Its the Voting Stupid ! Blogged by John Conyers,Jr.

Amidst the daily drone of scandals steadily engulfing the Bush Administration, we cannot ever lose sight of the fact that at the end of the day, its the voting -- and the voting "irregularties" -- that counts. We learned that in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004. That is why it is so important that the courts strike down the voter ID requirement passed in Georgia and elsewhere that would blatantly discriminate against minorities, seniors and poor voters.

And we can't forget what happened in 2002. With control of the Senate at stake, a GOP operative went about to jam Democratic phones lines, stifling the get out the vote effort, and potentially tipping the balance in a close election in a critical state to the GOP. Now we know that the same GOP operative was calling the White House on repeated and numerous occasions on election day. That is why on Friday, I asked DOJ to appoint a special counsel to deal with this matter, which presents a conflict of interest. Its clearly called for, but the Justice Department has not appointed a single "official" special counsel during their entire Administraton (Fitzgerald is not a full-fledged special counsel). No response yet, but it is important that we do not let the principal of accountability and respect for the law wither.

4. This is also why we cannot nominate Gore, Kerry, Hillary, or anyone...
...else that refuses to acknowledge the reality of the stolen elections.

No one that refuses to own up to their own failure to stand and object can be considered.

To demand less (to forget) is to become complicit ourselves.

Yes, it's just that simple.
