Poor, Poor Republicans.<\/strong> 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\u2019s blood boiling.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m now becoming very worried that the Democrats are going to try to turn this into Florida,\u201d said Vance.<\/p>\n Really. Then another really great line was from Dino Rossi, who said something to the effect of, \u201cIf you go to court over the outcome of an election, pretty soon you\u2019ll have the courts determining who gets elected, and that\u2019s just wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n What a bunch of hypocritical bullshit.<\/p>\n If someone votes, it should be counted, period. They can\u2019t be disenfranchised simply because some election worker screws up.<\/p>\n The must<\/em> count all the ballots \u2013 and let the chips fall as they may.<\/p>\n Vance and Rossi need to take a lesson from Al Gore. All through the 2000 election fiasco, he never whined even once about Bush\u2019s putsch.<\/p>\n Now what Gregoire is doing is actually legal \u2013 unlike what Bush did\u2026<\/p>\n So stop whining Dino!

\nVance, obviously, is a mental giant.<\/p>\n
