Jail them all
Oct. 15th, 2004 09:42 amAccording to the New York Times and other news groups, the GOP is engaged in out and out voter disenfranchisement. Their excuse seems to be that Democrats do it, too.
So let's set the record straight: Anyone, Dem, Repub, Green, Libertarian, Indie, ANYONE who mucks about with voter registrations or prevents anyone else from getting people to register to vote deserves to go to jail.
As much as I really don't want GWB to be President again, it's absolutely more important to me that every American eligible to vote gets the opportunity to vote. Yeah, I know we live in a Republic, but that Republic is based on certain Democratic principles; namely, one person, one vote. Anyone who sabotages that (by tearing up registration forms of people who register for the opposing party, or by calling registered voters and falsely telling them they're not eligible, or by putting up road blocks to make it hard to get to polling stations, or by standing around polling places asking for people's IDs, or any bloody thing else your sick and twisted minds come up with) should be put in jail cell to rot. This is treason of the basest sort!
