This reeks of desperation on the part of the left. Even with the media cheer leading, I don't see things going well for them on election day.

I hope I'm not underestimating the stupidity of the American voter or the RATS propensity to cheat.

All the usual (Communist) suspects

I hope I'm not underestimating the stupidity of the American voter or the RATS propensity to cheat.

When they begin to protest the black genocide of 50% abortions, and/or the plague of black-on-black murders that is the great majority of deaths among young blacks who sonehow survived the abortion genocide, I’ll be there. ALL black lives matter.

[Jim Robinson]

Pray they stay out for a long time. Forever would be just about right.

[SunkenCiv]

Good idea. Show the country how we can't tell the difference.
