Think of this election as a game of chess
Did you ever think of this as a game of chess? First position the pawns, Second lure the enemy in, Third capture when the enemy believes he has won!

2. Like you AItxn but WTF is this about? We were not allowed to win...
the first time. Are you implying we'll be allowed to win this time? I was thinking what would happen either prior to the electors doing their thing or after if it were definitively proved that Kerry won both the electoral and popular votes. You know what, nothing. * and his xtian screw balls don't care. There is no constitutional basis for a post electoral college vote discovery of fraud. The Kerry people probably would announce that we have to support the president. We're through the looking glass, I'm afraid.

Corporate America controls the media and we get manufactured news.
Corporate America now controls the voting machines and we get manufactured elections.

5. Think of Kerry as the King in a chess game
Bush is also the King. Bush's queen would be Karl Rove. The Pawns would be freepers. The media is the Bishops. Swift Boats are the Rooks. Knights would be Arnold and McCain.

The pawns were lured into positioning themselves for a kill. Slowly we whipped out each one by Kerry conceding. The pawns themselves couldn't move in on mobilizing to stop the recount results like in 2000.

Knowing that the pawns wouldn't be the key to victory the queen sent out the rooks to put Kerry in check. Kerry countered with his own set of Rooks which are his band of brothers. Slowly the truth from his rooks defeated the other side.

The queen then sent out the Bishops in strategic position's. However, the media was blocked by Kerry's pawns which is DU'ers and every blogger out there.

With the Bishops down now the queen sent out the Knights in hopes of putting Kerry in check again. Kerry countered his own check with with his own list of celebrities that are the Knights.

With all his pieces lost the queen then brought herself into play by moving forward with rigged election. Karl Rove aka queen captured Kerry's queen which is the White house.

Kerry now has the ability to lure the King out into the open and capture the queen at the same time. We my friends are Kerry's pawns moving into position for the checkmate.

9. Yep.
A bit like talking quietly and carrying a big stick.

Why would a smart man like George Soros also ignore the highly justifiable fears of electoral fraud, without, as far as I know, expostulating about it before or since, while investing large sums of money in the cause?

As an Aussie would put, "This is for thinking, these are for dancing/crushing grapes" - respectively pointing to scone and feet.

12. And Michael Moore
Does anyone really believe that Moore is being silent because he either thinks there was no fraud, or he does think there was fraud but is keeping quiet because he wanted bush* to win?

19. Read the inside story from Newsweek
Kerry might have been King, but his supporting cast were all pawns. Yikes! They only had one direction of movement, minimal lateral attack ability, and were very slow on the uptake.

20. Where on earth did you get this idea?
"There is no constitutional basis for a post electoral college vote discovery of fraud."

The hell there's not.

4. Trouble is, we have no evidence that any luring or capturing is going on.

22. Evidence
Yeah, I'm an old lawyer, and I've always gone out of my way to make sure every available stranger knows what I'm going to do next for any particular client.

Get a grip, and hold on. We might be in for a great ride.

I'd love to see some history written - with our pen.
