How's this for a positive optimistic message to send America. I just got an email from the Bush campaign this morning asking me to donate money to "prepare for the recount." The best part is that they claim that in 2000 it was all of us who tried to "steal" the election.
In 2000, I was in Florida for the recount and remember the attacks we had to fend off in order to protect the result of a fair election from the efforts to steal it.But more important is what this email reveals. Bush is preparing to challenge the results of this election. He's preparing, as his own campaign says in this email, for "the" recount. I for one don't want another recount. I don't want candidates who are actively planning in advance to use recounts to question the election. George Bush is planning to put us through the same turmoil we went through four years ago.
Wonder how the public will feel about that if they get wind of it now BEFORE the election?
