Does this make you wanna SCREAM?
Republican Challenges Presidential Election Based On Exit Polls
http://www.legitgov.org/essay_palast_republican_challenges_112304.html
<snip>---
An international election observer mission - from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the European Parliament, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly and the Council of Europe - released a preliminary report on Monday declaring that the election did not meet democratic standards.

The observers' findings were seconded by Republican Senator Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Citing the disturbing fact that official results diverged sharply from a range of surveys of voters at polling places, Lugar said, "A concerted and forceful program of election-day fraud and abuse was enacted with either the leadership or cooperation of governmental authorities."

This reporter was unable to reach Senator Lugar regarding the inconsistency of official election results and exit polls in the USA; the intimidation of minority voters in Florida and Ohio; nor the failure to count two million ballots cast, half by African-American voters, in America's first post-democratic election held earlier this month.

I don't know about any of you, and I'm sorry if this was already posted, but I could just about lose my mind over this one.

How is it that the media is all over the Ukraine election, but not the one a little closer to home? GRRRRR!

1. I know how you feel, but I think this bolsters our case
We can show Lugar the same facts here and see if he dares to come to the same conclusion.

2. The reason why Republicans talk about it...
... is because they can tell exactly when it is voting fraud. They have been doing it since at least 2000 if not earlier in the Hagel senate election.

Republicans always get the story right except for one thing: They blame someone else for doing it.

Amazing and sick, really really sick!!

3. The United States of Hypocrisy under BushCo.
This does make me want to scream. It is so maddening! I am outraged. I was outraged at the election fraud issue to begin with. Now, the Ukraine is having the same issues we are only these hypocritical yahoos are only looking over there and not at what's right under their own nose. It is like projection. Where you blame someone else or find fault with them but deny your own similar behavior. It's a nightmare, an American nightmare!
