I'll start a movement to impeach Bush. . . just give me one factual example of how he has disenfranchised Americans of color.

There's several thousand articles about this happening in Florida during the 2000 election - the sad thing is no one probably would have noticed if Florida hadn't been so close.
Florida's flawed "voter-cleansing" program
Secretary of State Katherine Harris hired a firm to vet the rolls for felons, but that may have wrongly kept thousands, particularly blacks, from casting ballots.
When you bring up Bush you're probably thinking George, but this was his little brother, Jeb at the helm of this fiasco.
