I hope they do some of these things if the election is stolen. I am wondering what a good civil disobedience demonstration would be for us republicans to make it a bit tough for Al. I know you think the republicans are the crooks, but how do you explain even these two things?

1) Changing vote counting standards in the middle of a recount.

2) Democratic instructions on how to disallow military votes.

I cannot for the life of me see how you people justify this stuff. The guy lost the first count and the recount, he will not win the illegal (per Judge Lewis' ruling) re-count, now exclude military votes (which they (and you) earlier alluded they might win) and they want to change the rules for counting votes ONLY after they see they can't win with their original standards.

Please answer to those two points. Its one thing to make a challenge, but this is ridiculous.

An editorial point: Even if you don't like republicans, can you at least see that it is a bad strategy to paint the successful people as bad guys all the time? It may keep you in power longer, but it penalizes the more successful members of our country and rewards the less successful. Sounds compassionate, I am sure, but it is not a model that works well in a capitalistic society (see Russia).
