 <description>&lt;p&gt;There is now a solution to the hanging-chad, software glitch and electronic shenangans of the Republicans: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scantegrity.org/washington/&quot; title=&quot;http://www.scantegrity.org/washington/&quot;&gt;http://www.scantegrity.org/washington/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No, I don&#039;t work for them -- &quot;I heard it on NPR&quot;...!&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;INTENTION is a Key to Democrat Victory:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many of you know of meditation, visualization, and of making intentions and know how very powerful they are.  It is my intention that Barak Obama is our next president, and I believe that he has made that intention as well.  If the millions of American voters who want Barak Obama to be our president not only vote (early, for vote-security purposes) AND also make the same intention...how can we fail?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;VISUALIZE AND MEDITATE FOR OBAMA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;INTEND THAT BARAK OBAMA IS OUR PRESIDENT.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;BTW William, I know you know the answers to the questions you are asking and you still are a neocon idiot. If you knew anything about what is going on with ACORN then you would not post such lunacy, yu ditto heads can&#039;t help urself. Turn off Rush and open a book unless you like being ignorant.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;I am a republican, but not the type that represents the neocon christofascist of today. When I got out of the Army during Vietnam I heard a report on the radio that the christians were going to take over a political party and get what they wanted. They did. In the meantime the right wing neocons were developing their plans to get rid of the entitlement society. Thus the beginnings of what we have today. The democrats of old were racist southerners who controlled the white racist votes and most of congress. Then civilc rights started by Ike and followed by Kennedy. The real republicans were Ike and he was for a large middle class, union protections and a small working government not  controlled by a military industrial complex. Look what we have today. Christians, whose leader, geesus, was a socialist, are completely against helping others and those less fortunate. Republicans are against government of any kind and when in power do everything to make it less efficient, thereby creating a rational for their base. I am ready to start a new republican party, one that wants lower taxes for the middle class, none for those less fortunate, higher for those who make more. lots of taxes for greedy bastards, and excessive taxes for those corporate raiders who destroy jobs. Taxing churches who engage in Mega Churchs and all those who broadcast so called news programs. Medical care, care for the needy, housing, transportation, nutrition and lots of states rigths. Everyone will be required to vote and voting will occur in the last two weeks of October until the first Tuesday in November which would be a voting holiday, maybe switching Presidents day to that Tuesday. Who will join me? I got lots more about being green.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Misinformation about ACORN, questions about Obama&#039;s citizenship?  C&#039;mon.  For once, I&#039;d like to hear from a conservative who&#039;s actually done his research - one who has the FACTS and can debate a real argument related to the story instead of trolling about.  I&#039;ve done my homework - why can&#039;t the trolls do theirs?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And though I agree with Don that both parties play a role in voter fraud/supression, the Republican party is notoriously better at it.  If they put the same effort into getting apathetic Reps to vote (historically lower voter turnout) as they put into supressing the Dem votes, they might actually win an honest race without having to steal it.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;Michael-&lt;br /&gt;
     Barack Obama was born in Hawaii-after it had been admitted to statehood. John McCain was not born in the United States-but in a foreign (Panama) country. It has not been clear if he was born in a US Military Base Hospital, or in a cab-off base.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;The New Deal Coalition began to fracture as more Democratic leaders voiced support for civil rights, upsetting the party&#039;s traditional base of conservative Southern Democrats and Catholics in Northern cities. After Harry Truman&#039;s platform gave strong support to civil rights and anti-segregation laws during the 1948 Democratic National Convention, many Southern Democratic delegates decided to split from the Party and formed the &quot;Dixiecrats,&quot; led by South Carolina governor Strom Thurmond (who, as a Senator, would later join the Republican Party). Over the next few years, many conservative Democrats in the &quot;Solid South&quot; drifted away from the party. On the other hand, African Americans, who had traditionally given strong support to the Republican Party since its inception as the &quot;anti-slavery party,&quot; continued to shift to the Democratic Party due to its New Deal economic opportunities and support for civil rightslargely due to New Deal relief programs, patronage offers, and the advocacy of civil rights by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Although Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower carried half the South in 1952 and 1956, and Senator Barry Goldwater also carried five Southern states in 1964, Democrat Jimmy Carter carried all of the South except Virginia, and there was no long-term realignment until Ronald Reagan&#039;s sweeping victories in the South in 1980 and 1984.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The party&#039;s dramatic reversal on civil rights issues culminated when Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964. On doing so he commented, &quot;We [the Democrats] have lost the South for a generation.&quot; Meanwhile, the Republicans, led again by Richard Nixon, were beginning to implement their Southern strategy, which aimed to resist federal encroachment on the states, while appealing to conservative and moderate white Southerners in the rapidly growing cities and suburbs of the South. Southern Democrats took notice of the fact that 1964 Republican Presidential candidate Barry Goldwater had voted against the Civil Rights Act, and in the presidential election of 1964, Goldwater&#039;s only electoral victories outside his home state of Arizona were in the states of the Deep South.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Courtesy: Wikipedia&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Republican Party today in no way resembles the Republican Party prior to 1965.  Anyone with a brain would recognize that African Americans today are better aligned with the Democratic Party than the Republican Party.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By the way, I am white and voting for Obama.  OMG!  How could that be?  Why, I should be supporting the white guy, not because of his policies but his skin color, right?&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;On one of the &quot;conspiracy&lt;br /&gt;
theory &quot; web sites they&lt;br /&gt;
have Obama as the next best&lt;br /&gt;
thing to Hitler. They even&lt;br /&gt;
had some young people dressed&lt;br /&gt;
in camoflage and it wasn&#039;t&lt;br /&gt;
FDR&#039;s CCC corps either. So&lt;br /&gt;
I don&#039;t know who to belive&lt;br /&gt;
on Obama. I am not to please&lt;br /&gt;
with McCain either.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;...historically 90-95% of blacks support democratic candidates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pretty short &quot;historical&quot; view there, Tom.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fact is, for over 2/3 of the period following the UnCivil War, for a full century, in fact, black folks overwhelmingly supported the Republican party.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every African-American in Congress was a Republican through 1935.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1954 marked the beginning of the modern Civil Rights movement with the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court Decision. The decision was written by Chief Justice Earl Warren, 3-term Republican Governor of California and appointee of Republican Dwight Eisenhower.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Republican President Eisenhower then passed the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1957. This was followed by the 1960 Civil Rights Act authored by Republican Everett Dirksen. And, Republicans overwhelmingly supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 1964 Civil Rights Act only became law after Republican votes broke a Democrat filibuster that sought to never allow the act to be voted on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 1965, Republican appointed judge Frank Johnson over rules Democrat Governor George Wallace allowing Martin Luther King, Jr.&#039;s protest march from Selma to Montgomery to proceed.&lt;/p&gt;

 <description>&lt;p&gt;William...the answer to why 90-95% of blacks support Obama has much to do with the fact that historically 90-95% of blacks support democratic candidates. It makes sense if you think about it...Black voters would have voted for the democratic candidate and the only difference is that the candidate is also partially black. I hope I answered your question.&lt;/p&gt;
