What I don't understand is why those supposedly on our side [View All]

[ailsagirl]

are choosing to dismiss the "voting irregularities" as just that. For instance: Al Franken, The Nation, Salon.com, Daily Kos (minimal interest shown), The Left Coaster (minimal interest shown), and others I can't recall at the moment.

All we're asking is for a fair count of the votes-- that includes provisional ballots, ballots from the military, and absentee ballots, none of which (according to Randi Rhodes) have been counted in Ohio (perhaps they have by now-- I don't know).

So how could anyone object to our insistence that all ballots be counted?? Isn't that pretty BASIC in an election?? That should be the focus, not turning the election around so that Kerry wins (though I think he did win). If we keep our focus on making sure all the votes are counted, how can anyone put up a fight?? And, further, how can the Bushies mind if the election was won fair and square? They'd have nothing to worry about........... right?? ;)

NOR do I understand those who I know care (or cared) just shrug and say, "what's the use?" and not even bother anymore. That's what the repugs want us to do, damnit!! Don't let that happen. Our chances of losing will be assured with that attitude (though, God knows, I understand wanting to give up).

Fight on!!
