you know there is something wrong, when people make cheap jokes about rigged elections...

Mine was just barely a joke.

By the way, it seems that some people are against parties. How exactly would you prevent people from forming parties? Death penalty?

Straw man alert!

If that's a straw man, then I guess there isn't anyone against parties. Great!

Um... that was another one geneven. :rolleyes:

Seriously, there was a fatal flaw in the logic of your previous question. You don't see it?

Hint: no one in the thread advocated extreme measures to prevent the formation of formal political parties. All I saw was a PREFERENCE...

Edit: by the way, when did you stop beating your dog? :p

Given Diebold's history, though, I expect a close outcome could be easily engineered. :rolleyes:

First they make you think its close, then less people complain when Diebold does their thing. Wag that dog!!

Shame Obama just changed his technology platform to be in line with Biden's... (shouldn't it be the other way around).

Now both Obama and McCain suck for future internet related issues.
