So one could argue that it’s actually the Republicans who should find that the Dead Kennedys were the good ones for their purposes.
(Personally I’m largely indifferent to the Dead Kennedys, but have a bizarre soft spot for ’Holiday in Cambodia’.)

I'm not a republican, I'm an independent and I don't think Bush won Florida fair and square. Jeb made sure to rig the elections in his brother's favor and by doing that, created the butterfly ballot that seriously made things confusing. Then thanks to that, it was Dick Cheney that pushed for the electronic voting machines, and funny, back then, the democrats were against those machines. Now, they were in favor of mail in ballots, but they wanted those mail in ballots to be certified by a county clerk.
