Reply #278: Election fraud in 2000 = "Tinfoil hat conspiracy theories"

Speaks volumes about you. Back slowly away from the right-wing talking points.


You really need to do some research on the 2000 election. It was a power grab that plunged us into a Constitutional crisis. A virtual coup d'etat. And, no, the end result does not make everything leading up to it moot. At least for those that care about our Constitution and what our nation was built on instead of simply "winning".

It amazes me that even some Democrats pick up those arrogant talking points in order to minimalize what was in fact a stolen election. It's really sad that you don't even care about that. It is also sad that you want to adopt the despicable tactics used by the Republicans simply to win. I honestly thought that Democrats were more principled than that. And before you go on about how winning is all that matters, you should take a hard look at your assumption about what it takes to win. Personally, I am certain that we can both win and maintain our dignity and principles. There are many ways to win, and we do not need to result to picking up unconscionable techniques to do so.
