I don't understand how this could happen
Even in my conservative state, I noticed way more Kerry/Edwards signs. Just doesn't make any sense. All the former Repubs that were voting for Kerry, doesn't make sense.

Now, I really do fear a terrorist attack.

How can people be so blind? I just can't believe it.

God help this country.

1. Are you completely uneducated about BBV?
Your votes were changed in the machine.

3. The most likely answer is that Bush probably cheated - again.

9. OK. I'm ready to start posting......
I haven't been able to wrap my mind around it yet, but here's what I just don't get:

Kerry wins all 3 debates.
Kerry gets 3 times as many major newspaper endorsements, even some conservative leaning ones.
Registrations and interest at an all time high.
Exit polls and polls prior to election day favored Kerry.
Bush's approval numbers in the low to mid-40's.

And yet they claim * got more popular votes than in 2000????

I truly am sick to my stomach.

10. Bush DIDN'T get more "actual" popular vote
Edited on Wed Nov-03-04 08:46 AM by davekriss
CNN and MSNBC I heard were reporting that exit polling didn't match "actual" voting. Later in the night, Bill Kristol (smiling neocon demon) stated that the "actual" vote was running 4% to 5% higher for Bush than the exit polling indicated. What did we expect when a third of the vote was cast over unauditable black box voting machines made by Republican-aligned Diebold, ESS, and Sequoia? The fix was in.

They tested this machinery in Georgia in 2002. The result? Georgia elected their first Republican governer in 130 years; and "war hero" Saxby Chamblis won over "chicken hawk" Max Cleland. And in both cases the Republicans benefited from a 10-point plus swing in voter sentiment when compared to pre-election polls. Why should we be surprised by yesterdays results? Bev warned us. Pallast warned us. The fix was in.

We had a bloodless coup in 2000 and it required a laughably twisted 5-4 SCOTUS decision to secure. Bush's monkeys had 4 years to put in place the means to avoid the SCOTUS with this year's theft.

May GOD have mercy on America; may GOD soften Bush's heart; may those smart weapons do the smart thing and rust into oblivion; may the financial largesse handed the Oligarchs (that truly run this nation) be given back to the social security trust fund so that our aging population isn't eating cat food over a can of sterno over the roar of a Hummer that passes by their roadside boxes they call home...may this nation come to its senses and sieze back its country and uphold the values that once made us great.

(I can dream, can't I?)

12. Signs Don't Vote
If you want to know how this happened, Google that article by Ron Suskind where the White House press guy talks about the reality-based community. It's all right there.

13. BBV - Voter disenfranchisement - voter suppression

Hell 58,000 absentee ballots jus never got delivered in Florida.

No investigation. Just 'resent'. Think those people will vote now? They all think * won.
