Deep thought on opinion poll democracy

If Republicans think it's illegitimate for Democrats to have passed health care reform over contrary poll numbers, will they agree that Bush was an illegitimate president when 500,000 more voters chose Gore instead?

(My opinion:  the Bushian illegitimacy comes from the shenanigans to keep black voters, including non-felons, off voter rolls in Florida, and not from losing the popular vote.  Our nation's electoral college system is the one we've chosen, just like our system of representative government that's not decided on polling survey numbers.)

Deep Thought

I hope the terrorists take the rightwinger advice and spend lots of time training to resist waterboarding and other torture, rather than spend that time getting skills they can actually use.

Deep Thought

In January 2017, the newest politically-aware generation in college and high school will only have vague memories of a time when America didn't have an African-American president.
