Republicans CERTAIN we wouldn't contest another election
After 2000, they were certain we would simply shut up, we wouldn't be viewed as sore losers again. That's why they stole so big and Kerry conceded so fast.

The evidence is out there for anyone who's willing to see it, Florida, Ohio, New Mexico. The discrepancy in the exit polls versus actual results ONLY in places with no paper trails, blatant fraud in districts showing more votes than actual registered voters. PLUS a President with Bush's low approval ratings getting this fantastic amount of votes, etc etc. I am not upset like in 2000, because I knew for months that this illegitimate government would NEVER let power go, they would do everything to stay, there was too much a stake for them.

What I do get upset about is seeing DUers accepting this a Bush 'decisive' victory, a 'moral values' victory and that we should connect 'better' with those values, shunning gays, blacks and pro-choice liberals. To me, these people are just as dangerous are the evangelical nutbags in the red states.

For what to do, join the Grand Refusal Coalition:

2. I'm just suprised they went through the motions of an election.
Next time they probably won't even bother.

11. This time they had to to consolidate their base. Next time
elections will be eliminated. The next four years is plenty of time for the liberal cleansing to take place.

3. I think that the Dems did not have any other option but
to STFU. This election had to be seen to be both decisive and uncontested. The UN had so see, and so did the ME - the US can show that they are capable of holding VALID elections in Iraq in January...this was a good way to do it...wondering if there are other political considerations on the table, or just the good of the nation?

4. Wow, so you are saying democracy was hijacked in the US...

8. too late though
I felt so sorry for those DU posters before the election getting so upset over the polls or over Kerry's tactics. They were actually thinking there was going to be a real election!!

15. Well, they're definitely DUers,
how "real" they are is perhaps a matter of dispute. But they're not TOMBSTONED DUers. And there were/are plenty of them, too.

17. There are the naive who agree to everything,
Edited on Mon Nov-08-04 07:09 PM by Cleita
but there are still freepers here with large post counts who have managed to fly under the radar. One in particular, who usually surfaces only when SS, Medicare and Roe vs Wade are discussed, came in after Kerry conceded to rub a little salt in our wounds. He just never goes too far, so that you can alert on him, and he has alerted on me after baiting me and making me mad, so I tread very carefully with him. But rest assured they are here and they are not true DU'ers.

Sending you a PM.

18. Yeah, it isn't like Kerry didn't win.
He won, they stole it from him. We were right and reforming the party is not needed or wanted. We need to hold to our values.
