Maybe you missed this John. But *Buchannan* says there is no way he got that
many votes in that county.
The idea that you would have second thoughts was very predictable.
Even one of your 19,000 "idiots" could have seen that coming.
That you attempt to propogandize to the list by posting lists of links
multiple times each day, *as if you could change anyones mind*, says a lot
about your opinion of the people here, and the general level of intelligence
of listmembers, regardless of what you may say to the contrary.
Im willing to wait and see how this plays out, stating only my own opinion
(and not much of that, regardless of what others may do).
John, you are a friend, and I respect your opinions and your right to
express them. But I am not interested in being spammed by my friends.
