Speaking of asinine:
> dmb says:
> I disagree. Consider our court appointed President. He seemed perfectly
> happy to disregard the wishes of the voters in Florida and at the UN.
Independent recounts of the votes show Bush won Florida. UN votes
don't make U.S. foreign policy.
> The administration supported the overthrow of Venezuela's President
> Chavez, a democratically elected leader, just last year.
Chavez is currently President of Venezuela.
> Bush's attorney
> general, John Ashcroft, tried to shut down the polls in Missouri because
> he was losing the election to a dead man.
The polls stayed open illegally.
> The Republicans in Texas, with

> redistricting plan in favor of one that will lock the Democrats out.
Texas Democrat legislators boarded buses and went to another state in
order to block the majority will of the state legislature.
> And

> Governor a month after they lost that election.
California's Constitution allows for a recall of the Governor.
Californians favor the recall 3 to 1.

Liberals call conservatives racists, sexists, homophobes, bigots,
religious zealots, insensitive, divisive, stupid and right-wing cranks
among other abusive names. Liberals can dish it out, but can't take it.

Absurd to the point of insanity.

"It's not just a matter of who wins elections." Spoken like true
fascist or communist.
