7. People who roll their eyes about fraud are first to blame their own puters
I'm not talkin' about you, I'm talking about the ones walking around with the bush pulled over their eyes.

Technology is a double-edged sword. Let's hope our edge is sharper.

29. Exactly...EVERY business has constant computer malfunctions...
right? Even when there's no intentional fraud involved, software bugs are very, very common, hardware breakdowns are frequent and human errors happen every day. We constantly audit & question bank records, right? No one says that's a crazy idea. What would be the reaction if your bank told customers that there would be no paper trail & no auditing & if you didn't just trust them & accept their numbers without question, then you must be a crazy conspiracy theorist? :argh:

9. I don't understand why anyone would think questioning...
Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 06:14 PM by Zookeeper
these elections results is crazy, especially after the 2000 election. Why would anyone trust that BushCo would settle for an honest contest? Even people who think Smirk is a moral man of God would find it completely acceptable for him to cheat to win. (Hey, this is about the triumph of Christianity!)

Add that to Diebold, greedy oil, timber, mining and ranching interests, big defense contractors and ambitious Rethug politicians and a person would have to be a real fool to think this election couldn't be rigged.

10. You're right
We all saw what happened in 2000 and it was documented. They've done it before - why wouldn't they do it again?

As the chimpy said, "Fool me once.... Fool me... We won't get fooled again."

20. Exactly!
I knew they would cheat, I just thought we would bury them in votes, making it harder for them to cheat. Maybe we did?

25. I believe it was a close election...
and they tweaked the voting machines just enough that it wouldn't be completely obvious. Like others have said, their cheating was pretty crude in the last election, but they've had four years to figure out how to do it right.

But, who knows? Maybe we did bury them in votes, and we're just "misunderestimating" Kerry's appeal.

14. Yes, take a HUGE bow
I was skeptical at first, but people kept pushing it so I took another look, and I am ashamed that I was skeptical. You folks are exactly right - they stole it!

23. Critical thinking
and data collection/analysis vs. paranoid schizophrenia. Some people can't discern the difference.

I applaud anyone who chooses to sacrifice the bliss of ignorance in favor of pursuing the absolute truth.

24. My theory ...
Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 07:57 PM by lanparty
As Iraq heats up, the strain on or military will increase to the breaking point. In order to get the draft, he'll drug our goalie again and let another attack sneak through.

This time, they'll find some Syrian and Iranian passports on top of a giant pile of rubbel. Than they'll have their justification in a "fortress America" scenario where it's us against the "axis of evil".

When confront with Bush's affirmations that "we won't have an all volunteer army ... errrr .... we WILL have an all volunteer army" he'll simply say "that's pre<date for next scheduled attack> thinking!!! I always said we'd have an all volunteer army unless we're attacked again!!! I hit another trifecta. Now watch this drive!!!"

26. Hiya, reporting in.
Just had two of my democratic yet newly political friends :eyes: at me when I started talking about all the voting, computer, and polling inconsistencies.

Seems we just didn't "get out the vote." And about half the U.S. population is just deluded and stupid. But that's okay, because my newly political friends are much more intelligent and sophisticated than the "average" voter. My turn :eyes:

What on earth is it called when you refuse to see what is right before your eyes?

I'm pretty sure I'm right, but all my family and some of my friends are beginning to worry about me.
