Oh I just had a scary thought about 2005 elections.
I was about to close down my laptop and step away from my desk when it crossed my mind. What if the GOP left well enough alone and let the Democrats fairly take NJ and VA....to alleviate scrutiny in 2006? Why do I do this to myself?

1. We beat them in 2001, and then they killed us a year later
It's not entirely out of the question, assuming that the Touch-Screen machines are rigged. I personally don't know if the Republicans will go to great lengths to rig every election, but what I detest about the machines is that they can be hacked and do not offer proof on who you voted.

2. It's precisely that uncertainty that sends my thoughts spinning.

3. it is all rigged
they ended up demand a hand count where I am last time out. And the winner was .... more than even before.

And yes, they had to COUNT EVERY GOD DAMN VOTE BY HAND AND YES, THE PERSON RETAINED HIS JOB!

Damn these recounters! They are the beginning of the "rig" ... and from there they move on.

CountAllVotes

4. I can live with the results of ANY fair election.
Because I believe in the goodness of the American people.

5. You think it because you are aware of how Machiavellian Bush bastards are.
We'd have to be fools to not think about every angle with these thugs. And YOU are no fool.

6. LOL
Yeah, why do you do this to yourself? Believe me, the Dems winning 2005 fair and square won't alleviate scrunity about 2006 whatsoever. I think there's even more people paying attention to election fraud next year than there were last year...
