They may be in the "anger phase" of the grief process.

Wasn't it the democrats who were in charge of the contested area of Florida, and wasn't it democrats who were not only registered but voted in two states, New York and Florida...and once again mostly in democratic controlled counties? And wasn't it the democrats who didn't want the military votes thrown out in Florida...? Hmmm isn't it strange the liars can still point to Florida as having a questionable election? siliconinvestor.com State of disgrace__________________ by George Ochenski Rigging the vote (again) in Florida And so it has begun. The thing we all knew could happen, feared would happen, but hoped that somehow, in our American democracy, would not happen. The rigging of the presidential election is formally underway—and somehow it comes as no surprise that it begins in Florida, under the governorship of Jeb Bush, President George W. Bush’s younger brother. In defiance of a court order, Florida, a swing state that could go for John Kerry, is sending out absentee ballots containing Ralph Nader’s name. According to the state’s elections chief, Hurricane Ivan has created “uncertainty” about a scheduled court hearing on the legality of the Nader listing, thus forcing her to mail ballots to overseas voters immediately. Predictably, the Democrats are blown away by the latest election-rigging ploy. In 2001, when Al Gore lost Florida by 527 votes—and the Supreme Court stopped the recount—Nader took 98,000 votes away from Gore’s side of the ledger. Jeb Bush and his administration would like to see Nader likewise siphon votes from John Kerry.

LOL. Apparently stockman's having trouble keeping up with the news reading papers from Missoula. The article about "rigging the vote" in FL by putting Nader on absentee ballots "in defiance of a court order" was, at best, premature - being dated two days before the deadline for FL to send out absentee ballots. It was all over the news Friday and this weekend that the FL supreme court was ruling on the issue, but here's scottie posting it as news to the chino thread four days later, and two days after the court ruled that Nader SHOULD be on the ballots. Quite a scoop, scottie dished up, eh? siliconinvestor.com
