6. If you go back to early Nov the % were the other way around.
Hopefully the people are getting tired of the hopelessness of it all.

7. These results indicate to me that the vote was hacked
Immediately after the election we saw low numbers for bush in other dimensions of job performance that the pollsters monitor.

The exit polls were correct until the last one that was "corrected" to reflect the hacked for -- in my opinion.

bush does have the hard core 30-36% hard core cult members -- but he did not win the election -- the hired hackers manipulated the vote totals to give the bastard "the popular vote" -- I just don't see the evidence in other polls that he won.

People just don't wait in line for hours to keep the status quo -- we need to stop blaming the victims -- the Kerry voters who waited to vote and then had their vote switched by GOP hired hackers.

We hear from the hard core bush cult members -- but the voters that went to Kerry are keeping quiet because they think their neighbors voted bush.

9. In '67 only 17% of Americans were against the war in Vietnam.
And, they elected Nixon in a landslide.

So, in a way, it's not bad. Just wait until the Repugs and DLC'rs start talking about "Peace with Honor" before the Iraqis kick us out.

3. Then why did the dumb assholes vote for the guy????? It's been shown
that 'values' WAS NOT the reason, war and security were. So, if that is the case, then you have proof that something was really wrong with the election results.

4. The body bags and deficit are beginning to hurt.
As the bumper sticker says, "Iraq is Arabic for Vietnam".

8. Well at least they didn't vote for bush on moral values
I'd prefer any other reason besides moral values. Although, some extreme christians might think it was moral to kill muslims.
