POLL: Dean's comments on GOP & blacks, help or hurt Dems?

[yurbud]

Dean said:

"I think it's hypocritical for the Republicans to pretend to reach out to the African-American community unless they say they are going to reauthorize what gave the African-American community political power," Dean said in an interview. "I'd love to have the president say whether he's going to reauthorize the Voting Rights Act."

"The chairman of the Republican Party as you know has made a big deal about attracting African-American voters," Dean said to conference attendees. "And this is a litmus test. If you aren't going to support the extension of the Voting Rights Act, I don't know what right you have to go to a black church and show your face."

1. Helps, in fact helps ALOT I have to say.

The GOP is attracting african-americans to its party who are totally corrupt thugs, like Blackwell, who love to engage in criminal behavior. This is all about their "moral values" :mad:

They have no right to be marching through the churches recruiting blacks, when african-americans (especially democrats!) had their civil rights trampled all over in the last 3 elections. It's hilarious hypocrisy.

2. No different than...

getting middle class and lower class whites to believe the Repubs care about their economic and life issues. They simply see blacks as another segment of the Dem base to root out and undermine, much like they have done with Unions in this country.

3. "This is perfect, framing the act as the issue and not how Dean said it."

*w been asked on multiple occasions would he renew the Voter Rights Act. Every time he's said he's not familiar with the Act. A statement that is just as inflammatory as any of Dean's perceived out of line statements.

I've seen a few African Americans talk about this and I'm happy Dean's going to make this an issue. If *w and the Repubs Are serious about attracting more minorities they should just pass the act and move one.

If they try to allow those provision to laps so they continue disenfranchising minority voters. Democrats need to scream about it.

7. Not familiar. Hmmmm...

"I just can't wait to hang it." *GWB

4. MODS! Please reveal the ahole that voted for the last choice.

NO ONE is that dense, even the Fred RePhelpicans know that's BS, it must have been a slip up.

5. I was wondering who did that, myself.

Would have been nice if he (or she) had posted an explanation of this idiocy opinion.

6. It was probably Dick Cheney's daughter.

8. I should have made that option more sappy "the party of Lincoln..

has always fought for the rights of black people!"

(until LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964).
