Now in the world of Karl Rove and backroom dealings of the Republican Party no one can know exactly what has happened and how people have been influenced. But through the little bit of information that we do know from the Jack Abramoff case and the Tom Delay case and the Valerie Plame case and the some of the critical unified Republican voting in Congress that Karl Rove unifies the party through intimidation. And, we had witnessed that while Karl Rove was under close investigation in the Valerie Plame investigation Karl laid low and the Republican congress lost some of its uniformity.
So, when I heard that the
Voting Rights Act was no longer going to be renewed I knew that something must have happened behind the scenes. In fact, everything was set for the renewal of this legislation until late Thursday. Suddenly some key members of the Republican Party changed their minds and the law will not come up for a vote until, ... until what?
It turns out that some key Texans believe that the voting rights of minorities no longer need to be protected. These Republicans have determined that southern states who were once the key abusers of voters rights no longer feel that they need the federal government to assure protection of minority groups from this particular abuse.
Apparently they would like to avoid questioning into the types of voter rights violations seen in the 2000 Florida elections or the 2004 Ohio elections. The Voters Rights Act is simply a potential road block in the solidification of the American One Party System.
It sure seems obvious that Karl Rove is back...
