4. Who voted neither?

Would someone like to own up to this vote and explain why they think neither election was stolen? I'm not trying to flame anyone here, I sincerely would like to know.

Methinks this poll got a little freeped by a troll, but I could be wrong...

5. I suspect there may have been tampering as far back as 1998

When the "Contract on America" was introduced is when you saw the real criminals of the right wing emerge from their cocoons

8. Electoral Fraud / Voter Intimidation has a long history.

All politics revolved around the Boss. 1899 cartoon from Puck

Wood engraving published in Harper's Weekly newspaper October 21, 1871

PS. I forgot to add that I voted 'Both'!

9. That old cartoon looks new again.

It is amazing how much our ideals clash with reality. In school, a long time ago, they continually stressed the importance of voting, and how important it was for the health of our democracy. Today it seems those in power do nothing except put up more hoops for the people to jump through in order to use this most fundamental right. They are far more interested in disenfranchising the American People than raising them up.
I believe it's because they are fearful, greedy and power hungry.

Thanks for posting Breeze.:hi:

10. I'm from that

old school! ;)
It was always stressed as "My civic duty!" in school and at home. Remember that?
My mother would take me with her to vote, and explain how it all worked.
I've done the same with my kids!
They don't cover 'civic duty' much in the schools these days, if at all! :-(
It's more important (bush -> LNCB) to teach to the test, nowadays!
My youngest keeps reminding me that he'll be old enough to vote in November!
I'm sooooo proud! :rofl: Thanks for posting this topic! :hi:

11. 2000 was stolen

thus invalidating 2000 since the true president wasn't involved.

al gore was the last justly elected president in american history
