I'm so angry I can barely stand it.

The Democrats seem bent on making it impossible for me to support them. And I have worked so hard to continue to support them that their continual pigheaded refusal to meet me halfway--or hell, even a quarter of the way--infuriates me.

Every now and then my brain does these strange things like create weird political fables. I almost didn't post this. But I was thinking about you guys a lot while writing it. So here is a leftie activist fable. I hope you all like it.

An unlit basement, filled with the whirring, rattling sound of generators. It is very noisy.
Suddenly a light flips on.

Why isn't there a three-ring circus beneath it?
Some might answer "There is, and I sure see a lot of clowns out there."
But I put it to you that what we have under the big top is a one-ring circus. Or, at best, a one-and-a-half ring circus.

I have said several times on DKos that I saw fraud on election day. I have been asked by a fellow poster--a courteous skeptic--to tell that story.

This is the story of what happened to me on Election Day, Nov. 2, 2004, in Clay County, FL.

Understanding some of what happened requires a bit of background information. At the time of the election, I had been living in Clay County for just over a year.
Orange Park, where I was, is just south of Jacksonville, FL, which, for those who don't know, is in the far northeastern corner of the state. It is very close to Georgia, and for those who think Florida is not the South, well, you should visit there and reconsider your position. Clay is the most Republican county in the state, as far as election performance goes. Nevertheless, it was still easier to live there than in Duval County (Jacksonville), for me at least, because there was a lot less overt hostility toward people of different views. Some of the old rural idea that you let your neighbors alone still pertained. (If I were African-American or Latina, this might not have held true. I don't know.)
