56. Get a grip.
Why don't we just pick up guns and take the country by force then? We can sit and play "voter fraud" tell hell freezes over but it doesn't make it true. I've been reading some responses on this forum, particularly about the South, and I can tell you we lost this HONESTLY. We need REFORM, not whining.

Where is our next Clinton? Where are the true leaders?

It's time to quit whining and start analyzing WHY we lost. Many of you don't want to hear this, but, we need to become more mainstream----we need to go back to our historical roots.

I do believe there's been a covert fraud perpetrated on the American people. How or Where? I don't know.. I hope someone has the unbridled diligence required to figure out how it was done.

14. This should NOT stop the counting. There are many votes left in OH and FL
to count. Plus, states like Wyoming have clearly padded their vote totals since they had more people vote than were registered.. so I want an investigation and the apporopriate adjustments made to the pop. vote!

30. Obviously they took time to analyze it
and saw that there was no way folks. In that situation Kerry would not have had much support from the rest of the party. Don't fight what can't be won.


I hope I am not upsetting anyone with this cause I really appreciate everyone at DU and all the hard work. We will continue to fight of course but this battle is over.

Dean would have been a much better candidate than Kerry. The press sunk Dean and everyone went along with it believing in ABB.

As long as the compressed primaries are in place, the press and the DNC will decide the Democratic nominee - not the people!
