Republican goons emptied out of two limos at Miami-Dade Election Headquarters interrupting the recount. We later learned that Roger Stone orchestrated and participated in that action.
Miami Herald Editorial Published November, 2000
I was an observer for the Democrats on Wednesday morning Nov. 22 at Government Center when the Republicans unleashed their venom on an innocent Democratic Party official accusing him of stealing what turned out to be a sample ballot. These goons apparently succeeded in intimidating thecanvassing board into canceling any recount. So much for their commitment to upholding the edict of the Florida Supreme Court and for their concern for the voice of the people of Miami-Dade County. The, strong-armed conniving and mean spiritedness of the Republicans in sending in these thugs and the obfuscation of James Baker and of the governor of Montana foretells the tenure of the, next four years under a Republican administration. Big business will have a field day while the rest of us lose control over those elements that affect our daily lives. No wonder those who look ahead see fascism rising followed by anarchy of those who feel disfranchised. All we can count on from Bush is a commitment to the values of conservatism, protectionism and cultural atrophy. the price of liberty is eternal vigilance and, boy, will we have to keep our eyes open for the next four years if we lose this fight.
