Who can tell? Reminds me of the kid who wants to keep playing Monopoly until he wins.

A Win for Morality
January 7th, 2005 11:49 pm
In Defeat, a Victory?

From the Newsweek article by Daren Briscoe:
Quote:
The Dems' latest challenge of the 2004 election result may have seemed futile. But those involved see it as a win for morality


Pulling out the race card.
Quote:
21 of the 31 House votes cast in its favor came from CBC members. The civil-rights era is a touchstone for many CBC members, and the protection of voting rights remains one of their premier concerns. Long before Election Day, caucus members worried that some blacks might be disenfranchised, and some spent months involved in voter-education and voter-turnout drives.


Next agenda item is to change the constitution to suit the Rep. from Illinois.
Quote:
Illinois Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. said that the problems are rooted in a system that allows each state, county and electoral jurisdiction to set its own Election Day rules. “We keep having these problems because our voting system is built on the constitutional foundation of ‘states’ rights’—50 states, 3,067 counties and 13,000 different election jurisdictions, all separate and unequal,” Jackson said.

Maybe Jesse Jr. has a point. Almost all of the areas that the cbc is claiming voters were disenfranchised in are run by democrats. Turning over the authority to a republican congress might just solve their problems. Wink

I hope the libs never quit challanging election results and continue insisting on efficient and clean elections. It has not sunk in to them yet that when that happens it makes it harder for them to cheat. The tighter the election process the better.......Witness the elections of 2002 and 2004 after the fuss they made about the 2000 elections. They won more elections then they deserved to win in the past because of gaps and weaknesses in the process. I smile while watching them sactimoniously deprive themselves of what was once one of their electoral advantages; cheating.

As Rush observed (I wish I had his brain) in 2000 the loser Dems whinned that the Electoral College should be done away with 'cause their man lost that but won the popular vote however in 2004, the same loser Dems are now whinning about the popular vote 'cause their man only lost the Electoral College. News to Dems: W won the popular vote by 3.5 million, won every state electorally that he won last time AND gained a few to boot so cry those eyes out Barbra Boxer! Twisted Evil

Dubya won NH in 2000, but lost it in 2004.

Any others?
