Elections-Elected USA

by Jane Stillwater

While I was on vacation, I talked with people from all over America. "I have here in my hand," I told them, "absolute proof that George Bush stole the 2004 election."

No one wanted to see my proof.

No one even cared.

If I had made this outrageous statement to George Washington or Thomas Jefferson, they would have ripped the documents right out of my hand in their haste to get to the truth. "What do you mean — election fraud? That’s a serious accusation. Can you REALLY prove it? Either show us some real proof or shut up about it."

If I were a patriotic American and someone offered to show ME proof that a US presidential election had been stolen, I would want to see it. Is this actually true or is this person some kind of nut or kook?

Americans all want to find out more about Ripley’s two-headed calf. But what about the strange case of the stolen 2004 election? It is possibly an even bigger scandal than that Bush was warned at least 28 times about an attack on America prior to 9-11. It is the Mount Rushmore of chicanery, the amazing shrunken head of deceit, the Grand Canyon of skulduggery and the two-ton pizza of voter fraud.

So. What was the reaction of the average American when I promised them all this irrefutable PROOF of massive voter fraud? "Ho hum. That’s boring. Let’s talk about something else." This is the most shocking accusation ever made and NO ONE IS INTERESTED.

"Please!" I begged Americans. "If you care about honesty and decency and the soul of America, please just read this!" They sighed, shook their heads, looked inconvenienced and fervently hoped that I would just shut up and go away.

"Five convicted felons wrote the Diebold software!" I cried. "EVERY SINGLE ONE of the thousands of errors detected on Florida voting machines were in favor of George Bush! Private companies sworn to elect Bush counted 80% of America’s votes! In at least ten Ohio precincts with only 600 registered voters each, 4,000 per precinct voted for Bush!"

Even though every word of what I say about the 2004 stolen election can be proved, no one believes me. No one listens to me. No one cares.

This response by Americans is so strange, so weird, so truly bizarre that is deserves to be published in Ripley’s Believe it or Not!

Not to mention that two (2) stolen US presidential elections in a row should surely make the Guinness Book of World Records.

  • I cannot understand how people can be so apathetic. They must be afraid of being accused of ’poor sportsmanship’—as if the issue at hand is no more serious than a football game. People shy away from things that are controversial for fear of being personally criticized.

    To quote Winston Churchill:

    “Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.”

    However he also said:

    “The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.”

  • i think both gore and kerry were told by theirs bosses, (who are also bush’s bosses), to be good sports, and concede right away if if you want to continue youre career as a politician...rob

  • If kerry don’t fight for this he can go to hell. I will vote for a third party candicate next time we must get these bums out of office. teddy

    • I agree Teddy. If Kerry cannot Report For Duty Next Week we should all vote third party in 2008. Is it true Kerry will be in the Middle East next week? Phil

    • I agree with you 100%! I worked for Kerry’s campaign and assured very anxious voters (scared to death of Bush being elected), that Kerry would have people out their looking for fraud and would fight for their rights. I was sold-out!! Because of them I betrayed a confidence that people had in me and I felt horrible, he didn’t fight for us.
      If he doesn’t show up on Jan 6 and be the Senator to protest the Ohio Electoral votes thennone of us should waste our time voting for the Democrats again. Hell, why even bother to vote, as it’s all fixed anyway??

  • FYI, some of us in the US are frantic about what happened on November 2. For example, 400,000 people have signed MoveOn.org’s petition requesting an investigation into voting fraud. But you are right - most Americans just do not care, including the so-called "leadership" of the Democratic party. I find this unfathomable. And terrifying.

