I respectfully disagree.

There are times to fight fire with fire, but this is not one of them.

One of the most important things about our freedom to vote is the knowledge that our votes matter. If we participate in fraud, we undermine that just as much as the Democrats do. Our goal should be an honest vote. Without an honest vote, we forfeit our Republic.

To: generally
Keep in mind that direct representation was almost non-existent in this country when it was founded. The idea that every idiot who can breathe on a mirror -- and even many that can't -- should participate in the election of leaders in a free nation would have been completely alien to this country's founders.

We reap what we sowed when we changed all those standards of governance ... so maybe we really have no complaint when malcontents and misfits hijack the process.
