Stolen election? Give me a break.

There is nothing immoral, illegal or unethical about Huckabee winning West Virginia. This is pure politics.

Sour Grapes.

I never said that what McCain’s people did was illegal. What I said was, it smells to high heaven.

Great grandma makes an excellent point. Whenever you do something that you have to lie about afterward, you probably shouldn’t have done it in the first place.

I still remember the first time I was offered a “bribe.” It wasn’t phrased as a bribe. The “donor” simply said that he would make a $30,000 “gift” to a charity I was associated with. Only he would do it in cash. He was counting on me to pocket the cash, and then he’d “own” me, as Huey Long did in “All the King’s Men.” As soon as I replied that I’d report the contribution in cash, the subject was dropped and no “donation” was ever made.

Lord knows, I haven’t always followed it, but my parents gave me the same advice that Great Grandma is obviously passing down in her family. Don’t do things you’d be ashamed to ‘fess up to, after the fact. McCain and Huckabee both got rightfully tarnished by this affair.
