This is EXACTLY the unbelievable feeling those of us who witnessed the SCOTUS stopping

the 2000 Florida vote count.

How can this be? Where are the rational minds? The 2000 election was stollen right from under our noses! Now Kavanaugh?


why aren't we having a national get out the vote rally, with entertainers and colorful speakers?

for legislative positions in districts and states. Those have a chance of succeeding. National political rallies are far too diffuse to make much of a difference. Work locally. Every election is a local election, including our presidential elections. All politics is local.

... NDRC, National Democratic Redistricting Committee, started by Obama and Holder soon after the election. I wish it got more attention in the media. Check out the video of Obama on the home page.

nothing in the new FBI report they didn't know" per GrASSley. Hmph - what about Deborah Ramierez and the "his junk in my face" ???- she had witnesses. Didn't the FBI talk to them? If, nothing new, that would mean they would have already talked to her witnesses, which they didn't. what a sham

said this morning our side was 71% energized.

I felt more robbed in 2004 than 2000. Don't think '04 was even truly close in FL
