disfranchise- v. , To deprive of a right or privelage, esp. the right to vote.
Bill's note: aka disenfranchise
Why do I bring this up? The time machine takes us back to the 2000 election. Remember the brain cell-deprived folks of parts of Florida who "claim" to have been disenfranchised? When the smoke cleared, it was a fabrication made by the Democrats; in fact, it was the absentee votes casted by those in the military that were being disfranchised. Thank goodness, they did count, if I remembered. For the record- BUSH WON EACH AND EVERY RECOUNT! BUSH WON!
Also, this is beginning to take place in New Jersey. The longer Governor McGreevey stays in office as an act of disgrace, the same will happen if something does not happen soon. The last day for him to leave in order to have a special election, as per the New JerseyState Constitution, is September 3. My fellow New Jerseyans, time is running out!
If you have not voiced your say to Governor James E. McGreevey, here is a site to check out:

While I am on the subject of the Garden State, another favorite game of the NJ Democratic Party is the bait-and-switch. Two years ago, they were succesful in doing it by removing Senator Robert "The Torch" Torricelli, and replacing him with our version of C. Montgomery Burns, Frank Lautenberg, nicknamed "The Fossil" by Rush Limbaugh. Now, they want to reverse gears of this by keeping McGreevey around till after the Presidential election. This is all part of their calculation of giving New Jersey to "Lurch", I mean, John Kerry. It is all about the thirst for power for the Democrats. If they lose California and New York, they are pretty much DOA, in their eyes.
Personally, I hope that Governor McGreevey comes to his wits, and leaves office; thus, giving the New Jersey voters the opportunity to elect somebody to fulfill the duration of term, which will end in January, 2006.
Governor McGreevey- there is still time for you to save face for both you and the Office of the Governor. Hey, some of us may respect you a little bit more. (Sorry, but I really hate being a mendicant. )
Talk about disfranchisement.

"For the record- Bush WON each and every recount!"
I'm a Democrat, and I don't plan to vote for Bush, but it disturbs me that most of us won't face the fact that Bush won fair and square. Put it in bold before history is rewritten.
