So, everything went exactly as I expected
Edited on Sun Nov-07-04 07:18 AM by Cronus
The run up to the election was a clear landslide for Kerry - a simple look at the election event crowds for each candidate would tell a disinterested observer that, and the exit polls corroborate what we all expected. Kerry won the debates. Bush is a buffoon. Remember the hump? The sweating? The blinking? The inability to list a single mistake?

Kerry won the vote, and the machines didn't record it properly, Democratic voters were held out in the cold for hours, causing many to either give up or not bother, there were purge lists, overvoting (log doesn't match votes cast), machine "errors", malfunctions, thousands of Democratic voters cast provisional ballots due to aggressive and selective Republican challenges, and perhaps a million or more Democratics used mail-in ballots to make sure their votes counted, yet they still aren't counted and many may have been invalidated, lost or poorly disposed.

The only thing that hasn't happened that I predicted are the lawsuits.

So, if I'm right, this is the lull before the storm. This is the period where everyone's making sure they don't go off half-cocked; dotting their eyes, crossing their tees, because these lawsuits will determine if America still exists as we've known it. These lawsuits are going to help us take America back from the fascists.

So I look forward to Monday and Tuesday of next week, because the fraud stories will have to reach the top media and gain credibility when lawsuits are filed.

There are going to be tons of lawsuits, right?

:wtf:

1. All the other things you predicted
were dependent on the Republicans. They did not disappoint. The last thing though is dependent on the Democratic leadership showing some fight. Alas!

2. it was never a clear landslide for Kerry
bush had the advantage of being incumbant and war time president. there is also the issue of many people out there being uninformed and totally ignorant of the facts. these people tend to support bush.

4. It was clear as a freaking bell to me and millions of others
Sorry, but you're drinking the cool aid if you couldn't see a landslide for ANYBODY BUT BUSH, ie KERRY.

Show your support for the president, wear a FUCK BUSH button!

3. you're right....
and I'm sure you also predicted that the media would lamely accept the new Repuke version of the events: mandate for Bush from values-lovin' Christians.

Now, will we allow this to stand?

So many others have posted "what's the point?" commentaries, but I do think it's important to continue to push this issue, if only to have the real story come out years down the road?

Remember the Greg Palast exclusive about Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush's purge list of black voters?
That was within days of the 2000 election.
You know how long before the NY Times acknowledged it and ran their own article on it?
Three and a half YEARS!!!!
But it is part of the record now, and we have to build this recognition that voter fraud is not only possible, but was rampant in this so-called mandate for Bush.
