07/22/2004: "No Honor Among Thieves"

There is a particularly revolting article in the Wa Po today about vote selling and swapping votes and a website name that has been purchased for that reason. The idea here is that you get someone in a swing state to pledge that they will vote for your candidate and that you will cast your vote the way they want in hopes of changing the outcome of the election. It lists peoples names, ages, occupations, and the cities they live in who are planning to participate in this debacle.

My mother once told me that the worst thing about being a liar is not that no one believes you, it’s that you can’t believe anything anyone else says. If you lack honor and integrity as the people listed in this article do, can you really trust that someone who lacks character as much as you do will fulfill their end of the bargain? Absolutely, pathetic and these people have the right to vote.
