    Is there no honesty, is there no shame?

    In Michigan, the Bureau of Elections has ruled that five of the ten Republican candidates for governor in this fall’s elections are ineligible to run in the primaries. It appears that canvassers paid to collect signatures on the candidates’ nomination petitions forged signatures—68,000 of them on the paperwork of 10 candidates. All of the candidates have railed against election fraud. The board’s report says it does not believe that the candidates were aware of the scheme. Still, they should have had systems in place to catch this massive number of fraudulent signatures (some pages were apparently all in the same handwriting). The Board of State Canvassers will vote on the issue Thursday.

    Those dirty Republicans. If they could only learn to take the honesty and moral high ground of the Democrats our country would be much better.

    It's a damn sad thing that some people are unable to see through partisan politics to see the real issue for discussion.

    Do yourself a favor and just stay on the porch.

    Heck, I'm up for it. We shall see if The Board of State Canvassers is up to the task. Unlike my state, they chose to make the state capitol readily accessible..

    Michigan's an interesting state. Check out the Elephant Incident for details.
