RNC

I was cruising around the other progressive blogs and sites today, and ThinkProgress.org has a interesting link to a article by Salon.com. It addresses the attempts by certain groups in our society to inhibit voting. Voter Surpression is not new to the United States. However what is new is that after all these years as a functioning republic, it is still allowed to stand.

North Carolina is not on the list. It is compromised of Arizona, Missouri, Indiana, California, Ohio, and of course Florida.

In response to this threat to democracy, our beloved DNC Chair Howard Dean hits the nail on the head in reference to these Conservatives without a conscience:

For Republicans, nothing is more important than their partisan interests, not even the American people's most cherished right to vote and have that vote counted.

Rightwing government haters would like to privatize everything from schools and highways to wars and elections. And much to my surprise, I'm finally coming around to agreeing with them. In fact, I hope they'll go so far as to privatize international diplomacy. It's hard to imagine any organization doing a worse job than the Republicans currently running this country. The truth is, they somehow manage to piss off the rest of the world everytime they open their lyin' mouths.

Is Liddy failing in her job to get Republicans reelected? Many of the Republicans seem to think so…And the numbers seem to prove it.

From the article…

    The latest filing, on Thursday, showed Democrats with $37.7 million on hand, compared with $19.9 million for Republicans.

    Some Republicans say Elizabeth Dole is faltering as leader of the Republican effort to hold the Senate this fall.

Over at the Cabarrus County GOP website, they take pride in reminding themselves why they are Republicans. Call me a wacko, but when I read their principles and try to align their governing practices, I have to conclude that they're all flat-out crazy.
