Hilarious hypocrisy
It’s hilarious to read this on the weblog of a rabid right-winger…
That’s right, stupidity and insanity have joined forces, and they want to waste taxpayer dollars again to do another recount in Ohio…
Enough is enough already. Bush won. Kerry lost. You can count the votes over and over and over and over and over and over and nothing will change that.
(I agree with him, by the way… Bush won and Kerry lost. That result is to be expected when the majority of the votes are cast on machines owned by two companies which are owned by Republicans and the Secretary of State (the man in charge of the election) is a co-chairman of the Bush-Cheney campaign in the state. No amount of recounting is likely to change the outcome.)
and then read this in the Seattle Times…
The night before Washington’s secretary of state was scheduled to certify Democrat Christine Gregoire as the governor-elect, her Republican rival Dino Rossi called for a complete re-do of the longest, closest governor’s race in state history.
Enough is enough already. Gregoire won. Rossi lost.
To paraphase Mr. Rossi: “The uncertainty surrounding this election process isn’t just bad for you and me — it is bad for the entire country. People need to know for sure that the next president actually won the election.”
We will most likely never know for sure.
George W. Bush received 60,608,582 votes in 2000 and 50,456,002 votes in 2004. Given his monumental screw-ups (and outright lies) over the past four years, there is absolutely no way that anybody is ever going to convince me that 10,152,580 more people decided to vote for him in 2004 than in 2000. It simply does not stand the test of reality.
George W. Bush, in my eyes, has never been and will never be the President of the United States.
