Well, since Jeb is still in FL, the GOP doesn't need to buy that state, they will just "lose" some ballots again 
Guess the GOP studied old Chicago political winning policies for elections. Plenty of dead people in FL to vote for GWB.

That would be fair as long as Florida and Illinois have the same number of electoral votes then they cancel each other out.
As far as the President's economic proposals, he should have just stuck to his principles and stayed fiscally conservative. By trying, like Clinton, to take the other party's positions and get more of the center, he's just alienating his base.
It works only for a democratic president because of what Lawrocket is always saying:
that the typical dem is partisan regardless of the issue, but the typical republican can be swayed by logic and common sense (thus, the typ Republican can be convince to vote for a good guy dem, but a typical dem will vote for a crook dem just because he's under the party ticket). How's that for an oversimplified stereotyping?

Edit: most of the lost/disenfranchised ballets just the ex-patriot ballets anyway. All those lost votes were certainly made up by letting felons and illegal immigrants vote. That should be plenty more votes for the Kerry.

Note to Benny: conservatives don't care what color anyone is. That's one of many reasons we don't vote for or respect anyone who judges anyone by their race for any reason or supports programs that do the same. Check out how well D. Duke was received by the national republican party as compared to...oh...let's say...former senate majority leader Byrd is/was with the national democratic party - nice compare/contrast exercise to expose the difference between the parties as far as civil rights are concerned.

QuoteRights Panel Criticizes Florida's Bush, Harris
Justice Dept. Probe of 2000 Vote Is Sought
By Robert E. Pierre
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, June 9, 2001; Page A03
The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights yesterday approved a report that harshly criticized Florida leaders for allowing problems during last November's presidential election, disenfranchising countless Floridians, the majority of them African Americans.
While I may agree that most conservatives don't care about the color of our skin but rather the contents of your wallet, they definitely care about being elected and they know how black people historically tend to vote.
Never go to a DZ strip show.
And I'm sure all members of the GOP have a best friend of another color/creed. Whatever. This is where these threads get out of control - the dems are stereotypical this, the repubs are stereotypical that. Is "I know you are but what am I?" far behind?
I'm neither and would never associate myself with either party. I vote the lesser evil. Right now it is the Dems...it hasn't been that way in the past for me. Yes. I have voted for the GOP more than once in my life, and I have voted for Dem's, Libertarian, etc.....
But, this is a great way to stick to the platform and issues at hand.

>conservatives don't care what color anyone is.
I think a lot of conservatives honestly believe that, but such a belief can be counterproductive. From Time Magazine:
Here's some advice for Republicans eager to attract more African-American supporters: don't stop with Trent Lott. Blacks won't take their commitment to expanding the party seriously until they admit that the GOP's wrongheadedness about race goes way beyond Lott and infects their entire party. The sad truth is that many Republican leaders remain in a massive state of denial about the party's four-decade-long addiction to race-baiting. They won't make any headway with blacks by bashing Lott if they persist in giving Ronald Reagan a pass for his racial policies.

Huh??? I didn't have to disclose my race when I registered to vote. Are you saying Florida requires race disclosure when registering to vote?

Bill I was beginning to think you had died or something. It's good to see a nice green 'billvon' in a thread once in a while.
I think whoever wrote that article needs a serious dose of reality. Four decade long history of race-baiting my ass. This author falsely assumes that Reagan and all of his policies were racist and that Republicans have always been weak on civil rights.
In reality what has happened is that conservatives over the past decade have evolved. They aren't taking crap from left wingers on this supposed race issue any more. Slowly but surely, the republican party's leadership is finding their cajones and are standing up to the race-baiting tactics of Jackson, Sharpton, Gore, Clinton, et al. Gone are the days when the only party to elect a former Ku Klux Klansman as Senate Majority Leader can throw the race card up and have instant credibility whilst their opponents turn the other cheek. The conservative today is damned proud of the fact that we neither judge people by their race for any reason nor support programs that do likewise, and sure as HELL isn't going to let anyone who supports such programs speak with credibility on any race issue.
Note that the national party is growing a spine, but slowly. If they had a spine, the memoranda found by Frist's recently fired aide would have been splattered over every newspaper in the country. Take the following phrase from one such memo: 'We should oppose him [Estrada] because he is Hispanic and the White House appears to be grooming him for a Supreme Court nomination.' - that sentence alone is indictment enough as to how much credibility the left has on racial equality - ZILCH - regardless of how the memorandum in which it was found was obtained. Can you imagine the media frenzy that would have occurred had a Republican memo leaked with this phrase: 'We should oppose Judge Smith's nomination because he is black and the White House appears to be grooming him for a Supreme Court nomination' ??
The race-baiting tactics of the left will continue to hold water for a few years more, but as the RNC leadership grows its spine, the left should beware. It's an issue upon which they depend to motivate a large portion of their voting base to the polls - and an issue which is rapidly becoming more and more impotent.

Which is why I refuse to buy into party lines or those that speak for them.
Good to see the GOP is getting their racial act together just in time to strengthen their predujice against homosexuals in this country._________________________________________
