And what about the lines of people waiting to vote in predominantly 
democratic districts of red states whose ability to vote was negated by 
what can only be called electoral sabotage?

Didn't happen, right?  Right...

There were so many voting irregularities in the last election that if we 
were a third-world country being monitored, the election would have been 
heavily contested and labeled as fraudulant by all Western Nations... 
but since we're the "last world superpower", our leaders get away with 
what other countries get lambasted for.

Truth be told, more people hate the current republican party than like 
it.  If everyone who could have voted would have voted, it would be a 
landslide victory for the left.  This is especially true if people were 
to vote along ideological lines rather than party lines.  Many people 
(stupidly) voted for Bush because they thought he'd better represent the 
interests of the common man... in other words, they voted red when they 
should have been voting blue.

Because in this case you have a party that is wilfully and intentfully 
trying to destroy democracy in this country.  If it were just that we 
didn't agree, well then we could talk.  But through the neo-conservative 
movement you have an attempt at a corporate neo-fascist takeover of the 
country.

Why should we demonize these people?  We didn't -- they're just about as 
close to demons as you can get in reality.  Their own actions have 
demonized them.
