If we can t win on public policy positions, let s keep people from getting to the polls, let s keep them from registering. let s keep power at all costs. that s what s gone on in florida. if there ever needed to be a federal investigation of the voting violations, the voting laws, it s here in florida and in some other states. no doubt about it. now, former florida governor charlie crist was on my dshow days before the election. saying these long lines were voter suppression. it s hard to interpret it any other way, reverend al. i think it is voter suppression. it s ridiculous. my heart bleeds for the people of florida. they ought to have the right to have this cherished, precious right to vote. a lot of people fought very hard for people to have that right. some died for it. we ought to respect it. rick scott won t even answer the question, but former governor charlie crist was right. some died for it. some of us are not going to let
Have come and gone after the election but it s disturbing to see it continue. ambassador let me go back to you for a minute. you said you served in republican and democratic administrations. would susan rice have had any role in the benghazi attacks, aside from speaking on behalf of the white house and the collective, as you say, in the aftermath, would she have had any direct role or knowledge independent of what she was told? no. she s not in charge of our policy towards the middle east. you know, you know how these things come about. there s a conference call before any sunday show where the person going on is briefed by a lot of people from a lot of different agencies. the administration determines there s one set of, you know, points they want to use. there s one message we want to get out publicly. so, you know, governments act collectively. this is a collective office.
