Have you ever heard...
"Bush WON the Popular Vote in 2000, so shut up you Libbies!!!!"

3. I don't. They can't prove who won since transparency in our elections has
been ripped away and given he steals everything else, I'm sure he stole 2004. The exit polls were RIGHT.

2. No, I've never heard that.
I might freak out, hand out a few knuckle sandwiches.

All I ever hear is, "Ha, ha, you libbies, don't you believe in the constitution? Because it says the popular vote doesn't matter."

WhatEVER. He won neither the popular nor the electoral vote -- he was chosen by the SC.

4. There is a reason for high IQ societies
Edited on Mon Oct-03-05 06:41 PM by Juniperx
If you think in terms of IQ, 49% of the population has a lower than average IQ. It is for this reason, among many others, that many people don't take kindly to being lumped into larger groups. Many would rather be in the 2% of the population that thinks a little differently. No lemmings or sheeple in that group. The fact that you can't get Democrats to lock-step or even agree on one thing most of the time tends to make me think they as a group are comprised of the top 49% IQ group.

You can address music, film, literature and many other things with this thought.

On film: Great box-office does not equal great cinema.

6. No, he lost the popular vote in 2000
Edited on Mon Oct-03-05 06:48 PM by ck4829
But, I swear...

I saw one guy who claimed that Bush won the popular vote... And that he was touched by God.

Freepers are still claiming that Bush won 2000 "in a landslide".
