Newstatesman: Did Dubbya rig the election?

[dand]

Michael Meacher smells something fishy in bush's return to office, the evidence of fraud is not yet conclusive but, given the Republican's record, it is all too plausible.

The great mystery of the US presidential election was that the exit polls, which had been reliable guides in all previous elections, did not tally with the final results. Tony Blair, it is said went to sleep on Nov. 2 thinking John Kerry had won, but woke in the morning to find that Bush was the victor. Many Britons and Americans had the same experience. Now allegations are surfacing that the use of electronic voting systems and optical scanning devices may have had a significant influence on the result.

This lays it all out beautifully, and written by a Brit, its a shame we can't read articles like this in our mainstream press.

1. It was not he,

Dubya can't tie his own shoes (thus the cowboy boots). This was done by his paymasters who also write U.S. policy. A return to feudalism is upon us, and the robber barons have incorporated. Jesus Inc. has declared a new crusade indeed. Prepare the graves for filling, and the lambs for slaughter.
