Georgia

This photograph basically sums up how the (racist) media regards not just Latinos but particularly Puerto Ricans

Latino Pride my ass

Jen Baghia over at Twitter (@littlebrownjen) was a bit offended when she saw this show-cased as the photo of the day over at Georgia's Creative Loafing.

My response? My heart's calcified with these kinds of photos. Am so used to being portrayed as just a piece of bulbous ass I have no outrage left. I did say though that I thought it described Latinos in general and that's what I wrote on the photo yesterday. I take it back: I think this is they way they just look at Puerto Ricans in general.

What do you think?

Republican Election Fraud: The Evidence Mounts

I still hear people dismissing accusations of Republican election fraud as crazy conspiracy theories. This dispite mounting evidence that Republicans and their corporate allies, like Diebold, HAVE systematically explored vote tampering. Right now the evidence is strongest for the 2002 Senate race in Georgia and now evidence links Karl Rove with election fraud in that race.

Anyone who first makes such accusations is almost bound to be accused of being crazy. One of the earliest whistle blowers was Clint Curtis in Florida, a former Republican and computer expert, who claims he was approached by his Congressman, Tom Feeney, and asked to design software that could alter vote totals on touch-screen voting machines. This was in 2000 BEFORE the Presidential election. Clint Curtis was horrified, left the Republican Party in protest and even made two runs against Feeney (whose corrupt ass was finally brought down this year by Kosmas). Many criticized Curtis for claiming that people were trying to subvert the touchscreen machines BEFORE the 2000 election when supposedly no one was thinking touch screen. Well, some actual investigativg journalism by Dan Rather eventually revealed that people WERE thinking touch screen before the 2000 election and, in fact, the problems that arose in 2000 in Florida may have been part of the push for touch screen machines. That makes two reports of Republican scheming to commit election fraud in Florida. Add to that evidence that Republicans deliberately tried to create an undercount in Florida's 2006 Congressional race in the FL-13 district (see here and here) and you have a pretty good case for Republican Fraud in Florida.

Georgia Senate: Support Jim Martin!

We are still fighting for one more Senate win. Jim Martin is running to unseat despicable, anti-Vietnam Veteran sleaze ball Saxby Chambliss. Here is Jim Martin's latest ad:


Anyone can help win this Senate seat and stand up for our Veterans. If you want to help, you can phone bank to get out the vote. Win this one for Max Cleland! Win this one for our Vietnam Vets!

A Matter of Honor: Georgia Senate Race

This year Georgia has the opportunity not only to elect a fine Democrat, Jim Martin, to the Senate, but also to right a wrong committed by Republicans 6 years ago. Jim Martin is running against sleazy Republican Saxby Chambliss who ran a nasty smear campaign against Vietnam War hero and disabled Veteran Max Cleland. This was a typical Karl Rove smear campaign aimed at a man who sacrificed his limbs for his country. Saxby Chambliss, in comparison to Max Cleland's brave war record, was given five student deferments and he received a medical deferment for a bad knees due to a football injury. So Chickenhawk Chambliss smeared a genuine war hero, Max Cleland to win a Senate seat.

Now Democrat Jim Martin, also Vietnam Veteran, is running to defeat Chickenhawk Chambliss. Here is the latest ad from Jim Martin's campaign:


Jim Martin has been endorsed by the Macon Telegraph and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

QUOTES

"I am tolerant of all creeds. Yet if any sect suffered itself to be used for political objects I would meet it by political opposition. In my view church and state should be separate, not only in form, but fact. Religion and politics should not be mingled."
