The Great Disenfranchiser?
Republicans in Urbana are up in arms over the legal fight for voters in the upcoming Mayoral primary. The self-proclaimed Moral Compasses of our community are now encouraging Republican voters to commit election fraud on February 22, by voting in the Democrat's primary. This is acceptable if the voter in question has not committed themselves to the Republican party, but is technically against the law if they are registered Republican.
What's next for our conservative brothers and sisters? Advocating civil disobedience to re-instate the death penalty? Staging sit-ins and bus boycotts in favor of the guards over at the Champaign County Jail? We're through the looking glass here, people! What's interesting here is the conservative portrayal of the Democrats who are trying to enforce the election laws as Great Disenfranchisers. You know the story, we want poor people to vote, etc. but we don't want Republicans voting in Democratic primaries, therefore we are showing our true colors - those of Hate and Discrimination against the ever-oppressed Illinois Republah, blah, blah. Well, as the old saying goes, everything that comes around goes around. Lest we forget: The Farce in Florida - circa 2000. The Army for Arnold - circa 2003. The Omissions in Ohio - circa 2004. And, of course, the Scandal in Seattle - circa now.

Thanks for the link. Good luck with your new blog spot!
Thanks for the link. Prussing is dispicable. But thanks for the link. :-)
I couldn't agree more, Foleyma. From now on, new editions of the dictionary should have the GOP elephant symbol next to the entry for 'hypocrite.' That should explain the word quite nicely.
Take care.
I shouldn't have said Prussing is despicable. I should have said that her actions in this instance are. Attack the sin, not the sinner, and all that. My apologies.
Its funny hearing Democrats call the Republicans hypocrites considering that a Democrat can't get elected without receiving votes from convicted felons, the dead, illegal immigrants, and repeat voters.
I'm sure you don't mean every Democrat. Just as I know there are some Republicans who are not simple-minded, flag-waving, liberal-hating yahoos, it seems obvious that not all Democrats are, uh, elected by "the dead".
Hmmm ...
Well, it looks like Ms. Prussing won her election. Do you think that Satterthwaite will throw a hissy fit and refuse to concede and support Laurel like she did when she lost her primary for congress?
It doesn't look like it, though his "we wanted to run a positive campaign" comment is a pretty trite thing to say.
Politics.
