The current crop of candidates and the DNC / DLC are a lot more desperate this time. There may not be a Dem who puts America first as Mr. Gore did in 2000. When the shooting starts is strictly up to the left. It's always been the left's war against America NOT the other way around.
From David Frums Diary, NOV. 19, 2002: GORE SPEAKS, based upon an ABC interview. The words are by Karenna Gore.
He said, "We have to do what's best for the country, and it is not good for the country to have this kind of divisiveness. And he was on the phone, really calling off the dogs. There were people who wanted to fan the ... the flames of the racial issue and have real unrest. And he was on the phone asking them not to, because of what was best for the country not because of what was best for him politically. And that's really who he is. [end]
Now the way I read that the Dems were preparing to have people killed and maimed. Property destroyed. Lives ruined. Mr. Gore stopped it.
So instead imagine "Floridas" in ten key states, with Republicans denouncing 'rat vote fraud, and instead of a Gore calling off the dogs, a Hellary or Weasly Clark letting them loose?
In short they thought they would lose on the basis of one state, with loads of irregularities in counting the military vote.
Another piece of historical truth. What they start, I intend to finish in places, at times and according to methods of my choosing. Without guilt. Without remorse. Without hesitation.
