The republicans are the party of liars. Who is more likely to actually commit these crimes? Republicans. Even the 4 votes thing you came up with is probably republicans spreading lies.
- baltimore 14y agoSeriously? Why are you even here (HN)? This place does not suffer trolls lightly.
- mkr-hn 14y agoHN loves trolls as long as they aren't lazy about it.
- marshallp 14y agoWhat? Are you denying Romnesia, or the lies that led to the Iraq war. Or Nixon's party. Or that the military-industrial xomplex and big oil is allied with republicans. Or Peter Norvig's analysis of who you should vote for http://norvig.com/election-faq-2012.html http://norvig.com/election-faq-2012.html It's easy to call "troll" and try to sneakily shout out the other person. You should try some self-reflection if you're a republican. If you've got enough inquisitiveness to be on HN, apply that to deciphering what the republican party actually stands for.
- TallGuyShort 14y agoYeah - politicians who happen to agree with you must obviously not be lying.
- marshallp 14y agoWe can use data, like factcheck, to figure it out http://www.factcheck.org/ http://www.factcheck.org/
- TallGuyShort 14y agoI'm 100% in favor of that on specific issues, and I wouldn't dispute a claim that Republicans lie more. But calling the Republic Party the "party of liars" and using that argument during a discussion of voter fraud? Not classy. Especially not in this community.
- robomartin 14y agoBe careful, your intelligence is showing.
- marshallp 14y agoYeah, statistically, democrats are smarter than republicans. I must be smarter than average!
- Locke1689 14y agoDepends on what you mean by smarter. Someone who votes Democrat is equally likely to have a college education as a Republican.
- CamperBob2 14y agoSource? I have never heard this.
- streptomycin 14y agohttp://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/polls/#USP00p1 http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/polls/#USP00p1 The best educational demographic for Democrats is "No High School". The best for Republicans is "College Graduate".
- zero_intp 14y agoYou have presented what is nearly the most asinine counter-intellectual analysis I have ever read. The linked facts do not support you. Only 4% of the population is in that category and of that category 63% voted D, 35% voted R. In no world does this equate to D are represented in the majority by those without High School educations. Further-more, (from your own source) of the 28% of the population who are college graduates 50% voted D 48% voted R. This explicitly indicates more College Graduates voted D than R.

- mkr-hn 14y agoThe party lost its mind in general, but there are many decent Republicans who don't associate with the party's more ridiculous ideas. I don't know which party/movement you associate with, but you're doing a poor job of representing it.
- icarus_drowning 14y agoLook, we get it that you have strong political opinions. That's great. Have fun expressing them as well or as poorly as you like. But for many, many reasons-- for example, that this is a technology site, or that this is a site that tries to cultivate a community of thoughtful commentary-- it isn't a good idea to post this kind of thing here.
- marshallp 14y agoI'm not really being political. The OP said democrat fraud isn't getting attention on here, I simply pointed out it's more likely republicans would be committing fraud. That is all. I get it that republicans would "feel" offended, but that doesn't counter the likelihood of which party would harbor the unsavoury characters.
- icarus_drowning 14y agoThat assumption is political, and if you don't understand that then you're not a good match for this community.
- marshallp 14y agoChill out, I'm half-trolling. It's election day. I knew I'd get a downvote-kicking. I've been on here for 3 years, I'm a hugely valuable but underrated member of this community.
- icarus_drowning 14y agoIf you knew you'd get a downvoting-kicking, what exactly motivated you to engage in a behavior that so clearly violates the culture here? I'm not accusing, I'm genuinely curious.
