56. Don't jump to conclusions!
To those who are sure Mike 'abandoned' us: look at how active he's been in the last YEARS. Leading up to and even during the election he was all gung-ho about not letting the Repugs take advantage of voters. Instead of trying to understand why he 'sold us out', why not start by assuming that since he's been such a reliable fighter for the liberals for so long, there MUST be something up for him to act so weird now, so suddenly.

Think about it - it's like the Repugs saying that since the exit polls didn't match the results, the POLLS must be wrong(!) Why not trust the polls - which have been accurate for years - and ask why the RESULTS are skewed?
Same with Moore - since he's clearly always been on our side and a huge loud-mouth, it's REALLY hard to believe he wouldn't be the loudest anti-Bush voice *especially* after this election - and so we should be asking why he's not himself now. I think (and I've said it on other threads) that either he's onto something big, and laying low for now (on purpose), OR he's scared out of his mind because he was threatened to lay off the election-fraud coverage. Or he was kidnapped and given a lobotomy (One Flew Over...!).

Don't assume you know what's going on, guys. I think something's brewing, or he's been broken by fear. Even a local paper here in Europe mentioned that Moore claimed to have evidence the election was stolen. I don't know where they got that statement, but his (and Kerry's) silence has certainly been deafening.

Honestly though - I think both Moore AND Kerry know more than we do, and whatever their strategy, they're doing it for a reason. With Kerry it's harder to be sure, since his politcal position might complicate matters, but with Moore it's not so hard to see that something very strange is going on. Let's try and be patient - and NOT flood Moore with stupid emails about what a loser he is. That's just lame. He deserves much better than that.
