What is More Despicable Than The GOP?

I'm serious! Day after day I hear about nasty, nasty, un-American activities condoned by the Republican Party and it really makes me sick that Americans find this acceptable (well, maybe not. This seems to be why life long Republicans who have never voted Democrat are voting for Obama).

I'll start with the nut job from the RNC who carved a letter "B" in her face saying that a large black man did this to her because she had a McCain sticker on her car's bumper. A communications director in Pennsylvania from the McCain Campaign then called media outlets to tell them how to report on this horrendous fabrication. Is that American values?

I'm listening to a Allen Raymond interview on Bill Maher. From Wikipedia:

Raymond told investigators that his former Republican National Committee colleague James Tobin approached him with a plan to tie up the phones of NH Democrats on Election Day 2002, during a close Senate race between Republican John E. Sununu and Democrat Jeanne Shaheen. Raymond collected $15,600 from the NH Republican State Committee and paid a small Idaho telemarketing company $2,300 to make non-stop hangup phone calls to six NH phone lines. Five of these were being used by Democrats to get out the vote; the sixth belonged to the Manchester (NH) Firefighters' Union, which offers non-partisan rides to the polls.

Raymond spent three months in federal prison.

Why can't they just run a clean campaign on the issues? What is wrong with that.

This from Democracy Now!:

GOP Ads Darken Skin of Indian American Dem. Candidate

Republicans in Minnesota are being accused of racism after running attack ads that apparently darken the skin of an Indian American Democrat running for Congress. The Democrat, Ashwin Madia, is a former Marine and Iraq war veteran. Attack ads funded by the National Republican Congressional Committee appear to show him with a darkened complexion. Madia is challenging Republican Erik Paulsen in Minnesota’s third congressional district.

Colorado to Reinstate Thousands of Purged Voters

In voting news, voter rights activists have won another major victory, this time in Colorado. State officials have agreed to reinstate tens of thousands of people whose names had been removed from the rolls. Colorado Secretary of State [Repulican] Mike Coffman said he had removed up to 30,000 voters because they appeared twice on the rolls or had moved out of state. But in a lawsuit against Coffman, the civil rights group the Advancement Project accused of him of an illegal purge. Under a settlement, the removed voters will be able to cast provisional ballots that will be counted unless officials can prove their ineligibility.

I'm not criticising the pre-Reagan fiscal conservatives of my father's Republican party (mostly because I don't know much about them).
