What a great model you must be for your children - do you proudly teach them it doesn’t matter if the vote is fair or not- just as long as you win? Fine, close your mind and be happy with your new dictator- he may not last long.
For all the open-minded people out there, here is an obvious discrepancy that should be investigated- in several florida counties Bush won by a mile when registered democrats outnumbered the Republicans 2 to 1. And how strange that these huge swings only occurred in Florida optical scan counties, not in touchscreen counties... perhaps they thought the focus would be on touchscreen counties.

Aside from the statistical improbability of these #s, let’s just think in terms of basic common sense. Does anyone really think half of the registered democrats in these counties switched over to vote for Bush’s version of the New Imperial America? Come on people- certainly many 2000 Bush voters have switched sides, but there are very few, if any Gore voters that switched to vote for Bush this time. What are you going to say, his great performance in the debates convinced them? He’s a freakin madman- you can "tell that to tony blair!"
