About that political post

[jhetley]

Well, after a second cup of coffee, I've decided to post some of this anyway.  Making Light has a bit this morning about police departments preparing for Civil Unrest after the election, with a subtext that only massive fraud can prevent an Obama victory.

Sorry, but I think that stinks.

See, if you question the integrity of the process, you cast doubt on an Obama victory as well as on a loss.  If the Republicans can rig an election, so can the Democrats.  I grew up in Cook County, Illinois, home of Mayor Daley (Elder or Younger).  Democratic Party fraud sort of defined the process, there.  Not sure whether it still does.  But the lesson lives on -- Democrats can be just as sleazy as Republicans.

Another problem with getting old, Kent State happened under Nixon. A lot of other stuff happened under Johnson, "shoot-ins" and such. It's the thought that counts . . .
