Boxer and Jones Deserve Credit, Not Scorn

[kerrygoddess]

The Boston Globe says "fix the problems"... "Boxer, Jones deserve credit, not scorn for advancing a cause fundamental to the union."

Ballot Box Basics

POLITICS OUTWEIGHED policy in yesterday's congressional debate on voting irregularities in the presidential election. But those who objected to the partisanship will serve themselves and the nation better if they stop scrapping and take the steps needed -- some of them obvious -- to fix the problems.

2. That will be the one article in 1000 that will take that point of view.

Most of the Mainstream media will attack Boxer and the Reps as conspiracy nuts and left-wing loonies who are trying to 'disrupt' the election process. They just vomit back the talking points they are fed by the White House.

The Election's Last Gasp

Published: January 7, 2005

Congressional Democrats staged an unusual protest yesterday when Senator Barbara Boxer of California and Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Ohio objected to certifying the results of the 2004 election. Supporters of the defeated (and absent) John Kerry then spent two hours making speeches, most of which began with the declaration that George W. Bush had definitely won.

It could not have been a totally satisfactory afternoon for the president's angry supporters or for the conspiracy theorists who still believe that Bush operatives managed to steal Ohio's electoral votes. The final count showed that Mr. Bush had won the state by more than 100,000 votes, and the Democrats who rose to complain about the process prefaced their remarks by saying things like "the irregularities in Ohio would not have overturned the results."

3. Indeed they do deserve praise and support.

My hat's off to both of them.

Maybe a Boxer-Stubbs ticket is worth considering for 2008.

Love 'em both.

7. There's a thought

Don't know how well it would play to the middle of the road voters, but a lot of liberals would jump on board.
