I suppose I shouldn't be surprised
I find it funny hearing and reading the rhetoric coming out of the Democrats in Washington state (as opposed to the other Washington that rapes my bank account on a bi-weekly basis). If you're not aware of what's going on with the open and slow-motion theft of the Washington Governor's race by democrats supporting outgoing Attorney General (isn't that a rich irony?) Christine Gregorie, please peruse the SoundPolitics web site. Seriously, do it now - it's an education.
The hilarity comes from the knowledge that this is the same party whose US "Representatives" and Senators are TODAY (in about 2-hours, in fact) going to challenge the electoral vote tally in Congress over the vote certification in Ohio (Bush by 118,775 at last count), a largely procedural move that is probably nothing more than a bone to the Michael Moore-types.
Still, it is somewhat illustrative of the left's selective outrage over voting "irregularities", isn't it? When serious and legitimate questions are raised in WA regarding thousands of "votes" tallied (out of about 3-million) in a race decided by less than 150 votes, their answer is to "Shut up and sit down". Why? Because their side "won", of course. Never mind that the rules were changed (several times) in mid-stream - clearly in violation of the SCOTUS ruling in Bush-v-Gore.
In contrast, outrageous conspiracy theories are tossed about to question the result in Ohio, where over 110K votes (out of about 5-million, after a full state-wide recount, by the way) separate the two candidates, and the same leftists feel that we need to tie-up the Congress for the rest of the week - thereby attempting to cloud the legitimacy of the first majority elected President since 1988.
Not that selective outrage is anything new to the Democrat party. Note that they are in now way, shape or form interested in re-examining the vote tallies in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin - states which were decided for Kerry on a narrower margin (percentage-wise) than Ohio was for Bush - and were MASSIVE voter fraud (10's of thousands more "votes" than voters in Philly alone, for example) likely swung the election in those states from Red to Blue.
But Congress won't be debating this, will they. Nor will you read it in the NY Times or see it on CNN, will you.
Typical.