    What little media coverage there has been has implied that only black people were defrauded of the right to vote. However, my 83-year-old mother, a registered democrat in Colorado (another swing state) received three phone calls on November 2 reminding her to be sure and go to the polls to vote "tomorrow, November 3." In other words, she was being told to vote on the day _after_ the election. She is white and a Mormon (yes, there are Mormon democrats; she worked in an effort to register blacks to vote in the late 1940’s while living in Louisianna). Do I think that the Republican efforts to defraud her of her right to vote is more important than the Republican efforts to defraud black people in Ohio (and Florida) of their right to vote? Absolutely not. On the contrary, I very much want the Democratic Party and the Kerry/Edwards campaign to stop acting like closet racists and fight these illegal and immoral tactics. Tactics, hell! These are crimes.

    • I was one of those who signed the Move On petition, but where did they go with it? Ihaven’t heard any more?

  • I would be willing to say that most of the many millions who voted for Kerry would be very interested indeed to know that election fraud took place.

    If we allow this "administration" (of thugs) to continue, there won’t be anything left. They’ll strip the US of everything that matters then take on the rest of the world. You think I’m exaggerating? That’s their agenda. These are dangerous, dangerous men.

    • Most people don’t take the fraud accusations seriously because they generally trust the news media, who will report next to nothing about this, even in instances when the info is undisputedly factual. Most people don’t even know what’s going on about the Ohio vote, or the events that led to it. I blame the dominate corporate owned media for downplaying this whole thing as merely internet "conspiracy theories". If news reporters did their job as muck rakers we’d be better informed, but until this happens people will go along with whatever mainstream news implies is important. We trust the conglomerated media empires to our own peril.

      The fact that this story appears in news of the weird is depressing. In itself, it’s evidence of trivialization (is that a word?) by those who have the most control of our news sources.

      Look for corporate owned media to discredit the internet as a news source increasingly in the future, because they are directly threatened by it.

      My advice? You have to dig for the real news yourself, by comparing as many viewpoints and sources as possible.

    • Pat,
      Lets only hope we still have the internet to go to. You can bet they are working on blocking this source, as it’s the only one not yet in their control!
      Is it 1984???

  • You cannot underestimate the depth of the media induced brainwashing. I live in Tampa and the people here are sleep walking sheep. There is widespread mental disfunction. If the government came and took their kids away in the middle of the night they would just wave little flags and say "Praise Jesus, if Bush wants our kids it must be Gods will"

    • Fuck God, look what a mess he has made here....are these acts he is responsible for supporting Bush acts of a kind and loving father? Of course not. The phony Christians would tell you that God is not responsible for anything. Until things that they agree with, and then its thank God for this and thank God for that, is this God so pathetic that he is only responsible selectively? Is he so weak that he can not stop a war that his deciple Bush consulted him directly on? Is he so bloodthirsty that he wouldn’t direct his deciple to go after Saddam only selectively and not to destroy 100,000 lives in a country that had already been starved and boycotted and denied even medical aid, a country that had already lost 1million of its citizens due to sanctions imposed on Saddam. What an evil monster that would direct the likes of Bush to take more human lives, and not just of fetuses that were not wanted....these were young children, children, teenagers, young and old women, old and young men, without regard for individual right or wrong....how disgusting.

  • Could you please cite your proof? Maybe a link to a website with your sources?

    • Have you seen any t.v. news stories about the stolen election??? There is your proof or don’t you believe your own knowledge?

  • Where is your proof????

    • Where’s the proof W. won???

    • I DONT GIVE A DAMN ,BUSH WAS SMARTER THAN KERRY IN THIS ELECTION ITS GOOD THAT THE SMARTER ONE WON EVEN THOUGH HE CHEATED ( MAYBE )

    • Proof, name one "mainstream" new source that is covering this huge story?

    • Here is your proof. Go outside right now and ask ten different people what they know about the problems in Ohio on Nov 2nd. You will get a blank stare from 9 of them.

    • You want this blog to really take off? Let’s talk about some important news like Laci Peterson, Paris Hilton and Robert Blake....you know, big news stories that deserve lots of column inches! Day after day on the front page. Did you hear about Anna Nicole Smith? She didn’t get her millions! I read it on CNN. The election? There were problems? Where? In Idaho? Wow, I didn’t read it anywhere. Well, it probably wasn’t crucial to the outcome I bet, or it woulda got some ink.

