Government exists to continue it’s existence. the men and women who make up the governement are ALL about maintaining their power, perks and priveledges. To overturn an election would completely put their personal comfort at risk and it will NEVER happen. Never. Not ever. They are more concerned with the status quo and their personal position than they are about the Constitution.

Well, the above statement indicates to me that you've lost faith in the government, and have become solidly skeptical, which I don't fault you for at all. You've got every reason to feel that way.

My problem is with those who are on a campaign to shut down all discussion of this issue, and who tirelessly come onto these threads expressing the same negative views over, and over, and over again. They aren't adding to the conversation, and are doing nothing to advance their case that "there's nothing here".

Such people are suspect to me. I don't understand why they bother to come onto these threads if they have no real interest in the issue, or believe it to be an unworthy pursuit. What's their motivation? Why waste the keystrokes, if they can't make a case "against"? Do they think they can actually kill the discussion? Why would anyone want to do that?

You could say I'm skeptical. Look at what's happening today. Congress is set to nationalize the Big 3. They want to make Paul Volker some sort of car czar and want Congress...that collection of crooks, bankrupts, liars and thiefs, to approve any transaction in excess of 25MUSD. I never thought I'd live to see the day when we gave up on Capitalism in this country...let alone under a Republican President.

While we're all in a knot about 0's bc the country is being stolen right out from under us. It makes me sick to see how we've failed our grandchildren. They'll never know what a great country this used to be.
