6. I am one of the first to say they cheated - they did. |
|
BUT - it has a limit. And there is truth in the saying "Fool me once, shame on you etc..."
I don't care who counts the damn votes - if 10% of the polulation calls bullshit, they lose.
We better be in a proper position to call "Bullshit" this time. We better have our own polls, and design them to call "Bullshit".
I don't think cheating is such a new thing. We better be a lot smarter, this time.

you're right: been cheating in American politics for -- oh, some 200 years now. If we can't change the format, we need to smarten up to counter it . . . that, and we need a greater winning margin, to make cheating that much harder.

5. They obviously have no idea what they're talking about... |
|
Schwarzenegger is at 25-1 odds, twice as good as Gore, despite the fact that he can't run for president

7. I wish that Gore would run; he would be our greatest president |
|
now; he has grown as a man and an orator and a statesman since the 2000 theft. He speaks now for democracy; he has no horse in this race, as we might say in Kentucky. By the way, he won the 2000 election. He was cheated in Tenn by Frist and in Florida by Jeb, two of the most crooked men in America. In Tenn. roadblocks were set up and people sent wrong info on where to vote and taken off the rolls...a little FLORIDA. Do you really believe that Tennessee didn't vote for its native son?

12. I don't know - 9 point underdogs?? Pretty rare in Championship |
|
football. I think they are now 3 1/2 point underdogs to Denver.
And I think the Colts are a much better team then Denver.
Nobody is going to keep me away from the TV on Sunday, thats for sure.
