ARE WE A BUNCH OF FUCKING MORONS?!
Ok now that I have your attention, have any of you seen the break down of theses exit polls? Don't you find it interesting that the same exit polls that showed Kerry ahead are the ones that said that moral values was the number one issue? Ok, again, Kerry voters...moral issues. These results were NOT taken from different polls given at different times, people. They were taken at the same time! Ok, I admit, it could mean that the Kerry voters had a multitude of of replies while the wing-nuts gave overwhelmingly stated that "moral values" is their number one issue. No way to really tell unless we see how Kerry voters replied versus Bush voters.

Another possibility is that Kerry voters replied "moral values" as well because an unjustified war is morally reprehensible. Hmmmmmmmm

answer. http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/US/P/00/epolls.0.html

(Scroll down to Most Important Issue.)

I agree, though - I find it ludicrous that 25,000,000 voters would claim "moral issues" is the most pressing issue in this election.

If they really believe that, they're even more delusional than I thought.

Edit: typo

2. Think about it
for a left-winger "moral values" extend beyond the right-winged biggoted notion. For the wing-nut, "moral values" is about sex stuff: abortion, gay-rights, blow jobs, cigar dildos...For us, moral values includes such things as basic human rights etc.

4. Yes, we are morons


Look at the President's approval rating, the exit polls, hell, even Tucker Carlson predicted a Kerry win.

They cheated. The electronic polling machines were probably the tool they used, either that, or manipulation with computers at a more centralized vote tallying location.

To answer your question, YES, we are fucking MORONS, because we don't even have a goddamn clue how they did it.

Now we sit back like the gullible IDIOTS we are, just like Paul today on Crossfire, because we let them get away with it.

Btw, I'm now moving away from the "depression" part of my shock and into the anger stage, and am ready to LEAVE THIS PARTY and join the dipshits, and at least make some fucking money off the Jesus bobbleheads and KEEP MY FAMILY SAFE in a bunker.

My family. Screw the political parties in this country, I'm sick and tired of fighting for peoples civil rights when they just throw them the FUCK AWAY like they did in this last election.

GAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. Don't give up.
And don't leave the Dems. The people did not throw away their civil rights; we may not know how they cheated, but remember--they are evil and we are not. It's hard to comprehend evil. Many of us were out busting our butts for democracy and to right a wrong and were wronged again. We are honest and hard-working. And I, like you, am leaving the depression mode and heading into pure anger. I'm not smart enough to figure out what they did. People in here are. We need to support them in making this all public. Take your anger out on the perpetrators, not the victims.

I truly believe that Kerry was threatened. If a Viet Nam war veteran with a billion dollar at his disposal was scared off by something, it must be WAY bigger than we are and I sure as hell can't fight it. Our power will come in numbers and we must stick together.

6. Aint America Great?
I dont think they are evil. I think there needs to be a reality check. We lost by a modest margin, not a lot, not a little. Did you see PBS tonight? It was surreal. Both sides sitting down together discussing, yes, discussing the issues. Jim Lehear was shaking his head saying, 'couldnt we have had this conversation during the campaign?!?'. This is how we do it in this crazy great country. We fight the good fight then make up. Dont you remember getting into fights in school then becoming friends or buddies once you both got the respect that you were willing to fight? Hell, I have. Back in just the third election, this sort of fighting was going on, even worse. Its our political process. Im feeling a little down because it was our side that was vandalizing republican head quarters. We think we are right but the ends dont justify the means. They want us to act and look like fools and we step right in it.

8. SNAP OUT OF YOUR SHOCK AND FIGHT>>CALL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY SNAP OUT OF

THERE MUST BE A NATIONAL MOVEMENT TO BAN ELECTRONIC VOTING.

IF WE WANT ELECTRONIC VOTING IT SHOULD BE BUILT BY A CONSORTIUM OF COMPANIES INCLUDING IBM, Texas Instruments, WELL KNOWN AMERICAN BRANDS THAT HAVE TRUE CREDIBILITY ISSUES.

WHo THE FUCK IS DIEBOLD??? U SEE MY POINT...THEY PROBABLY MAKE MOST OF THEIR MONEY FROM THESE MACHINES. THESE MACHINES MUST ALL BE SCRAPPED>>>AND IF WE ARE GOING TO HAVE ELECTRONIC ONES IT MUST BE BUILT BY NON-PROFIT CONSORTIUM OF MAJOR MAJOR TECH COMPANIES AND ALL CODE IS FULLY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ONLINE.

There are many silver linings to all of this....SNAP OUT OF YOUR SHOCK AND FIGHT.
