Since you lived in Florida, and you feel like the Supreme Court took the
control out of your hands, what did you do about it?  Did you protest?  
Did you write letters to your reps?  Did you organize demonstrations?  Did 
you, before the vote, rally all your Democrat friends and urge them to vote? 
Did you write a web blog to draw attention to the "theft"?  In a not so great 
world, our responsibility must go further than just a vote if something is 
truly not right, and it seems that you felt it was truly not right.  If you 
did not do any of that stuff, then you did not exercise all of your rights 
and responsibilities.  Honestly, I probably wouldn't have taken the time to 
do it either, but it's kind of like if you don't put your heart into your 
game, don't gripe about getting picked last for the team.

C'mon...get real.  You can say that for any two term president when they are 
a lame duck and it starts to look like the other party will win.  Bumper 
stickers come off or are covered over all the time.  Political will changes, 
personality generally doesn't.  Bumperstickers are like desktop wallpaper, 
most people change it now and then.

I don't see any more spam emails or jokes or slams towards McCain or Obama 
than any other presidential candidate or president.  Perhaps you are just 
more sensitive to them because you care more deeply for Obama than for past 
candidates?
And no, it won't stop.  It never does.  Just last week I got that old Clinton 
body count email again.  So Barry Dunham, Barry Soetoro, and Baracky O<g> 
will be around for a while, I think.

They've already started a body count for Teflon.
