voter protection

Republicans don't take democracy seriously

As my friend says about Republicans: "Losers and lamers. HINT: if you can only win with BS tactics, maybe your politics SUCK!"

I may be using that line alot in the near future.

Here's one example of right wing disdain for democracy. This comes from Firedoglake:

Laura Ingraham has asked her listeners to call the Dem Voter protection hotline â€” and they are now being flooded with calls from crank callers. Please call Laura and tell her what you think about this: 800.876.4123. You can e-mail her here. Apparently, voter intimidation and fraud are a joke to Laura Ingraham. Let's let her know that it is no joke.

More on Laura Ingraham: "caller indicated she is running a tape of Bill Clinton over and over saying "call 1-888 Dem Vote to report problems" â€” and then making fun of him, thus producing a spike in crank calls to the number" Protecting voter integrity is no joke. And I am not laughing. If anyone has audio of this, I'd love it.

DNC has released an audio of it here.

I really do urge people to call 800.876.4123 and tell them voter integrity is no joke and that Laura Ingrahm is un-American for denegrating democracy. Let them know what you think. In fact call them and let tell them my friend's comment just for good measure.

Words to live by

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.
