Republican Dirty Tricks

Here are just two glaring examples of Republican dirty tricks by two self-described Republican organizations:

1. Some have desperately tried to make the link between “communists” and Mr. Bush’s opponent. Hmmm, I wonder where such ridiculous and caricaturist allegations could’ve sprung from? Oh, let me guess, how about from the minds of Republicans:

The group behind “Communists for Kerry” ( http://www.communistsforkerry.com/ ) is a Republican organization called the Hellgate Republican Club. Incredibly enough, the Hellgate Republican Club ( http://www.hellgate.org/disclaimer/ ) has the gall to call itself a “non-partisan” organization.

2. Clearly Mr. Nader was a factor in the 2000 election. Not daring to leave anything to chance in 2004, Mr. Bush’s supporters want to give their candidate every possible advantage — given how little faith many of them actually have on Mr. Bush. Accordingly, just as Republican organizations have done elsewhere, the Michigan Republican Party worked to get Mr. Nader 40,000 signatures to try to place him that state’s ballot:

“The Michigan Republican Party submitted more than 40,000 signatures last week in a bid to get independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader on the state’s November ballot.” [ July 19, 2004 ]

These are just two examples. I wonder what else our good friends at the GOP have in stored for the American public — an “October Surprise,” perhaps!?

Let the guessing games begin… perhaps Osama Bin Ladin will emerge from his hiding place in the caves of Tora Bora… or from the mountain ranges of Pakistan… who knows.
