The only reason Bush won....
Bush won this election on one issue only, he told the American people, I will protect you, Kerry won't. He used 9/11 throughout his convention and campaign, he ignored every other issue affecting the American people as he had no leg to stand on, whether it be record deficits, job losses or the health care crisis . The American people, especially many in the uneducated red counties fell hook, line and sinker for the fear mongering of Karl Rove and his Republican party. They literally scared half the American people into voting for Bush.

Winning an election after an event like 9/11 is almost impossible, we must continue fighting and not give up.

1. This is a flat lie. Bush did NOT win.
He stole what didn't belong to him. AGAIN.

Stop believing the Gospel of CNN.

7. Especially with CNN changing exit polls that it could be another steal but
where was it stolen, which states, Florida and Ohio?

If so, why the fuck aren't we protesting the streets, I'll be there with you! Why aren't we protesting more vociferally these Diebold machines?

In the case of a stolen election, folks around the country are planning events to defend democracy and make their voices heard.

Use our new calendar interface to list your No Stolen Election events (if you're organizing an event) or RSVP for events you'd like to attend (if you're a participant).

3. If all the people who actually voted Kerry were to walk into DC, say one
day in January, the place would sink and the 'election' would be proven to have been a farce.

8. Bush only had to deliver one message
The other Repub opperatives delivered the other messages. Like churches - Abortion & Gay Marriage.

11. I don't buy that.
Remember the first debate, which was about foreign policy and security issues? Supposed to be Dubya's area of strength? Kerry mopped the floor with him. Even the right-wing nutjobs had to admit it.

12. Just wait until
the CIA 9/11 Report is finally released. The one they were withholding until after the election. The one that names names.

"Bush suppresses damning CIA report on 9/11 ...

Intelligence official says a report that is "very embarrassing for the administration" is being withheld from Congress until after the election."
