OK. Still furious about this whole Toricelli mess. The cynicism and sheer gall of my own party makes
me ashamed. Is there nothing left we care about other than "winning" at any cost? No higher priniciple?
Like the current law as written, no matter whether or not it suits our purposes? Do we run to the courts
each time we have a corrupt candidate losing in tracking polls? Anyone care how bad this looks?
Is this the example we want to set for young Democrats? New Jerseyans chose Toricelli to be on the ballot.
Chose badly, given who he is. He bailed too late. Bailed with ONLY the stated reason that he wanted to help
preserve the seat!! I can't believe I'm saying this, but what about Forrester's right NOT to have his campaign
bushwhacked at the eleventh hour? I don't live in N.J., and even if I did I would have abstained rather than vote
for that blowhard Toricelli, but still as an interested observer I just cannot believe what has happened.
Its funny how the non liberal media buries this story on like page 3 of the nation page down here in Austin.
This is sad it is very sad. If you see a liberal democrat talk about this they will say "voters need a choice".
Like you said it is all up front and out there. There is no doubt about this one. None. I have no doubt that
the Dems will lose both the House and Senate. But I'm afraid their shnanagans will only get worse.
More scare campaigns and such
You know what? I hope Republicans take control of BOTH House and Senate. In fact I'll help vote in anyone on my ballot!
Maybe that's the lesson we will need to change our ways and play by the rules. And don't anyone tell me the end justifies
the means because this is BU$$$$H or whatever. That's lame, and we should be of higher mind: If you think your enemy evil,
overcome him with good. Keep to the high road.
Thanks very well put.
