All the possible reasons as to why Bush 'won' |
|
1. Republican 'agents' helped Bush 'win'
Ohio - Kenneth Blackwell is not only head of the Bush Campaign, but also is the Secretary of State and can declare if the Election is fair. (Florida anyone?) Blackwell had also defended Diebold from the claims of it being too partisan.
Diebold - The votes that Diebold counts can not verified in any way. It is also not a conspiracy theory that Diebold only had love for only one Presidential Candidate, Bush.
2. Fear (terrorism) has prevailed on this Election
Osama - OBL had appeared in front of the world (just as many DU'ers predicted), and although he said neither Bush nor Kerry can protect Americans, many people on Fox News said Osama took the Democrat's Anti-Bush phrases and used them against him. (Thus, Osama looks Anti-Bush, rather than Anti-Kerry)
3. People believed the Lies
Swift Liars - The Swift Boat (Liars) for Bush had smeared Kerry over and over again. Two strange things, First off why did a small portion actually believe (They were proven to be contradictory, liars, and some of them had even praised Kerry before)? Secondly, why did Kerry's advisors not tell him to take action while it was early?
The so-called 'liberal' Media - The Media advocated the Swift Liars, repeatedly helped in the smearing of Kerry. There was a 'Crossfire show' where Kerry supposedly supported the idea of a war against Iraq. This was a blatant lie, yet Rev. Moon's paper, the Washington Times and also Fox News supported this outright lie.
4. Possible Solution
How to start a fraud investigation - We will need to start investigations into Diebold, Kenneth Blackwell, the Swift Liars, Reverend Moon, the Washington Times, and Fox News. I am confident that it will eventually lead to Bush.

1. In my mind, there is only one reason ~ Election Fraud. |
|
I don't believe he won.
There are many reasons why the Media & the public in general are going along with it.

2. There's also the moral values argument |
|
Some people don't like to hear it but I do. I think that this limited definiation of morality (attacking gays, anti-abortion) is not oging to help them win too many more elections. Bryant Check it out --> http://politicalcomment.blogspot.com

3. One big one which I never see mentioned on here.... |
|
..probably because I know it's taboo. But the fact is that the far right is more willing to work within the system (ie voting), and support the lesser of two evils. Like it or not that is the result of the system we have, at least for now.
I know far right extremists and even though they didn't like Bush they still voted for him because they hate democrats and liberals more.
Many, if not all of the super far lefty types I know (anarchists, actual communists, etc.) don't want to vote for the lesser of two evils. It is more important to them that they destroy the system than it is to accept half of what we want rather than all of it.
Yes, this is anecdotal, but I still believe that as long as this is the case we will continue to lose.

6. More people voted for him. |
|
I think it's due to a few reasons:
1) The country's growing more conservative.
2) Bush was better than Kerry at relating to people (he speaks simply and clearly)...yes, most of what he says is lies, but it's clear and simple.
3) People don't want to be told the whole story, they want to be taken care of. Again, against all logic, they feel that Bush takes care of them.
