You almost gave me a heart attack. After the thread title, the first words I saw was George W. Bush. I was hoping the next word was resigned. Or something like that!!

He was still found fit to serve though.

I knew most of that stuff, but I get so depressed when I think about it, I just shake my head and move on.

Besides, nobody likes "conspiracy theories" right? Yeah, everyone who finds that suspicious is a crazy misguided fool, right?

Also notice that most if not all of those facts are largely ignored by the media? Now, that should be surprising because the media isn’t exactly united.

Very very suspicious.

Perhaps we’ve been led to believe that the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are indeed two separate entities.

How about this crazy idea; they’re one whole loose unit that keeps all control of the U.S. in a predetermined bottle of phony competition.

Well, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was true at least.

Subject: surprise, uncounted ballots turn up in wash state

- The election director in Seattle's King County said Monday that hundreds of absentee ballots were mistakenly rejected in the heavily Democratic stronghold - enough to swing the close governor's race to Democrat Christine Gregoire.

A statewide hand recount is under way across Washington state after Republican Dino Rossi came out ahead of Gregoire by just 42 votes out of 2.9 million cast.
King County Elections Director Dean Logan said he will ask the county CanvassBoard on Wednesday to amend the results of the Nov. 2 election in his county. Agreement is likely; Logan has a seat on the three-person board, and one of the other members is a Democrat.
Logan said election workers mistakenly rejected 561 absentee ballots because they thought signatures on the ballots did not match original voter registration records.
However, he said that the signatures simply were not on file in the county's computerized voter registration system and that original registration records should have been checked.
"We need to correct the error and count those votes," Logan said in a statement.
One of the rejected ballots belonged to King County Council Chairman Larry Phillips, The Seattle Times reported

It's interesting how the Democrats always seem to find extra votes well after the election is over but only in "heavily Democratic" areas.

Thanks, Dude, for exposing their manufactured ballots and voter fraud. :good job:

I've never heard of a party monitoring voting booths to deny lawful people the right to cast their vote...until Florida and Ohio. Seems totalitarian to me and its disgusting
