Wisconsin - why do Republicans get so close but always lose.

[MasterJedi]

Strange, wa sit not the Democrats who were caught giving cartens of cigarettes to homeless people in exchange for votes in 2000?

No. It wasn't.

That entire episode was just completely and totally made up, and you know it.

Everyone's wrong, this is the guy who's living in the fantasy world. What an idiot he is. So everything bad the Democrats do is made up and everything bad the Republicans do is right?

They both do bad things sometimes and it's wrong but the Dems do bad things too. Get your thumb out of your ass and wisen up!

Ok I'm calm now, I have to let the anger out sometimes.

well, that's bandit. He thinks Kerry won 65% of the vote in Oklahoma somehow.

How about Democratic leader's children in northern Milwaukee (I think it was there), slashing the tires of Republican vans so they couldn't campaign and take people to the polls to vote for them.

This never happened. This was just some manufactured story that made the rounds through Rush and Drudge.

Sources say politicians' sons, 3 other Democrats will be hit with felonies

The Tire Slashing Criminal Complaint

Moore attended the court appearance for her son, but declined to address the felony charge after the proceeding, saying only that she had to catch a plane. A message left on Marvin Pratt's cell phone was not immediately returned.

Politically motivated.

Republicans do this stuff all the time, and get away with it.

Politically motivated.

So was the Watergate break-in.  You aren't saying that politically motivated felonies are protected free speech are you?

BTW are the Washington Post, Boston Globe, and San Francisco Chronicle outlets for Drudge now?

All of that crap was pretty immature (I saw all kinds of crap in Greenwich Village before I transferred down home).  I still think Kerry won WI.  In fact, I think Kerry won all the states that were called for him, as with Bush.  This was a really normal (and telling) election.

I have to agree. Althought we could argue all night long about the 2000 election results(and i'm sure we all did that a fair share of times), i have to say that every state was called the way the people voted.

It seems the same people who yell about getting over it are the ones most worried about tire slashing.

Well i was in the State from friday to election day. And i can 100% say that i saw no tyre slashing.

I saw street fights.

I saw Republicans campaigning in Appleton churches on the Sunday.

i bought five homeless guys lunch and some alchool in exchange for voting. I don't know if they voted Republican/Demoncrat and neither does anyone else but at least they voted. Does that make me a bad person?

The bottom line is Kerry won Wisconsin. While Bush won the 2000 election through a Conservative Supreme Court.

The difference is huge.

Wisconsin will vote democrat in 2008. Its like gravity what must go up must come down.

Or has Kansas banned gravity from physics class?
