Everytime there is an election, democrats have to spend a large majority of their time on the

defense from cheating on the right. It is mind boggling that the the rethuglican party uses every cheating method they have to win. Remember Al Gore and how they cheated him out of his presidency. Remember Hilary Clinton and how they cheated her out of the presidency. Remember John Kerry and how they swfitboated him. Remember how we are now finding out how they trapped Gary Hart and ended his candidacy. Remember how they vilified Howard Dean for screaming in enthusiasm. The list goes on and on.
