This is the party of morality and ethics?

Well…not sure if you’ve heard of the latest outrage by the repubs across the country and their continuing push to rig elections by any means possible, starting with the gerrymandering of congressional districts, various methods of voter suppression, and now trying to rig the electoral college so even if their candidate loses by as big of a margin as ole Mitt did, he would still be president. This latest, nasty little trick by the Koch’s and ALEC, seeks to change the way electoral votes are awarded from the winner take all method in most states, to apportioning them by congressional districts that the repubs have already rigged. If you need any evidence of the seriousness of these proposed changes, you just have to look at our state of Michigan where Obama won by 9% but with the new scheme, the majority of the electoral votes would have gone to ole Mitt. An analysis I saw yesterday that was done on the national level found that if the votes were awarded as the repubs propose, even though Obama won by almost 6 million votes, ole Mitt would have won the election. How much more un-American can you get? But, that is the repubs pattern, wave the flag to distract people and then steal elections by any way they can. In all of my long life, I have never seen a party, other than in the Soviet Union, that would go so far to rig an election that they wouldn’t win on their ideas…these guys should be arrested…oh, one last thing…it is being proposed here in Michigan by the same folks that brought you right to work for less and guns in the schools…geez…
