Tell me 2004 wasn't fixed, HA!
One of the findings most surprising to the authors of the study was that only 31 percent of people who gave the maximum, $1,000, to Bush in 2000, including those who made non-Internet donations, contributed in 2004.

2. And it was stolen twice.
And so was the Senate in 2002.
And it will happen again until our so called Democratic leaders step up to the plate and accept the truth.

4. Stolen
but I will say this, IF you check my name you would only see ONE $250 donation to Kerry, BUT IN FACT I gave around $900 to Kerry, but they only track donations in the amount of $250 or more. I gave almost monthly to Kerry but at $100 per donation except the one $250. :)

5. Imposter in the White House.
Somehow, that's a comforting thing to say. As if that makes it easier to get rid of him.

7. Imposter
How George W. Bush bankrupted America and betrayed the Regan Legacy by Bruce Bartlett

Chapter 2: The End of Serious Policy Analysis, page 20

"One of the hallmarks of George W. Bush's approach to policy that is disturbing both to
friends and foes alike is an apparent disdain for serious thought and research to develop
his policy initiatives. Often they seem born from a kind of immaculate conception, with
no mother or father to claim parentage. As a consequence, Bush's policy initiatives are
frequently underdeveloped, leading to both substantive and political mistakes that could have been avoided, hurting his policies and political fortunes at the same time."

Thought you would enjoy this quote

:-)

8. And somehow Bush FOUND 11million new voters when Rove was only
targeting 4million new voters for 2004. VERY curious - especially since I was working at Dem HQ in NC and every day for months we sold Kerry lawn signs by the dozens to disgusted Bush2000 voters.

I have no doubt that NC was stolen.

9. To quote the Imposter Book again
which I cited above (it's by Bruce Bartlett)

page 14

"The closeness of the result is partialy explained by the fact that only 82 percent
of self described conservatives voted for Bush, with 18 percent voting for John
Kerry, according to exit polls."

How was Bush's margin growing when his base was eroding.
