"It is not fair to our state and its citizens, when the losing party – I don't care which party it is – who cannot be persuasive through the ballot box runs like little children to federal or state judges and, in football terms, gets them to order our General Assembly to move the goalposts because they're dissatisfied with the outcome," said Wayne R. Boyles III, of Pinehurst, a one-time aide to the late U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms.

Jesse Helms - now that is a legendary name in Racial Politics!

The GOP's opinion on all of this is invalid. They committed their crime and did rather well with it; time to stop blaming others for finding cookie crumbs on their faces and an empty cookie jar after rants of "I didn't do it!".

And a warning - you damned Dems better not try the same crap!
