Hmm. Hank....

Hank. Hank Chinaski! You're the Republican, correct? I knew it!

Suffice to say that you're the North Star of this board, Hank. Thanks for providing us with your unwavering light.

Minorities are still allowed to vote?

Up to the point the Republicans pass the "Voting Rights and Freedom for All True American Patriotic Families Who Support Our Troops" Act.

MoveOn people stood NEXT to the booths to HELP people figure out the ballots. My partner asked the guy in charge if that wasn't, you know, wrong- but they were allowed to continue.

Thanks for the providing such a comprehensive study to support your sweeping conclusions.

You think we need to start standing there at the booths telling them how to vote?

Ummm sorry Sidd- You need to be tall enough to see over the average voter's shoulders to work the poll. Maybe you'd like to hand out info in the parking lot?

I am ashamed of those votes, Hank. I'm sure many of those folks went down to the polling place to vote for Bush, and were tricked by MoveOn.

I'm not saying it was right, but come on. That's a different order of magnitude of problem from what Hitchens describes. And it's a problem of enforcing the laws as written.

If he had to ask, why was he poll-watching?

You use this story from your partner to support the conclusion that "Ty raises issues to try and make the Reps feel ashamed of 10000 or so votes, you guys should be ashamed of almost all yours"???

And you throw a hissy-fit when someone suggests that maybe Darwin coulda been onto something?

I'm sure most of them would have voted for JFK w/o the help. and most of the ones who would have voted for W w/o the help might have been a mistake, but it doesn't strike you as somewhat Saddamish that you put people to watch how poor black people voted so you could help them vote "right?"

point is there will be machine involved in 2008, and across the country there will be mistake- I assume those mistakes were unintentional- the above was intentional. yes you should be bothered that the party of protecting the people does this- or maybe I made it up/
