3. Especially Colin Powell
The concerted disenfranchisement,particulary, of African American soldiers should keep him up at night. I suspect these people are entirely without surviving souls; it's the only way I can imagine they remain able to live with themselves.

6. "Keep him up at night"?
What are you smoking? Powell has been a soulless, boot-licking, obedient toadie his entire military career, including when he got involved in the cover up for My Lai.

8. I'm sure you're right.
My reply was, I think, reflective of my own disgust at the GOP's targeting African American soldiers for disenfranchisement. I'm pretty much appalled that even the yahoos who support this invasion of Iraq won't stand up for the rights of these soldiers to vote.

4. stalling
What about Republicans stalling on renewing the soon-to-be expired Voting Rights Act of 1965? This is shocking.
