Look, it's not like we didn't know this was going to happen

We all new this election would be corrupt, fixed, and * would try to steal it. This wasn´t a tinfoil conspiracy--otherwise why would Kerry recruit a fleet of lawyers?

Conceing defeat at this point, with millions of votes still not counted is no better than whorish CNN and Fox news who are calling the election as a voter suppression tactic, despite the fact that people ARE STILL VOTING AT THE POLLS in Ohio and that Iowa may be recounted. Even so, CNN is reading emails from people urging Kerry to concede, just "to get it over with." In 2000 we had a president-elect who gave up the fight, even as we hoped against hope for weeks. This year the Democrats are not giving up until every vote is counted. Why the hell should we? The Kerry campaign has the money and the infrastructure to challenge the corrupt results. This is not Al Gore as King Arthur at the Yankee Court. Hundreds of thousands of votes have not been counted yet. I for one am not ready to hand over the country to the Apocalyptic neocons for round two.

Yes, what is happening is disgusing, but WE EXPECTED IT. KERRY IS READY FOR IT AND SO ARE WE. don't give up, reading about DU-ers giving up is depressing me more than the expected media antics.

1. It bothers me that the media is MUM on voter GOP dirty tricks...

.. blows me away that no one is reporting the flyers, the phone calls, the lawsuits, the challenges, the fact that the rich republican areas were given much more resources to vote...

2. but that was expected too

it bothers me too, but it's not a surprise. It's still not a reason to give up yet.

3. You're correct.

Thanks for posting this thought.
We should all keep remembering this-it is * after all!

NO CONCESSION! Count the votes.
