Observers From the Ukraine Cite Examples of Voting Fraud --HERE

[proudbluestater]

"A delegation of international election observers from the Ukraine harshly criticized the recent U.S. electoral process, with one saying, "It reminds me of the worst examples of suppression and dirty tricks under the former Soviet regimes."

The delegation outlined a long list of alleged instances of fraud and questionable actions that occurred before and during the Nov. 2 election. Among those was Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, the co-chairman of Bush’s campaign in Ohio, deciding to only put two ballot machines per 100,000 voters in urban, Democratic-strong precincts and two machines per 10 voters in rural and suburban Republican-strong precincts.

"This was a blatant attempt to make voters for Mr. Kerry stand in long lines and leave without voting," said Yuri Yusogotcha, head of the Ukrainian delegation. "Our government does this in the Ukraine, too, especially when we run short of food.”

In addition, the delegation noted that Blackwell made a “curious comment” about Katherine Harris, the former Florida secretary of state who presided over the 2000 recount again as a co-chair of Bush’s campaign, being rewarded with a good position now in Congress. "As they say in your American streets, what up wit dat?" Yusogotcha asked.

6. I don't know if you are serious, but

This was a satire, even if the site isn't. Bush couldn't actually have thought the Ukraine was near Utah. Sorry if you were not serious.

I have always voted Republican, as I am a staunch supporter of the 2nd amendment. Bush & co have just really frosted me, though. I want him and all his cronies out of power. I have never seen more incompetent management in my life. Now I know why all his businesses failed.
I voted Democratic for the first time in my life on this election. I went to bed around 1AM on election night and see the exit polls in Ohio favor Kerry. I get up and the CNN Exit Poll numbers have flip flopped. It was a mathematical impossibility to get the final exit poll numbers from those earlier numbers.
I used to work doing statistical analysis for a insurance company actuarial department. No way on earth could those election results deviate from the exit poll numbers by just random chance. I have no doubt this election was stolen.

4. It's satire. Read this part - about the number of voting machines

"deciding to only put two ballot machines per 100,000 voters in urban, Democratic-strong precincts and two machines per 10 voters in rural and suburban Republican-strong precincts."

7. hehe...

I agree -- it sounds like satire to me...

BUT -- I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Bush thought the Ukraine was near Utah -- that man's stupidity has no end.

11. SATIRE!

Bush squinted hard at the reporter and replied, "Go ahead, punk, make my day!"

The journalist retorted, "What the hell do you mean, Mr. President?"

Bush then shrugged. "Beats me. I never know what’s going to come out of my mouth. Especially lately when I’ve been hitting the sauce and some really mind-expanding pills my doctors gives me."
