Since we're talking about domestic issues ....
 

I thought that usually happened when members of the opposition party got ahold of it, but whatever.

Since the article didn't give the exact figures, I guess we'll have to wait until the spring of 2005 in GWB II to see if there's anything to worry about here on fiscal policy, no?

The argument for a big win
 

Homeland Security took over all duties of the INS, which includes preventing fraud by immigrants (legal and otherwise). It's a legit activity for the dept., though I agree their efforts would be better targeted at other aspects of their duties in the run up to the election. Like keeping shit from blowing up.

If the loser raises the cry of "recount! recount!" after this election I will probably be made sufficiently sick by the self serving cesspool of US politics that I will puke on my shoes. That's why I kept maintaining last time that challenging the FL results and demanding repeated recounts was pernicious and foolish. "Oh," everyone kept telling me, "how can it be a bad thing to be sure every vote is counted accurately, when so much is riding on it?" "Because there will be a next time," I said, and here it comes.

BR(I say we adopt the rule in the british system - no recounts, ever, and if there's a fuck up you just suck it up; otherwise the whole system descends into anarchy every time some idiot marks two names by accident)C

The argument for a big win
 

Well, in the spirit of bipartisan compromise that y'all will need to survive my bootheel after November 2, 2004, I will go on record saying that nobody should be hassling anybody outside of a naturalization ceremony. That seems like a particularly despicable thing to be doing, though it would not itself seem to relate to voting fraud charges. Who is doing the hassling here anyway? This is the kind of thing that would get the Right and the Middle going if they were informed of it, so maybe somebody should try publicizing this insanity now rather than waiting to use it as a post-election charge later.

The voter-registration thing is another story though. What better place to catch someone who you might be looking for, than a voter registration place.

These unwashed hippie illiterates are all traitors and should be taken out and shot in the interest of advancing civilization. They are a blight on face of Lady Liberty.

Oh wait....never mind.

I'm not sure what bothers me more -- the shaking of my paradigm (which was to recognize the truth that only traitors and French people thought that things were not A-okay, hunky-dory in Iraq), or that Ty reads the National Review.

OK. I'll have my people check to see if there's a paper with a larger circulation than the WaPo who might want to pick this story up.
I agree, assuming you're looking for high school nerds with fake IDs.

"Yeah, he'll be mad because I didn't say it was the biggest one I ever saw."

-- Attorney Bob Bennett, as quoted by CBS News' Bob Schieffer in TV Guide and his new book, after describing "a part of Clinton's anatomy" as "normal in size, shape and direction."

Why does Senator Kerry acknowledge only one of our internets?

You're resorting to name-calling. Kerry must be losing.

Speaking of losers, god did Anaheim suck. Kudos to your beloved Sox*

At least I'm not yelling. Then you'd know I was toast.
