MM, I was angered by Ashcroft's principled stand addressing that cynical Missouri Senate ploy ... but he stood up and said "Missouri lost a beloved friend and political servant, and Mrs. Carnahan lost her husband, partner, best friend, and her first borne son. I'm not going to put my state through this. I won't continue my campaign, I won't appeal voter fraud, I won't appeal Constitutional violations that enabled a dead man to be elected Senator."

I saw his statement. That was righteous, he made a decison as a minister, a Missouran and a MAN!

He had no idea he'd be the AG ... at that time Bush wasn't even the Prez. He did the right thing for a grieving wife and mother. George W Bush found his honest and trustworthy AG that day. Folks here who smear Ashcroft as some conspiratorial fascist will never escape my aggressive challenge. Ashcroft is honest as the day is long.

So, what did Jean Carnahan do after Ashcroft demonstrated such kindness, compassion and integrity? She voted against him, three months later, to be Attorney General.

How empty, how corrupt and cynical does an individual like Jean Carnahan need to be to cast that vote against John Ashcroft?

MM, Democrats are not just our political adversaries, they are our mortal enemies. Pure and simple. We don't share a common set of objectives and mores with 40% of our neighbors.

Anyone on FR who sees no difference between Dems and Pubbies can no longer be humored. The ongoing lie ain't making it anymore. The Jersey RATS laid it out naked and straight. They'll do anything to win.

As Freepers, we need to organize and defeat this assault. "Hi, I'm ArneFufkin, I'm your voting chaperone! Everyone from the bus, single file through the registration line!" LOL. We need to be standing around in urban precincts. We need to break up voter fraud.
