Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 11:38 PM by bigskydem
I am having that strange feeling I had the days just before and the months immediately following the beginning of the IRAQ war. HELPLESS.
The MEDIA are steamrolling *'s second term, a MANDATE has been declared, and all I see is gloat, gloat, gloat.
It is chilling.

"leadership".
You are right, they are suppressing the outrage, but it's there. Simmering under pressure and ready to blow.

4. it ain't a done deal til the Electoral College meets . . . |
|
and there seem to be a lot of outraged people working on it . . . it's not over yet . . . and even if we can't win this, we can certainly diminish their credibility (and their "mandate") by exposing ALL of the election fraud and Republican dirty tricks . . .
