I think I was banned from DU cause I didn't have the heart to be a "real enough" nutball dim, I kept preaching about honesty and truth, and that the party must move back to the center(dead giveaway I guess)...but...I love your strategy Elvis....Give em Hell......LOL
Bush defeated Democrat John F. Kerry in the state by two percentage points when provisional and absentee ballots were counted. That was much closer than the totals on election night but not close enough to trigger an automatic recount.
:-)
Only in this reality would a party that lost by over 119,000 votes still be concerned every vote wasn't counted. I hope the Democrats obssess over OH for the next four years.
With unlimited money, your government can't count votes reliably. Why again should we trust them with our health care, our retirement funds, our safety standards, etc.
The government can just barely do the things only the government can do. Why give it more things to do?
Idiot liberals.
What they've really told American people is they don't trust them and respect their judgment and no, they are not ready to move on.
I don't think they would use Tereezas money, Ohio would have to foot the bill for th recount, that is the way I understand it & they are not one bit happy about it.
The funny thing is the recount won't change the results and liberals will still be angry at America for being so stupid as to re-elect President Bush.
I have an account there too, but I just cannot pretend to be a RAT! It's too hard, too demeaning, I mostly lurk. If I had posted, many times, what I felt, I'd be banned by now too!
Exactly ... these libs remind me of my 4 yr old when she throws a hissy fit when she doesn't get her way
I COULD HAVE SWORN THAT THE ELECTION WAS OVER ABOUT A MONTH AGO. AFTER RETURNING FROM VACATION I READ A STORY IN THE PAPER AND FOUND THAT I WAS WRONG! IT SEEMS THAT A GROUP OF JOHN KERRY DIE-HARDS, SOME 400 STRONG, PROTESTED OUTSIDE THE OHIO STATEHOUSE TO DEMAND AN IMMEDIATE RECOUNT OF THE RESULTS AND LOOK INTO THE ELECTION DAY "IRREGULARITIES". ONE OF THE PROTESTERS SAID SHE IS CONVINCED THE WINNER WAS KERRY, NOT BUSH. THE PROTESTERS CLAIM, OHIO TOOK VOTES FROM KERRY AND GAVE THEM TO BUSH, AND COMPARED OUR ELECTION WITH THE CURRENT ELECTION IN EASTERN EUROPE. THE KEY TO ALL THIS, ACCORDING TO THEM, WAS THE FACT THAT THERE WERE DISPARITIES IN THE VOTE TOTALS FOR DIFFERENT DEMOCRATS ON THE SAME BALLOT. IN OTHER WORDS, HOW COULD VOTERS ENDORSE SOME DEMOCRATS FOR LESSER OFFICES, AND ENDORSE A REPUBLICAN FOR PRESIDENT? WOW! NOW THERE'S AMMUNITION FOR AN INVESTIGATION IF I EVER HEARD ANY. FOR THIS GROUP OF "400" AND OTHERS THAT SHARE THIS INTERESTING LINE OF THINKING, I WANT TO POINT OUT SOMETHING I READ IN A FLORIDA NEWSPAPER. THE MIAMI HERALD WENT TO THE TWO STRONGEST DEMOCRATIC COUNTIES IN FLORIDA AND RECOUNTED THE VOTES. GUESS WHAT? THEY VOTED FOR GEORGE W. BUSH OVER JOHN F. KERRY BY A HUGE MARGIN! COULD IT JUST BE THAT THE DEMOCRATS PUT UP A LOUSY CANDIDATE? NO MATTER HOW MANY PROTESTERS, HOW MANY DEMANDS FOR A RECOUNT THE ANSWER WILL BE THE SAME. HOWEVER, IF YOU WON'T LET IT GO, WHY NOT ASK SANTA CLAUS FOR A RETROACTIVE WIN....THAT MIGHT WORK.
JERRY THOMAS If Kerry actually magically picked up one million votes in Ohio somehow, he'd have the electoral vote but not the popular. Yet I he'd still be "legitimate" in their eyes.
At the risk of meeting the low intellectual capacity that DUers hold for me...neener, neener, neener.
If there are long lines, you stand in line until your turn to vote comes, and then you vote. By law, the polls must stay open until everyone who was in line before the cutoff time votes. If you give up and go home, you don't vote, and nobody can figure out how to count your vote later, because there is no vote to count.
So, how could election results be overturned because there were long lines? That's just plain silly, and any judge who entertains such a loony idea is equally loony.
"Ohio Recount Efforts Could Trigger Removal Of Bush From Office"......
Title of a thread from another site...They cling to everything..are outraged about too few machines and long lines in an area where a democrat was in charge of ordering the proper number of machines..or leasing..

for a look at real dem dementia and wildly left wing "Hate Bush" commentary..There may be two conservatives on the site.
"citing documented cases of long lines"
Duh. Did these fools not watch the news. There were long lines all over the country. This is an unintentional back-haned slap at their own party. They are saying that the Dims don't have enough devotion to wait in long lines. There is also an implication that the system must be change since the dims had to wait in line.
