It seems like the Dems will be taking both houses of Congress.

Those charges of voter supression and dirty tricks are likely to earn Dems approximately 0 votes. I don't know why they trot out that tired mule every election.

The reason the Democrats talk about these things in every election is because in every election the Republicans break the law. Voter surpression is a very really problem and it has been a corner stone of Republican election strategy since the 1960's.

Republicans know that blacks, hispanics, native Americans, and even Asians normally vote Democrat so the Republicans engage in a massive campaign of voter supression and vote fraud. That is just the way Republicans opperate.

Setting up the next election.

Here's an audio file from the right wing nutjob radio show "The Laura Ingram Show" where she hands out the number to the DNC's get out the vote line. The she-witch calls upon all of here listeners to call the Democrats' get out the vote line and jam all the lines so that Democrats can't contact voters and remind them to vote. It's just another example of how Republicans are evil and attempt to prevent people from voting.

Lame.

I'm disappointed. I was hoping for a gloating Oerdin; at least that would be different. Whiny Oerdin is really boring now...

Typical Drake comment. 2 of the 3 branches of government are still controlled by the Republicans and one branch is split in power. That's just the barest of bare in power sharing.

What's more pointing out deliberate, widespread, and on going criminal activity on the part of the RNC is not whining. The very fact that you endorse and/or dismiss voter surpression, dirty tricks, and criminal behavior says something about your character, Drake.

The "Laura Ingram Show" is part of the RNC now?

It's just a waste of time and energy. Better to spend the priority getting out the vote.

Besides, making these charges creates a victim complex in the Democratic Party.

The Democrats are trying to get out the vote and the Republicans are actively engaged in preventing nonwhites from voting by every means possible. The reason the Democrats point this out is because it is completely unlawful and unethical yet nothing EVER is done about it. They want this criminal activity to stop and the people doing it to go to jail; that's what needs to happen if we are a free society.

If pointing out criminal wrong doing and demanding that it be punished "creates a victim comples in the Democratic Party" then maybe it is because they are victims and they do have a point.

Yes. Like the Rush Limbaugh Show and most of the rest of the right wing talk radio circuit she recieves daily talking points from the RNC telling her what issues the RNC is trying to push today and what their spin is on each topic. The rightwing talk radio shows are little more then organized propoganda arms of the RNC.

I see Drake still cannot counter any of the points I've made nor, as is usual, can he contribute anything.

Need I point how, just one county north of me in Orange County, one of the local Republican ****bags sent out Spanish language fliers saying anyone who looks Mexican will be arrested and deported if they attempted to vote. A full month and a half after this deliberate attempt at voter supression was exposed in the media the RNC "asked" their candidate to step down from the election. Why did it take a month and a half for the RNC to respond? Simple. That was exactly one day after the deadline where their ****bag legally couldn't step down. The RNC waited a full six weeks just so their guy couldn't step down when they "called for him to step down".

The RNC is in on this voter supression. That's the only way it would be widespread across the country, why so many Republicans are doing it, and why the RNC always finds some justification for this criminal activity.

Because the only stuff they find on the Dems' side are a few dead people voting in Chicago. Compared to the crap the Repubs pull that's nothing

And may I point out that those dead people haven't voted since the 1970's. The people who did that are long gone from the political scene yet the Republicans continue their dirty tricks and their supression of the nonwhite vote in virtually every election across the country. One is a problem solved a third of a century ago and the other is pervasive and on going.
