A little too ironic

An employee of a private voter registration firm alleges that his bosses trashed registration forms filled out by Democratic voters in Las Vegas. The accused company, Voters Outreach of America, is the subject of FBI "information gathering," and the Secretary of State of Nevada is also examining what happened in Las Vegas.

Voters Outreach of America, it should be noted, was hired by the Republican National Committee, which vigorously denies that it supports any type of fraud. Similar complaints about the company have been filed in another county in Nevada, as well as in Oregon.

Unfortunately, the man who brought the Las Vegas complaint is an employee who is unhappy because he did not get paid. But much more unfortunate is his admission that if he had been paid, he probably would not have blown the whistle. That makes him even more corrupt than the company, and it speaks volumes about why so many companies get away with so much in this country.

Let's assume, for a moment, that the charges will be proven. So we have the trashing of Democratic Party voter registrations in Nevada, the falsifying of voter registrations in Florida, the kicking and shoving of Democratic campaigners and protesters, the intimidation of African American voters in Florida, and countless thefts of Kerry/Edwards yard signs in several communities.

Obviously, there is some fear that the resident will not be elected. But more important, the people who are committing these crimes are the people who want to see morality in the White House, the people who want a leader with "Christian" values.
