One More Time (or until you get it)

The story that hasn't died continues to cause Democrats anger and liberals, well, whiny guilt. That story is, of course (thanks for paying attention), the theft of the 2004 election. It's a strange dialogue happening--or not happening, depending--on the left: one group, apparently led by me since only I care about this topic, is mad as hell about obvious voter fraud and the rigging of a national election--especially the fact that said rigging was done and announced far in advance and yet nobody raised an outcry. The other faction seems to believe that calling an election "unfair" is the same as being a "sore loser" (yeah, buddy: those people who sue after being wrongly imprisoned for twenty years on phony rape charges are some VERY sore losers. Why don't you go talk to them?). The "sore loser left" used to just be the "loser left," but now that some liberals don't want to get their asses handed to them by Republicans anymore; now that some of us have grown tired of taking a kick from the right and saying "thank you, may I have another?" well, the "sore loser left" finally has someone to fight that doesn't scare the living shit out of it: other Democrats. And that's precisely what is happening. The election case is airtight: there WAS fraud, it WAS done by and for the president and his people. But, scared of its own shadow, as usual, the "sore loser left" will spend valuable time and energy not accusing the president of being a thief and a liar, but attempting to drum the angry left back into the whipping line.
How's that fantasy world working out for you, anyway? Are you guys in charge of even one branch of government yet?
