John posted some stuff about how Republicans use the race card He did?? I would like to see that... i would prefer that candidates really ran on the issues they espouse not on trying to smear their opponents. Certainly... I don't mind a bit of "sprited" mud-slinging since that makes politics "interesting".. But playing the race card is way over-abused and downright slanderous.. Hawk

WBK, The race card has now been played in Florida, just before a highly contested Governor's race. A boat full of about 200 Haitians went ashore near Miami, but almost all of them were captured, and will probably be sent back to Haiti. The black contingent of the democrats are making a stink about no using the "dry foot, wet foot" decision for these people. It was set up to protect Cubans fleeing the repressive government of Castro, so that if they got one foot on dry land, they could stay. Since the Haitians want to be here just to get the economic goodies of the US, that concept should not apply to them. They seem to forget, that many of the Cuban boat people were also black, so there is not race issue involved.
