The GOP's dirty deeds of 2006 http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2006/11/21/cheat_sheet/ MD: republicans claim they have the support of prominent African Americans, and truck in Philadelphia homeless men (paid 3 meals and $100) to distribute the flyers. VA: legally allows voter registration in more than one place. Phone calls were made to those people with double registrations, threatening arrest if they voted. The FBI is investigating. IL: National Republican Congressional Committee mailed deceptive announcements, appearing to be from the SS Administration, claiming that democrat Tammy Duckworth wanted to extend benefits to illegal aliens. She lost by <5000 votes. CA: republican candidate is behind letters to democrats with Hispanic last names, threatening jail time or deportation if they voted. The AG office is investigating. Across the country: a million robocalls, paid for by the NRCC, annoying people up to 7 times, deceptively seeming to come from democrats. Sen. Obama has introduced a bill to make the practice illegal. PA: republicans connected to the NRCC, pretending to be progressive dems, attacked Casey (who beat Santorum) from the left (he is anti-abortion, pro-gun, and pro-death penalty). They also entirely financially funded the Green Party candidate. NY, NM, Va: democrats were told their polling places were changed. In NM, one call was traced to the local republican party, but democrats were unsuccessful in getting the calls stopped. AZ: 3 anti-immigration activists carrying a clipboard, video camera, and a gun intimidated voters in a "bellwether Hispanic district". Included in the article, not a repub. dirty trick, nor particularly significant: TN: Harold Ford's father passed out sample ballots with his son Jake as the democratic candidate (for the seat Harold was vacating) when he was really running as an independent. -- Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that numbers of people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. . . Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That's our problem. - Howard Zinn

Oh Stop! You can list at least as many Democrat dirty deeds. They have no more claim to honesty. When has there ever been an honest election. I'll bet the dead are still voting in Chicago as much as they did 40 years ago. Look at our own state government for sleazy Democrats. I just LOVE those idiots that point out the evils of the "other party" while ignoring the ones in their own. "But my party is good so I forgive them. Besides they stand for good government and dishonesty is OK as long as its for a 'good' cause".
