Mr. Arteaga,
After reading and rereading your self-righteous cant I decided you weren't worth my time, but my mind kept returning to your hateful reference to the military. My anger would not let me ignore the scornful reference. I am a former Marine, as was my father and his father; my great grandfather was wounded at Fredricksburg and his father was killed there. My son is in the Army. Like many Americans - Democrats included - I consider the military an honorable and necessary part of our common heritage.
You wrote: "...AND ignoring the inclusion of many military votes illegally cast...". Then you wrote how, "conservatives have no qualms about illegalities committed by their guys...". THEIR GUYS! Are you an American citizen? Is El Paso part of the U.S.? Do you not consider my son worthy of a vote? He puts his life on the line for you and Al Gore's thugs actively pursue a policy that would disenfranchise him and other brave young men and women on the basis of mail bags from the fleet not getting from the FPO to the State in time. Mr. Arteaga, you and your wing of the Democrat Party are beneath contempt. My comments in HNN madden you? Well, I'm pleased to perform the service.
