Angry Cotton Pickers will decide this Election

Here we go..time to pander to the African American community and scare us into thinking if we elect Bush we'll go back to picking cotton .. it is so sickening!


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.
