Hmmm...what if Bush didn't get *any* votes in 2004...?
With all this talk of election fraud, there seems to me to be an obvious possibility that no one has explored yet--namely, that Chimpy didn't get *a single vote from anyone, anywhere, in the entire United States last year*. Sound impossible, you say? Maybe...but I wonder. Bush himself is more than likely to have fucked up in the voting booth, and accidentally have voted for Kerry--or maybe the Natural Law Party, or for all I know, "accidentally" written in Harold Stassen... Laura? she, the White House people--they're not fools, they knew all along what a disaster this Administration has been...and no one knows who *really* voted for whom, in the privacy of the booth...
Then there's the "Republican base". But remember before the election--how many people wrote and told us of discussions with long-time GOP friends, family, co-workers, who said that this year they were fed up with this crowd, and how they were voting for Kerry? Well--if you believe the official "results", most of them held their noses and voted for Moron. But what if they *didn't*...? What if *all* of them secretly voted for Kerry, assuming that everyone else was really voting for Bush?
Who else? Rush Limbaugh? He was probably too hopped up on his meds to actually go out and *vote*. The usual right-wing media crowd either stood on their hands, too ashamed--yes, even they were too ashamed--to actually vote for Chimpy. So--when Diebold or whomever actually looked at the results, they found that not *one* American voted for George W Bush...and they were off to the races. The opportunity for truly original creativity regarding the vote count was present--a real work of art, a fantasia of "election results". After all--who'd believe it? From the beginning, I've always believed that the wholesale shifting of millions of Kerry votes to Bush, enough to blow away his popular vote "majority", was likelier than the relatively small-scale theft in Ohio to steal the Electoral College, on the basis that a Big Lie--or theft--is easier to swallow than a Small Lie, that could be exposed too readily. But it seems clearer to me as time passes that I was thinking too small. *All* the votes were stolen--and everyone was too ashamed to admit that they never voted for him at all...

1. sadly, given the level of corruption of this administration and its
corporate handlers, I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

3. I saw lots and lots of Bush bumper stickers & yard signs in 2004.
Perhaps you really partied a LOT last night?

4. You must live in a VERY liberal place!
I went to a party last night and sad to say most were conservatives. I wasn't even interested in bringing up politics but someone did.

The nice thing is I left soon after. I had another party waiting anyways. I wish I had left sooner.

5. Welcome to DU!!!
Unfortunately, those of us who live in so-called "red states" know many people who voted for him, and
continue to support him. What I find odd, is that even though they support *, I fail to get much support
as a working mother whose husband is in Iraq. Guess I shouldn't be surprised!

Hope you enjoy this site, it's great! :hi:

7. Nobody voted for Nixon either
It became much harder to find people who would admit to it.

IN another year "election Theft" will be much more mainstream because it gives the country "Cover" for letting this freak in the White House.

8. Theoretically possible - as results are fictional anyway
We know there were W voters, but before you lend credibility to their numbers remember the electoral rallies: W had the same audience bused from place to place while Kerry had ten times the numbers showing up spontaneously. So, while I take the OP premise as reductio ad absurdum, I invite you to consider that not only did Kerry win, but he did so by a very wide margin.
