Washington State Governor’s Race
Poor, Poor Republicans.
The way these guys are whining, you’d think the end of the world was just around the corner.
The furor is over the 561 ballots from King County that were incorrectly tossed-out in the first count. It now appears the Democrats will succeed in getting the ballots counted in the ongoing hand recount, and that juicy fact has the Republican’s blood boiling.
State Republican Party Chairman Chris Vance, is particularly offensive with his holier than thou pronouncements about how this action of the Democrats will destroy the very fabric of our nation.
“I’m now becoming very worried that the Democrats are going to try to turn this into Florida,” said Vance.
Really.
Vance, obviously, is a mental giant.
Then another really great line was from Dino Rossi, who said something to the effect of, “If you go to court over the outcome of an election, pretty soon you’ll have the courts determining who gets elected, and that’s just wrong.”
Of course Rossi must be unaware of the 2000 presidential election where the US Supreme Court handed George Bush his victory. Or perhaps it was just okay when the courts decided that one because it went in their favor.
What a bunch of hypocritical bullshit.
If someone votes, it should be counted, period. They can’t be disenfranchised simply because some election worker screws up.
The must count all the ballots – and let the chips fall as they may.
Vance and Rossi need to take a lesson from Al Gore. All through the 2000 election fiasco, he never whined even once about Bush’s putsch.
Now what Gregoire is doing is actually legal – unlike what Bush did…
So stop whining Dino! Be a man!
