>I truly believe that those of this mindset can do things that are "wrong" and not feel that they have done anything wrong because it is serving some "higher" purpose. ex - "It's Ok to hide those Bush ballots because Al gore is the good guy and I'm just being a patriot to save our country" :-)

Then it must be far easier for Republicans to sling about unsubstantiated barbs about their opponents. I mean just look at all the radio talk show hosts supporting the Republican right. < gd&rrrr >
