Grim, I didn’t hear Rushbo complaining about the Florida vote going to Bush, nor Junior being appointed by the Supreme Court, nor the fraud in the Ohio counting in 2004, but I’ll leave that aside.

I hard this morning that this election Florida has dumped the EVS and will be going to simple paper ballots, as well as several other states. I agree with Jim, the votes should be counted accurately, and let the chips, or chads, fall where they may.

BTW, Grim, you are too worthy to mow Rush’s lawn — and clip his hedges — but bring along some proof of citizenship.

Sir, I’m glad you agree. I’ve been grumping about this since 2000, and so has the epitome of conservatism His Most Wonderfulness (he who’s lawn I’m not worthy to mow) Rush Limbaugh.
The idea that libs have been the only ones upset about this shows you may have been insulating yourself from the gleaming beauty of conservatism.
As a conservative I’d try to talk in terms of solutions rather than just whining – therefore my little writeup. Hope you enjoyed it.
It is absolutely rediculous that we, in this information age, don’t have clean elections.
Thanks for the return comment, Grimmy

Grim – This is certainly an area we can find some common ground – working towards a fair election system. Without fair elections we just don’t know who really was the choice of the people and everything else becomes meaningless.

It is ironic to me that the right now starts to make it an issue when it appears they are going to get their butts kicked.

On the left we’ve been screaming about straightening out the full-of-holes voting system since December 12, 2000 when Chucklenuts was coronated by the Supremes. We all know that more people intended to vote for Al Gore in Florida in 2000. From butterfly ballots to the tens of thousands of voters illegally wiped off the rolls by Jeb and Harris and everything inbetween, it is quite clear Al Gore won Florida and the Presidency of the United States.

We advocated the voting issue in 2000, 2002 and 2004 and yet no one on either side of the aisle thought it was enough of an issue to actually do something of significance about it. There was rigging in ’06 as well and if it hadn’t been for the Republican collapse because of the Mark Foley revelations the Repubs would still be in power.

Unfortunately what’s done is done but we’ve been screaming for 7 #$@#$# years about this (and I’m not talking about the contrived voter ID BULL$@$# currently before the Supreme (ha) court.)
