10. That was the 2000 election, but you are right that we did vote for Gore in 2000.
And, just like 2004, the election was cheated away from us.

2. You believe that wasn't a hacked figure by millions of votes!
Who could be so naive.

4. Even if they stole 20 million votes
it still leaves 40 million idiots.

6. So say 55,000,000 voted for Bush - or even 50,000,000...
What is your point? That Bush got NO votes? NO ONE is responsible, after YEARS of daily evidence of poor governing, for casting their vote for this evil man?

Makes me laugh....just like the famous saying that no one voted for Nixon in 1972....47,169,911 phantom votes.

3. People who support Bush are like girls who leave their drinks unattended at a frat party.
They drink the kool-aid, and then they don't know they're getting fucked.

7. I find that simile to be more than a tad offensive.
First and foremost, it smells of "blaming the victim" ... of rape, no less. Second, as a member of a college fraternity in the 60s, I can absolutely guarantee anyone that we were more than solicitous of the sorority women who attended our parties and mixers. Under absolutely no circumstances would we condone predatory behavior toward any of them ... and we provided rides to anyone too drunk to drive or be unattended. It was both ethically responsible and pragmatic: we had a valued reputation for being a 'safe' fraternity for good times and we worked closely with two sororities to absolutely assure that was the case. Did we party hardy? Ubetcha. Did folks bump uglies? Ubetcha. NEVER unwillingly (and sober enough to be responsible) and NEVER coerced. Period.

Cheney/Bush is corrupt far beyond anything that any school kid is EVER taught is possible. Naive people regularly get conned. Blaming the victims is appalling.

12. Blaming rape victims *is* appalling. Bush victims? not so much
Most of the idiots who voted for * will be the Americans who suffer most in the long run. Of course, they'll never realize it -- they'll still be blaming the libruls for all their problems.

16. Meanwhile--
under Bush blue states pay more in federal taxes than they get back in federal programs, while in red states the reverse is true. Damn those blue state liberals, subsidizing our crappy red state farms, schools and infrastructure!

18. That attitude stunned me when I lived in Eastern Washington.
Edited on Fri Feb-02-07 04:03 PM by TahitiNut
Most of the homeowners, especially the more affluent ones, used irrigation water to keep their lawns and gardens lush and healthy. The irrigation water was originally made available by the Army Corps of Engineers in a MASSIVE project to bring (Columbia and Snake river) water to desert lands and make the eastern half of Washington State an agricultural oasis. The project included surveying, digging, and filling thousands of miles of irrigation ditches and canals, along with piping and pumping. The cost to the homeowners? Pennies. The cost to the taxpayers? Billions in today's dollars.

The same people who suck at the government teat (it's the MAJOR employer in the Dry-Shitties area) and wash their lawns with government water were extreme right-wing social conservatives who constantly complained about the federal government. Try to take that water away and they'd riot.

Stunning.

9. No way Bush got more votes in 2004 than he received in 2000.
My informal local polling of Republicans after the 2004 election (14 or so people) found almost 50% voting for Kerry. Even if that was an outliar, where'd he get all the new votes? In 2000 he was an unknown, in 2004 his primary accomplishments were letting 9/11 happen, busting the budget, and lying to get us into the Iraq war. So where did all these pro-Bush votes come from? I remember pics of huge turnouts for Kerry and I remember tight, close-in shots of Bush speaking in front of handpicked audiences in small auditoriums.

Vote manipulation, I can believe....60MM votes is laughable.

11. You forgot to add: Please mail your first installment payment of the
massive debt your president has taken on with your 2006 income tax. Each payment will be $20,000 per voter for the next 20 years. Thank you.

17. But gay people aren't married, so it was still worth it, right?
If you see a person with a Bush bumper sticker at a gas station, it's fun to ask them that.

I would think it would be a depressing endeavor though.
