Nationally, Democrats Call For Recounts, Ballot Reform

The hypocrisy of the Democrat media machine is particularly galling today, with crocodile tears shed for John Kerry’s long-dead White House dream the focus of coverage – even as their apparatchiks defiantly breached every Congressional protocol in (what they presumed to be) a heroic show of defiance. In reality, however, their rhetoric only bolsters the legitimate outcry in our (the “other”) Washington – where the revote campaign continues to pick up momentum.
It seems that everywhere but Washington State there are calls by Democrat leaders for “minimum standards in the voting method throughout the United States” and “an auditable paper trail for electronic and all voting machines,” – or at least, so go reports in left-leaning media such as the Berkeley Daily Planet - and even from Michael Moore’s inter-galactic headquarters, where John Kerry is quoted as saying:

"It's critical that we investigate and understand any and every voting irregularity anywhere in our country, not because it would change the outcome of the election but because Americans have to believe that their votes are counted in our democracy."

In California, 150 election reform protesters marched to the district offices of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, where according to an Associated Press report, protesters stated "If my vote counts, count my vote." Many activists blamed mainstream media for shifting Americans' attention from election problems to less substantive issues. "Even the Ukraine is getting a new election, but we're not because our government isn't interested, and the media has put our attention on the NBA brawls," said Mill Valley, Calif., resident Ted Newman, 47.

Kind of sounds familiar, right?

One website, run by an anonymous Democrat activist, opines:

“Who am I? A private citizen concerned about:
1. the reliability of our election system,
2. the legitimacy of the 2004 election ,
3. the legitimacy of all elections to come.
That's it. There's nothing more to say.”

No, say it, Democrat!
Of course, we have Democrats like that in Washington State too. They are called ROSSI VOTERS, “Dinocrats” – and they support efforts which are signing up thousands at ReVote Washington – as are many Gregoire voters as well according to the sentiments expressed in this King5 News poll (free registration required).

Still we wait, however, for news stories that connect the dynamic irony between Democrat party outcries for "count every vote" and "fairness" nationally - and their stone, cold silence in our state. Is the Wall Street Journal our only hope? How 'bout a New York Post - Western Edition? Anything is better than the sycophancy of our embedded Seattle media.

Finally, you have to let yourself chuckle once in a while, check out "The Backbone Cabinet" (spineless, more like) website, and get a hearty laugh out of the left wing’s notion of what a U.S. Presidential Cabinet would look like. My favorite hoot has Dennis Kucinich for ‘Secretary of Peace’ – followed by Michael Dukakis for ‘Secretary of Transportation.’ Those funny Democrats, they still have poor old Michael Dukakis commuting in that tank of his...
