Letter to the Editor
Four years ago when Bush stole the election the Democrats stood silent and allowed it to happen and suppressed the voices withing their own party who wanted to speak out about election fraud. We now have another election that although wasn't as close as last time - was still riddled with fraud. We now live in a country when the outcome of an election is dependent on who is counting the votes, and this is an issue that needs to be talked about. It would be a very big mistake for Democrats to again block this debate like they did last time.
There are three reasons Democrats have been losing elections. The first is that Republicans are stealing elections. The second and more important is that Democrats have stood silent and allowed it to happen. The last reason is that the Democrats keep voting with Republicans on unprovoked wars and cutting taxes for the rich. No one wants to vote for cowards and if the Democrats are going to roll over and take it again and again when they know better - then why bother to support them? If they aren't going to dig in and fight for issues like stopping the Republicans for privatizing Social Security, protecting reproductive choice, and blocking extreme judges - then what is the point in them being there in the first place? Democrats never win when they try to be like Republicans.
