Republican Cyberterrorists Attacking Electoral-Vote.com

The site has had technical problems repeatedly in the past several days and has been down several times. I didn't want to discuss this, but I don't want anyone to think the problem was an incompetent hosting service. Just the opposite. The site has been subjected to a full-scale, well-organized, massive attack with the clear intention to bring it down. The attackers have tried repeatedly to break in, but the server is a rock-solid Linux system which has stood up to everything they threw at it and hasn't crashed since I got it in May. While our troops are fighting and dying to bring freedom of speech to the Iraqi people, there are forces in America who find this concept no longer applicable to America. I don't know who is behind this attack yet (although we are working it), but it is too professional to be some teenager working from a home PC. Given that all the hate mail and threats I get come entirely from Republicans, I can make an educated guess which side is trying to silence me, but I won't say. And I won't surrender to cyberterrorists.

2. Hey Slim. Love your site. BUT, how about MOEs?

Edited on Tue Oct-12-04 11:26 AM by endnote

There is NOTHING about margins of error!!! A 3% lead with a MOE of +/-1.5% is way better than a 5% lead with a MOE of +/-5%, no ? So, using just the raw numbers is kind of misleading... Any reason for your choice ? Thanks!

4. It's not my site

Edited on Tue Oct-12-04 11:27 AM by slim

I just copied that over from today's update on the site. The Freepers don't like the recent trends, apparently.

3. If repugs are trying to silence you

that only tells me that there's going to be information there that righties won't like at all. Nice site btw.

God help us all if the election is that close. But I don't think it will be.

6. America has a lot of sick people, too sick to be able to realize

what the Right-Wing is doing. Hello America, please wake up. They are stealing our Country and you are assisting them.

7. Doesn't look good today:

Kerry 260 Bush 274 at http://www.electoral-vote.com/

This site is cool, but the lack of MOE information makes me wonder about the validity of the entire analysis...

8. Every day I ask myself "How could this be happening"?

How much evidence of malfeasance and malice would be required for them to realize at least some of the truth about the Bush administration?
