The US election fraud just became a conversation topic in my office
Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 03:44 PM by JCCyC
It all started when another coworker saw that article about the county with 600 voters that gave 4,000-something votes to * and felt obliged to share. I threw in lots of other interesting facts (and debunked a few ones, like that USA Presidents "IQ comparison" that's widely believed here).

The Warren O'Dell thing (among others) generated a lot of :wtf:s.

It hurts me to say this, but your country's image is in the gutter. Most people here extract a smug satisfaction from that, but I don't. You deserve better.

3. You don't want a debunked urban legend
They'll look it up and you'll look stupid. Don't assume they're ALL too dumb to do that.

2. It really is embarrassing
We the USA have bragged to the world for many years about being a democracy. We've tried to force it on others. It's really quite obvious to the world we can't do it ourselves.

Do we deserve better? Only if we are ready to fight for it. Most US citizens aren't even willing to face facts about what's going on.

7. It should be abundantly clear what "you" means in my post.
It means YOU WHO FOUGHT AGAINST THIS, not the army of spiritually deformed ghouls who support * and his ilk.

5. Canada's the same. 90% of the people I know despise Bush.
Sadly, a good third of them now despise the US.
