In other words, if somehow the allegations in the final judicial report were found to be true, I think it would really show what they're about.

2. Oh, they sounded guilty as hell
They kept talking about the Dems conspiracy theory that the Repukes stole Ohio, and none of the Dems even really talked about that - mostly just the disenfranchisement.

It's going to come back and hit them in their faces.

3. I only want to know one thing from the Republicans
A few kept on talking about voting irregularities in blue states. Well if that's the case, why didn't they contest those states. It shouldn't be about winning. By them not contesting election fraud that they say happened in blue states, aren't they guilty of letting down the very constituents that they serve? They just don't get it, it's not about who won or who lost it's about how someone won and how someone lost. If Kerry took any blue state and there was fraud they had an obligation and a duty to the voters of that state to contest that state no matter who won it. Shame on them for NOT standing up for democracy and shame on the Democrats who ignore the fraud in ANY state that it happened in, not just Ohio

5. Enough rope & enough footage!
Edited on Thu Jan-06-05 05:08 PM by GreenPoet64
Michael Moore will have plenty of footage to show in 2008. The debate showed many republicans responding with subtle and not so subtle racist rhetoric.

Actually I think we gave THEM the rope--enough rope to hang themselves.

Boxer is a very smart woman.

I think she should run for president in 2008.

6. Was this just to get it on the Congressional Record...
So if something pops out later that confirmed fraud did take place, then there would be an avenue to pursue?

7. And I LOVED the one guys reply that THEY, weren't complaining about all
the Democrats and THEIR dirty tricks and fraud that happened during this election and it was just a bipartisan ploy, blah blah blah.

Well, you little weasel you obviously don't care enough to do anything about it for your REPLUBLICAN constituents either, do you?

9. This is why I think non-partisan letters to the editor expressing
outrage would be highly effective. Keep them guessing as to whether you are a democrat or a republic, but convey a sense of deep disappointment or offense at the callous republican response. Make them look like the bad guys they were today.
