election success is always the result of "conspiracy"
Advertisements [?]
there is always a vast network of people working together, in ways large and small, behind the candidates for any major office. some are decent, honest "little people", some are self-interested fat cats, some are just in it for the power and fame, some are paid dirty tricksters, some are fervently working for their vision of the greater good. some will be smart, some will be devoted, some will be generous, some will be cynical, some will be crooks, and some will follow the crooks. some votes will always be stolen, we are constantly assured.
so, we know there was a republican "conspiracy" to install *, legitimately or not, again, just as there was a democratic "conspiracy" to elect john kerry. why is it so hard to believe that there were the required number in the party of power, money, greed, and war to tip the balance?
all great crimes require conspiracy. are those the throw around the canard of "conspiracy theory" suggesting that there have been no great crimes in history? that such a thing is unlikely, if not impossible? perhaps they should take a look at human history.
