We lost for ONE reason and ONE reason ONLY

[CatWoman]

VOTE FRAUD.

Wash. rinse. repeat.

VOTE FRAUD.

And we will keep on losing as long as Republican companies control our voting process.

1. No question.

You can't convince me otherwise. The exit polls have never been wrong before, how could they be that wrong this time? Doesn't make any sense.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

7. No, thats not true...the exit polls have been wrong before

IN 2000!!!!!! but in the end they turned out to be right too--GORE DID WIN THEN and KERRY WON NOW, damnit!

[Midlodemocrat]

16. Told ya.

:shrug:

[blm]

2. And as long as Republican companies control the media.

And defense contractors are allowed to promote war on our airwaves.

I think taking issue with both the GOP ownership of most media and the voting machines are of paramount importance to the future of democracy.

4. Yup-until we have a free media, voter fraud will never be addressed

seriously. The Repukes will be stealing elections for the remainder of our lives if we don't do something about the media.

[BamaLefty]

3. Amen!

[rock]

5. Actually we prefer the term "Vote Fraud"

but that's just a nit pick. Hiya Cat's.

[CatWoman]

6. Rock

:hi:

good point. :D

[rock]

8. And I meant to say

You are right on point, though. I always read your posts, CatWoman.

9. You the woman,

Feline Female. A post for a post and truth trumps the spin!

[Virginian]

10. So, what do we do about it?

What can WE do about it?

Who has ideas on getting the media to be unbiased? Clear channel has announced that they are going to carry only Fox news.

I hope the DNC has lawyers working on the fraud part. What should we be doing?

I feel somewhat helpless, but I am not yet hopeless. I hope that someone can come up with a plan and we can organize behind it.

11. Vote fraud AND vote suppression

(Our chief weapon is surprise...and fear. Our TWO chief weapons...)
Don't discount the deliberate suppression of votes...by Republican operatives throwing out Democratic registrations, as happened in Oregon, South Dakota, and Nevada (and who knows how many other states)...by Blackwell tossing out ballots not printed on a certain weight of paper (in direct violation of the Voting Rights Act)...by disinformation campaigns in largely Democratic neighborhoods (such as happened around the country)...by last minute relocation of polling places in largely Democratic areas.

[Suziq]

12. Bingo!

Say it LOUD - VOTE FRAUD!

I also feel the media is to blame as well.

:hippie:

[mtnsnake]

13. #x#!@^!##X*%%@#!!

j/k :)

Seriously, I hope it turns out that way, I really do, and I hope they find Bush is behind it all.

What frustrates me, though, is reading some of the articles, whose authors claim they have proof and names, but then you wait weeks and never hear back from them.

14. Election Fraud and Voter suppresion......

It wasn't Vote Fraud..it was Election Fraud..makes it sound like the voter did the fraud...well maybe those Freepers that voted twice in Ohio...

Just my thought...

[gennifer6]

15. We lost for two reasons......now what to do about it.

One: computerized voting screens with no paper trail, who's the idiot that let that one slide? That's asking for fraud to happen.
And the CEOs of voting machine companies are blatantly Republican.


Two: Ken Blackwell is the Secretary of Stae in Ohio in charge of the elction and was ALSO Bush's Ohio campaign director. That's a BLATANT conflict of interest, how can that even be legal?

We let it happen.....
