We need democratic activists challenging GOP voter registrations nationwide in heavily GOP areas. Hey, they do it

GOP says it will keep contesting voter registrations

1. See, but we're the DEMOCRATIC party.
We are for inclusion in the system, not picking at the other side's voters.

2. I say screw them
I say we station activists at GOP polling areas and challenge voter registrations just like they do. Too many dems want to lie down and take it up the ass from the GOP. I am not one of them.

4. It's worth a shot
In tight states like Ohio and Florida it could tip the scales in our favor. For the sake of our nation we need to fight the enemy, no holds barred.

5. If we worked a little harder on our issues, we wouldn't need to do this.
Cheap election tactics are the last refuge of the scoundrel, or something. :)

3. I agree, but you have to be careful.
I was a poll challenger in a Dem district in 05 and I thought exactly the same thing. The Repukes were out in force during 04 near the local colleges. It was so bad, one friend who was a challenger said, that she had voted for Republicans in the past but would NEVER do that again. This is what we would have to be very careful of. Being a challenger but following the rules.

6. I say we simply start enforcing the law where we can
and start meeting out maximum sentences for Republicans who violate it- especially repeat offenders.

Zero tolerance is a game that two can play at.
