[ooglymoogly]

4. you should have asked how many votes did diebold cast for bushit

[whistle]

9. What a dumb poll, the votes aren't all counted yet and....

...the recounts won't begin until, what have the judges said, December 6th, 2004? Then there will be shifts and then the fraud investigations have to be started, probably when the 2005 congress starts their session, that ought to be the first order of business.

However, I'm going to stick my neck out here and suggest that when all is done, Kerry will have the majority of the popular vote by a slight margin, but before the electoral college vote count can be tallied, the Supreme Court will again step in and put a stop to all of the speculation for "the good of the country". When that happens, the United States of Amerika will officially be recognized as the newest authoritarian republic in the world.

10. I don't know about people, but ...

I understand he was a big hit with non-organic types. I hear that certain computers all over the country went for him in droves. It's the digital divide, don'tcha know!

13. Too bad we'll never know

like who shot Kennedy.

Even though I have a low regard for the common drudge's intelligence level I can't come to grips with half or more -- no, not even close to half, of the people actually voting for that idiot. I still imagine Kerry won by a landslide and the fraud is way more than we can guess. Bush was too sure of himself - as sure as he was in 2000 that Florida was his. He KNEW.

We came out in record numbers, standing in line for hours, in the face of remarkable opposition - not to vote for 4 more years of the same. I don't buy it for a minute.

14. Well, that's the problem....

Many who voted for Bush in 2000 were determined not to make that mistake again, and refused to vote for him this time.

So many who never voted before, were determined to vote Bush out.

All of those in Bush's own party, who just could not vote for him because of what he has done to this country.

Bush was even the biggest motivator of the Democratic Party, which is larger than the Repukes, to vote Bush out.

There is simply no possible way that Kerry did not win by a landslide, and there is no valid argument against that.

16. 9-11

changed the way many people thought and, I think, the way many of them voted. Dennis Miller is a self-proclaimed post 9-11 Republican. You don't think that 3000 dead on American soil made many people vote for the guy who made them feel "safer?"

If blue states like Oregon and Michigan easily passed gay marriage bans, I'd say that that issue touched a few voter's nerves too.

Many people were indirectly told vote for Bush by their church. Do you think that carries some weight?

You mention people in Bush's own party who couldn't vote for him, but I saw people like McCain and Arnold and Rudy give Bush the big thumbs up. No one ran against Bush for the nomination. For how bad of a Republican Bush is, his party was a united front for him.

Don't get me wrong, I think that these are illogical reason to vote for Bush, but I think that millions of people don't vote logically. They listen to Bush say "were safer" 1000 times or "marriage should be for a man and a woman" and that's all it takes to get their vote.

15. They all just put on their chum bucket hat and did what they were told

Sorry, Spongebob movie reference.

Real answer, we can't ever know for sure, but I'm sure it's too many to bear.

17. where is the option for "How meny Die Bold machines voted?"

we all know that it was rigged and your attempt to distract the people on DU is a stupid wast of time.

[cdp]

18. let me help you...

Take the 60 million or popular votes that Bush received, subtract your estimates of the Diebold votes and pick one of the options. If you think this is some attempt to "distract" the DU, then don't post on the thread and let it go away.

19. I think votes were stolen in every county in every state ....

a little here and a little there. Even in the Blue states. It all adds up to a LOT of votes.

That's without counting the disenfranched who couldn't stand in line for hours because of health or age or work or family obligations. That's also without counting the overdone relegation to Provisionals whereever possible.

The massive stolen votes were taken in the compilers either at county or state levels (depending on the population of the state). It did not matter what kind of equipment the voters used for voting. Hand counted votes can be stolen that way just as easily as DRE votes UNLESS they are hand counted at the precinct and the batch totals are tracked all the way up the line.

The weird glitches we saw were just that -- glitches because of sloppy software and not even intentional. They serve as a distraction.

The total stolen and now untracable was at least 10 million.

21. i agree

i think the fraud is scattered - so much too make it harder to find and detect.

20. Here's a Fox Poll from 11/1/04

I stumbled across it on a weird site.

Um, now, what was the outcome of this election?

I'm just going to clip a bit from one post:

"In 2002, multiple races were swung as the result of a "defective chip" found in DIEBOLD machines. In precincts in which the chip was replaced, the vote swung back to what pollsters had predicted. Only a handful of the known defective chips were replaced."
