Honesty is a lost art, so if you cannot win, cheat

The American political arena will soon see cheaters rising to the top of the dung-pile. In an effort to raise themselves from the jaws of defeat, liberal bloggers are calling for Democrats to pollute the American election processes. Is this "American"?

The largest of the American liberal blogs or, at least a close second, has come up with a plan to pollute the election process in the Michigan primaries.

With a history of meddling in our primaries, why don’t we try and return the favor. Next Tuesday, January 15th, Michigan will hold its primary. Michigan Democrats should vote for Mitt Romney, because if Mitt wins, Democrats win. How so?

For Michigan Democrats, the Democratic primary is meaningless since the DNC stripped the state of all its delegates (at least temporarily) for violating party rules. Hillary Clinton is alone on the ballot.

But on the GOP side, this primary will be fiercely contested. John McCain is currently enjoying the afterglow of media love since his New Hamsphire victory, while Iowa winner Mike Huckabee is poised to do well in South Carolina.

Meanwhile, poor Mitt Romney, who’s suffered back-to-back losses in the last week, desperately needs to win Michigan in order to keep his campaign afloat. Bottom line, if Romney loses Michigan, he’s out. If he wins, he stays in.

And we want Romney in, because the more Republican candidates we have fighting it out, trashing each other with negative ads and spending tons of money, the better it is for us. We want Mitt to stay in the race, and to do that, we need him to win in Michigan

Be that as it may, true to form of one-sided story telling giving a false impression, the GOP "meddling" in DNC primaries had no affect on the outcome.

The "meddling" on either sides' primaries was shown to be wrong and has been far and few between since then. Interfering is not an honest manner in which We The People decide.

With a pending charge of voter fraud against Markos Moulitsas, it just might behoove the voting public to ignore such disingenuous activity...from all sides.
