The problem is, where does it stop?

I mean, if I were playing devil's advocate, I could drag in past adminstration's support of dictators, the oppression of slaves, the taking of the land from Native Americans, European imperialism, Stalin, ad naseum.

But John Kerry didn't fight even as hard as Gore did over the election results, nor do any major democratic players that I know of dispute the 2004 election results.

So I still don't see the point of muddying a post to the point that you are discussing 3 or 4 issues.
