The Onion: Republicans Urge Minorities To Get Out And Vote On Nov. 3

Here's an Onion article that is maybe a little TOO close to the truth to actually be considered satire. I mean, Republicans in Louisiana really did do almost exactly what is being described here.

BTW, are the rank and file of the Republican party as disgusted with all their efforts at voter suppression/intimidation/fraud as I am? Just wondering. I mean, what an interesting question to ask your Republican friends. If you have any left at this point. Me, I'm trying not to. It's simply far too great a character flaw for me to excuse.

But then again, with a Kerry victory looking like a very real possibility, I am finding it far easier to be magnanimous to my Republican neighbors. Just yesterday, I was joshing with a guy who lives along my running route, about the vandalism of his Bush sign. But then, he's not a bad guy. Not at all Republican-like. Heh, or he's a really good actor.

A little over 48 more hours from now, we'll be watching the returns come in. I predict a substantial Kerry victory. Someone call CNN! :)
