Pretending to be...
Honest.
The campaign manager and fund-raising committee for a California Republican have agreed to pay $84,000 in civil penalties for sending out letters pretending to be Democrats during a 1998 congressional campaign, the Federal Election Commission said.Adrian Plesha, manager of Charles Ball's campaign, agreed to pay a $60,000 fine and Ball's campaign committee agreed to pay $24,000. Plesha also pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FEC and was sentenced to three years probation, fined another $5,000 and ordered to perform 160 hours of community service.

come on, if you are going to get all pissy every time the republicans cheat in an election, you will only make yourself look like a sore loser. you cant blame the rich for using every possible weapon against the poor, the poor would be deadly dangerous if they ever realized their power (just ask the royal families of france and russia, oh wait they are all dead, point proven)
absolute power corrupts absolutely, and so does the assumption that one has absolute power, which is called megalomania. face it, the rich are absolutely corrupted. especially the republicans, but to be honest, the democrats are "THE RICH" too really, Although to my knowledge, no democratic president has ever claimed to be anointed by god the way bush does...
besides, its not like voting does any good, hell, i vote, it cant hurt, but i seriously doubt that my vote has ever changed anything. i live in a black and mexican neighborhood, they probobly just throw the ballots into a dumpster somewhere.
like the saying goes, if voting changed anything, it would be illegal (anyone know who said that? i cant find it in my many pages of quotes)
