Okay, If Social Conservatives Didn't come out in greater numbers....
then who exactly are we to believe voted for ****

from an article in USA Today about "a new day" for conservatives:

"Exit polls indicate social conservatives voted in about the same proportion as in 2000. But Pence and others credit them with President Bush's margin of victory over Democrat John Kerry and say the election was a referendum on conservative values."

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2004-12-19-conservatives-new-day_x.htm


WTF??????

And the MSM won't look at the possibilty of fraud????

10. Undecideds didn't break for Kerry big time.
Most experts say that they broke slighly for Bush, or at worst, evenly between the 2 candidates. One of many articles online where undecideds are analyzed is on Slate.com.

http://slate.com/id/2110860/

"Bush got 46 percent of those who made up their minds in the last week of the campaign and 44 percent of those who made up their minds in the final three days. TIPP got it wrong, Gallup got it very wrong, and Slate's vote-share formula got it very, very wrong. Who got it right? Pew again. In its final report, Pew predicted that undecideds 'may break only slightly in Kerry's favor.' With 6 percent of voters undecided in the week before the election, Pew added 3 percent to Bush's total and 3 percent to Kerry's"

16. Security moms
But my daughter, also a security mom, who usually doesn't give a rat's ass about politics, voted for Kerry because Bush lied to take us to war in Iraq. She was extremely upset when I educated her about that ... because like so many others, at first she believed the lie that Iraq had something to do with 9/11. Security moms who voted for Bush need to be educated.

4. That whole story was made up to distract from the fraud used to steal
the election. They padded their numbers in every state they could, especially the red states.
