14. I think that you
are making assumption that are NOT in evidence.

1. Democrats have been known to cheat, why should the Republicans suddenly get so good at it that no hard evidence has yet been produced, yet the Democrats suddenly give it up?

2. Without polling every legal voter, how do you know that conservatives are in a minority? Assuming that this is NOT true, what would convince you? (Is your hypothesis disprovable??)


3. Anecdotal, of course, but I know plenty of conservatives that don't vote in every election. Some that don't vote in presidential elections. One that didn't vote this year.

I'm not saying that you are wrong. I'm just saying that there are other explanations for why we lost other that massive Republican cheating. They should be examined with an open mind, because if we do not determine the cause of our defeat (and it was a defeat, Bush will be the President for the next 4 years, regardless of how he got there), then we are doomed to repeat our mistakes in the next election and be defeated, or out-cheated, again.

Who was it that said stupidity was doing something same thing over again and expecting a different result??
