If you ever needed proof that the Republican party has completely gone over to the dark side, the voter fraud Big Lie rubs your nose in it.

Republicans know they can't conceal what they're doing, even if the Republican-controlled Corporate media ignores it. So they find anything questionable that any Democrat anywhere has done, and hype it in their Republican-controlled newspapers and television stations. It's not that the problems were actually serious, and it's not like the problems weren't corrected immediately.

But the Republicans need to set the media stage so that anyone who mentions the vast Republican voter fraud campaigns can be accused of trying to distract from the sixty questionable registrations that were detected and corrected in South Dakota.

Quote of the day: RNC Chairman Mark Racicot fired back that the Democrats "racially charged allegations of voter suppression" were an attempt to divert attention from "charges of Democrat vote fraud in South Dakota, Arkansas and elsewhere."

Perspective: Jeb Bush and Kathryn Harris spent of millions of dollars wrongly to deny the right to vote to 91,000 American citizens in Florida -- giving specific verbal instructions not to check the accuracy of the list. They admitted their wrong-doing in court, and promised they would fix it right after Bush's re-election. That's just the tip of the iceberg, of course.

I hate days like this. My parrot is just "Wag the dog! Wag the dog!"

I mean, good grief! Can't the CIA time an assassination so election-day headlines are George Bush claiming success against "evil-doers" without every single silly parrot in the whole country squawking "Wag the dog! Wag the dog!" all day long?

Washington, DC (licentious) -- George W. Bush demanded immediate, unconditional apologies from "unpatriotic, anti-American" Democrats who questioned the timing of the Executive branch's assassination of six Arab males in Yemen -- who Bush insisted were top Al Qaeda operatives.

"It's unbelievable affrontery that America-hating Demos would raise questions like this during a time of war. Anyone who suggests my administration would use military force abroad for political gain -- well, that's just beyond the pale. They should be ashamed, and voters should throw them out of office."

"Before we bring democracy to Iraq or Afghanistan, it might be prudent to bring it to Florida. We don't have to bring regime change to the whole state. We can start bombing in Pensacola and work our way down." -- Jon Stewart, on Florida's latest voting fiasco
