Was the 2004 Election Stolen?

Republicans prevented more than 350,000 voters in Ohio from casting ballots or having their votes counted -- enough to have put John Kerry in the White House.

Like many Americans, I spent the evening of the 2004 election watching the returns on television and wondering how the exit polls, which predicted an overwhelming victory for John Kerry, had gotten it so wrong. By midnight, the official tallies showed a decisive lead for George Bush -- and the next day, lacking enough legal evidence to contest the results, Kerry conceded. Republicans derided anyone who expressed doubts about Bush's victory as nut cases in ''tinfoil hats,'' while the national media, with few exceptions, did little to question the validity of the election. The Washington Post immediately dismissed allegations of fraud as ''conspiracy theories,''(1) and The New York Times declared that ''there is no evidence of vote theft or errors on a large scale.''(2)

But despite the media blackout, indications continued to emerge that something deeply troubling had taken place in 2004. Nearly half of the 6 million American voters living abroad(3) never received their ballots -- or received them too late to vote(4) -- after the Pentagon unaccountably shut down a state-of-the-art Web site used to file overseas registrations.(5) A consulting firm called Sproul & Associates, which was hired by the Republican National Committee to register voters in six battleground states,(6) was discovered shredding Democratic registrations.(7) In New Mexico, which was decided by 5,988 votes,(8) malfunctioning machines mysteriously failed to properly register a presidential vote on more than 20,000 ballots.(9) Nationwide, according to the federal commission charged with implementing election reforms, as many as 1 million ballots were spoiled by faulty voting equipment -- roughly one for every 100 cast.(10)

I copy/pasted, freepmailed to you. My pleasure

Funny...I always thought the hurricane machine had something to do with it.

My bad...

Or maybe its a multi-purpose device? With different settings, so in other words, it could control minds, or control the weather?

[Behind Liberal Lines]

I ran into a perfectly pleasant woman last night who tried to tell me the voting machines are/were rigged. They're already gulping down the cool-aid on this one.

[Dutch Boy]

You forgot oil prices and the release of bin Laden tapes....

The left never ceases to entertain.

Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers...

thanks...

This is not simply a "nut" article.

This is something very significant.

Kennedy's want power and want to exercise their Divine Right of Kings to rule America. The old King (Teddy) is long over due and overly drunk. Other than in Massachusetts, Democratic Clubs and on the media, He is a laughing stock

This generation of Kennedy's had it's Prince (JFK Jr. and it's appointed-annointed Dukes, Patrick, Wm Kennedy-Smith and others.)

Robert Jr. was always content to sit back, align himself with "worthy" causes, spend the family fortune and be "newsworthy" enough to get invited to all the "right' parties and therefore get la*d a lot. (Welcome to politics 101.) It's the Kennedy Way.

But now the Prince is dead, the Dukes are disgraced and in treatment, so the Kennedy's ran an in-family help wanted ad for a new front man, and since he was the only sober one around who hadn't raped anyone, he was chosen.

Bottom line, this is the start (actually, a continuation of the recent start) RFK Jr. elective political career.

Expect there to be a major push to get him into some office in 2008, possibly a Senate seat, but probably a congressional one. A vice-presidential run (in full public denial) is also not out of the question. (Remember JFK in 56 with Stevenson.)

This foray into political issues, as opposed to his prior radical environmental work, is a sign of a major change in direction for him.

Expect overtures to the Gay Wing of the DNC next. Remember, the Gays were quietly Kerry's earliest supporters and are 100% in the Hillary Camp. (It's a chance to elect one of their own.) I'm not attacking Gays here, but this is how the power politics game is played.

Next will be speeches for himself is he runs this year (?) but more importantly, speeches and fund raising for Dems everywhere. He will be building a power base.

RFK Jr is now on track for a presidential run in 2012 or 2616.

I agree. I believe the past six years of vile MSM attacks and vicious hatred, which have now programmed large TV-glued Americans, are all rooted in the sore-loser aspect. They hate Reps. anyway, didn't get away with their election rigging and lies, and are determined to undermine everything this administration does.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The Kennedy curse.
Can't ski.
Can't fly.
Can't drive.
Can't speak the truth...

They better watch out we know how to do it now.

[Tijeras_Slim]

They're welcome to try and take them "back". ;)

[mountainlyons]

The GOP lost 120,000 votes thrown out in Chicago I think it was. If John Hanoi Kerry had gotten the win, I would not be able to set by and let him do it. I had enough rage that he was running and not in prison until I felt he would not win.

Dear Bobby:

A better question is this one: did your uncle Senator Ted Kennedy negligently murder a young woman and get away with it?

Until members of the Kennedy family come clean about that dark, billowing cloud hanging over your Camelot, your opinions on anything, anytime, anywhere are suspect.

As to voter fraud - I'd look a lot closer to home, if I were you. Research Kennedy family history before you accuse anyone else of voter treachery.

Sincerely,

A long memory

Hey, that's not fair! Audrey Hepburn sounded young and sweet with her high voice. RFK Jr. sounds like J. Lieberman. That's my fantasy of a Democrap ticket. Who better than those 2 to bray the whiny Dummycrat platform?

[brivette]

good point

[definitelynotaliberal]

Thought you might agree. There's that built-in tremor, after all. That, I think, is the distinguishing feature. Even the stauchest Dumbocrat would have a hard time listening to those two. They would vote for them, no doubt. Kennedy is God to them and they never know who/what they're voting for anyway. They just pick names with the D attached. I'm a donkey, you're a donkey, that's good enough for me! Then they talk about us stealing elections. I haven't met 1 yet who even knows on what committee Jean Francois Kerry serves (yes, yes, I know that's an exaggeration of what he does in the Senate). It certainly isn't a high talent activity to steal anything from them. Baby, candy, however it goes!

[ Was the 2004 Election Stolen? ]

Absolutely.. A RINO running against a known Traitor in 2004 and a known Moron in 2000 FORCED you to vote for the RINO..

A brilliant gambit it was too..

An article that will appeal to the tinfoil hat, space aliens are living among us and Walt Disney is in a freezer at Disneyland crowd.

Hey now! I saw with my own eyes the marquee at our entertainment center:

"Disney on Ice"

No S*&T stupid. Now tell someone who cares.
