Bill Cunningham is the man!

He is one of the few people that would have asked that question.

Go Willie Go!

The DU moonbats forget the absolute and plenary power of choosing electors, rests not with the people, but with the state legislature. A view the U.S Supreme Court first affirmed in in Blacker Vs MacPherson (1892) and then can in Bush Vs Gore (2000). No court has the power to override the judgment made by the state legislature on the matter.

I predicted this very irrational response on the part of the crybaby Dims six months ago; your average liberal Dim, like your average five year old, will simply refuse to accept an outcome that they do not like. Long before the election, in between spasms of assuring themselves that Kerry was going to win in a walk, I saw on many leftist websites and liberal cesspools of what passes for "thought" among their ranks premature rantings that if somehow the unthinkable happened and Bush did win, it would be a "stolen" election. Another words, there was simply NO WAY something that they did not want to accept could possibly occur in a legitimate fashion.

It's a form of mass narcissism, and in adults is a sure indication of an neurotic condition. This is largely tied to the liberal/leftist mindset itself, which could best be summarized as "self-loathing and self-hatred". This is projected outwards on the national polity as a whole, which is why "Blame America Firstism" runs rampant among liberals, but is almost never found in the conservative ranks.

President Bush could have won by 30 MILLION votes instead of 3 million, and you would still witness this flaccid, impotent rage expressed in the precise manner that it is unfolding now in all the heated, sick little leftist cesspools out on the Internet; they would simply widen the scope of the so-called "fraud" to a gargantuan scale beyond what they're claiming now.

Bottom line is something I've suspected for years, and is being confirmed as more than a theory now when I see these mass delusions being played out by the leftists in their intellectual sewers all across the country: liberalism is a dying faith, and like all dying faiths it's decay is marked by increasing fanaticism on the part of the dwindling adherents; delusional behavior in the name of the fading cause accepted--indeed, CELEBRATED--as "proof" of normality and correct-thinking; and sporadic, inane slides into wishful thinking tarted up as "analysis" or "calls to action" when all that's really "there" is so much gibberish and wispy shadows not based even remotely upon some kind of verifiable fact. With the outcome of the 2004 election, liberalism has finally qualified itself as a mental aberration based upon the lunatic delusions of it's followers in the wake of it's aftermath.

And, I must say, it delights me to no end to see them stew in their own loony juices, and rant to the moon while their precious little ideological fantasies come crashing down around their ears. I simply love to see such chickens coming home to roost in that particularly scummy political hen-house.

That might be true if the courts were allowed to interfere after the electoral vote. They can't. Only congress can. They are done for after tomorrow. Actually there is no chance the recount will change anything. Either way these people are barking at the moon.

liberalism is a dying faith

I wish it would go ahead and die here in CA! I think we will have the last hold outs some 100 years from now hiding in SF and ranting away.

It was in their Perspective section (sectionP) and I couldn't find it online, but the reporter's name was Adam C. Smith and the article was called Voters Still Steaming.

Here's a snippet:
"Some would call them conspiracy nuts. But the activists who started arriving at the Pinellas elections office last week before 7 AM view themselves as sentinels for democracy...For the next 12 hours these volunteers voted and voted and voted. Some elections workers looked on warily as the election skeptics, armed with video cameras and reams of paper, methodically hunted for evidence that Pinellas' electronic voting machines might be stealing votes. The idea was to track their full day of votes and ultimately see if the machine tally matched.....The machine vote was a dead on match to how the volunteer watchdogs had voted.

Now if we could just get the MSM to make at least an effort to report on this maybe, just maybe, we could move on with the countries busuness at hand.

Yeah, right! And chickens have lips, too!
