When Bush loses, he will NEVER be an elected President, that will

be his nemesis. The only President in HISTORY to have NEVER been elected by the people!

Bush would be the only one that won because of the supream court, basicaly he needed the help of all his care takers to get into office, how pitiful. Bush will be writen down as one of the biggest blunders in history!

Bush wins the popular vote and Kerry wins the Electoral College vote?
In politics (or in life in general), one shouldn't close all doors.

10. John Quincy Adams stole the election of 1824 from Andy Jackson

http://www.potus.com/jqadams.html

Priviledged son of an ex-president made shady, political deals to buy enough electoral votes to win. Sound familiar?

13. You guys don't get it.

Fascists don't give a damn about being elected. They consider themselves entitled to gain power any way they can and to keep it as long as they can, no matter what the democratic majority wants.

Bush believes it is his right to be President and being elected and popular isn't a concern for him or the political entity that put him there. Our other budding fascist in California, Ah-nold feels the same way.

If they didn't feel, this way, they would be ashamed to show their faces in public ever again.

17. Notice a similarity?

John Quincy Adams-Federalist (later became Republican party)-not popularly elected.
Rutherford B Hayes-Republican-not popularly elected
Gerald R Ford-Republican-not popularly elected
George W Bush-Republican-not popularly elected

How come our side never gets to "win" when we get fewer votes?

21. Gerald Ford was appointed Vice-President by Nixon

after Agnew was booted out and then became President when Nixon resigned, and proceeded to appoint Nelson Rockefeller as Vice-President.

The only time in American history where we had a President and Vice-President who had not gone through the electoral process, stolen or not - and with a President appointed by a crazy criminal who was basically ridden out of Washington, D.C. on a rail to boot.

Scary, huh? Makes stealing elections look right tame.
