Oh, I forgot to say that for many people being a Republican is the equivalent of being American! So, why would cheating on an election be unAmerican? They may well feel that they were doing their patriotic duty!

They have made the word 'liberal' a dirty word right alongside the word 'socialist' and the day may come when being Democrat is equally as suspect! It's coming! So being/acting Republican may become the equivalent of 'American' and they may not truly care about elections! They were quite willing to disenfranchise women and African Americans for centuries. Why not Democrats?

I read pages 1, 2 and 3 then skipped to the end of the list and was bowled over by the number of responses that disagreed with the Salon position. Wow! Are we ALL deluded? Do we all have problems with reality? Are we so poorly educated that we can't read research and interpret it critically? Are we just so damned Democrat that we can't see a fair election when one comes along?

Read bulletein boards elsewhere and you'll realize that there are many people out there who are willing to 'look the other way,' as long as doing so means a Repug win! So, the thought that so many people would have to be in on the fix and keep quiet about it isn't so far fetched to me! Do you really believe that all the 'problems' with the 2004 election just happened to come together in that year by coincidence? COME ON! WAKE UP! I know it's hard to accept that it could happen in this country, but I say, 'WHY NOT!?' The handmaidens of this crew have been practicing on Central and South America for years. Why not bring it home!

Let's just pray that some of their other strategies (disappearances) don't come home to roost!!
