For this reason, Lynda:  The question has been posited:  What would the 
election look like, what would the results be where George Bush WINS and yet 
he did not steal the election?  It's a fair question.

So far we've only been offered the scenario that if ALL the allegations 
about irregularities were true when they lowered Bush's count, and none 
whatever would even be entertained against Kerry, then maybe Kerry would 
have won by a dozen votes rather than Bush winning by tens or hundreds of 
thousands. That is, one side.

Things like that have gone on in every election on both sides.  So the 
question is still before us:  what would the election results have to have 
been for even you supreme leftists to say "Oh, we just lost.  The voters of 
the country don't agree with our vision and direction for the country."

Did you ever see the flick "Robocop", the first one.  Murphy's first mission 
was where the incumbent mayor had just lost the election and he was holding 
people hostage and in order to stall for time they asked him what his 
demands were.  He said "I want there to be a recount, and if I don't win, I 
want there to be an new election.  And I want to be declared mayor no matter 
what the results are."

So far that's what the 'stolen election' blather sounds like and not much 
more.  And that's why it's mindless.
