SOUND BYTE! 1 in 5 Americans believe fraud was committed!
Here's a simple little message that might help stir things up. It's based on Keith Olbermann of MSNBC stating (21 DEC 2004) that the latest Gallup Poll reported that 19% of Americans believe “incidents of fraud” decided, or helped to decide, last month’s election. In other words,


1 in 5 Americans or

Over 41 million adult Americans

more than the entire adult population of
Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania

believe the elections were fraudulent!

2. You know how good of a number is that?
Edited on Wed Dec-22-04 05:26 PM by RaulVB
Considering that the MSM is not covering the fraud?

Great numbers, indeed.

4. The number is growing, slowly growing
as Bush's approval rating is declining, slowly but steadily declining

5. Almost 40% of independent voters believe this
We discussed this on another thread last night. Over one third of Democrats and Independents believed the election was stolen in that poll, and even one in twelve Republicans admitted to the pollers they believed the same thing. Last night, a Republican DU poster said that he thought that a more accurate estimate would be that about one-quarter of Republicans believe that the mo-fo stole it, 'cause they sure know he's neither intelligent, a leader nor even a true Republican (i.e., balanced budgets, etc.)

I agree. If the word gets out, it wouldn't take long for the majority of Americans to accept that Bush stole another term. It may require a testicle transplant for our "leaders" or the MSM, but the truth will out. And when it does, there will be some pretty mad Dems and Independents, and some very embarrassed and thus even madder Repubs, storming the White House with pitchforks. I can't wait.

6. What is interesting is that another 1 in 5 Americans will NEVER...
....believe that election fraud was committed. So, the trick is to get the remaining 3 in 5 Americans to take a passionate interest in this issue and get an action plan going that will do something about it.

7. I appreciate that too,
but it means also that 4/5 Americans do believe the election was honest. These ratios have to be reversed if we are to hope for the right kind of uprising.

9. Thank you for that addition to the thread TruthIsAll

I truly believe that the election has been stolen again and do not mind sharing that knowledge with everyone I can and I do.

11. Actually more like 40% of "interested" Americans
Because as we are so often told, half the public is apathetic.

But apathy can be corrected. Complicity with treason cannot.

Just food for thought for the DC/Media Analstocracy.

There is a sleeping giant snoring away.

Remember 2000, when the polling on the bushkid not winning "fair and square" started at around 15%. It climbed steadily until it reached a strong plurality. Enough so that the "we won't forget" crowd felt strong enough to mount an impeachment effort against the Felonious Five http://www.democrats.com/view.cfm?id=4390.

Democrats.com had scheduled a press conference in DC to announce the initiative http://democrats.com/view.cfm?id=4623.

Alas, the press conference was scheduled for 9/11/01. (cue the ominous-sounding music)

This time is should be easier, as the ground has been prepared.

14. Thank you Angry Girl, I am angry too and like someone I met
before Nov 2nd said, "yeah, we'll win if the CHEATING BASTARDS will count the votes."

Almost everyone I know thought they would try to steal it again in 2004 and that they did in 2000.
