Congratulations Arizona Republic (1/04)

"Donald, this is not the Soviet Union. You can't change the truth and you cannot silence us. Remember all your lies about the voting machines, the election workers, your countless allegations of fraud that never happened? Many of your lawyers have been sanctioned, disciplined or disbarred, the courts ruled against you, and dozens of your own White House, administration, and campaign aides testified against you. Remember how you sent a mob to our Capitol and then watched the violence on television and refused for hours to instruct the mob to leave? Remember how your former Vice President prevented you from overturning our Republic? We remember. And now, as you take office again, the American people need to reject your latest malicious falsehoods and stand as the guardrails of our Constitutional Republic -- to protect the America we love from you." Former US Representative Cheney .... the truth sound so good and clean amid the cacophony of lies which your newspaper refuses to call out. Congratulations, Boas and Burton, your silences and massaging of the news, helped get Donald elected.
