Really? Proof of Democratic efforts to suppress Republican voters.

You won't find it, this is the moral equivalency BS that the GOP defenders trot out to deflect criticism about corruption.

Happens every single time, "but, but the D's do it too!!!"

No, that's flat out wrong.

See my post above yours. Nowhere did I say it was "OK", I'm just saying both sides engage in this kind of stuff trying to get an edge, and I agree with Rainsford: if there were harsh penalties (think 10 years in jail) associated with this kind of stuff it would not happen.

Riiight...

In Pennsylvania, e-mails appeared linking Democrat Barack Obama to the Holocaust. "Jewish Americans cannot afford to make the wrong decision on Tuesday, Nov. 4," said the electronic message, paid for by an entity calling itself the Republican Federal Committee. "Many of our ancestors ignored the warning signs in the 1930s and 1940s and made a tragic mistake."
Remember the Grandpa Bush Nazi "scandals" that came up the last two elections?

I heard Ted Stevens has some data on that.
So democrats are plastering corporate offices across the country with fliers that say "IRS agents will be at election sites to conduct audits to see if you are earning more than 250K"? :D

Prescott Bush was a director of a bank seized by the federal government because of its ties to a German industrialist who helped bankroll Adolf Hitler's rise to power.

What does that have to do with this?

Nothing.

Lemme know when and if D's are robocalling people telling them to vote on Wednesday.

So how is that any different than the email I quoted? Both are specious connections intended to change voters minds.

Lemme know when and if D's are robocalling people telling them to vote on Wednesday.
And lemme know when D's introduce that long awaited election reform bill in Congress. And let me know when they release the corrupt strangehold they have on Illinois and Chicago. Let me know when they stop using unions and ACORN as a proxy extension for the "vote mobilization" machine.

Different tactics for the same goal.

"It's a lie".

No it isn't. If it's a lie, prove it wrong. No more a lie than "John McCain will continue GWB's policies".

:roll:

Fine, play childish semantics games instead of addressing the point. To be more precise, it is base fear-mongering, unsupported by anything factual, versus the actual truth. That said, that fact about GWB's grandfather was irrelevant to GWB's suitability for office.

Not voter suppression... but you have polling stations that can't be monitored by both sides.
