(F)alse (R)eporting (A)nd (U)nspinnable (D)eceptions
Edited on Thu Nov-18-04 08:11 PM by TruthIsAll
To claim this was a fraudulent election is just sour grapes.
The exit polls were wrong.
The statistical odds are based on junk science.
Republicans came out to vote late.
Democrats vote early.

Republicans avoided the exit pollsters.
Democrats wanted to tell the exit pollsters how they voted to help sway the election for Kerry.
Non-Paper trail machines performed flawlessly..
There is no documented, provable instance of fraud.

Bush won by 3 million votes.
Kerry lacked a message.
The fundies came out in droves.
The much-heralded youth vote failed to materialize for Kerry.
Democrats need to move to the center.

Democrats need to be more united than they were in this election.
Kerry lacked charisma.
If Kerry really thought he won he would never have conceded.
Fraud is only believed by Internet conspiracy buffs.
Even Clinton is congratulating Bush.
Democrats should just get over it and regroup for 2006.

There is no such thing as global warming.

1. Add: We don't really need exit polls anyway.
And: Exit polls need to be kept from the public, lest they are upset by them.

The spin is getting so thick. We have to work harder than ever now to keep light on the truth and keep from getting discouraged.

3. You forgot, "the Black Vote didn't turn out"
I happened to be watching Peter Jennings (I think) when Tavis Smiley was given this infomation--who knows where they got it, the exit polls?????

He started right in blaming the democrats for taking them for granted.

Well, I think that the black vote did turn out, many perhaps were turned away or their votes ended up on the "spoiled" pile.

The world's gone mad.

And, just have to add, from reading in another thread, I hate hate hate Bill and Hilary.

The way things are playing out now, I think Ralph Nader must feel that he died and went to heaven.
