For the same reason the American public rejected fears of secret UN black helicopters tooling around the Midwest in the 1990s: because the "small group" you describe is a pack of conspiracy-peddling kooks, that’s why.
By helping to run down our democracy, you contribute to the Big Lie and damage the democracy you claim to want to protect. Night is day, black is white, a mealy-mouthed humbug who is completely devoid of personality lost the election to a likeable incumbent. (Not likeable to you, but to most, just like Clinton was.)
If you drive across the US even today, you’ll see a pretty even split between Bush and Kerry bumper stickers. That’s a lot more accurate than loaded exit polls that people like me intentionally sabotage when polled, anyway. (None of their business, I figure.)
You can spread all of the tortured psycho-babble you want. The answer is pretty straightforward. The election had the usual spotty localized fraud, but it wasn’t enough to throw it either way.
You just can’t stand it that you were beaten by a man you consider an idiot. That’s really it, isn’t it?
You may now return to your regularly-scheduled program. Have fun in Wonderland. Don’t forget to pop out of your hole in ’08 to see if you can see your shadow.
