CRAWFORD, Texas — President Bush's campaign intensified criticism of Sen. John Kerry's views of the war on terrorism Sunday and the Democratic challenger fought back forcefully as the two candidates prepared for the final debate on Wednesday.
At church services in Miami on Sunday, Kerry sought support from minority voters and equated his campaign with the civil rights movement. (Related stories: Bush hits West | Kerry in N.M.)
"We have an unfinished march in this nation," he said at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson, stumping with Kerry, urged the congregation to go to the polls.
"The power is in your hands, hands that once picked cotton," he said.
Bush received 9% of African-Americans' votes in 2000; their support is key to Kerry's hopes of carrying Florida.

WTH???
I try to ignore the crap you say but this is too much. That one little half of a statement Jackson said is not saying that Black Americans are going to go back to picking cotton if they vote for/elect Bush. This is rediculous. I am not too much of a Jesse Jackson fan but mischaracterizing his statement like that is unfair, childish and flat out ignorant on your part.
If you want to vote for Bush, then do so but you need to quit all this mess by starting these threads and criticizing other people for voting whatever ways they choose to.
