Reply #44: To use a hackneyed phrase seen around here today: "prove it." [View All]

She touched a chord? (That doesn't sound quite as good as the 2004 election's "anti-gay marriage" voters who suddenly sprang into action in a few hours before the polls closed.) it's pretty intangible and fairly unprovable, and always will be. Yet you've decided that's what did it?

The best that can be done is count the votes by hand, and if they're accurate, maybe then your theory of what happened may be correct. Or maybe it's one of the dozens of others floating around.

The article is typical corporate media, happy horseshit yamming-on about the only two candidates they seem interested in.

How the hell are we supposed to know why Obama isn't going for a recount? We can play the guessing game on that one too, I suppose. But it isn't any kind of proof that something isn't wrong in NH.

Obama may pay the price for sitting on his hands, or denying it, or just not speaking about it. He may think saying something will exact a price. He may think it's all nuts, in which case he can take a flying leap. If he can't ask for a simple thing to ensure votes, no one fucking needs him around. Except for the folks placated by happy horseshit, I guess. There are unusual occurences here. They require examination, not media punditry, conflicting fabrications, and second-guessing.

And there will be plenty of people willing to count the ballots. Your convoluted, snotty-assed "rallying cry" is nothing more than a snazzy way of saying "Shut the fuck up." More people will speak up, than those who will take action. Speech is where action begins.

This Election Reform forum has seen years of folks who have come and gone, who applied a similar arrogance and dismissiveness as that which you display here.

There is a remakable, openly admitted anomoly in this election, we have a company known for the proven hackability of its product counting 80% of the vote. Only a sleepwalking fool, a coward, or a person driven by their contempt for Democracy would strive to run in a direction away from such a raised red flag.
