<scream> Ok, this is just totally 100% driving me NUTS.
Dino Rossi just had a press conference where he introduced the parents of a soldier over in Iraq. The soldier didn't get his absentee ballot until 3 days after the election and thinking it was too late, he throws the ballot away. Ooops...overseas (submarine) ballots in King County only need to be recieved by the day before certification (this year Nov 16th) and not postmarked by the 2nd. So, had he sent it in anyway, it would have counted, presuming it was recieved by Nov 16th.
Now of course, the ballot was sent out October 8th and who knows the hell why it took so long for the ballot to get to him and yes it's too bad he didn't get it in time and yes it's TOO FRICKING BAD HE DIDN'T KNOW THE RULES. Ok, so he's a soldier and he is risking his life for our country, true. BUT AGAIN, HE DIDN'T KNOW THE RULES.
Does this sound familiar? Do you rememeber something called "Florida 2000". Remember all the disenfranchised voters who voted with that f'd up butterfly ballot and voted for Buchanan instead of Gore and how the Republicans said "too bad they didn't read the rules" or "if they can't read they shouldn't be allowed to vote" and that kind of crap.
And now THEY are whining over the same exact thing...
I think my BP just hit 200/140, I better go to the hospital and check in, I think I am going crazy!!! I can not believe the idiotic hypocrisy and whining with the rethugs...GET OVER IT, YOU LOST, GO HOME.
</end of scream>
