MRIW #5

Oh, so much has happened over the last week, i almost don't know where to begin.
So i will say this, i think the most ridiculous thing i have seen yet in the past week was the sight of Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) wiping a tear from her eye after she and Rep Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-OH) formally announced that they would object the certification of Ohio's 20 electoral votes won by President Bush on Election Day. These are the same 20 electoral votes that put President Bush well above the 270 electoral votes needed to win the electoral college and re-election to the White House. (Link to photo here: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/050106/480/dcgh10201061945 )

In case you have been under a rock, here is the synopsis. Since election day the dems, under the leadership of Jesse Jackson and Rep Tubbs Jones have been calling for recount after recount in OH, claiming that there were voting irregularities that took place; yet each recount assured the President's victory in the Buckeye State (most recent recout was over 118,000 votes in the President's favor). The blame for these "irregularities", according to the libs, falls into the lap of OH Secretary of State J Kenneth Blackwell, who has broken 2 cardinal sins: being black and being a Republican. Apparently, since the former Mayor of Cincinnati refused to sell his soul to the democrat party, he is "persona non grata" and should not have a political career what-so-ever. There is nothing worst to the DNC of 2005 than for a black American make something out of himself or herself without selling out to them first.

The irony of this is the fact that these "contested" counties where these "voting irregularities" took place on Election Day are controlled by democrats; from the County level (the persons actually over seeing the local election process), down to the precinct workers who did nothing about these "irregularities" when they had a chance. Instead of calling for the head of Secretary of State Blackwell, or seeking to tarnish the re-election of President Bush, they should be seeking to replace the idiots running the county election process in these problem counties of Ohio. But then again, that would mean placing the blame on those who are truly at fault, we can't have that with Jesse Jackson around, its ALWAYS got to be the fault of the Republican Party.

If Mrs. Boxer wants to shed a tear, let her, but let her shed tears for good reasons. Let her shed a tear for the way she and her party have constantly tried to subvert the Constitution of the United States on a regular basis since the election of President Bush in 2000. They used selective recounts and "voter intent" in an attempt to put Algore into the White House, and when that failed they attempted to hijack the Senate for 2 years with the help of "Jumping" Jim Jeffords (I-VT) in further attempts to undermind the President. Then, on top of this, they have consistently blocked the President's choices to fill in much needed judicial posts by once again trampling upon the Constitution that they have sworn to both obey and protect by not allowing these qualified men and women to be voted on and confirmed. And now they want to waste Senate time, and our tax money, to force their unneccesary propaganda upon the American people who are ready to move on and follow the leadership of President George W Bush. These are good reasons why she should be weeping.

But, then again, if this isn't enough, perhaps Mrs. Boxer should be weeping over the fact that this protest of the 2004 election may be her last hurrah. It appears solid Republicans like Dennis Prager and Michael Reagan are considering a run for her Senate seat, and either one of these fine gentlemen would be a much needed improvement to what the people of California have representing them now in the US Senate. If those tears are over what once was, meaning her political career, then they are falling for good reason.

Barbara Boxer and her tears, Liberal Implosion's Most Ridiculous Item of the week!
