So why do Republicans accept defeat with grace while Democrats try to switch a close loss into a win through a corrupt recount process?

I can think of several Republicans who have not accepted defeat gracefully. 99% of the time, though, they are RINOs losing to a conservative...

Because Republicans, at least many of them, have a conscience.

Intraparty squabbles between two relatively conservative candidates in a primary is a bit different don't you think?

Interparty? Scratch and claw until "all the votes are counted" and all the illegal votes are crap canned.

Its called class vs gutter trash mentality.

FREE ADVERTISING ~ when you demand a recount in a primary you get your guy's name in the press, and even if the other guy's name gets in there too.

This is part of the BRANDING PROCESS where every additional mention has value even if its negative in its implications.

Republicans became known as the "Stupid Party" in part because they fail to take advantage of modern advertising and market share theory to help win elections.

Kind of puts a lie to the idea that Republicans favor Markets and Capitalism.

This particular election is so close there's no doubt additional disputation would bring out more Republican voters in the end, and also attract some Democrat voters for no other reason than constant repitition of the candidate's names. Remember, both are Republicans so what is to lose.

Because class, honor, and integrity are not in the leftist’s vocabulary.

LOL!
You answered your own question. Democrats are corrupt.

How low does a Democrat politician have to be to cheer military body counts and bad economic news when Republicans are in charge, and how selfish does a Democrat voter have to be to exchange his vote for the "free stuff" confiscated on his behalf from his neighbors by Democrat politicians?

We're talking worse than just "corrupt".
The whole "Democrat" thing is sicker than any normal person could fathom.

Conservatives know that there is life beyond government.

[Candor7]

Because the Dems are fascists.
