2. There is a nasty portion of our population who trade in that hatred

They are heavily represented in the older-voter part of the electorate, and they are trouble. Fortunately, the millenials who are "replacing" them are fairer.

3. Why would he even do that?

I bet a lot of people in the military vote Dem - it's not a homogeneous Republican voting block.

6. Any mention of Tim Griffin's alleged involvement with voter caging military votes?

Edited on Mon Nov-01-10 05:41 PM by Brother Buzz

The same Tim Griffin that was named U.S. Attorney in 2006 despite the allegations, and is now running for US Congress on the republican ticket in Arkansas (2nd District)? I thought not.

8. Isn't there a law about the number of lies you can tell in one election cycle?

If not - it's time to make one ;)
