You want to talk about "voter suppression" let's review the sordid history of the Democrat Party and what did for a century to black voters.<BR/><BR/>Asking someone for ID when they vote is nothing compared to the Democrat Jim Crow laws and other practices aimed squarely at preventing blacks from voting.<BR/><BR/>You need to learn some history.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899023066910200507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-13923319632157542362008-05-17T08:54:00.000-05:002008-05-17T08:54:00.000-05:00"your characterization of him, his family and staff is shameful."<BR/><BR/>That's your opinion.<BR/>It's Andre and his staff that's full of shame.<BR/>I post the truth and you get your panties in a bind...you get over it.indyerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03817373902728915873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-75279295820319768222008-05-17T07:38:00.000-05:002008-05-17T07:38:00.000-05:00IndyErnie, get over it.

Going back to when they would mail a lettter to the house and if it was returned, they would challenge the voter. We all know how reliable the U.S. mail is. At least, 4 or 5 times in the last year, I have been given letters by friends who mailed something to me and it was returned and now we have the Indiana voter ID law which even disenfranchised 12 catholic nuns this year including one who was 98 years old and only had a passport that had expired.....artfugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364503656694166926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-86084892735909120392008-05-16T19:37:00.000-05:002008-05-16T19:37:00.000-05:00Gary, Andre Carson can't help himself. I feel sorry for the guy. <BR/>He was raised by a liar and his staffs both campaign and congressional are full of liars. What do you expect from someone of less than average intellect when surrounded by such support. <BR/>If Andre Carson is re-elected the citizens of Indianapolis are doomed to two more years of zero representation.indyerniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03817373902728915873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-85696706099435509792008-05-16T19:04:00.000-05:002008-05-16T19:04:00.000-05:00...the way the GOP is going nationally after 8 years of George W Bush, will the Republican Party itself be around in 2012?Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/14214029150233485312noreply@blogger.com
