Text of Sen. Lieberman's patronizing speech to be found at: http://www.drudgereport.com/flash3.htm
Fascinating. According to my Orwell Commemorative 3rd Edition Newspeak Dictionary this translates roughly into Oldspeak as "To shuffle, distort and skew the counting of ballots in a way that honors our desire to retain executive power and priviledge and reflects our desire to use the American people as a giant social laboratory for the half-baked theories we came up with while hitting a bhang and listening to John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band in college."
Oh, and Mr. Lieberman; in my lexicon 'constitution' should be capitalized when referring to Old Ironsides or the founding document of my nation. Apparently you don't share my reverence for it...
I see. When it's noisy Democrat protests that the rigging of the election had apparently failed, it's "The Will of The People", but when it's fed-up citizens protesting the handling of the presidential election of the year 2000 as though it was a ballot-box-stuffing brawl for a Tammany Hall alderman, then it's "the Rule of the Mob."
This semantic legerdemain has me steamed beyond words. Once I respected Mr. Lieberman, despite disagreeing with him vociferously, but it's obvious now that his much-ballyhooed morals and ethics were cheerfully flung away in this shameful naked grab for power by these pathetic, threadbare disciples of the discredited Church of Socialism and their bought lackeys.
PS It's got me so ticked off that I put "principals" rather than "principles" in my thread title! Now I'm really hacked...
