<p>I love Mulshine, garland. He always responds to e-mails if you are so inclined. </p>
<p>CGM: Have you EVER read a Paul Mulshine column in your life? You couldn’t possibly be familiar with his work, or you would not have made such an uninformed statement.</p>
<p>Well, Mulshine has disliked Bush from day one, but he kept voting for him.</p>
<p>SS–I’ve written to him in my head many times, mostly because he doesn’t get Bruce–misunderstands him entirely–but never sent one. Maybe I will one day.</p>
<p>They only scream ‘fraud’ if they lose. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>If they win, obviously everyone is properly enfranchised and rights have been protected. You see, they have been blessed with the genetic right to power. Lesser beings (such as Republicans) are not so blessed and must obviously commit fraud or trample precious rights when they win. Such error must be quickly identified and stamped out…it’s only fair, you understand. ;)</p>
<p>Democrats calling ‘fraud’ is really only code for an expression of a loser’s sour grapes.</p>
<p>fraud did happen, yes, but more importantly, voter intimidation by republicans on many levels</p>
<p>I think that becuase so many people were watching the machines, and paying attention, and voters were aware, it was tougher to do what happened in Ohio, also, I think in some cases, the Dems probably had a stronger lead that that people didn’t count on, so the “adjustments” made weren’t enough</p>
<p>I mean Bush, well he was so confident he didn’t do the politically smarth thing and have Rumsfeld resign before to show yeah, he does see there is a problem, but he was blindsided…he was in true shock today and very much off his game</p>
<p>and now you have Republicans between a rock and a hard place, can’t ask for a recount because to do so would be to admit the machines are not perfect…ah, what have the Repub and Conserv said, well, don’t be sore losers, you lost…</p>
<p>He’d be outta Iraq yesterday; he also does not cotton to social programs. Basically, he’d cut and cut. LIke I said, we don’t see eye to eye on lots of things.</p>
