>>>Republican Party officials in Ohio took formal steps yesterday to place thousands of recruits inside polling places on Election Day to challenge the qualifications of voters they suspect are not eligible to cast ballots.<<<

Ain't that kindness!!!

Some GOPwingers might argue that the Democrats put up a challenge to Nader's being on ballots and perhaps this justifies intensive GOPwinger challenges to a simple citizen's right to vote.

No way!!!

There's a big difference. A very big difference!

Way too many Republicans aided Nader's bid to get his neccessary signatures for ballot access, thus making it appropriate for Democrats to put forward challenges against Nader. Should Republicans use straw tactics in order to win an election? Most states do not allow straw candidates in elections and Nader, unwittingly, became one for the Republicans.

Conclusion? GOPwinger hardheaded opereratives are resorting stinkified, slimeballic and misplaced dirty and lowdown, yes, unAmerican, efforts to win reelection for Bush-Cheney. And howz' about the irony of GOPwingers relying so heavily on a strong evangelical Christian, some would say near trance-like base, as the primary voting block. Talk about 'stolen honor,' misplaced and confused values? If the Christian voting block only knew what's really happening, I submit they'd vote differently.

On a side note, I've supported Nader several times in elections past. However, it's my view that once Nader realized he was drawing strong assistance from GOPwingers in order to gain ballot access, Nader should have withdrawn his candidacy and endorsed the anti-Bush candidate, John Kerry.

I'm definitely voting for Kerry in this election, even in Massachusetts where he's sure to win. In this particular election, there is no symbolic protest vote for me. It's too crucial for people everywhere that Bush be resoundingly defeated.

Indeed, I want Kerry's popular vote total to far surpass the Bush tally, especially given that GOPwingers are today challenging a citizen's right to vote, and the Democrats are doing their level best to get people to vote.
