And so they did.
And not only that, they also stole the election 2000. Luckily, George Bush was awarded the Nobel War Prize, else he would have been robbed totally.
This is from a
rightwing blog right before the election 2004. Just exactly where the flaw appear which leads to the thought process going awry is unclear, but I suspect it comes from reading Spoons blog too much. We will never know, Spoons blog is gone. But Paul seems to quote other bloggers a lot. As you can clearly detect from this
screendump of a blogger quoting another blogger, posted at an internet board, this has strongly influenced on his ability to predict election results, or predict anything at all maybe.
In a political environment where swift changes in public support due to controversial revelations often makes the road from hero to zero short and unsweet, I'm pretty sure about one thing though: the Democrats didn't coup the 2004 election. The election result has stood the test of time; Bush
has been the president for the last years, I can't have dreamed that up. And if anybody was swindled out of the 2004 election win, it was John Kerry. And he's a Democrat. I just checked. To be sure, you know. That's two bankers - hard-hitting undeniable facts no one ever can question. Not even Spoons! But he will try...
At a time when the visibility of Democrats abroad is higher than ever -- you have Al Gore in Norway for the Nobel award and John Kerry in Bali, trying to make the US not look totally shitty on environmental politics -- the Democrats are accused of supporting TORTURE back home. No less. 'Look Norway, the Democrats aren't so peaceful' 'Look Bali, Democrats support torture'
And that's what were talking about, all day. It has to be addressed AT ONCE, because Spoons is seething with rage, and Paul, well, he just follows the crowd.
The very day a Democrat receives the Peace prize, the Dems are accused of sponsoring torture. Gone are news about these two very fine representatives for your country -- both happens to be the victim of the aforementioned faulty elections, btw -- drowned in smear so cheap and disgusting that it looks like a hate fest here. Imagine, a day when the DU should be partying because of these events, focusing on the message of these events, instead we spend it on hanging Democrats in threads void of criticism of Republicans.
All because of one WaPo article.
Peace DU'ers, you need it :-)
