we failed, no doubt...twice... but i, along with many others worked our butts off to spread the truth about Bush....

personally, i've known the kind of person he is since 1989 when he traded Sammy Sosa...

July 29, 1989: Traded by the Texas Rangers (managing partner, George W. Bush).... with Wilson Alvarez and Scott Fletcher to the Chicago White Sox for Harold Baines and Fred Manrique.

what a moron....

Didn't I propose to you once already? Did you ask your wife if it was ok?

It is the fault of all of us that were/are anti Bush that he is still DICTATOR George. We did not get out enough and vote. We did not ensure that in the State elections that we elected people who would oust Bush.
NOT TRUE!! Exit polls showed that Kerry WON in Florida and Ohio. Dr. Freeman from the University of Pennsylvania’s ania’s Center for Organizational Dynamics analyzed the exit polling data for his Nov. 10 paper The Unexplained Exit Poll Discrepancy.

Quote:

“Exit polls showed [Kerry] ahead in nearly every battleground state, in many cases by sizable margins,” Freeman wrote. “But then in key state after key state, counts were showing very different numbers than the polls predicted; and the differentials were all in the same direction.”... Freeman charts the data, taken from the CNN web site, “before the data changed,” showing the predicted versus actual percentages in battleground states. “In 10 of the 11 consensus battleground states, the tallied margin differs from the predicted margin, and in every one, the shift favors Bush.”... For example, exit polls in Ohio indicated that Kerry would win by 4.2 points with 52.1 percent... In Pennsylvania Kerry was predicted to win by 8.7 points but won by only 2.2.... {and} in Florida exit polls indicated a very close race with Bush edging Kerry by one-tenth of a point... This also happened in the “battleground states” of Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico and Pennsylvania. Only in Wisconsin did the exit polls match the actual results.

Freeman’s statistical analysis for Ohio shows that Kerry’s tallied vote of 48.5 percent is an extremely unlikely result. “It turns out that the likelihood that [Kerry] received only 48.5 percent of the vote is less than one in 1,000 (.0008),” Freeman wrote.

The same analysis for Florida, where Kerry received only 47.1 percent, given that exit polls indicated 49.7 percent, is less than 3 in 1,000 (.0028), Freeman found. In Pennsylvania, the likelihood of the Kerry result having occurred is less than two in 1,000. Freeman says that the likelihood of any two of these statistical anomalies occurring together is on the order of one-in-a-million, but the odds of all three occurring together are 250 million to one

“As much as we can say in social science that something is impossible, it is impossible that the discrepancies between predicted and actual vote counts in the three critical battleground states of the 2004 election could have been due to chance or random error,” Freeman concluded. The unexplained discrepancy leaves two explanations, Freeman wrote. “The polls were flawed or the count is off. Given that neither the pollsters nor their media clients have provided a solid explanation to the public, suspicion of fraud, or among the less accusatory, ‘mistabulation,’ is running rampant and unchecked.

This outlook has since been signed by over two dozen statisticians and political experts, many of whom are renowned PhDs and experts in their fields.

What you REALLY need to do is pressure your Secretary of State NOT to allow unverifiable electronic voting. And then you and your buds need to go observe the vote counting.

OK that would help, if the electoral college - the entity that REALLY elects the President - were full of Democrats, and the only way that is going to happen is if we get out in the State Elections and fill the seats with Dems.

You know I’m normally Mr. Look-at-the-issue-from-both-sides but right now I’m going my inner lefty say “HA!”. I’m so glad the US has come to realise what the rest of the would has known for so long, that Dubya is a dick. Well he works for one…

He consented to an interview with RTE over here in 2004 and wouldn’t you know it the interview asked him ACTUAL questions about ACTUAL things with ACTUAL follow-ups. The barely contained anger on his face during was as funny as it was frightening. I’ll see if I can find a link to a transcript so I can post it here. Afterwards the US posted a complaint to both the RTE and the Irish embassy. All that for simply being asked the kind of questions an Irish politician would be faced with on a day to day basis. As I say both funny and deeply worrying.
