I only wonder what his reaction would be to reading Andy B. Hammond’s plans (Missoulian, April 25) to subvert the primary election in Montana. He “calls for chaos” (that’s the Letter!) by asking Republicans to vote as Democrats in the June presidential primary so that the race between Hillary and Barack will not be decided until late, thereby giving McCain an edge. He’s got a right to do that. But what galls me is the dishonor with which he taints this great patriotic process. It furthers the notion that politicians will lie, cheat and steal the elections from “we the people.”
What kind of message does this send to our kids? It’s OK to cheat just so we can win? We live in a society where teenage girls beat each other and post the footage on YouTube as if it were so much entertainment. And other teenage girls steal Girl Scout cookie money right off the table at the supermarket and then get pissed off when they get caught, saying they went to a lot of trouble to get the money. They apparently don’t know right from wrong.
