Republicans apologize for challenging voters' validity


" SEATTLE – What was touted by King County Republicans as a major flaw in the election system is turning out to be a major embarrassment to the GOP.Party leaders formally challenged the validity of hundreds of voters and are now apologizing to many of them.The GOP officials were trying to root out voters who illegally registered places like storage facilities or post office boxes as their residences. They had last year's King County election debacle working in their favor."

1. Any time I see GOP and major embarrassment in the same sentence I
smile.

3. Yeah, its a great day in the morning....
when Republican bullshit comes back to smack 'em in the face!

In their never-ending efforts to project their own foibles onto Democrats
and to imitate us at every turn, Republicans seem to forget that you need
to back up your claims (in this case the claim that a lot of King Co votes
in last year's election were fraudulent) with actual facts.

One of the main things bringing the Neocons down is their tendency to
believe their own bull.

2. How about if we start "rooting out voters"...
by giving I.Q. tests before they're allowd into the voting booth.

4. I don't think we should give IQ tests
We should give them personality tests instead. This way, we can root out the paranoids, sociopaths, and blind followers, no matter how smart they may be.
