Something to make you smile!
I know something else was posted earlier today but here's another one from FreeRep:

The President Needs To Go On Offense!
10/17/04 | jimfrommaine

Posted on 10/17/2004 8:01:21 AM PDT by jimfrommaine

I wasn't going to post this, but I'm about ready to stroke out. Why are we always on defense? We need to take the fight to democrats before it's too late. They're trying to scare minorities into voting for them. Well the President needs to run ads in urban areas describing his Opportunity Zones, School-Choice Plan, and his faith based iniatives. He needs to encourage African Americans and Latinos to vote for him on November 2nd. The democrats always talk about wanting to improve the lives of minorities, well President Bush actually has a plan to do so. The word needs to get out, fast. If the President could get 12 or 13 percent of the African-American vote, more of the Hispanic vote it could offset the massive voter fraud that's going to take plan. Let's not kid ourselves, the left is going to vote early and often. 6AM on elction day CBS is going to call Ohio and Florida for Senator Kerry. The military ballots are going to disappear again. With two weeks left, the President and his staff need to be in desperation mode. They need to be working 24 hours a day. I called the RNC yesterday to make a comment, no one was there. I live in Maine, and I get to see a lot of the commercials the President is running in New Hampshire. They're horrible. He needs to go on offense, take the fight to the democrats. And I think reaching out to minorites is a good start. Kerry is ignoring African-American voters, taking them for granted. The President has an opportunity here.If he wants to win, he should take it. Sorry for the rant but I'm not feeling too confident about the President's chances. And if he loses, we could be in for a nightmare. Godbless everyone. Jim

2. Shrub should try 'rapping' in minority neighborhoods.
He loves to wear costumes, here's his chance! His pal, Don King can find him some pimp duds just like he wears. Great idea!

3. Kinda reminds me of that movie
Bulworth with Warren Beatty where he went "homeboy" to get the African-American vote.

4. Stroke out, Jimmy, Stroke out!
"...reaching out to minorities is a good start." Really? Where is Sammy Davis, Jr. when you need him?

7. Check out RollingStone article on GOP black "efforts"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=103x79272

This guy went undercover as a Republican in Florida, and describes how indifferent they were to black voters. One of their hardest working volunteers was a black guy, but no one really wanted anything to do with him except when they needed a "black Republican" for the media.

9. Where did this come from? Do you have a link?
Kerry was marvelous at putting Bush* on the defensive during the debates.

It was incredible.

10. Does someone
need to tell jimfrommaine that Bush has no offense? What's he got to run on? Nothing.
The part about Kerry taking the black vote for granted makes me laugh. WTF do these people know/care about getting the black vote?

12. Thanks for posting freeper propaganda.
If you want to see why minorities don't vote Republican, there is no better site than freerepublic.com. You won't find a higher concentration of bigotted nutcases anywhere on the web.
