The Rethugs have always tried to intimidate the poor and minorities from voting. Whether it's by placing police officers in polling places in Maryland or adding legitimate voters to the felon rolls in Florida.
However, this year I believe that the Rethugs are going to use terror as a weapon of mass intimidation. Condi Rice already went on TV and said that she wouldn't be surprised if terrorists attacked before Election Day as a means to determine the outcome. Apparently, she was alluding to the March 11th Madrid train bombings.
Now, I know that this is entirely possible. I'm not discounting her statement. However, it seems that the Rethugs will try to repeat this line over and over again, to try to scare people away from going to the polls. They would love to scare away urban and minority voters, the core of the Democratic Party. And the only way the Democrats can win this November is to have a strong turnout, especially among the party base.
As a Democrat, we cannot let this happen. We have to debunk these statements as soon as they enter the airwaves.
