[Mandate My Ass]

My father, a lifelong Dem, a patriot, a Korean war veteran, an upstanding law-abiding citizen and stand-up guy in every way, told me tonight he's happy he's at the end of his life because of the results of this obviously hijacked election.

I'm proud of my father too, and with good reason. His despair did not materialize during the godawful years of 2000-2004, during which time he stood up and did his part to oppose the Bush regime no matter the personal cost to himself. It hit him when the US became a pariah and when it became apparent that the alleged opposition party, to which he has been 100% loyal, would not stand with him even 24 hours and demand that the votes be counted as promised.
