Below is the text of a letter from a family member to try to convince the few members of my family who are Democrats why they should vote for McCain.

For the last year, there has been much passionate political discussion at family events, and there is no amount of logic or fact that can be used to persuade those in my family who vote Republican to change their minds. This incredible point of view shows why:

I did a search and haven't seen this diary yet ...

We've been waiting for an October surprise, and I suppose there were glimmerings of a few over these past weeks, but they had more of a bizarro-world flavor, like the recent news that Sarah Palin is a freeloader; John McCain being a speaker and warmly welcomed at an ACORN conference; McCain's insistence that Obama is a socialist; Collin Powell's endorsement of Obama, etc.

But if there was ever more of a defining moment that this election is about choosing peace over war, here it is, and what a surprise:

The highly respected Brennan Center for Justice at New York University's School of Law, has a comprehensive, well researched and documented white paper by Justin Levitt on recent allegations of voter fraud allegedly occurring in Wisconsin and other states within the last eight years, entitled, "The Truth About Voter Fraud."

Once you read it, your eyes will be opened to the sham that is being perpetrated upon the U.S. voters.

I road my bike to up to our polling place late this afternoon, and parked it unlocked outside, thinking it would take the usual time, less than five minutes, to vote.

The number I received was 74, a pathetic turnout, as is the norm for primaries. So, easy in, easy out. Man, was I wrong.

K Street Washington lobbyist, GOP corruption king, and all-around sleezy guy, Jack Abramoff was sentenced to four more years in prison today.

He was shown some leniency for cooperating with the FBI to take down other corrupt GOPers like former Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, former Deputy Interior Secretary J. Steven Griles and many top Capitol Hill assistants.

And like a good jailbird, he's gonna sing! Jackie boy's forthcoming book is due for publication later this month.

The title?

Members of my white republican family are very excited about McCain's choice for VP, Sarah Palin. She's a straight talker, blah, blah, blah.

The republican females are especially delighted. And once news broke of Palin's teenage daughter being pregnant and unwed they all rose up in chorus to declare that the families of politicians should be off limits. Then, out of the other side of their mouths, they talked about what a great symbol of morality this unwed, teenager's pregnancy is for those who support the pro-life "movement."

So, for a few minutes, everything at the Labor Day family get together was rainbows and kittens until I asked this question of my family:
