The Gore/Daley "screw the Military vote" attempt of 2000 is reaping the seeds of hell to pay for attempting to tell the military to go to hell.
Daschle, Gephardt, etc., don't have a clue about what is happening across the broad-band broad lands of this great country.
Their little excursions to visit their herds of Lilliputians are a farce...

"We're working on postal issues as well," Brunelli said. Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz signed a memo to the military postal service to ensure that all voting materials are postmarked and cancelled for all deployed vessels and personnel. Further, military postal service employees will look for voting materials to ensure they are moved expeditiously. This is the end result of the Gore team trying to throw out military ballots. From now on, the military will keep a closer eye on their votes, making sure they reach their intended destination, counted, and such. Democrats wont get a second chance to throw out military ballots ever again.

Let us remember two important facts:
1. In 2000, columnist Robert Novak witnessed (and wrote about) lawyers for Al Gore and Joe Liberman "pumping their fists" and giving out high-fives everytime they were successful in getting a U.S. military vote thrown out on a technicality.
2. Democrats, to include Hillary Rodham Clinton, Tom Daschle, and James Carville are not stupid. They study democraphics and voting trends. They know that military voters lean heavily Republican. That is why they worked so hard to disenfranchise military voters in 2000.
In short, Democrats would rather felons and illegal aliens have the right to vote in America than the nation's fighting men and women.
That is not bluster, that is not exaggeration. As the line in the movie Babe said: "That is just the way things are."

I'm all for absentee voting when there truly are circumstances when a voter can't get to the polls on Election Day.
I am not for absentee voting to make it easier for people to vote.
I think that it is not asking too much of a citizen to get off his/her butt once a year to exercise their Constitutional right to vote.
I also think that there are two opposing forces at work:
- After the fiasco in Florida in 2000, many states put lots of money into improving the voting technology to make voting at the polls modernized, more accurate, and easy to understand in an attempt to prevent a repeat of the election mess that happened.
- At the same time, the states are making it easier to stay home and vote absentee.
Where's the sense in that?

It's great to see that our military men and women matter to this administration.
