Al Gore, Max Cleland, Fritz Mondale, John Kerry - have in common what?
How many blatant steals are needed to convince the democrats that
" it's the voting stupid?"

5. Well, actually, in "voting" I included purging, intimidation, long lines
AND counting. May not be perfect, but the miscounting is only part of it.
Not everyone was able to spend 10 hours in line. Some received misleading, intimidating literature. In Aroizona, police descended in black, mexican precincts and simply chased voters away, closing precincts. No votes to be counted there.

6. I'm starting to think nothing will be done about this until we steal one
from them. I'm certainly not advocating that, but the Democrats - at least on the surface - are in denial. The media happily repeats WH talking points while all but Olbermann eagerly sweep the mess under the rug. Sadly, I'm starting to think the only way this will get any attention is if we make them understand that hacking works both ways. The RW would be in the streets right now if the situation were reversed.

7. That military service only counts if you're a Republican.
And if you are a Democrat that has a military record, and you are running against a Republican that has absolutely no military record (or perhaps a shameful one), it DOUBLE doesn't count.

You just highlighted the major difference.

11. Totally agree - should be the NUMBER ONE ISSUE
Screw this 'coming together' and soul searching crap. Democrats won the last election only to have it stolen.

Until we get a fair ballot box, nobody gets elected.

Period.
