"Dad, am I a Democrat or a Republican?" -- Billy, Age 9
"That's an interesting question. The short answer is that you are neither, at least yet. But since you asked, there are a number of things you need to look for before deciding if you are one or the other or something else. You see, Billy, most Democrats think Americans are dumb and can't be trusted to run their own lives. Most Republicans don't have a low opinion of people, but they try to run everybody's lives anyway. The difference is usually in how they spend your money. Both parties will spend everything they can. The political parties that won't spend your money are not in power. I wouldn't be in a hurry to line up with either side if I were you. Billy, there's a lot that will change before you have to decide anything about that. In the meantime learn all you can about it. The most important thing to remember is that you are in charge of your life, and not some politician in DC."
There's so much more I wanted to tell Billy. But we arrived at home, and other necessary routines put the question aside for a day. This morning he asked if we could get the police to stop the politicians from spending all the money. That's Billy. He asks a lot of good questions. I explained how our representative democracy works. Then he asked about voting. I said "You'll like voting", and I answered his questions until we got to the day care center. Billy is an optimist. The kind of kid who could grow up and lead a political party. You heard it here first.

So you didn't vote for the Murder Monkey either? I'm beginning to believe that NO ONE DID.
I guess if you steal one election, it's a small matter to steal two.
Murder Monkey? Hmmm....MM...That sounds like code for Michael Moore. Actually, fifty million plus people did vote for that POS. He along with that other MM (Mass Media) almost got er done.
Ideas like theirs will continue to get fewer and fewer votes, so stealing is the only way for them to get back to where they want to be.
I hope by the time Billy gets to vote, a useful alternative to just the Republicans will emerge. Not holding my breath, though.
It seems anonymous is still caught up in the Democratic Big Lie that those evil ol'Republicans stole the elections. Makes a pretty good salve for your ego, much better than realizing that you are part of a morally, spiritually, and intellectually bankrupt party.
If you examine the Florida election results for Palm Beach County carefully, you will definitely see signs of election fraud though, but it was perpetrated by the Democrats, not the Republicans. The number of ballots which voted for a majority Republican ticket or a total straight party line Republican ticket, that also had overvotes for both Bush and Gore is significantly higher than it should be. Unless you want to believe the fiction that someone voting for Republicans couldn't make their minds up between Gore and Bush, a Democrat and a Republican, there is only one explanation. Democratic election fraud on the punchcard ballots, using a technique perfected by the Daley machine in Chicago. You take a nail or pin, and punch stacks of ballots in the Democratic candidates position while you are stacking and sorting them for counting and transport. This does two things, if the ballot is for the Democrat, it makes sure there are no hanging chads, and if it was for the Republican, it makes it an overvote, negating that vote.
Even a casual review of elections over the past 20 years indicates that evidence of Democratic voter fraud dwarfs evidence of Republican antics. Which is why, as per Goebbels, the "Big Lie" of Bush stole the election is so loudly proclaimed by Democrats, it helps keep peoples attention off the real vote thieves.
