Fair enough. We all have our experiences with polls and local political parties, and it's not news that political misbehavior gets misreported. Neither party has the corner on it; they both stink enough that I refuse to have anything to do with either anymore.

eta - thanks for the extra info, Stormie. And foot3 - yep, Hobson's choice. As for primaries, don't even get me started. During the time I was registered, the candidate had always been decided on before PA got to vote. There wasn't even the insult of a Hobson's choice.

Um... I've never run across a report like this about the Bull Moose party, or the The Rent is Too Damn High party. But those Whigs ....

I agree, Orthodoc. Neither party is without blemish or misbehavior.

But I don't think this excuses whitewashing or manipulating the facts. By either party. I'm an intelligent person, just give the the facts and I'll decide where to go from there.
