> Tom, what was the voter turnout in %? Certainly a great deal higher than the percentage that post to this board. A much more scientific study of what the people of AP want.
I know I have a different mind-set about elections. One thing I've never done in my life is claim that the result isn't what the people wanted. That seems un-American to me. Even in elections where I greatly disliked the outcome, I didn't do that. I was terribly disappointed about the election of Bill Clinton, but conceded the moment it happened that it was what the voters wanted. In the 1960 election there was every reason for the Republicans to claim voter fraud in Illanois, the election was stolen, Kennedey was selected not elected, etc., but no one of my mind-set did. No one with my mind-set would every do such damage to America or disrespect its people that way. Compare the other mindset. Gore and Kerry are still giving speeches that they were truly elected. Disprespectful to the American voter. I won't argue your point about the voters in AP being duped, or scared or whatever. I just note that it is disrespectful to them. I don't allege you intend that in any way; I am simply opining about the consequences of what you say, intended or not. I concede you see it differently and are of another mind-set. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
