This list might be helpful to any Republicans or others who are planning to have their usual pre-election snit of: "that republican doesn't agree with me on every single issue, so I'm staying home". We have way too much to lose this time, so don't do it. You know who you are. This also applies to certain people on the radio who tell people to stay home and not vote. Either your for us or you support the demacrats.

The probable nullification of absentee ballots in Maryland.

TIME magazine:

Saturday, Oct. 28, 2000
The music is ominous, the footage grainy: a pickup truck with Texas plates, a chain tied to the bumper, something unseen hooked to the other end as the truck pulls away. The voice is that of James Byrd Jr.'s daughter, recalling her father's 1998 death and George W. Bush's refusal to back a new hate-crimes bill. The kicker: "We won't be dragged away from our future."

The Byrd ad, running in 10 states where black voter turnout could make the difference, is part of a $2 million–plus campaign by the NAACP National Voter Fund. The group said it had always planned to replace the ad with a less graphic version. But Heather Booth, the group's executive director, makes no apologies. "Sometimes the truth hurts," she says.  [snip]

Each time a madman does a shooting, and the politically opportunistic Dimocrats gleefully dance on the graves of the victims, while the T.V. cameras roll!

[You Dirty Rats]

The character assassination of Clarence Thomas.

[Cincinatus]

There are so many, it's hard to know where to start. How about the (in)famous Bill Moyers 1964 nuclear mushroom cloud-little girl daisy picking commercial used against the Goldwater campaign? How about their continuous demonization of Newt Gingrich, including some of the most breathtaking lies ever uttered ("He's going to 'cut' Medicare!"), after he'd been elected Speaker?

But the most sickening of all stunts to actually watch has to be their endless defense of Clinton before, during, and after impeachment. Actually stomach-churning, that.

[RabidBartender]

The bought-and-paid-for judge in Saint Louis who kept the polls open late so Mrs. Carnahan could be appointed. Democrats, without cheating, would quickly fade into nothingness.

[cincinnati65]

I don't think you can look to the past on this one. I think you will see a new level of Democratic lows in this election, including no fewer than 7 elections that will end up going before a Supreme Court somewhere. NJ and MN Senatorial are locks for this already, and I think Arkansas is a safe bet as well.

All this despite the most liberal interpretation (and outright disregard) of the existing laws, slanted to provide the most favorable Democratic advantage.

This election will be the sleaziest, most crooked, most underhanded election we have ever seen.

[Freemyland]

Two words: Bill Clinton.

[Piquaboy]

The lowest thing they ever did was nominate Bill and Hillary Clinton for the presidency.

[dirtboy]

2nd worst - the beating of protestor Don Adams by Teamster goons in Philly.

Worst - the subsequent politically-motivated prosecution of Don Adams by Dem DA Lynn Abraham for allegedly assaulting the fists of Teamster with his face. We are not that far from Soviet-style show trials when the Dems can pull such a stunt without sanction - although the judge quickly threw the case out of court, Abraham still has her job.

[Budge]

One of the so many to choose from was the booing and spiting on the Boy Scouts Honor Guard as they brought the flag in.

Help me here, wasn't that at a Repubblican Convention last election?

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

The lowest ofthe low is Trent Lott flying half way across the country for a "memorial service" and getting booed.

I believe there is no lower.

[Timberside]

But they did for the children!

[Mamzelle]

Gosh, what an embarrassment of riches! Remember when Clinton used to turn Secret Service goons loose on people who asked him uncomfortable questions at the Town Hall meetings, early in his admin? How about getting the IRS to hassle the Heritage Foundation?

How about pushing walls down on children with military tanks, using gas on those children which was outlawed by the Geneva convention, all to "protect them from a child abuser who might be an icky fundamentalist Christian"

While we are outraged, we might take a moment to be rationally frightened. What will creatures like this do if they're in power again? The goalposts lower every year. We're just a few SC justices away from the death of the Constitution.

[tacticalogic]

Spitting on the police color guard at the Dem rally in NY has to be on that list.

[bandleader]

Here's one for you though the"perp"isn't a politico,but he is DEFINITELY A RAT!Jimmy Breslin's column slamming"W" for not"taking a walk"around where those two murdering A**HOLES were performing their deviltry!!!

[ErnBatavia]

Bubba's Recess appointments

[kidd]

Roughly in order:

- Clinton's giving away nuclear secrets to gain campaign financing from China
- Hanoi Jane pretending to shoot down US aircraft on a visit to North Vietnam
- The general protection of Clinton during impeachment
- "Wag the dog" efforts by Clinton during impeachment
- The Jeffords switch
- James Byrd ad
- Hanging and pregnant chads as legitimate votes
- Blaming Bush for 9/11
- Nearly every election held in Chicago
- Bonier denouncing Bush's efforts on Iraqi from Bagdad
- the Wellstone "memorial"
- Blaming the Wellstone children for the Wellstone "memorial"
- Al Gore acceptance of contributions from Buddist monks
- Holding up the nomination of Federal Judges because of their political affiliation
- The Toricelli-Lautenberg switchero
- Gray Davis' passage of recent destructive legislation to secure liberal votes
- Hillary becoming a Yankee "fan" and subsequently a New York senator

Note that most of these are recent. A sign that the dirty tricks are getting worse

[alnick]

I'm going with a classic. Since Al Gore is responsible for yanking me out of my apolitical state and turning me into a broken-glass republican, I nominate his 2000 post-election I-lost-so-I'm-going-to-insist-that-the-rules-be-changed-to-make-me-president-anyway stunt, and the insistence of the 'rats ever since then to claim that somehow it was Bush who tried to cheat, despite every single recount confirming Bush's win.

Also, the sheer gall of the democrats to complain that the Republicans didn't want to count every vote while simultaneously the 'rats were throwing out the military votes as well as pretending that counting disqualified ballots in four 'rat counties while ignoring disqualified ballots in 63 Republican counties somehow constituted a full, fair, and accurate count of the votes.

Rick Kahn's request of the Republicans is a great example of the democrat attitude about elections. The Republicans have a duty to step aside and allow the democrats to "win" elections because it's the right thing to do.

[gridlock]

So many to choose from:

Jean Carnahan trashing John Ashcroft in the Senate during his confirmation process.

The Borking of Robert Bork.

The Torricelli/Lautenberg switch.

Hillary! smooching with Suha Arafat after she accused the IDF of gassing Pali babies.

Hillary!'s eye-rolling and cheek-puffing during GWB's post-911 address to a Joint Session of Congress.

But....

I gotta go with the Florida Fiasco. After that, they can get no lower.
