With that in mind, and with the extremely close 2002 election, the Republican
party would serve itself well to remember that it didn’t carry a
supermajority of the public’s opinion, and it should therefore stop ignoring
the close minority and ignoring public sentiment, all while legislating from
the extreme right.
Didn’t Dubya endlessly call himself “a uniter, not a divider”? I’d like to
see him perform that role sometime before he’s booted out of office.

The terribly sad part about this entire thing is the memory (or the lack
thereof) of the voting populace.
What I’m beginning to see right now is the American economy improving (so the
pundits say) and, come election time, unless something untowards happens, the
general population will think “Well, the last 4 years haven’t been really that
bad now--people still work, blah blah blah...”
And with the Democrats in disarray, which, at least to this spectator, seems to
be the case, I believe that Dubya will get another 4 years. I mean the platform
“Bush suxors!” isn’t really much of a campaign stratergy now, is it? Truth to
be sure, but “Vote for the other guy ‘cause he sux less than Bush!” doesn’t get
me out of my comfy Laz-E-boy and to the voting booth.
The ‘ultra’s on both sides will turn out in droves to vote for their guy--the
religious and fanatical conservatives who love what Dubya’s turned your country
in to will vote for more of the same, and the liberals and those who truly hate
what Bush and Co. have done will turn out to ‘boot ‘im outta office’--but from
the numbers I’ve seen, the camps have equal numbers--and the ‘undecideds’ won’t
know which way to turn.
Your country has 11 months to go. For us bystanders, it’s going to be an
interesting ride. Electronic voting booths, Dubya, more democrats than you can
shake a stick at, wars on terror...
Let the rhetoric ensue!

| (...) Few Liberals identify the stolen election as a major current issue; we grudgingly accept that we are, for now, stuck with the President we have, so let's move on. The lingering issue, however, is that numerous irregularities have come to light (...) (21 years ago, 5-Dec-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
