Should Democrats be willing to cheat to win in 2008?

[bluestateguy]

I will discuss this topic at another time in a more extensive post that I am working on on and off, but I want to do it right because I know that it's going to ruffle a lot of feathers.

1. Define "cheat". nt

[bluestateguy]

8. THAT I will do at another time

It requires a long and complicated explanation.

[Inland]

20. Well, in that case, never! nt

[Double T]

2. Cheat and behave like a republican neocon which we ALL CONDEMN.....

NEVER!!!!!

3. We Cannot Defeat Our Enemies By Becoming Them!

With gasoline at $3.50 a gallon or more in some places, I know that it's very difficult not to yield to temptation in order to save our country and the fate of the entire planet. However, if we debase ourselves and stoop to using the tactics of the opposition, we become them.

The best thing to do is support those members of Congress pushing real election reform legislation. Help them send it to *'s desk.

4. We don't win by cheating.

We win with the truth.

5. if they stood up and explained how GOP cheated, Dems wouldn't need to

if they did cheat on the scale of the GOP, we would no longer have a democracy.

[bigwillq]

6. We shouldn't cheat.

Then we would be no better then them (repukes).

7. maybe if a teen from a foreign country was elected president,

then they would get it. But if we stoop to their level, all is really lost!

9. This is a ridiculous post

[Jersey Devil]

10. Where's the "pillage and burn" option?

I will only be willing to cheat if I also have the right to pillage and burn afterward.

11. No. But we do need to hit below the belt.

Liberal chain emails denigrating the opposition, digging up any sort of a thing to drive a wedge between the rich and the fundamentalist and libertarian constituencies, creating doubt about the candidate's honesty.

[susanna]

12. You're right about ruffling feathers.

Absolutely not. No cheating, I mean.
I look forward to your extensive post that will explain why you asked such a thing. :think:

on edit: spacing

[marions ghost]

13. no

Democrats should be willing to expose the cheating in 2004 in order to win in 2008.

[bonito]

14. No

Watever you do, you do to everyone. peace

[johnaries]

15. NO. We would be no better than them.

They believe that the ends justify the means.

If the means cannot be justified on their own, then the results will be corrupt.

We must be careful that in fighting evil we do not become the very evil that we are fighting (with apologies to Nietzche).

[meganmonkey]

16. So a quarter of people say 'YES', but none are willing to explain?

C'mon, let's hear you justify it...

:shrug:

(okay, now it's more like a fifth, but still!)

[madokie]

17. Cheating is for losers.

We dem's are winners. We must win fair and square and set an example

[darkism]

18. We win WITHOUT cheating ALL THE DAMN TIME.

We just let the CHEATERS TAKE OUR VICTORIES AWAY FROM US.

[beyurslf]

If they won't play by our rules, then we must play by theirs...

21. No way. Let me repeat: no way.

If the Democrats start pulling the same shit as the GOP has in recent years, I will leave them flat. Buh-bye, Dems.

No fucking way.
