Reply #233: Stolen [View All]

Although I'm open to the possibility that they tried to steal it but without the theft efforts it was unneccessary. However, he who TRIES to steal is still a thief in my book.

The more I examine the numbers, though, the more I'm becoming convinced that without the theft efforts they would not have won it.

For heaven's sake, we knew that they were trying to steal for years. All the voter supression, intimidation, those phoney felon rolls in Florida... after all the other shananigans, illegal war, Plame outing, Halliburton and on and on... can one REALLY believe that they would settle for a clean election with Repub unverifiable voting machines with a back door and a double set of books? One would have to cling like glue to blind faith and "it can't happen in America" style love of country to really believe that they didn't at the very least TRY to steal it.

I think a lot of people are just in denial at the moment of discovery.

Imagine that you have a kid who you love, but you also have a family pet who you know your kid doesn't like, has tortured the pet in the past, has wished the family had no pet, doesn't like anyone else's pet, and you come home one day to find your kid covered with blood holding a bloody knife in one hand and the severed leg of the family pet in the other with the corpse of the family pet lying at his feet. In that moment, for love of your kid you may not want to believe that your kid really did kill the family pet despite the evidence.

I think that's where a lot of people are right now... denial at the moment of discovery.

It's incredibly painful to finally arrive at the conclusion that your love and pride of country has been betrayed, and I think it's normal to go through a period of denial in an attempt to preserve that love and pride and not have to feel the anger, depression and pain that are sure to come by arriving at that conclusion. Some people will never arrive at that conclusion no matter what the evidence because they'll not be able to face that anger, depression and pain that the truth is sure to bring.

What I find interesting is that people who truly believe that there is nothing amiss will go out of their way to examine the evidence and ask the hard questions in order to prove that their belief is not misplaced and to exhonorate the accused. It is those people that will not really look at the evidence who already know in their heart that their belief was misplaced... they will just parrot "No, no, no, you're wrong" because they already know deep down that if they do examine the evidence and ask the hard questions their blind faith will be shaken and they'll be forced to eventually admit the truth. This is why freepers won't look at facts and just keep parroting, "No, no, no, you're wrong"... they already know deep down that there is something amiss and they cannot/will not face the truth.

This is just another reason why I believe even more so of the ugliness of this administration as well as the overwhelming evidence of vote fraud... there are no Repubs even willing to look at the evidence to try to exhonorate the admin. This is what they have done throughout the Bush reign... they just keep parroting, "No, no, no, you're wrong."
