some newslady just said a third of democrats believe Bush only won because of fraud" (she then said something else that I didn't catch).
Is it just me or is that a lot of democrats.

20 million? Isn't SHRUB and his minions claiming an alleged obvious mandate with 3 million people?
Let's see using 'fuzzy' SHRUB math:
20 million people think SHRUB stole it again.
SHRUB allegedly won by 3 million, and claims that it is a clear majority and mandate.
That's it, we have a clear majority and mandate of 17 million voters that says SHRUB stole this election for a second time, and we must use our 'political capital' immediately to take back our country.

thats up from 20% a few weeks ago. cnn said 60% of dems thought it was fair and square and that 1/3 said it was stolen through fraud or other means. that leaves a few that aren't sure either way?

5. Independents feel the same way |
|
I have seen references to the same national opinion poll, and if my memory serves me, over one-third of Democrats AND over one-third of Independents believe that the election was decided by fraud. Again, if my memory serves me, over one in twelve Republicans in the same survey also believed the same thing.
I have been searching for a link to the survey but have been unable to find a printed review of the survey results anywhere. (It must have been run several weeks ago, because I heard the first references to it back then.) If anyone can provide a link to the survey results, that would be most appreciated.

I'd say 25% of us at least think something is rotten. In general, I've had more luck getting Republicans interested in the election fraud issue than Democrats. One theory I've had is that we know a lot of us didn't vote for Bush, while the Democrats can hide behind the assumption that we're all blind morons and just out voted them. Republicans have no one to attribute it to and thus have to face the rotten smell dead on. (Though I do know one Republican who won't listen to "Election Fraud Nonsense" because he knows that a lot of Democrats voted for Bush. The proof? The fact that you all lied to the pollsters, which a Republican wouldn't have done).

Just Democrats lie to pollsters? Hmmm. Has anyone did a poll on that hypothesis? (tongue in cheek) But thanks for admitting what you did about Republicans voting for Kerry. I can't even understand why even 1/4 of the vote went to Bush! Guess it was the TV propaganda aimed at the most ignorant part of the population (ignorance seems to be contagious in our nation). That's about what he got (plus or minus some few precent) of the international pseudo-vote (internet). (Sorry I don't have the website.)

Some Republicans (including myself) voted for Badnarik, and I know of at least one who said he wrote in John McCain (and I believe him); so not all of the ABB-Republicans voted for Kerry.
The main point is, they sure didn't vote for Bush.

P.S. For example, the guy with the T-shirt (hand made) "Pigs have wings! I just saw a Bush I didn't want." probably didn't go to all the trouble to make the shirt and then vote for him anyway.

21. ran into one yesterday, he shoved his vetsforBush sticker in his |
|
car window after honking at us as he drove up along side in his old dodge pick up. He was a young guy who must not of liked our missing a village idiot in Texas sticker alongside the Kerry sticker. My husband doesn't wear his (LT.COL)rank or vet status so we just flipped him off.
Wondering if I could find some sticker like vets who hate Bush.
