  • Drop this nonsense about how a majority of the electorate is bible-thumping rednecks. That isn't exactly befitting a party that prides themselves on tolerance.
  • Enough with the moving-to-Canada shit. It makes you look like sore losers, quitters and, worst of all, America-haters.
  • And, for Chrissakes, please don't go spreading conspiracy theories about how the Ohio vote was rigged. You want voters to believe that you aren't on the political fringe.

Maybe not rigged, but there is a possibility of there being enough error. Did you see this story?

Bush received 4,258 votes in a precinct with only 638 ballots cast.

Yes, I saw that story. There's a big difference between 150,000 and 3,000.

In the states with electronic voting, sans "paper trail", there is no evidence the votes were counted properly. And truly talented hackers never get caught. So, if you're so inclined, you can always deny that Bush got more votes and there's no way to prove you wrong.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
