Final thoughts on house debate
Stephanie Tubbs Jones: Points out that both Democratic and Republican election workers in Ohio serve at Ken Blackwell's pleasure, and that Blackwell was chair of Bush's Ohio campaign.
John Conyers: could we please "enact real election reform"!!!
Tom Delay: "amazing but not surprising" "a shame" "the purpose of this petition is not justice but noise." "a warning to democrats across the country...not to moderate their party's message" "turned to the X-files wing of the Democrat party" "failed strategy of spite, obstruction, and conspiracy theories" "assault against the institutions of our representative democracy."
"Democrat campaign operatives"
"This is a direct attack to undermine our democracy."
amazing -- claims that no irregularities occurred in 2000.
"a dangerous precedent is being set here today, and it needs to be curbed."
claims there is a constitutional right for people to elect the President. uh, actually, no. Pathetic but true
ugh, huge cheers for DeLay's speech.
My thoughts:
"irregularities" is the new "abuse"
What's up with the Republicans insisting on calling it the "Democrat Party"?
Will sum up Republican Talking Points in future post.

Ted Rall has a whole bit on how the Republicans use the term "Democrat Party" as an adjective to subtly demean Democrats, and I think he's right.
