170. the real question
What is it that is over? I don't spend any time on imagining Kerry in the WH, although I wouldn't rule it out. However, the idea that this is over seems hightly overly-optimistic to me. If the election theft is not stopped, things don't just bounce back magically to the way they were before the election. They stole this election for a reason - to steal the government, and they stole the government for a reason - they plan to use it for a very radical agenda, and that radical agenda will make everyone wish they had fought harder on the election theft.

People can run and hide from confronting this, but the next things they do will not be so easy to escape.

If they get away with stealing this election, things are far, far from over, they are just beginning. I think it is self-delusion to think that we can walk away from this and try again in 2008. This may be the last easy place to stop them. The election theft is just one step in a long series of steps, and it is the step they are most vulnerable on. It will now get worse, and it will be harder to stop them, and it won't go away.

How people think we can vote them out in 2008 and we couldn't this time is just beyond me. It will be much, much harder to stop them then.

If people are anxious for this phase to be over, and are ready to happily move on, then they haven't taken a very good look at this adminstration's grand strategy.
