Reply #9: No flames here- Actually a good, sobering dose of reality

[Paligal]

While some might flame you because what you point out is a bitter pill to swallow for those who wholeheartedly believe that this will play out by Jon Stewart, Michael Moore and John Kerry stepping forward last minute crying foul, Madsen proving a massive web of deception in the next week, and the Congress and Senate overturning the election and inaugurating Kerry in January.

I do believe there was fraud, and I hope wholeheartedly it is revealed in the next year or so. But I am also a realist and have been flamed for saying anything sobering on this board, like it doesn't matter what we (or Madsen) allege. We have to prove it. And that's only the first hurdle. We then have a lengthy battle to get it heard and legally dealt with. That will not happen before December 13th. And I don't believe it will happen before January 2nd (or whenever the Congress opens the result of the electoral college vote).

BTW, since you seem to be learned in the way of election laws, what happens if they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that there was fraud and Bush did not win? Can he be impeached? What if he claims to have not knowledge of it? Has he actually committed an impeachable offence? I'm curious.
