Chris is braver than I, but I have to agree. The Dems have no shame, and are willing to do anything to get their candidate elected. Try to keep polls open in Dem districts, claim vote fraud by playing the racism card ('why would a Jew ever vote for Buchanan?'), and demand that people who marked two candidates get a 'second chance'.
At least the Reps don't pretend to be things they aren't - you know you're getting a bunch of big business big money folks there. Apparently the Dems vision of a democracy is to hold elections until their candidate wins.
Chris is right to call bullshit regarding if the tide were turned. Where were all those vehement Rep protests when Kennedy beat Nixon in '60 thanks to Mayor "The police are here to preserve disorder" Daley and his dead voters?
The whining about the EC and the FL vote, AFTER the election, is pathetic. Only people like Chuck0, who recognize the system as corrupt BEFORE the election, and protest the system instead of voting, have any moral high ground.
