Bush Cheney e-mail ... A glimpse of what's to come

It's innocently titled 'Let the voters decide, not the lawyers.'

"We have already seen 35 lawsuits filed in 17 states - some before the first ballot was even cast. So far, the Democrats have failed in their attempts to win this election in the courts, rather than the ballot box."

What a load of bull-pucky. They like to make it seem as if Democrats are challenging election results or some such! Do I even need to tell you what those lawsuits are actually about? Missing ballots ... candidates missing from ballots ... candidates incorrectly included ... felons lists ... voter intimidation ... fraudulent voter registration efforts ... Are any of these defensible, if found to have occurred?

Anyway, it goes on to implicitly blame the DP for damage to Republican Party offices (whereas I'm sure they'd insist it was just rowdy youths who did the same thing to Democratic Party offices), then ask for contributions to the legal fund for fighting the election after the fact.

True, the DP has been seeking contributions for the same thing for a good while now. Everyone's gettin' lawyered up -- do you think they're just not going to use them starting Nov. 3?

But just one thing for anyone who blames Gore and the Democratic Party for the 2000 suit-fest:

Bush-Cheney filed the first lawsuit in 2000 to stop any recounts.

So stick that in yer pipe & smoke it, oh ye with short memories.
