Repugs blame the Indians for SD loss ... sad, really

“If you take out the Indian reservation, we would have won,” said Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.), former chairman of the NRCC.

That's the way they want it ... disenfranchise anyone who doesn't vote their way. Apply that logic to any election and see what you come up with: "If you take out everyone who voted for Gore, * would have won." Oh, wait ... they did. :grr:

1. they did that with black voters in louisiana

said if blacks couldn't vote, landrieu would not have won the senate race.

it sure says a lot about what they think of nonwhite americans. and they wonder why they can't get the minority votes.

2. Watch out SD

They might try a Florida-style voter roll purge between now and the November election, the only difference would be that it was black people in Florida, and in South Dakota it would be the Indians.

Nothing like playing fair and setting a good example for the kids.

3. I saw the same on Freerepublic too

I'd venture to say that perhaps upwards of 35-40% of Freepers are racist homophobes.

How else do you explain why Michael Savage has such a huge following?

4. I guess we could apply the reverse of that logic ...

by taking out all the toothless, tobacco spitting, inbred, rednecks. Then we win every time.

5. Janklow was popular in large part

because of his racist, heavy-handed "Indian policies" .... I was disappointed that none of the major news medias covered this aspect of his political life during his most recent legal "troubles." I urge interested people to read "In the Spirit of Crazy Horse," by Peter Matthiessen. Not only is it a ver important book in terms of the difficulties that Lakota Indians face today, but it is really one of the earliest indicators of the "anti-constitutional" behaviors that the far-right were taking ..... the book was kept out-of-print in the USA by a series of strange court actions, all of which were as crooked as the supreme court's ruling on the Gore v bush case.

6. Those damn Indians

They've been a problem since John Wayne fought them at the Alamo.
