The government we deserve

Alexis de Tocqueville stated in the early 1800's that "in a Democracy we get the government we deserve".

Now that we are seeing how the Democrats really play the game with fraudulent funding techniques, fraudulent voter registration, voter intimidation, attacks against any opposing views using illegal tactics to comb governmental records, (see Joe the Plumber), yet to be seen legal attackes if the Dems lose in Minnesota or Georgia, etc. we as Americans are going to get what we deserve. What that will be and whether it is good for the United States is yet to be seen.

Mark:

Why not talk about voter suppression? Katherine Harris illegally took 20K (mostly black) people off the rolls in Florida in 2000. Do you figure 600 would have voted to Gore? For any petty little voter fraud item you manufacture, I can remind you of voter suppression and how it changed history for the worse.

Obviously - any fraud and suppression should be dealt with harshly.
