DUh: More reflections from a tinfoil hat... |

Some thoughts on the morning after. Posted by Skinner Added to homepage Wed Nov 03rd 2004, 10:48 AM ET I cannot possibly put into words how disappointed, angry, and perplexed I am right now. The reported results coming out of Florida and Ohio simply make no sense to me. I cannot comprehend how we could have such a massive increase in turnout and not win the election. To paraphrase that little weasel Tucker Carlson: You don't wait in line for five hours to vote for more of the same. Who knows, maybe some people really would wait in line for more of the same. But my impression is that something just stinks here. As EarlG told me this morning: The result is either massively fraudulent or deeply disturbing. |

#13 Thanks for the support and care. (*grin*) I found a new thing called "valerian" which works a touch like Valium... tastes like utter crap, though. I was poppin' those suckers like popcorn Tuesday night. Despite my stated goal of not paying any attention to that which I cannot affect, I was up until 3 CST. Even got on the Hugh Hewitt election night extravaganza with my stellar and reassuring analysis of remaining votes in Ohio. :) That, I guess, makes me a junky. So... "Hi, my name is "e" and I'm a political addict." |

#11 it may turn out that--to put it bluntly--the other side got more votes Moonbats entering their version of the Renaissance??? Or is this one of those examples where a billion monkeys banging away at a typewriter for a billion years, might eventually hammer out something sensible? (kinda like me actually) |

#10 Perhaps you should have voted more often then. My understanding is that they have liberal attitudes about that sor tof thing in Illinois. |

#9 To paraphrase that little weasel Tucker Carlson: You don't wait in line for five hours to vote for more of the same. I merely drove 12 hours across 4 states (Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana before getting back to Illinois) to vote for more of the same strong leadership and unwavering resolve. The wait in line was quite short, actually. |

#8 You don't wait in line for five hours to vote for more of the same. They still don't get it, do they? These people were waiting in line because the security of their country and their family was dependent on the outcome. I'd wager there were fewer actual Kerry supporters and simply more Bush haters that turned up to vote for Kerry--and I can't picture people solely motivated by hate waiting in line for very long. |

#6 Clearly some Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy, Skinner. Why don't you get it that most of America is well to your right! Have a nice day. |

#5 They want every idea explored huh? I got a real zen like idead for them - YOUR GUY DIDN'T GET ENOUGH VOTES, GET OVER IT. |

#4 If the Kerry campaign needs warm bodies to protest, stuff envelopes, make coffee, or generally raise hell, then we are going to go to Ohio and help do it. That's going to make an exciting story for the grandchilluns. "Grampa, tell us again how you made coffee at the People's Uprising of '04!" |

#2 (Note to disruptors and flame-baiters: The moderators are as angry and disappointed as I am right now, and their tolerance for the usual crap is very low.) Is that the "usual" usual crap or the "unusual" usual crap, because all I see when I infrequently venture over there is crap. How will I be able to tell? I'd ask a moderator, but I hear their tolerance is very low today. |
