The vote was based on a mistake, or even worse, fraud. When people vote based on their belief in a mistake, do you just stay the course of the mistake- or do you recalculate? In my universe when you blow it, you say "oops, my bad" and you try to fix your mistake, after acknowledging it. In Mr. Bush's universe you make a mistake, pretend you didn't make it, or that it was someone else's fault, and ignore the fact that you made it. Now what does that have to do with democracy? The best method I know for a democracy is to do the same thing I do- own up to mistakes that have been made, take the real evidence available (not the wishful thinking of a biased ideologically blinded administration), and move on using the ideas of people who actually know something, versus the ideas of people (like Rove) who only know their own ideological preferences, and who seem to be unable to grasp the fundamentals of the real world. You are so silly to say democracy doesn't work for me. Don't you feel silly saying things like that in post after post? Your posts just look so foolish with things like that thrown in. Do you think you are capable of writing a post without something made up in it? No wonder you like Bush.
