Kerry: Worse Than Nixon

Derailing the supposedly non-partisan celebration of the birth of Dr. Martin Luther King, failed Presidential candidate John Kerry confirmed he can't "Move On:"
At a King day breakfast in Boston, Sen. John Kerry made some of his strongest comments since Election Day about problems with voting in some states.

While reiterating that he did not contest the presidential election, Kerry said: "I nevertheless make it clear that thousands of people were suppressed in the effort to vote. Voting machines were distributed in uneven ways. In Democratic districts, it took people four, five, 11 hours to vote, while Republicans [went] through in 10 minutes -- same voting machines, same process, our America."
This two and a half months after losing the election, two and a half weeks after all 88 counties (many of which are Democrat-controlled) certified the recount totals, two weeks after Congress accepted the results, and a week after the Ohio Supreme Court denied the Dems' last challenge. What a difference 45 years makes:
In 1960, Richard Nixon refused to ask for a recount after he narrowly lost the Presidency to John Kennedy. Nixon said it would be bad for the country.
Since the 2000 election, Democrats are increasingly indistinguishable from the tinfoil-hat brigade. First that election was stolen (though Gore never lead any vote count) by a partisan Supreme Court (though seven justices found the recount unlawful). Next, the crazier sort claimed the twin towers were felled by planned explosive and the Pentagon hit by missile, not a plane (citations intentionally omitted). And everyone knows the global war on terror was grounded on plentiful oil and ficticious pipelines. Now, lines in November -- a product of both parties' unexpectedly successful GOTV efforts, resulting in occasional under-deployment of polling machines -- have morphed into deliberate theft. But I witnessed lines and delays up to an hour and a half in Florida, which voters tolerated without being disenfranchised. Imagined causation, "in the air, so to speak, will not do." Palsgraf v. Long Isl. R. Co., 248 N.Y. 339, 341 (1928).

Today's liberals have dropped Occam's Razor in favor of post hoc, ergo propter hoc. I guess Kerry really did reflect the majority of Democrats--petty partisans and moonbats.
