This was posted at DU today; I'm comfortable with this responsibility as a Bush supporter. I searched, but did not find it posted yet:
You have won this battle, but not the 'war' .... We are NOT united, and until we see some 'decent' moderation from your side, unity will not be in the cards ....
**** PLEASE KNOW: YOU ARE HEREBY PUT ON NOTICE ! **** With 'victory' comes responsibility .... YOU WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE for the actions and failures that are a direct result of your choice ....
More drivel follows. Go to http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=17046&mesg_id=17046 in order to see the rest of the rant.
Mark Crispin Miller: "First of all, this election was definitely rigged"

First of all, this election was definitely rigged. I have no doubt about it. It's a statistical impossibility that Bush got 8 million more votes than he got last time. In 2000, he got 15 million votes from right-wing Christians, and there are approximately 19 million of them in the country. They were eager to get the other 4 million. That was pretty much Karl Rove's strategy to get Bush elected.
But given Bush's low popularity ratings and the enormous number of new voters -- who skewed Democratic -- there is no way in the world that Bush got 8 million more votes this time. I think it had a lot to do with the electronic voting machines. Those machines are completely untrustworthy, and that's why the Republicans use them. Then there's the fact that the immediate claim of Ohio was not contested by the news media -- when Andrew Card came out and claimed the state, not only were the votes in Ohio not counted, they weren't even all cast. I would have to hear a much stronger argument for the authenticity, or I should say the veracity, of this popular vote for Bush before I'm willing to believe it. If someone can prove to me that it happened, that Bush somehow pulled 8 million magic votes out of a hat, OK, I'll accept it. I'm an independent, not a Democrat, and I'm not living in denial.
And that's not even talking about Florida, which is about as Democratic a state as Guatemala used to be. The news media is obliged to make the Republicans account for all these votes, and account for the way they were counted. Simply to embrace this result as definitive is irrational. But there is every reason to question it ... I find it beyond belief that the press in this formerly democratic country would not have made the integrity of the electoral system a front page, top-of-the-line story for the last three years. I worked and worked and worked to get that story into the media, and no one touched it until your guy did.
I actually got invited to a Kerry fundraiser so I could talk to him about it. I raised the issue directly with him and with Teresa. Teresa was really indignant and really concerned, but Kerry just looked down at me -- he's about 9 feet tall -- and I could tell it just didn't register. It set off all his conspiracy-theory alarms and he just wasn't listening.
Thanks! Proud to have the responsibility and look forward to having you watch the power of conservatism.
So the past year and a half of vitriol and attacks was only a battle?
I'd say we won the war.
Amy Goodman, host-ette of Democracy Never on Pacifica, has been talking about moderation for two days.
Yuk... Yuk... Yuk...
While that may seem like some earth-shattering development to YOU at DU, that has ALWAYS been the case in conservative circles.
And, by the way, it's not YOU who will hold us accountable. We do that ourselves.
Accountability... what do democrats know about accountability?? Pshaaaaaaaww.. Only words to them.
Kennedy / Kopechne?? Accountability??
Clinton / Bin Laden ??
Hillary / Vince Foster??
Kerry / Communists ??
Al Sharpton / Tawana Brawley??
Jesse Jackson / Love Muffin??
Sandy Berger / Theft from the National Archives??
PUHHHHHHHHHHHH FREEKIN'-LEEEEEEEEEEESE. No lectures from tripe. See, this is what happens when your opposition has their head where it is pitch dark. And it's why they lost, and will continue to lose. :neener neener:
Trajan,

Hey, DUmbasses: Take your best shot. Have Winchester, will fight back.
Sabre rattling, are we? Or you're going to do what? Call up OBL and tell him to fire off another one of his home movies?
Adam and Steve can kiss old Rusty, at retail prices.
Guy sounds like a Republican doesn't he? This is supposed to worry us? Hey DUmmy, that's a cornerstone of our philosophy and our faith.
Rush is right, the more they lose power the more fun they are to watch and the kooky they get, ROTFL
The American people heard you, and rejected you. You lost. Get over it.
It is up to you to make the first move to unity, not us. A good first move would be to call your Senators and demand they stop fillibustering. Allow Republicans to do the job that they were elected to do, and in turn, they will work with you.
I was lurking earlier and had to leave once they began discussing severing ties with their family members. What complete and total wipes. Insane in the membrane.
Now those are some responsible people </sarcasm>
Please be nice. They've already threatened today to run Al Gore again in 08.
Agreed. Great entertainment.
