We May Lose the Entire War and Not Just one Battle

[BayStateBoy]

The history of democratic voting is the history of recounts and the ability to have tangible ballots upon which to do same.

Kerry evidently didn't want to put the nation through another recount experience specifically in Ohio. Nice, but lethal, never mind putting the nation through another 4 years of asshole?

We're letting Bush and the media spin and snow this thing into one big fait accompli.

I think we should have unleashed the teams of lawyers in Ohio and probably FL as well instead of letting it all get snowed. Doing that after each state, presumably, finishes counting will be too little too late.

We let them kill us. They are doing this with our collective permission.

If we don't as a party take a stand on voter integrity, or the absence thereof, in some of these states and do it now, I doubt there will be any recovery possible given the machinery of voting.

1. It's lost. Air America sex: "we lost cuz of too much sex on teevee"

In fact, they incorporated in the news what Joe Klein spouted - unchallenged on Morning Sedition - coming via Andrew Sullivan.
In fact, those in need of a simple explanation should check post # 38 on faun Otter's thread. It's a picture. Sez it all

2. I predict that within a short while, the reThugs will back to their

old habit of pre 11/02/04. Chimp's* version of tax reform, medicare reform, social security reform, etc. I believe we are in for 4 heavily harrowing years! And we will be hepless to stop them especially since the corporate media is aligned with them. I am sorry to be so pessimistic about it all.

3. We let them kill us.

When did the people of the United States take a vote and determine that black box voting was,
(a) preferrable
(b) desireable
(c) reasonable
(d) legal
(e) just
(f) constitutional
(g) going to see the next election cycle??

4. We have already lost, my friend.

Tuesday was the final blade to the heart.

The biggest voter turnout since 1968, and now many of those voters won't even bother to come back in '06 or '08 because, well, our own candidate quit before the counting was done.

"John Kerry, reporting for duty" ??
Going AWOL in the face of battle is more like it.
