I find the whole election extremely suspicious for the following reasons:
(Feel free to add reasons)

1) Bush is not a popular "president." How come a "historic" number of Americans got off their fat asses to protect his boily one?

2) How did contentious states in which people were still voting until relatively recently get called before daylight?

3) What happened to all those new Democratic voters? What happened to the 18-30s who were registering en masse just weeks ago?

4) What happened to all the African Americans who flooded the polls today unexpectedly?

5) Why don't the exit polls match the results? Why is it only when Bush is running that there's that discrepancy?

11. Yes; Kerry won in the exit polling for both OH and FL; Rove made some
sort of response about his worry about this, saying that they had apparently relied too much on them--this is a cover for their fraudulence with the voting machines; record numbers of voters did not turn out for B* but for the PRESIDENT KERRY!!!!!!

6. but, but, but.....
I would never get out of line. No THINKING person would.

Where was the black vote?
where was the youth vote?
Good lord, where was the medicare recipient vote?
Where was the vote for those who THINK & can connect the dots?

Ugh, I feel sick!

3. I can't believe it either
6) That so many of those same people were so damned scared of Osama that the ran to the polls to vote for Bush to protect their asses some more. We almost deserve another death enema.

4. How in the HELL did all this activism result in ZERO increases?
So, zero results from people on the ground daily for a couple of years?

Off topic, but, the electoral college has got to go! It's there to protect the least populous states? To hell with them!

12. But if you have voting machines that are at fault, the popular vote is
screwed...so who cares about the EV's...this time the Popular vote is wrong, and my sickening conclusion is that there is big time fraud--but these people have themselves covered with their Christain Morality value win...so full of bull.

5. I absolutely do not believe that Chimpy honestly won Florida...
I will be sick if Kerry concedes this race tonight. We will find the same kind of Rethuglican voter fraud that happened in 2000, but we have to leave the race open....NO CONCESSION!

7. Jeb fixed it for him. Greg Palast is right: they started by purging

the voting rolls of trouble makers. I think they're counting on the naivete of the masses, who would never believe in a million years their "leaders" would fix elections--not even for their "leader's" brother.
