Jack & Jill Politics

Report them here.

Member of Congress Jean Schmidt (R-OH) attempts somewhat unsuccessfully to vote. Presumably for herself. Guess Karl Rove would call that collateral damage. Watch below.

Also, Republicans in TN think that Chattanooga black folks are incredibly stupid. But who looks stupid now?(Nod: ProtectOurVotes.org)

There are reports out of Nashville that African Americans are getting phone calls telling them if they voted for Harold Ford Jr. in the August primary, they don’t need to vote for him again now.

According to media reports from Nashville, volunteers driving senior citizens to the polls for early voting have had their voters tell them they’d received these calls.

Can you believe that?

Do Republicans think African Americans are stupid? In 2004, Nashville’s African Americans were called and told to vote on Wednesday, not Tuesday. The racist GOP thinks black voters are too stupid to know the difference beteween a primary and an election. They think the African American community doesn’t know how to vote.

It won’t work. The GOP has spent the past five decades pulling these same dirty stunts, always targeting the black community. Tennessee’s African American voters have learned over 50 years of these sleazy suppression tactics not to trust phone calls telling them when and how to vote.
