Revisiting the 2004 election fraud.

Yeah, I've been wondering when someone would bring this up again. There are too many unanswered questions, and we can't really go around telling other countries how to hold honest elections, if our own are in question.

"The point of our revisiting the last election, rather, is to see exactly what the damage was so that the people can demand appropriate reforms. Those who say we should "move on" from that suspicious race and work instead on "bigger issues" – like electoral reform – are urging the impossible; for there has never been a great reform that was not driven by some major scandal. "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization," Thomas Jefferson said, "it expects what never was and never will be." That much-quoted line foretells precisely what has happened to us since "the news" has turned into a daily paraphrase of Karl Rove's fevered dreams. Just as 2+2=5 in Orwell's Oceania, so here today the United States just won two brilliant military victories, 9/11 could not have been prevented, we live in a democracy (like the Iraqis), and last year's presidential race "was, at the end of the day, an honest election." Such claims, presented as the truth, are nothing but faith-based reiteration, as valid as the notions that one chooses to be homosexual, that condoms don't prevent the spread of HIV, and that the universe was made 6,000 years ago."
