Reply #23: How can you expect to win when the local Democratic Party leaders

[BushSpeak]

are rolling over and waiting for the Republicans to tickle the stomachs?

You think Kerry is a good general, when his lieutenants are raising the white flag?

Look at how the Republicans are fighting for every square inch in Washington. They just want it more.

To hell with 2008, it's back to the drawing boards for 2020. The Republicans started 20 years ago with a plan, beginning with local officials and judges, you know, the ones that decide whose vote counts. You'll have to start on the local level with the Democratic leaders, the election officials and judges. Then work you're way up, just like Bush & Co.

This election was the best and probably last chance to unmask the Republican manipulation. The system of checks and balances is broken, beginning with the most important, the power of the vote. Everyone is now stuck on a bus with no brakes, having to follow the course charted by a lunatic driver and a host of fanatic co-pilots. How strange it must seem that the only solution is to wait patiently for the pilot to run the bus off the road, so we can pick up the pieces.

So when these local leaders think it's a waste of time to hand count the ballots, you can gently remind them that twelve years is a longer time waste in illusion.

Sorry for the rant, but I guess the frustration is taking it's toll on a lot of us.

Hats off to those on the ground in Ohio, and elsewhere, trying to make democracy work.

Here are the links to the Republican road map to victory.
