I would like to remind the brilliant EJ Dionne that had his candidate received 65,000 more votes in Ohio he would have won

with 3.5 million fewer popular votes than President Bush…

Oh, the mandate John (Vietnam) Kerry would have had…

Even more votes than Clinton…

What would the cerebral Dionne written then (I wait breathlessly)

Libs, Bush lost the 2000 election by fewer that 500,000 votes - less than the margin of error on our circa 70’s voting equipment.

Kerry would have lost by an excess of 3.5 million votes - easily outside the margin of error.

My question, does EJ really want to continue counting dead pet and felon and illegal immigrant votes?

Ohio
Ohio
Ohio
Ohio

Get some ideas, candidate, and real live citizens. Maybe Bush will meet you halfway then…

elections count.

dems/lefties should stop trying to (a) steal them, (b) deny they mean anything when they lose them.

bush lost more states by slimmer %/margins than kerry but never whined - even tho’ there was some indication of fraud in all of them.

the dems lose and yet they want to stay in power, and claim there’re reasons they should (in a way): by filibustering nominations, and demanding that the presient nominate people that the mninority likes. sheesh. the seem to have forgotten that elections count.

i on;ly got this to say to those dems:

hey, dems: you lost. stop whining. put your cards down the table and push your chair away from the table and politely excuse yourselves. it’s not polite to curse your cards or accuse everyone else at the table of cheating all the time.

Elections Mean Nothing: E.J. Dionne

I nearly had a stroke when I came across the opening paragraph of E.J. Dionne’s column today. Should a temporary majority of 50.7 percent have control over the entire United States government? Should 49.3 percent of Americans have no influence…

I dont recall Dionne using this argument when Clinton (he got 43% in his first election) was appointing Judges. In fact its been 30 years since a Demcorat Presidential candidate got the majority of the vote.

After the last election, Dionne joined the “say anything” crowd.

Under his analysis. Bill Clinton with 43% of the vote in 1992 should not have been able to appoint judges. Or with his 49.2% of the vote in 1996.

For a Brit I’m surprised how well I understood all that. I know this comment isn’t political insight but that’s a benchmark.

OT Want to plug a great site Allah linked, http://scriberoptics.com/100words/archives/2005/07/09/index.html#a000410 that I enjoyed messing on this morning and thought I would tell bloggers.
