A Quote That Gloats

Here's something Joseph Stalin said
Whom we are all glad is decades dead

"It's not who votes that counts
~ It's who counts the votes"

That may have been true in the USSR
But not, of course, where free people are

I am still laughing over the 3,000 military votes flown in to Georgia yesterday; whose military? Aloha! Rico

Don't bet on it. We had bad experiences in democratic Malta. ~~

Yes. The truth about election tampering is that no one knows the truth --- except those who aren't telling. :) gw

Truer words were never written, John. We never get the truth about election tampering. Think of 1960, 2000, and now 2020.

You mean that Stalin wasn't 'god?' I think that he was for most Soviets. Brrrr. What an awful dictator he was. According to internal counts, he presided over 120,000,000 murders of his own citizens. Can you imagine? And yet he was revered!
