Voters say they were duped into registering as Republicans

[Xotik]

The Republicans think they are slick. I received my absentee ballot and the way it's set up, you can acidentally circle in a Republican choice if you don't read the instructions first. They are listed as the independent, republican, and conservative party. Yet they only have Obama/Biden for Democratic and Working Families? Where is liberal party? They space Obama/Biden out and mash all 3 choices for Republican and think they are smart putting them under Independent! I hope that people are smart, and are not duped by the obvious way the ballot looks to force independents to vote McCain/Palin that way!

Apparently, dirty republican tricks with regard to the military are becoming more and more common.

And it is turning the service people off of the party.

So many things are turning people against the GOP.It's a mass exodus.I hope the neoCONS crash and burn to where they are smaller than the independents(oh happy day!!!),but I do feel a twinge of sorrow for moderate repubs as they have lost their party to the likes of Bushco...It's their faults though for allowing Rove,Hannity,Limbaugh,Gingrich,Robertson and other warts on the ass of society to influence them so much and allow them to "speak" (regurgitate?) for them.Grow a pair people and you can have your party back.
