Nothing like free PR for the 'disenfranchised' wild-eyed'. Have to admire the sheer gall of the idiot giving crap like this to her editor... you GO girl!

Leila Atassi was an intern reporter last year. She's so green, she should be considered a piece of broccoli rather than a reporter.

"After he spent all this time and half a billion dollars to put himself forward as the candidate who would win the election for the Democratic Party, to concede less than 24 hours after the election was a complete abdication of responsibility"...

They seem to think the 2000 election post election fight should be the norm...It was not...nor should we ever think it should be.

"It has been more than two months since President Bush declared victory"

Come on - say it - I know you can - say "It has been more than two months since President Bush WON"

How many states did Kerry win by a smaller margin than Bush carried Ohio by?

"It has been more than two months since President Bush declared victory."

Yet another prime example of the worthless slant of this article. I seem to recall Kerry conceding the election but then, I'm so truth biased I probably imagined it.

I remember knowing at some point that [John] Edwards said he wanted to make every vote count, and that seemed like good news," Blochowiak said. But while she drafted a letter to lawyers, describing long lines and the harassment of voters at the East Cleveland polling place, she heard over the radio that Kerry had given up.

What a lazy lout!! Most Kerry operatives had finished writing those letters the week before the election. If she hadn't procrastinated, she might have been able to get a decent night's sleep.

 Has it ever occurred to these people that the lines in the "black face" neighborhoods probably wouldn't have been so long if they didn't drive buses full of homeless people from poll to poll to serial vote?

Many Americans refuse to concede 'stolen election'

Many? I think maybe replacing ?many" with "some," or even "a few," would have made for a much more accurate headline.

I really don't think that "many" Americans are refusing to accept that Bush won the election.

To my mind the word "activist" has simply become a shortening of the phrase "close-minded bigot".

"And also, as a physician, I just really believed in his plan for health-care reform."

A doctor and a physic, no one else knew what his plan was.

Want to give a liberal brain farts, ask him to explain any of John "Fn" Kerry's plans.

'Nuff Said....Pathetic

[shrinkermd]

One of the tragedies of modern life is as we have a deteriorating social network we, then, begin to react and treat politicians and celebrities as real people in our lives. In some instances people know more about their adored celebrity than they do about any family member or friend.

This over identification with remote celebrities is a sufficient explanation for the massive emotional outpouring of sadness that occurred here and with the Wellstone death. It also occurred similarly with the Diana death.

While people can recall up to 2500 people by name and face, they actually interact with no more than 25. This is why substituting real people for politicians and celebrities has such a deleterious effect on our public life. Bowling Alone is more than a catchy book title and has more ramifications than "ain't it awful" type rhetoric.

I don't have a solution, only an observation but this centralization of feeling into politicians may have an ominous outcome. A real crisis-domestic or foreign-could result on the white horse being given over weening power by public acclimation. Mass psychology not only decrees that it is less moral than individual psychology but also less reflective and demanding of immediate action.

Don't they realize how happy their "misery" makes the rest of us?

Looks as though Rush was right. Kerry's supporters were a bunch of people still living in the '60s.

[The Raven]

Has anybody figured out what Kerry was going to do if he got elected??
