50. That plus the realization that those 51%ers are peachy with what
he has done. Everytime that I seriously start to come to terms with 4 more years of this shit I have to grab for a beer or something. I have many relatives who voted for this corrupt dipshit.

53. 11/2/04 approximately 11PM
That was after those ass clowns giggled and spoke with Barney on national TV-I knew then that the "fix was in" and proceeded to watch the numbers turn for the rest of the night to the imperial ass clown/dictator.
In retrospect, I ask myself how I could have expected anything different this time around.
THEN Kerry conceded the next morning!
