Buzzflash: Jeb AGAIN stealing election for brother

In the name of democracy, Jeb is preparing to steal another presidential election for his 'bro. If that doesn't get you into the World Wide Hypocrisy (WWH) finals, what will?

That's right, after successfully purging thousands of black people from the voter rolls in Florida in 2000 and denying entitled citizens, almost all Democrats, the right to vote, Jeb is back to try it again.

You know the scam. It was the infamous "felons purge." Greg Palast exposed it as a calculated effort to keep as many blacks from voting in Florida as possible. Of course, Jeb and his frightful cohab -- we mean cohort -- Katherine Harris claimed that they were just following Florida law by keeping felons from voting. But what they intentionally did was knowingly expunge such a wide net of names that they would also keep thousands of valid voters from exercising their Constitutional right to choose a president.

...

Well, the national Democratic Party didn't make a stink about Jeb and Katherine denying Americans the right to vote, so, guess what, Jeb is back with a newer and better "felons purge" in 2004. Why isn't the national Democratic Party filing an injunction suit against its implementation? Good Question.

3. Hasn't Someone Sued For The List?

I thought I read somewhere last week that a group had sued and won to get the list of purged voters. I have it in my head that it was a newspaper (Miami Heralds?) and they intended to publish the list so people could see if they had been excluded.

5. Were you considering Florida in play? Don't.

The Democratic strategy MUST assume Florida will be stolen again.

8. If floridians will fight this the whole country will join

But people in florida have to get mad enough to plan some action. When are floridians going to get that mad?
