-Caveat Lector-
Thanks for the article, kl.
A reflection of the true heart of the liberal aka: "Democrats", and what
they've become. Kennedy should be turning in his grave.
Shame on the Republicans, tho'... for not buckling up and calling a spade a
spade aka: Democratic voter fraud. Shame on the Democrats who tried to
bait and switch the blame on to the Republicans. Though the truth be known,
most will never accept it.

> This fissure is not a split over policy issues, such as whether to
> privatize Social Security, cut tax rates or build a missile defense
> system. The country is divided by the Democrats' claim that their
> party's causes are so moral as to place them above the
> Constitution. When one party sees its causes so imbued with
> morality as to justify any action to retain power, constitutionalism

> Much has been written about the challenges to the Florida vote,
> and readers grew tired of it before the real lesson was learned. The
> important point is not that the judiciary decided the presidential
> election. The vital fact is that the Supreme Court had to deal with
> the astonishing claim that the election of Al Gore was so important
> that Democrats were entitled to revote already cast ballots until
> Gore won.
>
> Democrats demanded a revote, not in counties that Gore lost but in
> counties he carried. In the close election Democrats saw an
> opportunity to reinterpret spoiled ballots and ballots that did not
> mark a choice for president as votes for Al Gore. There were similar
> ballots in every county in the United States, but the revote game
> was only to be played by Democrats in three Florida counties.
> There was no evidence of vote fraud, except on the part of
> Democrats. The attempt to revote was clearly a violation of Florida
> law and the U.S. Constitution. To deflect attention from this highly
> visible exercise in vote fraud, Democrats conducted a defamatory
> campaign, alleging that blacks had been intimidated (in counties
> controlled by Democrats) and that ballots (designed by Democrats)
> were deceptive and confused the elderly.
>
> In a country with a nonpartisan media, such a visible attempt to
> steal an election would have been mercilessly exposed. But
> Democrats knew the media would serve as the propaganda arm of

> Consequently, the media served as an amplifier for lies and

> Certain of the media's support, Democrats turned for help to the

> Although checked at the last moment by the U.S. Supreme Court,

> In a word, Republicans uncharacteristically stood up to the
