They were the original proponents of only allowing white men with property to v**e and having senators hand-picked by state office-holders. Conserving the aristocracy you know; that's the way the Tories still have the British House of Lords r****d. William F.

For decades, these democracy-deniers had to operate stealthily, but recently the conservative-leaning Supreme Court weakened the V****g Rights Act and now the red states are back - right out in the open - trying to suppress the v**e.
