Yeah, like the dead democrats (they get their names off of headstones) and
the minorities (most al illegal aliens) they bus around town to many
different polling places (they pay 'em to do this) so they can vote and vote
often. When you subtract the duplicate votes plus the dead voters you have
subtracted the difference in votes in many of the states that went democrat
in the last general election. another thing that gets me is the democrats
complaining about stacking the Supreme Court. They only complain about it
when the WINNING party (Republicans) do it. When they did it under Kennedy,
Johnson and Clinton, they didn't raise the issue because they were the ones
doing it. If hey want to have a chance to do it again, they might try
something new. It's called winning. Don't see that anytime soon.
