One of our fellow bloggers asked the question "Where's the Whining?" in refernce to where was all the whining about the election that had occurred after the 2k, 2k2, and 2k4 elections. Instead, within a couple of days, most of the close races that had democrats winning, the republicans graciuously conceded without putting up a fight and whining about life being unfair. Indeed, the last 2 senate races that got called were eligible for recounts, but neither of the losing senators asked for one. They conceded.
But lo and behold, that blogger jumped the gun! For indeed there has been winning and crying and bawling about stolen elections! Oh, but wait, the blogger was right! It is not the republicans doing it! Nope, It is the democrats, who cannot even be gracious in winning! They are now trying to steal a seat that they narrowly lost in Florida!
Vern Buchanan beat Christine Jennings by fewer than 400 votes. However, it only takes one vote to win, and he got that plus 300 odd. Yet now they want to steal his seat charging (with no basis in fact or even any evidence) that he stole the election! Yep, Karl Rove must have masterminded the theft of one house seat out of the 230 odd the democrats won! That crafty Karl!
Even in victory, the democrats cannot be gracious. Instead we have one Jerk-Elect being just that to the POTUS, and then a whiny baby in florida that cannot accept the fact that fewer people voted for her than her opponent. In the latter case, maybe she should listen to herself and her party whine and cry and stamp their feet. For then they would know why she lost.
One thing America does not like is a sore loser. But what it detests is a boorish Winner. And right now those are called democrats.
