Did anyone hear Mark Foley's preposterous tale of dem tricks?
On "Hardball" last night, Foley told this Parlockian story about big guys with union t-shirts and Kerry pins intimidating republican voters. He said they were asking people coming to the polls who they were voting for and if they said they were Kerry supporters they said go right ahead! But if they were Bush voters they told them to go away.

He told of a "poor old Cuban woman" who came, the dem thugs heard her accent, told her she doesn't belong here.

Tweety asked Kendrick Meek to comment, Meek had a big smile on his face and said, sometimes Mark exaggerates.

Foley protested, "I never exaggerate on Hardball!" to which there was much laughter, and Foley, who wasn't trying to be funny, looked really embarrassed.

1. whatever they accuse dems of, they are doing
they have an organized effort to intimidate. we have already heard. if they say dems are doing it, then they get away with it. call dems stealing signs, then it is they both do it. say dems lying then both do and null and void.

then when it comes to the actual people doing these things being addressed it is pity.

2. They're starting the stories of "Dem dirty tricks" early,
to cover up their own crap. It's so obvious.

3. And the dirtiest Dem trick of all
Getting voters registered and to the polls so that Democratic candidates get more votes, and then declaring that they "won" the election!

Rotten bastards, aren't we?
