Another Election Rant
This election thing is getting stale. I have to admit, I was playing devil's
advocate by supporting Bush. Actually, I'm pretty much non-partisan.
These Democrats are pissing me off though. With their f*ckin' dimpled ballots
and their lawsuits and the ridiculous footage on CNN of ballot counters
holding the ballots up to the light, squinting, turning it over, showing it
to five other people, talking it over... if you can't figure it out after all
that, THERE WAS NO INTENT. What the hell are you looking for?
Statistically, how can there be huge net gains after counting dimpled ballots?
Given the almost 50/50 split of voters, neither Bush nor Gore should have many
more dimpled votes than the other. So Palm Beach, with a difference of 7 votes
is reasonable. How the hell does Broward County get 536 votes for Gore? OK,
that might include non-dimpled, hanging chads, etc... I don't know. I've lost
track of what exactly they're counting in these recounts. My point is, dimpled
ballots should not make the ultimate difference in this election if several
hundred votes separate the two candidates.
"But Republicans are suing too!" It's true, they could certainly
claim a higher moral ground by not contesting and just sending their representatives
to insure that the count is "fair" and "accurate" (read:
free of fraud). That would really highlight the morass of empty political rhetoric,
crap, that keeps spewing forth from the mouths of the Democratic spokespeople.
Read Salon, half the quote will be about
the recount, then mid-sentence, the Democratic spokesperson will switch into
"the nation" and "the people", and it's all junior-high
BS. Please, at least learn to segue into the BS. It's not right for the Republicans
to drag this sh*t through the courts any longer, but the way I see it, the Republicans
are taking a defensive position, while the Democratic Party's actions are indefensible.
Which is why there are no Democratic
fire-breathers ready to do battle for Gore. Only the liberal press is left
to whine and moan on Gore's behalf. It's sickening how biased the press is.
Of course, Gore has to win now. He's dragged it out this long, it wouldn't
be right if he didn't win. He needs to justify all this spent time and energy.
He cannot lose face. Desperation sets in. So it will continue. I thought
the Sore/Loserman signs were funny at first, clever even. What's scary is those
signs are turning out true.
Let's just split the country right in two, why don't we? Gore should attack
the vote in Florida and try and have its electoral votes thrown out. I'm staying
in Hong Kong if that happens.
I really didn't care before who won the election, but now, I realize
Gore is not fit to be President.
