RULES ARE FOR REPUBLICANS

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.

This is just sickening. If I was the RNC, I would hammer the Democrats with these facts in national commercials 24/7, because they have no defense. Why the hell isn't the RNC using this?

[motzman]

Because it doesn't matter. Most "Americans" like corruption, as long as they think they're benefitting...

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

Why isn't the RNC using this? Because the 'Rats jump on them for anything they do as being mean spirited and racist and because this works for them. Until decent people start treating the 'Rats as the ones who are mean spirited and racist, they'll keep acting like this. We get the gubmint we deserve. Decent people need to start educating the moronic masses.

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.

In the final vote count it will be found that 173.5% of registered voters showed up and voted. Rats will file suit claiming that the 200% they were aiming for was thwarted by Republicans who disenfranchised voter by intimidating them during their second and third trip through the polls.

I hammer my neighbor (a State worker and, of course, a Dem) for just this thing.
Recent drought, so no lawn watering. But look at his lawn, nice and green.
Next time I see him, I'm going to tell him I'm changing parties so I can break laws with impugnity.

[gcruse]

Why the hell isn't the RNC using this?

Because it might make Republicans look 'mean.'
'Mean' to the nerf-spined is like a cross to Dracula.

[gcruse]

Decent people need to start educating the moronic masses.

The Republican elites are in a position to do just that.
Why haven't they?  Are they cajone-challenged?
Sometimes you deserve what you get.  It's just a tragedy
that the country is rappeling down the socialist rat hole
as a result.

[G Larry]

Oft repeated:
Conservatives have firm values, but being human, can't always live up to them.
This is used against them.
Lib's have NO values, and always live "up" to them.
Therefore, no accountability for Lib's!

"Decent people need to start educating the moronic masses."

The Republican elites are in a position to do just that. Why haven't they? Are they cajone-challenged? Sometimes you deserve what you get. It's just a tragedy that the country is rappeling down the socialist rat hole as a result.

You're right. Most people, especially Republican politicians it seems, are quite cowardly. My theory is that we won't experience a fundamental change until society degrades to such an extent that even the 'Rats see a problem with what they've constructed for us. I don't see that happening any time soon, if ever at all. If it doesn't, we're going to have to choose between socialistic enslavement or revolution.

[gcruse]

Well said.

This year the rats will not get away with it.

I was watching a clip on Fox news today with Susan Estrich and I'm not sure who the Republican was but the issue of the "memorial" party was raised and the man said that it was shameful and you could just hear the genuine sorrow in his voice. Estrich's reaction was to laugh at him as if he were just being silly. It gave me a knot in my stomach and and a lump in my throat. Is this the latest in a long line of democrat abominations, to laugh at the grief of others?

Isn't it ironic how it is the "mean, nasty" conservatives whose hearts are broken and the "party of love and tolerance" who add insult to injury by laughing at our pain? What humanitarians they are.

[Hot Tabasco]

I would hammer the Democrats with these facts in national commercials 24/7,

Nope, let this situation pan out without Repub. backlash. Those who would be offended were and will vote accordingly but negative adds highlighting the disgraceful rally would indicate the Repubs were trying to capitalize on the moment and would be counter productive....

[sweetliberty]

"If it doesn't, we're going to have to choose between socialistic enslavement or revolution."

While clearly revolution is the American way and at times necessary for freedom to survive, we have become accustomed to being comfortable and are more likely to accept the enslavement of socialism to avoid a radical change. Let's face it, there is no one alive today who has seen civil war on our soil. Our forefathers had a noble dream. Sadly, our inheritance has made us soft instead of strong and we have come to take for granted what we should cherish and protect at all cost. I pray to God that I am proven wrong.

If the Pubs are smart they will have a corps of lawyers ready on Nov. 6th to sue to overturn every close election the Rats win. Of course they won't, but the RATS will.

Lee Atwater, oh how we miss you.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

While clearly revolution is the American way and at times necessary for freedom to survive, we have become accustomed to being comfortable and are more likely to accept the enslavement of socialism to avoid a radical change.

I, unfortunately, believe you are correct.
