Feeling Minnesota, Part 2

Still no word on the final vote count between Franken and Coleman in Minnesota. But the Limbaugh crowd are up in arms, baselessly claiming that the Democrats are going to "steal" the election.

What facts are presented to make their case? This is Limbaugh we're talking about. He doesn't use "facts", he just makes shit up.

No, the Democrats are apparently trying to "steal" the election by making sure that every vote is counted. Preposterous! Un-American! Counting the votes? How dare they? Didn't Scalia make it clear in 2000 that the number of votes per candidate is irrelevant?

And it doesn't end in Minnesota. The same thing is happening in Alaska. There is this major conspiracy going on whereby when all of the votes are actually counted, a Democrat is winning. But the Republicans are still pushing for their convicted felon candidate to be re-elected. Even though he's on his way to prison.

In the end, I just have to wonder. What kind of Communist country are we living in where every vote gets counted? Everyone gets one vote? What next, everyone gets one loaf of bread? I don't think we're in Bush/Rove America anymore, Toto.
