We received word last night that the DNC is not publicly endorsing the people's protests over the way George W. Bush and his cohorts stole the presidential election, but are cheering us on from behind the curtain. This is an outrage! And now this from someone who sought to get Senator Tom Harkin to join with a House member in objecting to Florida's electoral votes: "I just got off the phone with a rep at Sen. Harkin's office. I went into my Election From Hell 2000 spiel when I mentioned that Gore was leading the media recount [in Florida]. "The woman stopped me dead in my tracks and asked me how did I know this. I told her (somewhat incredulously) that it's being reported all over the Internet, at web sites like Salon.com and by Florida newspapers in Tampa, Orlando, Palm Beach and the Miami Herald. "She again stopped me and asked about the mainstream media. Was it being reported there? I told her there was a blurb on Fox News two nights ago but for all intents and purposes, it was being buried, but right now Gore was leading and by the end, would clearly have won Florida by several thousand votes, if not more. "I think this is our problem. Our Democratic leadership is reluctant to challenge His Fraudulency because to them it looks like no one cares about the media recount. How could they care when they don't even know the facts themselves?" In other words, the attitude of Harkin's, and who knows how many others, office is, if it isn't being reported by the "right" corporate controlled major media, it isn't happening. Well it is happening and just Online Journal's readership alone attests to the people's anger at having their country taken over by the Bushistas with the help of the Rehnquist Five. Our hits have gone from 614,952 in September to 1.01 million in October, to 1.9 million in November to a mind-boggling 2.7 million in December. Does that say something? (It says we should be looking for investors so we can pay some investigative reporters who will put the big boys to shame.) Americans are awakening to just what has been going on in their country for at least 40 years, while the Democrats in Congress, the state houses and the city councils have been trying to be more like Republicans. And now, just when we are on the verge of recovering from the Reagan-Bush years-in which, make no mistake about it, the Democratic majorities in Congress were complicit in helping Uncle Ronnie and Poppy Bush to tear the country down-the Democrats in Congress are signaling they plan to roll over for the GW Bush coup. You have already heard conciliatory remarks from House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt and even the man from whom the presidential election was stolen, Al Gore. Are we truly living in alternate universes or what? Is this Wonderland or the United States of America? Are the Greens right when they say the Democrats are no better than the Republicans? Are the Democrats wusses and wimps? Have they grown so fat and lazy that they don't give a damn about the people who elected them? Could it be that they have something to hide, because they played as loose and dirty as the Republicans? Whatever the reason, if they don't develop some backbone by 1 pm Saturday and stand up for the people, they no longer are deserving of our support. This election was stolen not just in Florida, but everywhere-and the truth is and will continue to come out, despite people like New Jersey Gov. Christine Whitman who would lock up the ballots for at least eight years, and who, for her support of the illegitimate regime that plans to occupy the White House come Jan. 20, will be paid off, if it succeeds, with the directorship of the Environmental Protection Agency, her lack of qualifications notwithstanding. While the corporate controlled media kept the focus on Florida and had great sport with "hanging chad" and "pregnant chad," and "stupid" Jews in Palm Beach County, what wasn't being reported was that thousands upon thousands of African Americans everywhere had been systematically robbed of their votes; that ballots had been tampered with; that vote tabulating machines also may have been tampered with; that votes were cast in the names of deceased persons; that there was absentee ballot fraud. Yet, despite all the efforts of the Bushistas-even their purchase of commercials for Ralph Nader-Al Gore won the popular vote by more than 500,000 votes and, when the Florida recount is finished, the Miami Herald estimates Gore will also have won Florida by 23,000 votes, which means he and not GW Bush is entitled to Florida's 25 electoral votes and the presidency. But now Gore is urging us to make nice-nice with the Bushistas, who went to the U.S. Supreme Court to stop the recount and got their five ideological soul mates to spit on the people and turn the Constitution on its head in declaring GW Bush the winner-the Bushistas who now want to sweep their theft under the rug and lock up the evidence if they can, and install rabid fascists as heads of every federal government department and agency. Does Al think we have lost our collective minds? Have we learned nothing from the lessons of the Holocaust that we are eager to repeat them? We think not. The Democrats in Congress, along with five Republicans who put the people and the Constitution above party ideology, have one last opportunity to put an end to this nightmare. Let the word go out to them that if they fail to act, we shall not treat them kindly. Despite what the major media aren't telling them, we the people are outraged and energized, and we are not going to stand idly by while they aid an illegitimate regime in destroying us and everything this country stands for.
