American voters. The most money ever to be spent on an American election. And the grunt work being sent to India like it is beneath them to do it here! I interpret this as a slap in the face to the American people. It is pure arrogance! It goes against all they say they stand for!
I'm sorry to hear of your disability, I didn't mean to make a personal attack and I apologize.

I agree with you about the pretty disgusting behavior of the Republican party. Search for "Politicians behaving badly" to see four examples of the naughty things Republicans have been up to. It's pretty amazing how much they've been able to get away with.

Where I disagree with you is in your criticism of the brilliant Republican tactics. They have a fund-raising juggernaut, that steamrolls any Democratic candidate on any given day of the week. Left-leaning people will vote Democratic, the right will vote Republican, that much is a given. The big fight is for the centrists, who decide elections. Money buys airtime and more airtime can sway votes. If you are so indignant about the Republicans, why don't you do something about it and campaign for their opposition? The Democrats/other parties are at a significant disadvantage for "mindshare" since they have less money. More money and reputations will be shed over what look to be a nasty Democratic primary fight, which the Republicans will not have to endure.

Participation is the foundation of Democracy. While many of the things "immoral" things that happen are technically legal, it's important that you make the people who make those decisions pay for their bad karma. 2004 Elections, here we come.
