Did Bush Really Win Florida?

Do you think Bush really won Florida? The take a look at This Chart and tell me why there is such a huge shift in votes in favor of Bush as compared to the expected results. Especially when the exit polls - not shown in the graph - agree with the respected results.

Did Bush Win Cleanly?

Letter to the Editor

There is a lot of evidence of massive voter fraud in the last election. But people seem to think that Bush won by a margin bigger that the amount of fraud that he might have committed. To me - if someone has to cheat to win, and then they win - they can't come back at the end and claim they won fairly because they would have won anyway if they hadn't cheated. To me the cheating always taints the results and undermines the legitimacy of the cheater. But that's my moral values - and other people have different moral values than I do.

Who is Smarter? People in Red or Blue States?

What is the relationship between IQ and voting? Well - This Site answers the question. And it explains why Republicans want to gut Head Start and education.

NBC Criticizes Bloggers for Election Conspiracy Theories

I was watching the NBC evening news tonight as they dismissed people like me who question the results of the election - inferring that we are all part of the tin foil hat club. But where do left wing nutcases like myself get our information? What makes us think there's something to this? Well - I saw in on a report by Keith Oberman of MSNBC who spelled out a lot of the details. Areas where there are more votes than voters - areas that are 80% Democrat voting 80% for Bush - and exit polls that show a kerry landslide? And we are suppoed to trust these results?

So if NBC wants to understand why we don't trust the election - it's because we are watching NBC. If this election wasn't stolen - no one would ever know it because of all the cheating.

The Republican message is - we may have cheated - but we would have won anyway! Trust us - we have a mandate!

Where have we heard THAT before?

Who is Alberto Gonzales?

Here's yet another story that you won't see in the Republican press. Who os Alberto Gonzales? He's the guy who did the legal work to justify the torture at Abu Ghraib prison. The Bush administration wanted to torture people and needed a legal justification. The needed someone to torture and twist the law and the constitution to justify bush's position in case torture and murder came to light. Alberto Gonzales was the hatchet man who did the job.

Here's an example of his work. This is a guy who should be in jail for war crimes - not as attorney general.

Veterans vs. Draft Dodger - who is tougher?

This is the start of my review of the elections. So who is tougher? Most people would think veterans are - and if you do - you are wrong.

Lets go down the list and see who's tough and who's a pussy.

1. Bush - draft dodger - politically tough. This guy is crooked as hell but he kicks butt. Bush can get right in your face and tell a boldface lie so well he could probably pass a polygraph test. This is a guy who argues "Why should we tax the rich? The just cheat their way out of paying anyhow." To Bush - honest is for suckers. The most important thing in politics is sincerity - and once you learn hor to fake that you have it made.
   
2. Kerry - war hero - pussy. He had a choice to get tough or be nice. He chose to be nice and he lost. He could have got tough and told the truth the way it is - but he wimped out. He could have stood up and fought for it - but he had to be politically correect when we needed someone who was going to win.
   
3. Al Gore - pussy - Gore served in Vietnam - barely - but he did serve. But he's a guy who was to cowardly to stand up with Clinton because the Republicans suckered him into deamonizing him.
   
4. Clinton - draft dodger - Kicks Republican butt like there's no tomorrow. Clinton won two elections in a landslide and even during his impeachment the Democrats gaind seats in the House and Senate and the impeachment forced two major Republicans - Newt and Livingston - out of being Speaker of the House. Democrats who stuck with Clinton won. Democrats who abandoned him lost.
   
5. Bob Dole - war hero - well - he got shot in the hand anyhow. Sellout and pussy best describe him. Served his country with honor. Clinton totally kicked his ass. Dole was a political coward. he was so owned by the Tobacco indusrty that he wasn't allowed to say that cigarettes were bad for you. It's not just that he lost to Clinton - but that he sold his loyalties to someone other than the American people. Dole is a discrace to America.
   
6. Bush Senior - Veteran Mr. Winp Factor - pussy - Won his first election on Reagans coat tails but was no match for the draft dodging Clinton who focused like a laser beam and totally kicked his ass.
   
7. John McCain - Prisoner of War - pussy - sellout - McCain hates bush but you would never know it except for a few moments where McCains conscience crys out and he can help but to speak the truth. But he is soon slapped down by his Republican owners and wimpers off like a puppy who has been slapped on the nose with a rolled up newspaper. To call McCain Bush's butt boy would be too generous. For someone who spent 5 years in a POW camp you would thin McCain would be tough. But the GOP has surgically removed his spine and he is little more than a puppet and an embarrassment to even think of his as an American.
   
8. Reagan - draft dodger - but reagan kicks ass. no one out there looks a Ronald Reagan as a wimp even though he served not one day in the millitary. No one will say that Reagan isn't tough. When you compare politicians to Reagan - veterans like Dole and McCain don't even qualify to be in his shadow.
   

The bottom line is that there seems to be an inverse relationship between millitary servive and being politically tough. And I don't think its a coincidence. People who serve in the millitary aren't leaders or free thinkers. Their job is to serve - to obey. To fight and die isn't necessarilly a brave thing or something that come from strength. To not fight and die and to survive often does. People like John McCain, John Kerry, Bob Dole, and Al Gore - these men are not leaders. In contrast - George Bush, Ronald Reagan, and Bill Clinton are. These are people who aren't afraid of what other people think and they lead the direction - not follow others. And this is not to put down the sacrifices that people in the millitary make - but - making them a leader after a life of following is just putting them in the wrong job.

Media Blames Bloggers

Letter to the Editor

The Republican controlled news media is blaming bloggers for reporting early that Kerry had won the election. As a blogger I find that amusing because we got our information from pollsters like John Zogby of the Zogby poll who announced the day before the election that Kerry was going to win by a landslide. We also got our information from the real results of the exit polls that showed Kerry winning by a landslide. Were bloggers like me wrong about what we reported? No - we weren't.

The real story now is that with electronic voting on voting machines that are easily hacked, and in states like Ohio where the Secretary of State who counts the votes was also the state chairman for the Bush campaign, that the system is so riddled with fraud that we don't know who really won the election. The real story is that in areas with voting machines that are easily tampered with that the supposed error in the exit polls are far greater than areas with paper ballots and the error was all in favor of Bush. But if you want the details of those stories - you won't find that in the mainstream press. You have to get online and read the blogs.

Moral Values and Vote Suppression

I'm still trying to figure out this election. I've been really busy lately but I do have things to say, and I will say them.

But - this idea that Bush was elected on moral values is insane. I suppose cheating and voter suppression is a moral value? Supposedly they determined this from exit polls? The same exit polls that indicated Kerry won by a landslide? Sorry - Karl Rove wrote that script and I'm not buying it.

Bush Election leaves all problems unsolved

Nothing changes. We are still losing the war in Iraq, we are still bankrupting the country, we still have a moron in charge, and we are still heading in the wrong direction.
