And people wonder why Republicans never fight back.
My hope is that someone, somewhere in the political process, will understand how VERY dangerous it is for elections to be stolen through fraud, or to deny a citizen standing when he belives someone is not a legal candidate for office, like Obama.
When enough people believe they have no chance to control their government as a majority, they will ride. Its so very sad, because such uprisings have a poor track record for staying honorable. It needs leaders such as our founders.
We have a dear friend who lives in Minnesota, and my understanding (from discussing this election with him) is that there is no mechanism in Minnesota law for a new election to take place.
I’m sure that’s correct, however, it would really say something if the people turned out ENMASS to demand it. They might not get it, but the political class just MIGHT get the hint. Of course, the next time they have an opportunity, people from MN need to turn out every single politician who didn’t come out against this travesty.
