(4,739 posts)Republicans love to play fast and loose when it comes to elections. Just ask Al Gore about Repuke dirty tricks on election day. Why would it be different in a caucus? Do I think what is going on in Maine is wrong? Yes. And, I think the powers that be want RMoney so badly that they are willing to rig this caucus to do it. Not sure what the laws are up in Maine about this, but as I understand it, this caucus is carried out fully within the party's mechanism. To Repuke voters in Maine: you want to throw in your lot with pigs, don't gripe when they crap on you.

This, and the Gore/Bush election campaign was no fluke. They've been doing this shit for years.
