November 1, 2002 --
MINNESOTA Democrats solemnly said it would be so very wrong - vulgar, don't you know, and insensitive - to so much as think a political thought until after the memorial service for the late Sen. Paul Wellstone. But even before they raised the rafters Tuesday with partisan rhetoric at that political rally - sorry, that memorial service - attended by 20,000 rollicking mourners, the Democrats had done some politicking.

A little more from the article:
"In St. Louis in 2000, Gore's post-election campaign began on Election Day, when his Democratic lawyers found a friendly judge to hear this argument: The Democrats who run St. Louis, and particularly the Democrats in charge of elections, are responsible for long lines at polling places in certain heavily Democratic precincts, and hence the Democratic officials are violating the rights of Democrats who want to vote for Democrats.
Bowled over by the force of this analysis, the judge ordered polls in certain heavily Democratic precincts to stay open later than the law allowed. The suit was filed in the name of a St. Louis congressman's staffer, whose claim that his right to vote was being denied was weakened by the fact that he had already voted.
The registered voters in St. Louis included Ritzy Meckler, who was only 13. Still, that is old for a springer spaniel, which Ritzy is. Registration rates in St. Louis are wondrous. In most cities, the number of persons registered is about 65 percent of the city's voting-age population. In St. Louis last year, the number of registrants was a remarkable 99 percent. Surely most were bipeds."
CLASSIC!!

We shouldn't be surprised at the shameful way Wellstone's death was exploited. After Carnahan's death we saw the same thing. Not in the form of a 'memorial service' but the same sympathy angle was played to get his widow a seat. "Still with Mel" was the slogan I believe.

Democrats act like the enemy of democracy. Treat them that way.

The cat is out of the bag as far as election strategy goes, and it'll only get worse from here. We'll become just like all those third-rate countries where it takes months to decide elections, leaving voters with even more unease over whether or not their votes really mattered. Finally, some "winner" will emerge from the back rooms, and be paraded around as our new elected official.
If the cat isn't placed back in the bag and strangled, we're well on our way to anarchy. Elections will be "won" with guns, whether metaphorically, or for real.

G Will brought up something that I hadn't thought of yet.
Campaign Finance Reform - this was passed, mostly at the urging of Dems. They have
no intention of abiding by these new laws. They'll follow the same pattern. Break the law, find a loophole, win the election, by then it's really too late. Who's going to "go back" on an election? Especially when the Dems muddy up the waters as much as possible to hide their fraud and law breaking.

Relatively speaking, Republicans still view politics as a game. For Democrats, it's an ongoing war. Republicans still don't understand just what that means and just how serious they are.
I have an associate here at work who happens to be an ordained minister. He writes a weekly column in some local papers and gives sermons at area churches each Sunday. During the week he is totally infatuated with liberal democratic politics and won't let a day go by without blurting out an arsenal of foul language directed at Dubya. Unfortunately he's my manager and has quite a volital temper, so I am constantly mediating a battle between the little Republican on one shoulder and the little conservative on the other. The conservative is telling me to shut up and keep your job. After going through a layoff last year, I will bite my tongue and quietly go about my business.
As a newly formed company, A questionaire was sent around asking individuals for input regarding choices for optional holidays. His reply (which he replied to "all") was that he wants to make "the day George W. Bush leaves office" a national holiday. Bill Clinton, in his mind, should be elevated to sainthood for what he had to endure at the hands of the Republicans. By the way, for what it's worth, he is not from here in NC, he's from "flyover country", a small town in Indiana.
