Just keep saying to yourself over and over and over.....Senator Thune. The dems pulled this is South Dakota and John Thune was beat out with voter fraud. The people knew it, he knew it, but he was wise enough to take advantage of it.

Just think, no more Senator Murrey :o)

You know, this is the legacy of Gore from 2000 vote. This needs to be remembered and played up bigtime. All of the corruption seems to be eminating from the democrats. Nothing less than representative government is at stake. If they can steal this gubernatorial election, they can steal the presidency. They tried in 2000 and in 2004. This is extremely dangerous. If the people cannot put into office the people they want, then this republic is over. Then, we settle goverance the old way, with force. This is not trivial in its consequences. Desperation of the democrats is one thing but overthrowing a duely elected government leaves only 1 redress to this issue. I hope the answer does not lie in the 2nd amendment.

BAAAWWWAAAAHHHHH....you got a PUBLIC School education, didn't you!

I don't know if they're kidding or not, but it looks like a good song could be made out of this one. Like "Cat Scratch Fever" by Ted Nugent. Only make it "Recount Fever."

I don't know where they come from
But they sure do come...
The way they count it for me...

I thought those ballots were out until the Washington Supreme Court ruled this week. I have never heard of 320 ballots....it's a new number to me.

"If this holds, it will be the biggest crime in the history of the state."

You are on course to beat out New Jersey for government corruption.

As I said a few weeks ago, Rossi didn't have a chance after the DNC sent its expert vote-counters out from Cook County, IL, Philadelphia, PA, and Newark, NJ to "assist" with the election.

[steve dubya]

so what happens now? is she the official "winner"?! what an outrage.

[Hank Rearden]

Frankly, I find your tagline offensive.

So you think God's a Republican?

[Political Junkie Too]

I thought they were hand counting the whole state.

They did. King County was the last to report, for reasons now known.

"X-Mas Miracle" it is.

A star shone brightly above the capial building.
And an AP Reporter appeared, writing, "Behold a mandate. Behold a victory for the Democrats. All hail, Gregoire."

"I have never heard of 320 ballots....it's a new number to me."

Several other counties added hundreds of ballots. The state GOP just needed to take a hard line, and say no more ballots anywhere, no way. Once they let their guard drop (and allow Pierce County, for example, to add 433 "new" ballots), they had no precedent to stop King County from just printing up ballots until Gregoire won.

The problem is really statewide.

Unfortunately Murray was re-elected this year. But, Cantwell is weak and up in '06. If the blue collar Dems are sufficiently upset they may join with us and sponser a Rossi trip to D.C.

Not giving up yet on preventing this theft, but if it comes to it, we have a second avenue in two years if Reps play it right.

I am DIZZY with all the "votes" found by King County... And spitting mad at their fraud. This time, ratty dears, we ARE going to take care of it!

God belongs to the Constitution Party.

I have one word to say about this (I know I haven't read through the entire thread yet) and it is not printable here....but it begins with the letter "f"

[oceanview]

this is worse then SD. If indeed they used skewed recount techniques, or a blant "discovery" of votes added through the recount process - to reverse a result, then we just can't let it go, because we cannot allow the Dems to validate this technique, they will use it in future elections to take the presidency.

[B Knotts]

I think it's going to take a recall.

[Political Junkie Too]

All right. "The Xmas Miracle."

Not good enough.

We know what Xmas means, even if it isn't spelled out. Thank New Jersey (for not allowing instrumental versions of Christmas carols) and Plano Texas (for not allowing red and green napkins) for that one.

Where do miracles come from? That's out, too.

Let's call it the Winter Solstice Coincidence instead.
