After signing the Voting Rights act, LBJ said.....(funny)
Edited on Wed Dec-08-04 07:35 PM by kuozzman
to John Lewis (the black guy clubbed in the head at a protest-the incident that sparked the riots of "Bloody Sunday"):

“Now, John, you’ve got to go back and get all those folks registered. You’ve got to go back and get those boys by the balls. Just like a bull gets on top of a cow. You’ve got to get ’em by the balls and you’ve got to squeeze, squeeze ’em till they hurt.”

That's hilarius! This artecle is actually an excellent read. Haven't finished it yet, but it's about elections, fraud, supression, HAVE, etc.

2. I don't know what you would call it
I don't know if quoting from "Landslide Johnson" in a psoitive way is a good way to start an article on voter fraud.
