The author is another Chicken Little idiot who can't decipher a fact to save his life. Just looking for a chance to put on the professional victimology wardrobe and rend his garments while screaming "betrayal." 'Sierra Times' should be a tipoff that what follows is likely tinfoil or hysteria.
And there's a sucker registered every minute, it seems...
Hey, D.E.
It seems to follow a recent pattern: when the Left doesn't get what it wants, it tries to delegitimize the victor's (victors') victory. Cases in point:
a. Saying that President Bush was selected, not elected, after the 2000 recount
b. Claiming that "a million African Americans were disenfranchised/denied the ability to vote" before and after the 2004 Elections (a claim I never heard after Carter and Clinton's victories...but I digress)
c. Both the presidential and the vice presidential candidates feeling the need to mention that one of Dick Cheney's daughters is a lesbian, in order to fracture the Republican support for Bush and Cheney;
d. Contesting the Ohio Electoral Vote count on January 6 in the House and Senate;
e. Complaining about the cost of having another inaugural celebration (since we were at war, and since GW had already had one...again, I heard no such argument when Clinton had his second inaugural)
...and so on. Trying to depress the winners' base, whether an election is coming, or not. So predictable, so stupid...so...Left.
Exactly right. Fortunately only few knee jerk reactionary conservatives fall into this liberal trap.
