I look at it as an ideological purity issue. I'm a Republican because we actually believe the things we say.

Democrats will say anything to stay in power. Exhibit A is the Clinton impeachment debacle. Exhibit B is the count every vote for Al in Democrat majority counties only.

I will sooner vote for the devil himself than a Democrat. At least with the devil you know what you're getting. Of Course I've always thought Tommie Daschle looks an awful lot like Mephistopholes.

While Democrats are certainly corrupt, I'll have to think about it for a while before I condemn them as evil. I'll provisionally tag them as criminally negligent in the meantime.

I just came from an Arkansas FReeper meeting and we are up against an immovable obstacle here that centers on the voting process itelf. I'm sure that it comes as no great surprise that the Clinton signature lingers like a bad odor around all political activity in the state of Arkansas, but we had a speaker today who is not a FReeper but does attend our meetings pretty regularly and is very active in the Republican party here. Some of what she revealed almost makes Miami-Dade look competent and honest. For example, much like the latest primary debacle in Florida, there are entire precincts who are claiming no Republican votes cast when a significant numbers of voters in those areas are known to have cast republican votes there and have disputed the claims but are summarily dismissed. The lady who spoke also showed us cards that she has received in the mail year after year for a man and his entire family, 5 in all, showing them registered to vote. The man has been deceased for quite some time and is no relation to the woman. She has tried to make it known and get these people dropped from their mailing lists but to no avail. Oh, did I mention that they all vote Democrat?

Another appalling thing that seems to be prevalent here is that there are no Republicans being selected as poll workers although they are supposed to be represented, but the Republicans are being selectively excluded so the Democrats are on their own with the ballot boxes. I'm sure you can fill in probable case scenarios. Anyway, this is the kind of corruption we are up against here, and more importantly what our candidates are up against. The Hutchinson/Pryor race is one of the key senate races coming up in November and we already know the Rats will do anything to get and keep power.

Sharon, our speaker, did pass around some information on Arkansas guidelines for becoming poll watchers and some of us are considering trying to do this. Two of our Arkansas FReepers are registered democrats, but with ulterior motives. This is a good thing with the poll watching because the Rats get to have two for our one. I don't know how far we will actually get with this, but it seems as good a place to start as any. I am convinced that these people are corrupt to the core and I wonder if there is any hope for legitimacy in our elections. How do you fight people like this? Exposing them doesn't work. They thumb their noses at laws. You can't question them because they answer only the questions they have given you. You can't challenge them with facts because they are deaf to them. I am personally very disheartened by the blatant abuses and I believe that it is only by the grace of God that we will be able to make an impact. Jim, maybe you could offer some suggestions.

Oh, yeah, I have lots of thoughts about it.

#1 is that Democrats are NOT evil.

I ain't one, but my Daddy was and my Mama is.
