Proletarian Bush stole America for the second time.

Voice mail:
Female voice after the US after election

Hey You, its me, I am depressed
I am so depressed I can’t believe this.

Elderly Lady in New York she was appalled that Bush is in again.
“Im not going to move, but I curse a lot.
He is scaring the hell out of people I can tell you that

Man in New York:
Makes you feel you can’t travel across the country.

Another Male I’m going to move, but not to one of the red states.

Democracy Plaza is more like depression Plaza.

Foreign investors are selling their houses in the US.
US citizens are moving out of America.
People are literally crying and Texas is now known as Jesusland.
Americans are crying

The country is obviously not safe with the PNAC/Bush government on the seat of power. When the inmates run the institution there is Trouble.

Fear and anxiety in the US are at the red level, what is quite amusing is that Bush has the nerve to say the country is safer, far from it is the truth. The PNAC uses the same template now that they used before in the Adolf Hitler regime. You should also know Adolf was one of their boys. OK Bush’s grand father “Prescott Bush” too, a legacy from the grand father for the grandson, his gift to us lives on, death destruction and theft a lovely legacy. What makes these Untermenschen tick? I would rather not think about that question, or answer it.

So, to the fraudulent election in 2004. Lets take a good look at this one aspect of the PNAC deception. And the agenda they used to fool Americans successfully for the second time.
A Nazi hunter says “there is still time”, I think he is looking in the wrong places, look in Washington Mr. Nazi hunter or where the PNAC friends can be found.

Lets start here. American democracy is broken. It can’t be fixed; it has to be rebuilt from the ground up. Did you expect them to steal the election the same way as 2000? This time it is all below the normal radar. Nothing was big enough to catch national attention. They used many different ways to steal this election. Both major candidates were mainstream, not much difference. Mandate, Major capitol? A Three million vote margin is not very much. Less than one percent of the population does not make a mandate, especially when fifty percent didn’t vote at all and twenty five percent voted against Bush. So Bush is claiming a mandate because he got less than half of the population, no wait, half again that amount, plus one more percent. It’s all below radar, county level, mostly done well before the election.
READING -- A backlog of last-minute voter registrations in Berks County is pushing the system to its breaking point, according to election officials.

LOS ANGELES Nov 1, 2004 — It's the stem-cell, three-strikes, closed-primary, DNA-arrest, Indian-gambling and lawsuit-limiting election. Confused? So are a lot of voters here. If you glance at the text of Proposition 71, which would authorize the state to borrow $3 billion for stem cell research, you'll learn that "pluripotent stem cells may be derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer." Rational choice theorists should instantly recognize the sanity of their reasons: for most people, voting doesn’t matter anymore.

in Lake County, Ohio, officials say at least a handful of voters have reported receiving a
notice on phony board of elections letterhead saying that anyone who had registered through a variety of Democratic-leaning groups would not be allowed to vote this year.
In Pennsylvania, an official of the state Republican Party said it sent out 130,000 letters
congratulating newly registered voters but that 10,000 were returned, indicating that the people had died or that the address was nonexistent.
Mark Pfeifle, the Republican spokesman, said the numbers showed that in their zeal to register new voters, Democratic-aligned groups had committed fraud.

The unexamined belief that an ever-higher rate of voter registration is a
Good Thing has met its limit in the center of the state that this year is the center of the political universe -- Ohio. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2003 estimate is that in Franklin County -- Columbus -- there are approximately 815,000 people 18 or over. But 845,720 are now registered.

"They were thrown away in the trash. I grabbed them out," said Eric Russell. One of those forms belonged to Daren Gray, who was shocked to learn that the re-registration form he filled out was never turned in.

Hopefully these WV Republicans face the same fate as those in Ohio who tried to challenge 35,000 new voters for no reason other than disenfranchisement. After hundreds of hearings found zero illegal registrations, the entire lot of challenges was thrown out and the Republican masterminds now face criminal charges.

John Thune, running against Tom Daschle, has been falsifying registration cards in South Dakota. Turns out there was also minority voter intimidation, where GOP operatives would head out to Indian Reservations to intimidate voters.

A librarian in Oregon busted a voter fraud scheme run by Nathan Sproul, a GOP operative, former leader of the Arizona Republican Party and of the Arizona Christian Coalition. Sproul was running voter registration drives in libraries across the
country, posing as a member org of America Votes, (his real org was called Anerica Votes Project, conveniently similar to the non-partisan progressive effort.) It turns out he was running fake voter drives in Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Florida and Nevada.
In Oregon and Arizona, the same group turned in thousands of fraudulent signatures for Ralph Nader. Turns out there were tons of duplicates and forged signatures in the bunches that were turned in.
l
In Nevada, the same group took registration fraud a step further and shredded every Democratic registration card that they got
ahold of. Thousands of Democrats might have been disenfranchised if this had not been caught.
l
Over at Kos, it's been discovered that all these different attempts at voter fraud were paid for by the Republican Party. l

Blacks in Michigan are not the only targets. Black voters in Louisiana and
Maryland were given flyers that they were not eligible to vote if they owed back
taxes or auto fines. And some were urged to show up to vote on the wrong day.
Republicans in Pine Bluff, Arkansas and Louisville are planning to continue
their program challenging the voters’ identifications in predominantly Black
precincts.

