Political threesomes......Oh Myyyy

Being Canadian and French Canadian at that, we have to say: who doesn't love a menage-a-trois once in awhile?  Well, Allen "War Criminal" West doesn't seem to but, then again, considering his penchant of being completely ignorant of how fun some things can be, we aren't entirely surprised.

Here we have our intrepid 'war criminal' tweeting his best whine over the election results in Virginia. You see, Virginia was supposed to vote in Ken "The Cooch" Cuccinelli, the Republican candidate for Governor.......it didn't happen. No, the winner was Democrat Terry McAuliffe......and boy are the right wing and Republicans pissed.  You see, normally the U.S. races are between two people, the way god intended but, in the race for Governor, there was a third candidate in play, one Robert Sarvis.  This, of course, upset the aforementioned god intended two way race, thus causing a split in the vote.  The result was a win for the Democrats.  

Cue the accusations of voter fraud, vote fixing, lies and other assorted sour grapes lamentations.  And not to be outdone in the whine department, our friend Allen contributes a fine bouquet of 'WAH' with a hint of 'Boo-Hoo.'  To him, this display of multiple participants in democracy was too much; so much so that, he now believes that the U.S. is doomed.  The elections will never again be free and honest.  All because a third party candidate ran.  But, wait a minute, somethings not right here.  Back in the 20th century, there was another election (2000), a presidential election.  In that election, there was a Republican (GWBush), a Democrat (AGore) and the Green Party (Ralph Nader).  In that election, Nader became, what is believed to be, the spoiler for what many thought was a slam dunk for Al Gore.  History tells a different story and, not surprisingly, the Republicans hailed it as a victory....the Democrats were unhappy about Nader but not once did they claim elections would no longer be free and honest.  No, the hyperbole of people like Allen, for the most part, seems unique to the right wing entities of U.S. politics.......see the Tea Party for more information.

Anyway, the TTM is having none of it and dutifully provides a historical prism in which to gaze through, thus correcting Allen's demented fictions.
