3. Send to those who refuse to consider elections in US could be stolen:
Funny and sad commentary on ethics.
And gee, no DEMS were even close enough
to this SNAFU to allow the GOP to insist:
1)everybody does it ! DEMS did it too!
2)just more Democratic partisan political attacks!
3)Liberal Media is to blame!

5. These corrupt assholes can't even run
an honest election to determine who their House leader will be? Not surprising, but beyond pathetic.