In some places in Ohio, given the competition for votes in this state, federal and
state authorities have placed emphasis on the felony status of potential voters.
This backfired when an organization found that Ohio election officials had
routinely informed former felons that they could not vote in violation of state
law. They sued the Black Republican Secretary of State Ken Blackwell and
forced the state to notify 34,000 former felons that they had the right to vote.

OLUMBUS, Ohio -- A computer error with a voting machine cartridge gave President George W. Bush 3,893 extra votes in a Gahanna precinct.. Bush won Ohio by 136,000 votes

Jacksonville, N.C. -- More than 4,500 Carteret County votes have been lost because officials believed a computer that stored ballots electronically could hold more data than it did. Scattered other problems may change results in local races around the state.
Carteret officials said UniLect Corp., the maker of the county's electronic voting system, said each storage unit could handle 10,500 votes, but the limit was actually 3,005 votes.

what's going on here? Answer: the exit polls are accurate. Pollsters ask, "Who did you vote for?" Unfortunately, they don't ask the crucial, question, "Was your vote counted?" The voters don't know. Here's why. Although the exit polls show that most voters in Ohio punched cards for Kerry-Edwards, thousands of these votes were simply not recorded.
The election in Ohio was not decided by the voters but by something called "spoilage." Typically in the United States, about 3 percent of the vote is voided, just thrown away, not recorded. When the bobble-head boobs on the tube tell you Ohio or any state was won by 51 percent to 49 percent, don't you believe it ... it has never happened in the United States, because the total never reaches a neat 100 percent. The television totals simply subtract out the spoiled vote.
Exactly how many votes were lost to spoilage this time? Blackwell's office, notably, won't say, though the law requires it be reported. Hmm. But we know that last time, the total of Ohio votes discarded reached a democracy-damaging 1.96 percent. The machines produced their typical loss—that's 110,000 votes—overwhelmingly Democratic.

This year in Florida, the state ordered the implementation of a “potential felon” purge list to remove voters from the rolls, in a disturbing echo of the infamous 2000 purge, which removed thousands of eligible voters, primarily African-Americans, from the rolls. The state abandoned the plan after news media investigations revealed that the 2004 list also included thousands of people who were eligible to vote, and heavily targeted African-Americans while virtually ignoring Hispanic voters.
In South Dakota’s June 2004 primary, Native American voters were prevented from voting after they were challenged to provide photo IDs, which they were not required to present under state or federal law.

In 2003 in Philadelphia, voters in African American areas were systematically challenged by men carrying clipboards, driving a fleet of some 300 sedans with magnetic signs designed to look like law enforcement insignia.
In 2002 in Louisiana, flyers were distributed in African American communities telling voters they could go to the polls on Tuesday, December 10th – three days after a Senate runoff election was actually held.

And just three years later in North Carolina, the state Republican Party, the Helms for Senate Committee and others sent postcards to 125,000 voters, 97 percent of whom were African American, giving them false information about voter eligibility and warning of criminal penalties for voter fraud – again resulting in a decree against the use of race to target voters.

Voting Machine Info:
Purged voter lists are only one method of pre-determining the outcome of an election. An even more serious problem lies inside the voting machines themselves. While representatives of Diebold, ES&S and Sequoia herald the benefits of their systems, not everyone shares their enthusiasm. Dr. Rebecca Mercuri is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Bryn Mawr College and has been referred to as "the leading independent expert on electronic voting technology." Shortly before the 2000 Presidential election, Mercuri defended her Ph.D. dissertation on the subject of "Electronic Vote Tabulation: Checks and Balances" at the Engineering School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Mercuri's website is an astonishing checklist of the lack of safeguards and other failings that plague the current crop of electronic voting systems. One of Mercuri's primary concerns is that electronic systems provide no way for a voter, or election officials, to verify that a cast ballot corresponds to the vote being recorded. As Mercuri notes on her site, "Any programmer can write code that displays one thing on a screen, records something else, and prints yet another result." There is no known way to ensure that this is not happening inside of a voting system. Companies such as Diebold, ES&S and Sequoia, which manufacture the machines and provide the code that runs them, simply take a "trust us" approach.

In Bush talk „trust us“ means Fuck you!!!! Remember that.
