2. I want Gore or Kerry

8. Read this...and cry

DeLay may be (almost) gone, but how long and how much will we continue to pay for all the years of his corruption. God only knows.

<http://www.thenation.com/blogs/thebeat?bid=1&pid=74062>

Edit to add snip:



On the Wednesday before Thanksgiving 2000, when the eyes of the nation were fixed on the Stephen P. Clark Government Center in downtown Miami, where a Dade County canvassing board was reviewing 10,750 uncounted ballots in Florida's disputed presidential contest between Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush, a riot orchestrated by DeLay's top aides and allies and carried out by Republican operatives flown in from Washington stopped the count. In so doing, DeLay's Izod-clad minions assured that the Bush campaign's Florida co-chair, Katherine Harris, would, in her capacity as secretary of state, be able to certify a 537-vote "win" for the Republican when the recount deadline arrived. It was that certification that allowed Florida Governor Jeb Bush to sign a Certificate of Ascertainment designating twenty-five Florida electors pledged to his brother. The paperwork was immediately transferred to the National Archives, where it would eventually be cited by the US Supreme Court in its decision to award the Florida electoral votes, and with them the presidency, to Bush.

DeLay's role in the recount, though little reported and even now little understood outside the inner circles of the Republican and Democratic parties, was definitional.

Furious that the Florida Supreme Court had on November 21, 2000, ordered a real recount of disputed ballots in the race that would decide the presidency, the House Republican leader had issued a statement that declared: "I hope this misguided ruling will be vigorously challenged."

DeLay was not making an idle threat. He was delivering marching orders to the troops in his war on democracy.

11. I will always consider the Miami Riot
the first day of the coup.



It might be a fun thread to do a 'where are they now' story?

4. I think we should take care of his butt once he's out of office.. Then we
can properly investigate him and his cronies and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. No chance of a pardon. Straight to Gitmo for that gang.

5. No tinfoil necessary
This is yet another issue that has gone far beyond anything one might label a "conspiracy theory." And I believe you are right. If the whole fraud is exposed, then we might look quite a bit different to the world.

This has been one of my pet peeves in this whole Bush misadministration... we USED to be so respected. You can't very well expect the world to respect a pile of crap. BushCo = Crap

6. They couldn't have done it without gaining control of most media FIRST.
They get to call the shots on what becomes a "conspriracy theory" to the media.

9. I know - I'm so embarrassed to be an American now.
I was working in Europe and had to deal with their confusion on why anyone cared if the President had an affair - we were so naive and provincial! I'm sure they REALLY hate us now!!! It's like the teenage bully runs the neighborhood!!

13. the RotW already knows, it's the US with the almost total news blackout
I'd like to see Bush Jr. & Cheney removed from office ASAP because they are totally unfit for office, it would also make the world a much safer place.
