[MD] growth and sustainability

[DMB to Platt]
Think. It's patriotic.

[Arlo]
Following the 2004 elections, many aired legitimate complaints to 
warrant at the LEAST an investigation into voter fraud. At THAT time, 
anyone who even SUGGESTED the idea was branded an anti-American 
traitor. But now that the shoe is on the other foot, suddenly the 
idea of voter fraud is HUGE. This is American politics, where not 
only does it ONLY matter when "that evil other team does it", but in 
fact "it's only them who does it". The Wikipedia entry on "Voter 
fraud" has compiled much data on this. Make no mistake, voter fraud 
whether perpetrated by the libs or the cons is a threat to democracy, 
but to condemn it, nay acknowledge the possibility of it occurring 
only from "that evil other party" is part and parcel of that same evil.

[DMB to Platt]
Seems like you hate the government, except when it involves the 
actions of unethical conservatives.

[Arlo]
You miss the point, DMB. Its impossible to have "unethical 
conservatives". Libs lie, cons don't. Libs use propaganda, cons 
simply speak the truth. Libs hate America, cons love it. Libs want to 
see dead American soldiers, cons support our troops. Libs steal, 
cheat, use underhanded methods, play dirty and slap babies, cons are 
honest, virtuous, noble, baby-loving citizens. Libs have "fancy, 
elitist dinners", cons have "fundraisers". Libs are arrogant, cons 
are humble. Libs manipulate by the leftist media, cons have open and 
fair dialogue on talk-radio. Libs "hate real Americans", cons ARE 
real Americans. And on and on and on and on... This is the only 
dialogue Platt has ever offered, from the time I signed on to the 
present day. Does it really surprise you that he's squalking the 
Hannity "voter fraud" lines du jour? Does it really surprise you that 
he turns a blind eye to accusations made against his own party? 
C'mon... the wing-nuts have merely moved their vitriol into 
hyperdrive as the election looms. You should try turning on Hannity 
or Limbaugh for an hour (if you can stomach the stupidity), it is a 
level of fear, anger and venom that has reached an all time record, 
but that "base" is really showing its true colors for sure. I'm 
guessing even McCain is embarrassed by the people who he's supposed 
to be courting. Sad.
