83. I've always been more of a "long haul" person
I just can't picture trying to flip the election. It strikes me as a kind of mad thing that would result in chaos. Unless they have evidence that we don't know about and all hell breaks loose on Jan. 6th and popular opinion swings Kerry's way as a result, thinking we can get President Kerry out of all of this just seems like a mad hope.

So I guess I didn't have it to hang on to in the first place. My hope and faith are in Sen. Kerry. And my prayers are in 2008. I can't even imagine trying to hope in 2005. That's why I try not to read any more into the various statements and lawsuits than what lies on the surface. Not buying the hidden messages, though I think Kerry was trying to let us know he'd not abandoned us. He's making sure our votes get counted and the election gets investigated even if it doesn't, or can't, make him president.

I've said before, if Kerry thought flipping the election would rip the nation apart, he wouldn't do it.

So I will be as supportive as I can of Sen. Kerry, watching with interest what he does now. And I will watch with interest on Jan. 6th if only because I think standing up and contesting the electors would at the least bring attention to the broken vote. That's all I want now -- attention for the broken vote.

And for people to cut Kerry some slack. He get socked in the gut. I'm sure he's not a happy camper either. But we got gamed, damn it. We got gamed. I just don't want that to happen again. Even to a Republican (Looks up) Btw, sorry Prez Nixon, that wasn't right either. Nobody should get their victory stolen by a Texas politician.
