The paranoia of the Dems
The Dallas Morning News analyzes Democrat conspiracy theories:
"Impeachment. The Florida recount. The California recall. Redistricting in Texas. Some of President Bush's critics say they see a pattern of Republicans using courts, legislative power and other maneuvers to overturn election results.
"'An attack on American democracy' is the allegation lodged by former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, a presidential contender who met with Texas Senate Democrats during their recent sojourn to New Mexico.
"The only pattern is paranoia, Republicans counter, arguing that Democrats want only to shift attention away from the shortcomings of Mr. Clinton, Al Gore, California Gov. Gray Davis and the Texas Democrats who fled the state to deny a quorum to GOP legislators seeking to redraw congressional districts.
"'They seem to prefer to blame it on a nonexistent conspiracy rather than taking responsibility for their actions,' said Christine Iverson, spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee.
"Political analysts said few voters take the conspiracy theories seriously, and perhaps the candidates don't either. But voicing the allegations serves another purpose, particularly for Democrats seeking the presidential nomination: They rev up the party's most passionate supporters."
