South Carolina Democrats' Senatorial Primary -- If You Don't Like the Results, CHANGE THEM!!!


Alvin Greene -- S.C. Democrat Candidate for Senate

In last week’s primary, South Carolina Democrats elected Alvin Greene as their Senatorial nominee to run against Republican Senator Jim DeMint. Greene has no political experience, is jobless, and has pornography charges standing against him. He lives in his father’s basement. The porn charges stand from showing dirty pictures to a girl in a college library.

Vic Rawl lost the election having campaigned lightly for the office. Rawl is a prominent member of the South Carolina legislature.

Now Senator James Clyburn is suggesting the election results should be tossed because he accuses that the computer voting system must have been hacked though offers no evidence whatsoever to support his contention.

Meanwhile, the South Carolina election committee found no grounds for any difficulties either with how the election was conducted or the soundness of the equipment used.

The Democrats seem to be advancing the proposition once again that if they don’t like their available candidate or election results, change the rules. How can America forget the prolonged agony our country went through because Al Gore would not accept the obvious electoral results in Florida in the 2000 Presidential election? Because they thought one locality’s ballot was not designed to their liking they were entitled to some special considerations that would have nullified the will of the voters. George W. Bush won plain and simple.

In New Jersey 2002, the incumbent Senator, Bob Torricelli won the June primary election to run for a second term as Senator. Torricelli was indicted on Federal corruption charges. Fearing this would cost the Democrats the election facing such charges all but assuring a Republican victory for Doug Forrester, the Democrats under the corrupt Corzine administration, changed the law allowing them to cite special circumstances allowing Frank Lautenberg to run for the seat. Given that the original election law provided for no method for handling such a situation, the law was upheld. Yes, New Jersey is famous for its corruption as their crony appointments to their court system clearly show.

We’ll now follow the South Carolina saga and see what kind of bizarre efforts and ridiculous attempts to reassign the blame for what was their voters (although almost certainly ignorant of the candidates) intent.

Democracy works fine for the Democrats as long as it provides the results they need. Rational minds must clearly see that any attempt to toss out the results of an election because one party or candidate does not like the results a dangerous threat to the democratic process.

In all three of these cases, the sympathetic news media did not report the entire scope of what was at stake in these elections instead making those on the losing end who were compatible with their political biases look deserving of special attention. When we see that Major League Baseball would not overturn a blown umpire call costing a pitcher a perfect game, baseball, fun and games compared to politics, understands messing around with established rules and results is risky business. The slimy opportunism, dishonestly, and total lack of guiding ethical principles demonstrated by the Democratic party reveals what their true character is all about. Once again they reveal that accomplishing their desired end, extending their grasp on power, justifies the means no matter how unsavory, corrupt, unethical, and possibly illegal their means could be.
