Reply #126: Well said, Squire

[FatDave]

Yes, we're all pissed about the recount vote, and we have every right to be. But the point that Squire has made about not knowing just how bad Jr. would be is a valid one. I had no idea he would be this bad. Yes, I thought he was an idiot, but I didn't know he would surround himself with the biggest bunch of loons ever to weasel their way into politics and help them trample the constitution. And I don't think O'Connor knew it either. I think that was a pretty big shock to about everybody. It doesn't make her vote in 2000 right, but it does add some much needed perspective.

Bottom line is this is a big deal, and it's a big win for those of us worried about a gradual (or not so gradual) slide into fascism. Let her speak now that she can. Who knows what else she'll say? And I guaran-fucking-tee you that Sandra Day O'Connor's words will do more for the anti-Bush cause than a bunch of liberal democrats bitching (mostly to each other) on an internet message board.
