Let's look at this logically= - if there was anything to this conspiracy theory picked up from the k= nown to be unreliable source of underground democrats.org, the media ar= m of the DNC  - CBS, ABC, NBC - would be all over it. Since they aren't= , it's fair to say there's no truth to it. Since the source of the "story" i= s a bunch of leftist nutbobs, it's fair to say that the news media is correc= t in not talking about it. I assure you that if Dan Rather could find the sl= ightest bit of truth to work with, he'd be out there right now telling us al= l about it, even if he had to make most of it up like usual. Your party had = tens of thousands of lawyers all over the place watching for the slightest t= hing they could complain about. So did the Republicans. Most all of them sai= d it was a valid election.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>No, the simple fact is this. America turned out in record numbers, and = gave Bush a landslide victory. America voted not only *for* Bush, they voted= *against* your ideology. In record numbers. Liberalism is dead politically.= America said you have taken your party too far to the left, and lost your w= ay. You no longer represent what Americans consider American values. Almost = immediately after the election, your party leaders began admitting that the = election was a statement by the citizens of America telling them they reject= your views and values.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>You lost. Get over it. Instead of trying to justify your loss with cons= piracy theories spread by leftwing nutcases and embarassing yourself with st= atements like the one quoted above, you and the rest of your party need to t= ake a good hard look at why your party has lost yet again, and why if you do= n't open your eyes and address the *real* problem your party and its current= ideology is destined to be a minority party for decades to come.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Frankly, I think that's the best place for it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
