Not happy that he netted millions from his disastrous efforts to help the Democrats last year, Michael Moore is still whining about President Bush's victory.
Though President Bush may have won re-election by 3.5 million votes, getting a clear majority of the votes -- something even Bill Clinton could not do when he ran in 1992 and 1996 -- but super sore loser Michael Moore can't admit his side lost.
So Moore sent a letter to the U.S. Senate whining about Ohio where George Bush won by 118,000 votes.
Moore indicated he was seeking a member of the upper body to join a cabal of unhappy House Democrats who were challenging the certification of the President's well earned victory.
He apparently got that "unhappy member" in California Senator Barbara Boxer.
Conveniently claiming that "something isn't right in Ohio and more than a dozen members of the House of Representatives believe it is worth investigating," Moore explained that Rep. John Conyers of Detroit would rise on Thursday and object to the vote count in Ohio.
"According to the laws of this land, he will not be allowed to speak unless at least one of you -- one member of the United States Senate -- agrees to let him have the floor," Moore wrote.
California's liberal Sen. Barbara Boxer obliged Moore, thus throwing a monkey wrench in the certification process and delaying the inevitable by several hours.
Taking a leaf from Jesse Jackson's book, Moore wrote that Conyers "and a dozen other members of Congress have some serious questions about how the Republican secretary of state in Ohio (who was also the state’s co-chair of Bush’s reelection campaign) conducted the election on November 2.
They are destabilizing the minority communities with this endless BS.
That fat socialist tub of lard knew there was nothing hanky panky going on in Ohio. But he had to get even for being a sore loser. Atta boy, Mickey!
Philadelphia, which had more people registered than of voting age, will be convientely ignored. And, BTW, Pennsylvania margin for Kerry was slimmer in PA than Bush's margin of victory in OH.
According to CNN, Bush lost Pennsylvania to Kerry by 121,818 votes (out of more than 5.6 million cast - a razor thin margin).
Also according to CNN, Kerry received over 517,000 votes and Bush received over 124,000 votes in Philadelphia (or a ratio of 4.16 for Kerry).
Now, for the really interesting numbers. According to the recent US Census, the Population of Philadelphia that is of voting age is 1,105,066. This number includes people who by law can not vote (non-American citizens, felons, out of state college students, etc.). In 2004, there are 1,035,395 registered voters in Philadelphia, up 34,000 from 2001.
So, what does this mean?
First, even as Philadelphia looses population, the number of registered voters continues to increase year after year. Today, in Philadelphia, nearly 100% of every person of voting age must registered to vote (as compared to a national average of 60% by the Census Bureau). Second, the total lopsidedness of the 4.16 ratio is an absolutely astounding number - even heavily democratic Broward Country, FL (one of the only places Gore wanted recounted in 2000) only went for Kerry 2:1 and Cook County, IL (Chicago - THE definition of the democrat voting machine) only went for Kerry 2.5:1.
Either Philadelphia has the most engaged and civic population in the history of the World, or there is massive voter fraud.
And the amount of fraud easily exceeds the margin of loss of President Bush. For instance, if the registration was slightly above average and if Philadelphia was just your "average-democrat-rustbelt-city-union-stronghold with a 50 year democrat political machine," the vote for Kerry in Philadelphia would have been just over 300,000. The voter fraud in Philadelphia is worth about 200,000 votes - a deficit that any Republican running for statewide office must overcome with real votes.
That pretty much sums up her mentality on how she calls her shots. It is frightening to know we have so many people like that in Congress that claim they are capable of making decisions affecting this country.
Hugh Hewitt, a very smart person, says that Boxer is the dumbest Senator ever!
I concurr.
Moore knew who to target.
Why do you think they are so angry? They are loosing their ability to keep minorities ignorant and steal elections. That is the basis of the democratic party and it is being eroded.
Of course that slob is whining about Ohio. He's from Michigan!!!
I hope they use him again in 2008 at the Democrat Convention. He will not age well like fine wine (whine).
Thanks for posting this information. I wish it would receive wider publicity, but I suspect it will never find its way into the mainstream press.
I actually have had some fairly serious discussions with the main editors of the Philadelphia Inquirer. They are well aware of the statistical anomalies and are open to looking into it but have the attitude of - "We have looked for evidence of voter fraud and have found none and if you don't have any there is nothing to be concerned about..."
Btw, the numbers you kindly included in your expose, should explain positively to any rational person that this is criminal. And it should also be obvious to any rational person that since nothing is done about it, the Federal government is crooked and does not care.
Wonder if we can encourage California to start a "RECALL" vote for the Boxer??
This is why I don't get why they are so much against the Electoral College. Because of the EC, they can pick and choose any single state in a close election and cry, "Bush only won by 118,000 votes in Ohio!" and thus fish for votes to overturn it.
If there were no EC, then its not so easy to whine "Bush only won by 3.5 million votes!" and then have to find millions of fraudulant votes in multiple state. The EC makes it easier for them fraud, cheat and whine by narrowing it down to just one state with a smaller margin of victory.
Then again, with the EC, Hillary will have a hard time getting 270 EC votes with just a few northern, liberal states.
I don't know how anyone in the senate can be dumber than Patty of the Tennis Shoes, but since Boxer is a (D) from CA, I will give Hugh the benefit of the doubt.
Am I to believe... Floridians are stupid and miscounted. Ohioans (myself included) are lazy and didn't count. But in Washington state the liberals overcounted in the midst of a vast right wing conspiracy?
@%#+!!! I'm going back to bed.
Btw, the numbers you kindly included in your expose, should explain positively to any rational person that this is criminal. And it should also be obvious to any rational person that since nothing is done about it, the Federal government is crooked and does not care.
Would love to hear your ideas on "But there are ways to counter-attack it." Maybe we can make a change...
Anyone else see Dennis Miller on Leno last night? He came out to sign the motorcycle right after Leno announced that Mooreon was going to be a guest tomorrow (tonight), and Miller went off on Moore when he came out.
It was a good thing....
