Bush was told by...Karen Hughes on Tuesday that he had lost the election

What’s coming out about election suppression and fraud goes way past whether it’s too late to find enough votes to save Kerry. Post-mortems are important, but we have a genuine opportunity to reveal the Karl Rove vote suppression strategy.

Fighting for fair elections is fundamental not just for the future, but for the present. Bush won no mandate.

While all the evidence is not in, we should be sounding the alarm that it appears that the 2004 election had problems at least as serious as 2000, and that these problems should be fully aired in the next couple of weeks. The electoral votes are counted in early December, which could provide a moment of genuine drama if the results are clearly askew. The Cleveland Plain Dealer quotes Ohio Democratic Party head Denny White as saying, “People just need to be patient and calm down” until after the votes are “certified” on Dec. 1 and then ask for a recount. What is this man thinking?

The tough case, of course, is to prove electronic voting fraud. But the incredible discrepancy between the exit polls and the actual vote in the non-paper ballot swing states is being taken seriously by all sides. Robert Parry, an excellent journalist who helped break Iran-Contra, reports it was so serious that Bush was told by his aide Karen Hughes on Tuesday that he had lost the election.

2. Who doesn't listen, chimp? What does this article really mean? That
voter fraud will be disclosed within the next several weeks?

Tanks in the streets at LA antiwar protest





LOS ANGELES, November 9, 2004 - At 7:50 PM two armored tanks showed up at an anti-war protest in front of the federal building in Westwood. The tanks circled the block twice, the second time parking themselves in the street and directly in front of the area where most of the protesters were gathered. Enraged, some of the people attempted to block the tanks, but police quickly cleared the street. The people continued to protest the presence of the tanks, but about ten minutes the tanks drove off. It is unclear as to why the tanks were deployed to this location. Uploaded here is video from the event.

6. Just wait until the inauguration
4,000 regular troops to be called up. Sounds more like an occupation than a democracy.

7. I thought that got debunked
that those tanks were being moved for the veteran's day parade (the veteran's center is practically across the street from the federal building in Westwood).

8. I heard she told him he was about to lose by a landslide. Going from
losing by a landslide to winning the election. Now that is a successfully stolen election.

10. take their words with skeptism- every word is strategy
i wouldn't put it past these sleezebags to make up this story that Rove and Hughes told the president he was going to lose, just to make it seem like they didn't know anything about a fix of the election results.
