We all know that the selection of Dubya as Preznit was the result of egregious election fraud in Florida. The general reaction to these accusations has been: “Oh, suck it up, you WATBs! Your guy lost! Deal with it!”

It’s now beginning to dawn on these people that the Justice department is not going to be under Republican control for certainly four years, in all human probability eight years, and possibly longer. They know that thousands of people have been involved in this concerted campaign of election fraud, vote tampering, voter suppression, and voter intimidation that have characterized presidential elections in this country for the last 28 years, and it’s a mathematical certainty that at least a few of them will come forward and reveal what’s been going on in return for immunity.

It’s possible to argue that this will make no difference. Al Gore did not in fact take office in 2001, or John Kerry in 2005. However, I think there’s an underlying feeling for fair play in the American people that goes above and beyond who they might have voted for in any given election. I think once the shenanigans that caused the last eight years of horror come to light, especially since the results of these crimes have been so disastrous, that the Republican party is going to be marginalized for decades to come.

That’s my hope at least, and the transparent maneuverings of the Coleman camp in this recount may contribute to showing people the kind of crap that has dominated and controlled American politics for so long.

1. Amy Klobuchar is now the Sr. Senator from Minnnesota.
