it would have forced the issue. It would have exposed most of what the media was ignoring (remember that it was Palast writing for a British paper that exposed the LIES about the "recount"?) and forced the issue front and center. It would have crippled * the lessor's administration from the beginning, even if they had been able to retain office and changed the tone and likely the outcome of the 2002 fraud.

The point is that it would have made a great deal of difference and none of us know what would have resulted, but it couldn't have been worse. That is why it is absolutely vital that we do what is right, regardless of the potential cost, every time.

We are living in a banana republic, quickly becoming a full-fledged police state, as a direct result of the failure of the Democratic Party to stand up, yet again.
