More on the New Taliban (Democrats)
Written by Political Commentator DHB....
" For all the Democratic Party's talk about how the evil Republicans tried to suppress voters during the last Presidential election by actually questioning whether felons and aliens could vote, I am aware of only one systematic, large-scale incident of voter suppression. It was done by the Democratic Party, and it was successful in suppressing thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of voters. This was the well planned and executed campaign to mount legal challenges to keep Ralph Nader off the ballot. The Democrats feared Nader, not because he was philosphically too different but because he was too similar to John Kerry and might thereby dilute the Kerry vote. The Democratic Party hired hundreds of lawyers to file suits in every state, challenging Nader's presence on the ballot in every possible way. The challenges were successful in many states, including Arizona, where one of the Presidential debates was held. During the debate, which was conducted at ASU, Kerry snidely alluded to the unfounded allegations about voter suppression by Republicans. I kept waiting for someone to ask why Ralph Nader was not up there on the stage, especially since it was a college campus where you would expect to find some Nader supporters. No one asked, and Bush was too clumsy to mention it."
