I just realized this country is in mass denial.

Listening to tv-guide channel:

"How long would we have to wait to find out the new president? Just until the next morning, it turned out. No hanging chads, no recounts, just a day for democracy, like it should be."

WTF???????????

I hadn't realized until now, how much this country wants to believe 2000 was a fluke, a one time deal, an anomaly. To believe we live in a country where there is systematic election fraud as a way of life? No thanks...

It's EXACTLY identical to the denial of a battered wife, who wants desperately to believe it won't happen again. Or the battered child who splits off because living with the acceptance/recognition of the abuse they are enduring would be too much to bear, instead, it's "But that is NOT happening, because I don't live in that kind of family/country."

The repukes are just getting better at stealing, if this election proves anything at all, it's that they LEARNED alot from their mistakes last time.
