George W. Bush, plain fuckin stole the 2000 election.

Republicans should just admit it. The country is watching the GOP, plain as day rig the 2012 election. They have done it before and are prepared to do it again.

1) TRMS Coverage of Nebraska/Pennsylvania is the greatest example of this. Both states are structurally changing their election laws to benefit the Republican party. The contrast could not be clearer, these two states are doing the exact opposite to achieve their goal.

2) 33 States are now considering new voter ID laws, if they have not legislated them already. 26 of those states are in total control of the Republican party. Side note: Some states are limiting the types of ID's that can be used while other states such as Wisconsin are shutting down offices, specifically in Democratic districts where voters obtain ID's.

3) By June of 2011, a handful of states had dramatically reduced if not completely eliminated early voting. States that we have had election issues with in the past such as Florida, has taken it even further by denying groups such as the league of women voters from registering voters.

* It should be noted that it was reported this week that Florida is privatizing the handling of the early voting system in that state.

4) In many states Republicans have attempted to take voting rights away from college students, advising that students would have to return to their home state to vote if they wanted to participate in the 2012 elections. This idea essentially failed at the onset fearing immediate challenges.

5) The takedown of ACORN - Self Explanatory

6) Citizens United Ruling - Self Explanatory

Please feel free to add to this list if I have missed or left anything out. It should be crystal clear to the American people that the Republican party will do what ever it takes to steal power. With this current list of tactics provided by the GOP, it is impossible to think that they did not alter the election of one single state who's Governor was the brother of the person needing a boost in the election.

To the Republican Party, I call......... BULL SHIT!
