"The house we hope to build is not for my generation but for yours. It is your future that matters. And I hope that when you are my age, you will be able to say as I have been able to say: We lived in freedom. We lived lives that were a statement, not an apology."

And The Pot Calls The Kettle Black

One of the most frustrating things for me throughout this whole governor debacle in Washington has been the Democrats' astounding hypocrisy. They have called Republicans cry-babies, claiming that we need to give up and face the fact that we lost. The following statement is just the latest from State Democratic Party spokeswoman Kirstin Brost:

"The Republicans are in a hopeless situation," Brost said. "What we have seen in the last couple weeks is them floundering and grasping at straws trying to find some way to undo the election results."
Mrs. Brost, what we have seen for the last four years is Democrats "floundering and grasping at straws," whether it be Gore's attempt to steal the 2000 election by cherry-picking votes from heavily Democratic counties or Democrats trying to claim that the president's victory in Ohio is illegitimate.

Now for what you and your Democratic cronies did in this state. You paid for a hand recount even when members of your own party said that it would be inaccurate, you miraculously found ballots in assorted places in heavily Democratic King County, and you raised not a peep as hundreds of military ballots were discounted because state election officials failed to mail the ballots out in time.

These are just a few of the many things you guys did to steal this election, so please don't lecture Republicans about trying to "find some way to undo the election results."

  1. Good post, Geoff. Hope you don't mind, but I reprinted part of it at my site (though not the whole thing). Credit and link go right back to you.
