A question to those who believe debate is "frivolous"
The Republicans in the House keep citing Republican voter suppression as a retort to our request to reform election fraud and voter suppression. They keep mentioning slashed tires and the Democratic "ACORN" group registering more than once and registering dead people. To that, I say, "Clearly you agree that the system is flawed, since you cite evidence of fraud. Are you actually saying that because you won, that voter fraud is a moot point and there should be no election reform?"

Tell me, is that what you guys are saying? That the ends justify the means? That a win negates any need for fair elections ON BOTH SIDES? Do you believe that?

1. I don't believe Republicans are saying that
there should be no further voting reform.

I think this whole exercise has been an exercise in confusion. there was the utter insinuation that there was election fraud and yet at the same time it was really about voting rights.

Now, how do you separate the two??????? Disenfranchising voters IS Election Fraud, in my opinion.

4. And note
That all the republican naysayers on here calling us sore losers have NOT answered to this thread. Clearly they have no answer to a rational question. Which confirms my suspicion that they do believe that a win negates the need for fair elections.

6. You ask "Do Repubs believe the ends justify the means?"
Of course! Look no further than Repub Rossi's two-faced attitude to election fraud here in WA State. When he was ahead in the official count, it was a clean election, and now that he's lost it's a corrupt system.

7. And still, no answer
Where are all you Freepers? Can't answer a question? Can you only insult and write "Boo-Hoo" and not back up your objections with rational thought? Not ONE has given me a well thought out response.
