Democrats vandalize republican headquarters (sounds like 2004 all over again)

"It appears the Democrats have already resorted to Election Day dirty tricks. Late last night vandals struck the Kean for Senate Headquarters and an auxiliary office of the Star-Ledger by chaining closed the main entrance to the building as well as braking off keys in the side door entrances.

Desperate ploys such as using Hudson County Correctional Inmates to disrupt press conferences or chaining closed the front door to our headquarters, will not prevent us from informing voter's that Bob Menendez is under Federal Criminal Investigation and is unfit to serve in the United States Senate."

Hopefully they'll find whoever did it and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

It's really pathetic to see people and parties unable to simply let the voters decide on the merits of the candidates and their positions, resorting to underhanded and illegal tactics.

Suppression, intimidation, vandalizing, slashing tires, whatever.. it's all despicable and should be condemned by everyone.

This sorta stuff happens on both sides of the isle. Do we really need to pretend that it's just one side doing it? When you try and insinuate that, itjust makes people angry and then they will go hunting, and find, examples of it happening to the other side and it will go back and forth ad naseum.

Me? I'm just bringing "balance" (as Motivez likes to say) to this board. You notice all the threads about the republicans doing bad things. I make one thread and you ask if I am pretending it's only one side? C'mon....

Where was this post in the Thors threads????

seriously, WTF is wrong with people? you'd think, despite how contentious everything is here, we could all agree to let democracy decide what happens. apparently there are a lot of closet-fascists on both sides of the isle with contempt for the election process.

We all get pissed off from time to time and even resort to personal attacks because we love this shit, but none of us want voters to be discouraged and representatives offices to be vandalized...truly saddening.

The thing is that most people don't want "democracy" they want their viewpoint to prevail.

Some people will accept the losses so they can the wins later, others will not.

Sometimes they are stupid, as in this case.

I think with the rampant spread of dirty tactics, it's too easy to rationalize this stuff. You can think, "well, I know it's illegal and I should just let the system do its thing, but the other side is doing all these shady things, so I have no choice but to do shady stuff myself, otherwise they'll have an unfair advantage."

Basically, unless people start getting prosecuted and sentenced harshly, these problems are only going to get worse because people will feel like they need to do them to compete.

Menendez isn't under investigation, a land deal is. Where he was a landlord and his tenants payed him on bungled records.

Republican libel and propoganda
