The real question would be how can they not be? Just like Jeb, the role model of 2000, Taft spearheaded the efforts along with Blackwell to deny victory to Kerry in Ohio.The massive disenfranchisement of minority voters,the intentional delays in heavily Democratic precincts,the barriers erected for black voters in exercising their rights and, finally, the possible manipulation of vote counts made it possible for Bush to “win”.Isn’t it time to appoint a special prosecutor to examine Taft’s role in all this and expose the corruption and fraud that permeates of our system from top to bottom?
Where are our Democratic leaders? Would “Silence of the Lambs” be a correct way to describe their attitudes and behavior?
Democratic leaders who take a “Silence of the Lambs” attitude tend to be served with fava beans and a nice glass of chianti…
You are right.If it was not for the Toledo Blade, even this corruption of Taft would have remained in the closet.That is one reason the way Kerry folded after the election bothered me no end.
Now, when the real democratic constituents, the ones who support Cindy and Paul Hackett, are doing the work the so called elected representatives are supposed to do, not a single big poohbah from our side is in sight.No Clinton,Lieberman, Bayh,Kerry, etc.May be the Fava beans and the Chianti are working their magic.
Sad times.
