Ah, the deadly D word or "disenfranchise" word. No, it doesn't mean to scare someone away from opening a McDonald's franchise. Democrats love this word and say it over and over in the news every two years or during election time.
If a Democrat oversleeps and forgets to wake up to vote, he was disenfranchised because his Republic boss overworked him. If a bus of illegal immigrants try to get bussed from California into Las Vegas and a pasty white guy asks them for identification before voting, he is disenfranchising them. Forget that they are illegal and have no voting rights!
I wonder, does
6 Democrats slicing the tires of a fleet of vans to get out the Republican vote count as disenfranchisement?
Today, Hillary and up-and-coming Illinois senator Barack Obama were upset that
President Bush spoke at the NAACP. So, they quickly disenfranchised the NAACP from dealing with the Bush administration.
Quote:
Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois warned NAACP delegates to be cautious of any civil rights promises Bush offers when speaking to the group today. The senators criticized Republicans for allowing the landmark 1965 voting act to nearly expire and said the Justice Department has failed to aggressively pursue allegations of disenfranchisement.
"Don't be bamboozled. Don't buy into it," Obama said, trying to anticipate Bush's speech, which is expected to touch upon his support for extending the act. "It's great if he commits to signing it, but what is critical is the follow-through. You don't just talk the talk, but you also walk the walk."

BUT as always Democratic congressmen have no clue what is going on in congress.
Quote:

While Democrats have accused the GOP of being too slow to renew the Voting Rights Act, Republicans responded last week by passing the legislation in the House. The bill is pending in the Senate.

Could it be that these two leading Democrats don't like Republicans reaching out to minorities? Democrats do not like it when Republicans reach out to minorities because it may prevent them from using the D word in 2008. Who is disenfranchising who?
