In reply to the discussion: Please Remember. Republicans Steal Elections. [View all]VOX
(22,976 posts)99. Great post. Also include the 1972 break-in and wiretapping of the DNC HQ at the Watergate Hotel...
in Washington, D.C. Mercifully, these crimes ultimately resulted in Richard Nixon's resignation, and jail stretches for several high-level conspirators.
But this sorry and cautionary chapter of American history was brought about by the same Republican hubris and prevailing attitude of "it's not illegal if we do it" that are on display today. Too many of these people are zealous enough to actually delude themselves into believing that they're doing right.
The leopard cannot change its spots, and I wouldn't trust ANY gung-ho Republican to be honest come election time (or any other time).

Last time, the GOPers just said, "Well, I guess the exit polls were wrong for a change."

We need to win by a very big, shaming majority and we need Eric Holder now.
