Maybe we should all just give up.....
on trying to convince the more moderate to conservative elements of the Democratic Party that election fraud is worth pursuing, and focus more on the moderate to liberal elements of the Republicans and Independents. Frankly, I never thought I'd see the day where so many Republicsns would turn against Rumsfeld.

4. Actually, I think a lot of Republicans are naturally pretty cynical.
They have a tendency to see the worst in people. It's not hard for them to imagine that something as disgusting as fraud could happen.

Some Dems (won't name names) are entirely too idealistic for their own good.

They think even B* is a decent human.

5. All this stuff whether you personally want to focus on it or...
something else will come to a head. R is just a fall guy for the moment. They need to blame someone. He's a good choice, he's a fool.

6. Many of the moderate to conservative elements of the party...
were like me and wanted Wes Clark as the nominee. And NO!!, nobody should give up. While I truly believe that if Kerry's campaign had been managed differently, the election would have been a landslide it does not forgive the dirty "Cult of W" bastards for stealing it because it was close.

Where there's smoke there's fire my friend, somethings gonna break someday and everybody needs to pursue the issue.

9. Good response....
eventhough I'm somewhat skeptical of Clark. I'm trying to make the election fraud effort a "big tent" effort. A huge tent/fortress that will withstand assaults from neocons and DLC alike.
