During the absolute sham that happened on the floor of the United States House of Representatives on Thursday afternoon, Rep. Maxine Waters of California finally admitted for the official record what many of us have known for a long time - Michael Moore runs the Democratic Party.
Waters took to the well of the House near the end of what can very loosely be called a debate on the question of objecting to the certification of the Ohio electoral votes of the 2004 presidential election. In a quivering voice that betrayed either an oncoming eruption of tears or outright fury, Waters "dedicated" her remarks and the overall objection effort to Michael Moore. Moore, it was earlier noted by a Republican member, was upset in 2000 that no Democrat in Congress raised an objection to the certification of the Florida votes, and hoped that this would not be the case in 2004.

Even more astonishing - though not entirely surprising - was the appearance of an utter lack of understanding of the concept of federalism among many of the Democratic representatives who rose to object to the Ohio vote. This is also a reflection of their leader's ignorance. Just as the Democratic answer to most everything is to legislate more and more on the federal level, many Democratic members think the answer to the "problems" in counting votes in the states is to make voting a federal activity, regulated by the Congress
