Republicans form a new plot to rig the 2008 election (Mega-BARF Alert!)

The Democrats would still get 55% of California's electoral votes. That doesn't qualify as an attempt to rig or steal the 2008 presidential election. In truth, the Left doesn't want all the votes counted - Republican votes.

In the long, hot autumn of 2000, the world was shocked by the contempt for democracy shown by the Republican Party. They knew their man had lost the popular vote to Al Gore by half a million votes. They knew the majority of voters in Florida itself had pulled a lever for Gore. But they fought -- amid the confetti of hanging chads -- to stop the state's votes being counted, and to ensure that the Supreme Court imposed George W. Bush on the nation.

This is so contrary to the facts. But why deal with the facts when the fiction is so comforting.

I think “hag” was a typo.

You’re so right to catch this. What’s worse - but not surprising - is that my Senator, Dianne Feinstein, has exactly the same positions as this idiot. She’s all for exterminating the Electoral College, against popular results in her own state. The reasons are obvious. Republicans won nationally. Democrats control CA. It’s just hypocrisy at its most virulent.

I think it might be an arcane word, meaning someone in the business of espionage, digging around to find out the truth.
