KERRY WON IN '04 ... LARRY DAVID TELLS YOU THE STONE-COLD EVIDENCE THAT, YEP, GEORGE BUSH STOLE IT IN 2004. AGAIN.
From Armed Madhouse, the new book by Greg Palast Wednesday, Release date June 06,2005
Kerry Won. Now Get Over It . . .
...because they're putting '08 in their pocket. Republicans just seem to have that winning spirit. They also have caging lists, felons of the future, rotting ballots, snuffed canaries, and a lock on the votes of Kissinger-Americans and the undead.
WARNING! There are cranks and kooks and crazies out there on the Internet who say that George Bush lost the 2004 election, like one titled, "Kerry Won" published on the TomPaine.com web site two days after the election. I wrote it.
On November 11, a week after TomPaine.com published it, I received an e-mail from The New York Times Washington Bureau. Hot on the investigation of the veracity of the vote, The Times reporter asked me pointed questions:
Question #1: Are you a "sore loser"?
Question #2: Are you a "conspiracy nut"?
There was no third question. Investigation of the vote was, for The Times at any rate, complete. The next day, the paper's thorough analysis of the evidence yielded this front-page story, "VOTE FRAUD THEORIES, SPREAD BY BLOGS, ARE QUICKLY BURIED."
As America's self-proclaimed Paper of Record had no space for the facts, I thought I'd share some with you here.
"Kerry Won" was not a two-day inquiry à la Times. It was the latest in a series of investigative reports coming out of a four-year team examination, begun for BBC Television's Newsnight, Britain's Guardian papers and Harper's Magazine, dissecting that greasy sausage called American electoral democracy.
And, by the way, the answer to Question #1: I didn't lose, so I'm not sore. This investigation isn't about John Kerry. As a journalist, I don't give a toss which rich white kid won the game. But I'm not so blasé that I don't care about the disappearance of American democracy. And I really wanted to know how the Bushes swallowed the sausage.
How'd they do it? Again. And how will they do it in '08? The answer arrived just after midnight on October 8, 2004, three weeks before the official voting, in a series of extraordinary e-mails. The e-mails were intended for the chieftains of the President's re-election campaign in Washington. Strangely enough, they were misaddressed and ended up in my mailbox. Such things happen.
NIGHT OF THE UNCOUNTED:
How to Disappear Three Million Votes
But the e-mails and their technical attachments won't mean a thing unless you understand some arcane facts about elections American-style.
First, consider CNN's Ohio exit polls broadcast just after midnight after the voting ended on Election Day. They show John Kerry defeated George Bush among women voters by 53% to 47%. And among men voters, Kerry defeated Bush 51% to 49%.
So here's your question, class: What third sex put George Bush over the top in Ohio and gave him the White House?
Answer: The Uncounted.
In Ohio, there were 153,237 ballots simply thrown away, more than the Bush "victory" margin. In New Mexico the uncounted vote was fives times the Bush alleged victory margin of 5,988. In Iowa, Bush's triumph of 13,498 was overwhelmed by 36,811 votes rejected. In all, over three million votes were cast but never counted in the 2004 presidential election. The official number is bad enough-1,855,827 ballots cast not counted, reported to the federal government's Election's Assistance Commission. But the feds are missing data from several cities and entire states too embarrassed to report the votes they failed to count. Correcting for the under-reporting of the undercount, the number of ballots cast but never counted goes to 3,600,380. And there are certainly more we couldn't locate to tote up.
Why doesn't your government tell you this? Hey, they do. It's right there in black-and-white on a U.S. Census Bureau announcement released seven months after the election -- in a footnote to the report on voter turn -- out. The Census tabulation of voters voting "differs," from ballots tallied by the Clerk of the House of Representatives for the 2004 presidential race by 3.4 million votes.
This is the hidden presidential count which, excepting the Census' whispered footnote, has not been reported.
Unfortunately, that's not all. In addition to the 3 million ballots uncounted due to technical "glitches," millions more were lost because the voters were prevented from casting their ballots in the first place. This group of un-votes includes voters illegally denied registration or wrongly purged from the registries.
In the voting biz, most of these lost votes are called "spoilage." Spoilage, not the voters, picked our president for us.
Joe Stalin, the story goes, said, "It's not the people who vote that count; it's the people who count the votes." That may have been true in the old Soviet Union, but in the U.S.A, the game is much, much subtler: He who makes sure votes don't get counted decides our winners.
In the lead-up to the 2004 race, millions of Americans were, not unreasonably, panicked about computer voting machines, "black boxes," that could flip your vote from John Kerry to George Bush. Images abounded of an evil hacker-genius in Dick Cheney's bunker rewriting code and zapping the totals. But that's not how it went down. The computer scare was the McGuffin, the fake detail used by magicians to keep your eye off their hands. The new black boxes played their role, albeit minor, but the principal means of the election heist-voiding ballots, overwhelmingly of the poor and Black-went unexposed, unreported and most importantly, uncorrected and ready to roll out on a grander scale in 2008.
I went to sleep election night with the exit polls showing Kerry ahead in swing states. But between 1:05 am and 6:41 am the next morning, goblins went to work. By dawn, the network's exit poll for Ohio showed Kerry dead even with Bush among women, and down by five percentage points among men.
What happened? Were thousands of Bush voters locked in the voting booths, released at 2am, then queried about their choices? Not quite. The network's polling company applied a fancy "algorithm," a mathematical magic wand, to slowly transform the exit polls to match the official count.
And that's bad. By deliberately contaminating the exit polls, the networks snuffed the canary that would signal that something was deeply wrong about the vote count.
