A dishonest person is a dishonest person, and there are plenty of those in both parties. Voter fraud and voter irregularity stuff is blown out of proportion on both sides (although in cases where minorities are targeted I tend to find it to be a bigger deal because of how long voting rights were simply unavailable to blacks and other groups).
I am not saying it doesn't happen, but both parties do kind of blow it out of proportion. I was pretty offended when I learned that Bush was abusing the U.S. attorney's office by encouraging them to pursue even frivolous voter fraud case (for instance, one woman admitted to a government official on purpose that she accidentally voted even though she was a convict. They fucking persecuted her for being honest!)
I guess I mean the party's basic philosophy and how they react to situations. The Democratic base certainly has their knee-jerk reactions too, such as when people say global warming is a hoax, and can be overly sensitive to certain racial and gender issues. But at the end of the day I find the Republican base's actions to be far more offensive. The Religious Right and the "Southern Man" type Republicans genuinely offend me more often than they should. I can't stand the Religious Right, and I am a Christian!
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
