Thank you Harvey for this article. It really resonates with me.

I too was awe-struck at the speed with which Kerry conceded, just as Gore had conceded so immediately in 2000.

It makes me think there's something very strange going on.

What I found very odd and disconcerting was how the johnkerry.com website IMMEDIATELY pulled the plug on their blog at the end of November 2.  The vibrant blog which was the place where the Kerry supporters could communicate and strategize together was instantly killed, just when it was needed most.  It just doesn't make any sense.

I get the sense that the Democrats are just a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Republicans. Not a real party, but just a prop just to "prove" that we're not a one-party state. It's similar to when a corporation spins off a new brand that makes the identical product they make, just so consumers can feel they're buying something new, when it's really the same old product repackaged.

Thanks for all your great work.

Like you said, it's up to us REAL people to keep the fight alive.

Peace
