Wisconsin recently went to the polls to decide who would represent their Party in November. At least that’s what’s supposed to happen in a primary election. But that day, the first major primary after SuperTuesday, after Republicans narrowed to the field to one candidate, something far more insidious and destructive happened. In large numbers, Republican voters "decided" to mischief-vote for Hillary because she might be easier to beat in November!

Yep, these days that’s Republican for Democracy—win at any cost, screw the will of the people, lie, cheat, steal —whatever it takes to keep in office. Oh, and do it wrapped in a flag wearing your lapel-pin with your hand cross your heart, mouthing the words to the national anthem.

Hypocrites! Wisconsin Republicans, following WTMJ radio host Charlie Sykes' scheme to destabilize the democratic process (alright I'm giving Sykes too much credit) chose to be as unethical as the very leadership we have all grown to dislike.

SO the question is, just because its not illegal to spoil the will of the people and cheat on your right to vote, don't you find it morally, ethically and patriotically wrong to cheat the nation out of its Constitutional right to elect the government of its majority? Did our grandparents use an unwritten code of conduct, ethic... a moral standard or did they need laws and rules to govern every action they could possibly do?

Is it any wonder our nation is in the condition it is? Economically strapped, divided ideologically and financially, acting like an imperial aggressor, condoning treason, torture, spying, kidnapping and gross human rights abuses on a global scale, this cancer that permeates our government has now spread down to its citizens.

Today as many Wisconsinites took "hot-showers" to cleanse from their mischief-vote, they began the practice in this election of undermining the will of the people and Democracy itself. Transforming the vote into a game like Fear-Factor or the Apprentice—win at any cost, damn the rules or ethical behavior, Democracy has been turned into a phoney pay-per-view wrestling sideshow event.

Sure it has been done before... historically more often and effectively by GOP voters-look it up- but today, as we all seem to object to the corruption in government, how can we justify condoning it through our actions?

Democracy is not a game. Our right to vote is not to be treated with such disrespect. The right to vote is our most sacred institution yet we treat it like a street beggar. Ask any foreigner what they admire most about the US... it is our right to vote. Freedom to choose.

Even though mischief voting Wisconsin Republicans stole delegates from Obama, the fact that he still handed Hillary a considerable defeat, speaks volumes about the will of the people. Do you think the cancerous practice of cross-voting should be denounced by our media, or condoned?

Are you alright with people becoming accomplices in the corruption we all despise in our government? Would our great-grandparents be proud of our behavior?
