Claymore:

You are wrong! Now I know that facts tend to get in the way of your rants but in 1997 the Florida state legislature placed the responsibility of purging ex-felons from the voter roles to the office of Katherine Harris. And what was the makeup of this legislative body? Hmmmmm, you guessed it: Repub.

This legislation authorized the Secretary of State's office to sub-contract a "scrub" list to a private firm. The contarct was awarded to Database Technologies, which today is the DBT Online unit of Choice Point, Inc., a firm packed with heavy Rebups. on its board of directors.

Out of the the first list of ex-felons (8000 voters) Katerine Harris's office "odered counties to purge 8,000 Florida voters who had committed felonies in Texas. In fact (of Database's initial list) none of the group was charged with anything more than misdemeanors."

Now, this is just the beginning, Claymore. If you want the entire story you'll have to put your anger at Bill Clinton aside long enough to read Greg Palast's book, "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy".

But I know you won't read it. I can support the stuff I say. You don't seem to have that ability. You just go calling people "puss- bags" if you don't *like* them or they might present you with actaul facts to consider. You say that you have all this education so I don't think it would kill you to read the book and then come back and call folks liars.

SharonA: You have brought up a good point but had Gore been allowed to take the office that he won, then I think he would have used Lieberman as a hammer in Tel Aviv rather than an antagonist to the Palestinians. That's my opinion, girl. (Hey, I've the P-Vine loving the "turkey scapple... Go think.)
