Oxymoron - political ethics

In the news this morning...

"A Pennsylvania court struck Ralph Nader's name from the state's ballot yesterday, declaring that nearly two-thirds of the signatures on his nominating petitions were invalid or had been forged in what the court called an unparalleled case of election fraud.

The decision, if upheld, could significantly change the equation in Pennsylvania, a swing state with 21 electoral votes. Polls show President Bush and Senator John Kerry in a dead heat, with Mr. Nader attracting about 3 percent of the electorate there. Republicans were helping him in the hope he would take votes from Mr. Kerry.. Democrats had led the challenge to the Nader signatures."

Are you surprised? And Pennsylvania is not the only state where Republicans have been engaged in this kind of activity. It just happens to be a state where someone was willing to do something about it.

I don't know about you, but just being around people like that would make me want to take more showers. How do they justify their actions?

  1. Hate conservatives? No. I feel sorry for them, but I never hate them.
