FOLKS TALKING REVOLUTION AS THE CHEAT GOES ON

'CRISIS': Gravatt Huber, ex-professor of constitutional law, says: "There's a constitutional crisis." - N.Y. Post: Nury Hernandez
WEST PALM BEACH.
THERE is dark anger in the hearts of good men and women in a place where the sun is supposed to be shining all the time.
Andrew Colesanti, a former bodyguard in New York for Leona Helmsley, held aloft a sign with simulated blood: "Bush Or Revolution."
"I never in a million years thought I'd be out here holding up a sign like this," said Colesanti.
"Anger? That's an understatement. The thought of revolution is terrible, but I speak to many people from all walks of life all across the country and it is not far from their minds.
"Gore is dividing this country with his crazy Clinton-like ambition and lies. He and his friend Clinton have done enough dividing. It's about time real people are heard."
Matt Hall, a car salesman: "Sadly, there is a potential for normal, serious and good people taking to the streets.
"Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago, father of Bill Daley, chairman of Gore's campaign, stole the election in the dark of night in 1960.
"Al Gore, in his arrogance thinking we are all fools, is doing it in broad daylight.
"Yes, the people who don't speak up are very, very angry.
"Well, now they are on the verge of speaking up. Gore is very un-American."
Dr. Gravatt Huber, former professor of constitutional law at Thomas Cooley Law School in Lansing, Mich., was talking: "They're saying down here ‘Let's grease up the Winchester,' and not all those people are joking."
And all we see are these foppish happy-faced spinmeisters say, "There is no constitutional crisis."
"Of course there is a constitutional crisis," said Dr. Huber.
"We have a Democratic-controlled state Supreme Court ignoring the statutes of the state of Florida. One thing emphatically clear about the Constitution is that the state of Florida has complete authority in this election. That's what separation is all about."
Camilla Moore, a hand-recount observer said: "This whole system is messing with us. It is defeating what democracy is all about, what a vote count is all about, what the state of Florida is all about.
"I have these chads actually sticking to my clothes. People, not intentionally, are making mistakes all the time."
And Bill Daley, Gore's coat holder, claims that this explosion has nothing to do with the ulcers on Wall Street.
David Malpass, international analyst for Bear Stearns, said it without prejudice, but dramatic simplicity: "We have seen Nasdaq down 19 percent since the day after the election."
In Miami-Dade County, there are 630,000 manual recounts to be undertaken.
On Wednesday, the Democratic controlled canvassing board celebrated the Mickey Mouse ruling of the state Supreme Court giving George W. Bush a black eye.
Oh, they were so happy and so confident that they were going to certify 630,000 hand-counted votes.
They had to be smoking cigarettes without labels.
Early yesterday, there was a mini-riot as rumors swept the counting house that ballots were being fiddled.
Yells, curses, pushing and shoving. That's how it all begins.
Suddenly, the Democratic-controlled canvassing board said they could not make the deadline - a new deadline set by the Democratic-controlled Florida Supreme Court - and said they'll stop the recount.
The Florida Democratic Party last night sued the Democratic-controlled canvassing board to make them manually recount. How do you "make" someone recount a ballot?
But it isn't strange. Yesterday, the state Democratic Party was in federal court before Judge Jorge LaBarga demanding the Democratic canvassing board in Palm Beach County expand their count of the "pregnant chad" ballots.
Democrats suing Democrats. Does anyone know how to play this game?
Ed Whalen, 66, who has been here a year and a half, after retiring from Engine 36 as a fireman in East Harlem with 281/2 years' service, said:
"All those baby-boomer liberals in New York who couldn't get into politics come down here and make it their own little kingdom. Suddenly they're big-time politicians running our lives. I wish they would retire properly or go back up north.
"Now we have counts and recounts and recounts. The Democrats are voting, the Democrats are counting and the Democrats are suing each other. Who is running this vote for the president of the U.S.A.?"
I indulge myself to repeat something I wrote two weeks ago referring to that late, great monster Joseph Stalin, who said: "It doesn't matter who votes, it matters who counts them."
We know who counts them. Don't tell me this country has come to that. I still hold the faith.
