No. Jesse Jackson's visit was to investigate and publicize the harrassment of blacks and Haitians in Dade county who, That is a complete LIE! Nothing can be further from the truth! Jesse and Kweisi "Just hours after the nation's eyes turned to Florida's up-for-grabs presidential vote early Wednesday, Democratic operatives like Jesse Jackson and the NAACP's Kweisi Mfume suddenly transformed themselves into small-d democrats — interested wholly, they said, in 'fairness' and the integrity of the democratic process. Top Stories "Yeah, right," New York Post columnist Michael Meyers writes, observing that Mr. Jackson was on the streets of Florida "whipping up racial discord" over the initial count and recount. "That's what a loyal, big-D black Democrat does best during this crisis: Rev up the emotions of the whiners and the discontented, demand federal probes and call for recounts and revotes," Mr. Meyers said. The columnist said Mr. Jackson, in addition to being "a race grievant," has become an inside player at the Clinton White House. "If Bush gets into the White House, Jackson is evicted — back to being just another guy who rants for a living. "Worse still, some other blacks move in — and into real jobs: Secretary of State Colin Powell, National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice, blacks who have real resumes and have actually worked for a living, not just in public service but in private industry, too." Mr. Meyers added: "Let's get one thing perfectly clear — neither Jesse Jackson nor Kweisi Mfume really cares about democracy, which is always a little imperfect. No, it's: How can Mfume spend $12 million [helping Al Gore] and lose? How can Jackson give up the White House for the outhouse?"

Haitians can't vote in US elections. Only Americans. Perhaps you mean black Americans and Haitian Americans? I think the Voting Rights Act is going to be changed real soon. Not only will the voter be required to show ID, the voter will be required to show proof of citizenship. We aren't going to take their word anymore, and we aren't going to be PC anymore. No more Mr. Nice Guy. We're also going to make sure that all convicted felons remain disenfranchised without a pardon. Get over it. Or deal with it. The Culture War has begun, and this time, it's for keeps.

Whoa. I am a WASP and they made me produce my voter registration card and a photo ID. I have no problem with that as I would like to see voter fraud eliminated.

Did you hear about this? The engines were sabotaged on two buses transporting Republican Senior Citizens from Palm Beach to the polls. They were stranded on a lonely stretch of highway for four hours without bathroom facilities or drinking water. Many of them left their medication at home. The two wrecker drivers that magically appeared - both democrats, refused to tow them until the polls closed. Well, I didn't either. But I am learning from liberal democrats how to spin bull____.

I think we would both agree that the mass media don't provide nearly all the news that's worthy, but if you restrict yourself to Newsmax you will only get a limited amount of additional news. I can give you the attorney's name who has the affidavits on the voting irregularities. Can yo do the same on the bus incident?

the harrassment of blacks and Haitians in Dade county LOL....the harassment of the Haitians came from DemonRats and this is well documented. They had Gore placards WITHIN the polling places and were also inside telling Haitians what to push. I have no idea why you are accusing the Repubs of this. As for Jackson, do you really believe he is a peacemaker? Last year, he went to Houston and said that it was Selma all over again. Last year, he went to Illinois where the 2 HS kids were kicked out of school for starting a riot and said it was Selma all over again. Now he is in FLA claiming that because some people cannot take the time to read the ballot it is Selma all over again. Give me a break!
