[QUOTE]Originally posted by Constellation of One: [QB] I promised myself not to get involved in any more election year disputes, but as has been stated previously the roles were reversed. Kennedy and Johnson did steal the election from Nixon. Let's see... dead people voting in Texas, and all of them for the Kennedy/Johnson ticket (ever wonder why they called him "Landslide Lyndon?"), ballot boxes from Republican precincts in Chicago "accidentally" winding up in the river, and so on. In other words, there have been plenty of election year shenanigans from BOTH major political parties to go around, so the Democrats certainly shouldn't be crying foul now. Having said that, Nixon DID NOT go quietly into the night after the 1960 election. His party hacks worked furiously behind the scenes to challenge the legality of the election. To his credit, he didn't do it as publicly and painfully as the current Democratic Party did, but the truth is there. There are several wonderfully researched, credible college level texts dealing with the election that clearly spell this out, in excellent detail. I'm not terribly happy with Bush becoming our next president, but that is the reality of the situation, so we're just going to have to deal with it. [/QB][/QUOTE]