Hunting for a Democrat to defend the Twilight Zone between the exit polls and the "official" polls, media grabbed on Dick Morris, Bill Clinton's old advisor. An expert at walking that fine line between minor criminality and psychopathic ambition, Morris knows which way his next client's wind blows.
Morris said:
"Exit polls are almost never wrong. So reliable are the surveys that actually tap voters as they leave the polling places that they're used as guides to the relative honesty of elections in Third World Countries. To screw up one exit poll is unheard of. To miss six of them is incredible."
His opening was promising, but then he switches into full Morris:
"It boggles the imagination how pollsters could be that incompetent and invites speculation that more than honest error was at play here."
So, Dick, you're telling us there was an evil cabal among six pollsters, competitors who don't even like each other, conspiring one dark night to make George Bush look like a vote thief.
There's another explanation: Kerry won.
We've got the body (the wounded elections), we've got the bullet holes (the missing votes), now where are the smoking guns? How does the GOP disappear the vote? And why do Democratic ballots spoil so much more readily than Republican ballots? How's it done?
But that little Bill O'Reilly in your head is screaming, Get over it; let's move on already. What they tested in 2000 and practiced in 2004, they are preparing to roll out in 2008 big time.

Get the rest of the nasty truth about the election of 2004 and the program to steal '08 -- from Republican "caging lists," the "disappearing Democrats of Area 51," 50 illustrations and even weirder stuff in ARMED MADHOUSE: WHOSE AFRAID OF OSAMA WOLF?, CHINA FLOATS BUSH SINKS, THE SCHEME TO STEAL 2008, NO CHILD'S BEHIND LEFT AND OTHER DISPATCHES FROM THE FRONT LINES OF THE CLASS WAR, Greg Palast's newest exposé of war, oil, elections and class.
Who is this moonbat suggesting "get over it?"
If Kerry had won, he'd be in office; conservatives would have to get over it.
He didn't, he lost...moonbats should "get over it."
I don't know the name so I'll have to take your word for it.
Juan imbecile Williams lamented that same sorry song. Maybe the exit polls were right and the actually vote counts were wrong.
Insanity can be treated and my suggestion is that certain leftists need to seek help immediately.

There was another explanation that he never touched on though, that is to hand pick certain people to do the exit polls and then falsify the results so that the stupid media talking heads will call the election before the west coast is finished voting.
He is assuming that all the pollsters are unbiased and not trying to throw the numbers one way or another. If I remember correctly the ID's of these pollsters tended to be very heavy Kerry supporters, something this idiot never mentioned. Next election they need to carefully look at where the data is coming from and the people collecting it. If they only poll voters who come out with lets say a union coat on or certain bumper stickers on their car can skew the numbers heavily, since every polled voter represents dozens of other voters mathematically. I truly believe that there was voter fraud in the 2004 election, and the exit polls were where it was at. They knew that if Kerry won it would be buried, and if Bush won it would cause a shadow to fall over the election, a win/win situation for the Michael Moore fanatics.
True enough.
I always blamed Perot and my friends who went for him. As the full truth about Clinton began to come out, and it became undeniably clear what kind of man he was, I was sure he had no chance for re-election without Perot's help.
Until election night in 1996, I was standing in line waiting my turn, and I took a good look at the people I was in line with. Thats when it suddenly hit me, we are toast. There is a portion of our population that is impermeable, unreachable, uninterested in classic liberal, conservative, constitutional principle. And if the Dems manage to mobilize them all on a given night, we have no chance.
It was fear of a repeat that mobilized all of our people to turn out in 2000 and 2004. I hope we are as scared in 2006 and 2008 or we will be steamrolled again.
Yeah, I'm nervous.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't George Bush occupying the Whitehouse? If not, my mistake, I really have been sleeping ;->
Larry David was the creator of Seinfeld.
My guess is that it's 1952.
*****Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't George Bush occupying the Whitehouse? If not, my mistake, I really have been sleeping ;->*****
haha, but much like Iraq, it was an illegal campaign and an illegal occupation!
=P
These rascally Republicans! These are Democrat votes cast in Democrat strongholds watched by both Republican and Democrat poll watchers and adjudicated by Democrat judges of election, and yet it's always Republican evildoing rather than Democrat incompetence that explains the spoiled ballots.
And democrats think they're gonna win in 2006 and 2008. They forget that we've got Karl Rove pulling strings. BUsh has corporate friends that trick the computerized vote counting machine. And dont forget we still have the Supreme Court that "selected" Bush in 2000 so if anything is close I'm sure the supreme court will see things our way. And if none of that works I'm sure Halliburton can do something to help the republicans win. LOL!
Boy are YOU in the wrong Universe! You see, if you BELEEEIVVE! harde enough and send Spiritual energy, then the outcome will be changed. ;)
This is even more idiotic than the post-2000 election moonbat, tin foil rants. They think push polls win actual elections. Idiots.
OOOOOOOH I see the DNC Whine Vintage 2004 is still on sale...
You want to see some REAL voter fraud, look to Washington state.
"The only real docutmented vote fraud/intimidation in 2004 was the thuggery that happened in Milwaukee."
I really think Bush won WI (except, he lost because of fraud, etc).
If one wants to talk voter fraud - - let's chat about the governor's election/selection in WA state. Of course, the Dims never want to bring that up and tell us to get over it. They just wiped another 55,000 off the voting records last weeek up here. And, based on that and other tidbits, I highly suspect that Slade Gorton, not Maria Can't-Vote-Well should have won the Senatorial election here in 2000.
