1. That fart in the system has been so thick, and lingered for so long
that every time you wave your hand through the air you get shit all over your fingers.

How much better the world would have been had President Gore been sworn into the office that he rightfully won!!

4. I'm just pissed off that Florida had so much to do with the whole mess...
and we're not any better today. Florida is a Democratic state with Republican voting machines!

5. Seven years ago, the American system was high-jacked.
In 2000, the American people rejected the Smirking Chimp, but the "long-term business plan" of the Rethugs to high-jack this country succeeded (through a partisan and fascist-leaning SCOTUS) in awarding him a contest he did not win.

Four years later, when the American people voted resoundingly to throw the Chimp and his flying monkey minions out of office, they refused to leave. Instead, they flipped the votes in Ohio and New Mexico and Iowa and Nevada (and likely Florida) enough to steal those electoral votes and they flipped the votes enough in other states to create a false mandate for Chimpy. (The only real mandate he has ever had was with Jeff Gannon.)

Now, as we approach the 2008 elections and the American people are preparing to enter the voting booth armed with Tidy Bowl to flush this Shit for Brains back down the Red river, we see disturbing signs that the Monkey-Man may not be willing to leave. ("State of emergency" anyone? Suspended elections, Blackwater in our streets, franchise-loving Americans jailed as "terrorists", etc. Have you noticed how much the Pakistani side of the Chimpster's ancestry is beginning to show -- his Reichian fellow traveler side has been obvious for a while.)

No siree, the American system didn't fuck up -- it was ignored then and it is being trampled now.

And now is the time for all good men (and women) to come to the aid of their country.

Fried monkey meat, anyone?