    • It’s not about overturning the election, it’s about correcting our system of voting, to prevent voter apathy and suspicion. The only way to get this discussed is to contest the outcome. That’s the law. That is the method to get this talked over and corrected by our elected representatives. Many people who showed up on november 2nd simply didn’t GET TO VOTE. If you’re a blue collar, busy parent you can’t stand there for FOUR HOURS or more, then get sent to another line to stand in for 2 more! That’s unacceptable. Write your senator today and tell him or her to have the guts to be the hero who contests this. It’s only takes ONE senator. I guess I can live with Bush, I just don’t want this vote irregularity bullshit anymore.

    • The link below lists how election problems interferred with a fair election in Ohio....enough to influence the outcome. It doesn’t matter if it was intentional or not, it still needs fixed.

      If you require a "mainstream" source you don’t get it. ALL mainstream sources have corporate ownership these days, so they won’t report a touchy story like this.

    • more proof

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_U.S._Election_controversies_and_irregularities

    • They won’t report it because they own it. They cause these stories to happen and then do not inform the public f them.

    • The immediate goal is to write or call a Senator, but the long term goal has to be to boycott/ expose the media for the corrupt institution that they are in this country!

    • I believe that the credibility of mainstrean media is already declining, especially TV. The latest generation of Americans are already watching less TV news and going to the internet for news more and more. I agree with the person above who fears that the internet is the next target of censorship. What can be done about that, I wonder...

      Pat in Iowa again

  • there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this past election was stolen. there are numerous examples detailing specific incidences of voter fraud. but, the real fraud that occured will never surface. it happened in untraceable cyberspace. no one can prove it, but given the accuracy of exit polling, there is no other explanation. the truly disturbing thing about the election though is not that it was stolen, but the response by kerry and the democratic party. in my opinion it proves that our two party system is run by some type of ’wizard of oz’, working behind the scenes to control american and world politics. you can call me a nut, but in my opinion, anyone who is unwilling to acknowledge the possibility of what i have stated as being the truth is brainwashed, delusional or both.

    • you speak the truth my brother!

    • I watched the so called "debate" yesterday, and the Democratic senators (outside of Barbara Boxer) were a bunch of pussies. It was inspiring to hear the disinfranchised speak accurately and convincingly, but no other senators stood up! Where was the support? The Republicans sounded like a broken record, saying over and over that it was about bitterness and overturning the election, between every statement that declared that it likely wouldn’t change the outcome this time, and made reasonable arguments for election reform. I’m beginning to think that Democrat’s personal political careers are much more important to them than representing the people of America, who supposedly elected them to represent them. I voted Democrat out of desperation, but I’ve had it with the Democrats. Like it or not, we DO need a third party to run the country. These people don’t represent us anymore. They’re all REPUBLOCRATS. The difference between the two main parties is no different than Coke and Pepsi.

      Pat

    • Pat, the solution is to NOT VOTE join the other 50+%, this is the only way to expose a phony "democracy"...why do you think they are so worried about the Iraqi voting? They know if only a minority of the people vote in the election, they can not declare it a democracy...the same applies even more so to this country.

    • I doubt apathy will expose anything. Not that I have an alternative....
      Pat

    • I am a Democrat grandmother. Correction I was a Democrat.I know I shall still be here to vote in 2008. Well, I pray I am. I shall vote a third party, not Democrat most definitely NOT. I subscribed, I wroted, I preached Democrat all for naught. It was within our grasp and they have let it slide, slip, or just fizzle out. Where are you Senator Kerry and Senator Edwards, and the leadership for that matter. I do hope that Dan Rather of CBS keeps up his good work. He is not afraid to speak. We need more Dan Rathers.and DON"T ever forget Mr. Al Sharpton, he says it like it is.

    • Forgive my typing. should be I voted not wroted and 2006 not 2006. Bad eyesight, dreadful typist.
