From erroneous absentee applications being sent out by the McCain campaign to the ballot dropping position of a Senate race in Mississippi, the republican party is blatantly ignoring federal and state election laws. In other words, showing their true colors.
They will stop at nothing to disenfranchise voters. Why? Because they know when people come to the polls in droves, they loose. Simple as that. They have purposely tried to suppress voting in this country since the Federalists demanded that voters must have property in order to vote.
Why isn't Obama running ads telling people to beware of Republican Tricks?
Why isn't the news media interrupting their continual political discourse to no where to report on these shocking events?
But most importantly, where is Mr. Honor, the stand up guy, the conscious, if you will, of the Republican party. Where is McCain? Why doesn't he speak out against the actions of those in his party? Didn't he spend five and half years in a dingy cell in Hanoi to protect the freedoms this country has to offer? Maybe that voting rights aren't that important to the man who "loves America..."
Maybe I am over reacting, but I don't think I so. If the Democrats don't stand up and stand up NOW, then they are nothing more than complicit actors in this nightmare before Election Day that is happening right this minute.
The time for this kind of "trickery" to get a pass is over.
It isn't cute. There is no call for this in the 21st century. Too many people have died just trying to vote. Countless others have sacrificed much in order to universalize voting in this country. Was it really all for naught?
Stand up or just sit down and watch the dictators goose step over the Constitution.
My rant
Peace out
