I think you and I are polar opposites on this issue as are many people. I think, as a person, you have a major flaw in your willingness to jump to conclusions and then stubbornly refuse to let go of them even in the face of clear and convincing evidence. I don't think liberals or Boise want to tell you what to think any more than Limbuagh, FoxNews and NewsMax, or James Baker. They all have their motives for framing facts as they do. I have decided, of my own volition and without compensation as you assert, that the GOP is doing a great deal of harm to the rights of all Americans. I object to their total lack of respect for my right to vote.

Is a vote a ballot? A ballot is holds my vote. Without a ballot my vote does not count. If you refuse to look at my ballot, my vote does not count. If there is a pile of ballots that have votes in them that have not been counted and you prevent those ballots from being examined you are blocking the count of cotes. Blocking the count of votes nullifies a citizen’s voice. You have, in effect, prevented that person from voting. Is there a battle over the vocabulary of the thievery of the Presidency? Sure there is. But for you to act like you are above the fray, when you are clearly engaging in the battle yourself, is a smoke screen meant to divert the attention away from the discussion of the real issue: whether or not these votes will successfully be prevented from being counted.

Any position that you take that you do not engage in the vocabulary war is hypocrisy.
