5. Another hair-on-fire conspiracy theorist.

Ever since the 2000 election, when there was clearly Republican twisting in a very, very close election, and ever since 2004 when again the Presidential election came down to one state, Ohio, where there was skulduggery by a Republican Secretary of State in a very close election, us DUers have had to endure the They're gonna steal it again! screeching.

Every time a Democrat loses does not mean Republucans have stolen the election. Some of the fucking times Republicans win because there are sufficient voters who do not see things our way to elect our candidates.

When the election isn't close, like in 2008, there is no possibility for election theft. That didn't stop the Moaning Myrtles from screeching about stolen elections four years ago. We heard it for months here.

Meanwhile, many of us were ignoring the bullshit and going out on the stump and calling voters, knocking on doors, registering voters, and driving people to the polls so that nobody can game the system. The result is history, and the stolen election screechers disappeared.

The stolen election meme is nothing but a cop out. Get the fuck to work and you do not have to wring your hands about stolen elections.

Sick of this shit!
