42. The fact that recounts were not demanded

smacks of a smugness that is one reason that salt of the earth folk claim to despise liberals in general.

Why do they collect all these moneys in donations, but cannot spring for a recount here and or there?

The writing was on the wall when the Brooks Bro mob and the Supreme Court stole the presidency for Bush.

We have been on an obvious trajectory since.

Thank goodness for DU. But, I sincerely think that we need to be planning on how to govern when we are simply a federation of states. Because I see no future (other than disaster) in being ground into oblivion by these hateful creeps.

The Democratic Party continues to underestimate the strength and will that these people have to take down the federal system and to use whatever is left of it to cudgel liberals of any and all kinds. Why everyone cannot see this obvious goal, I just do not get.
