In reply to:Unfortunately for you, it's not up to you so you can basically think what you want ... the millions of people who voted for him say otherwise.Who is it up to to determine whether Bush was elected legitimately? The Supreme Court decided that Bush would be president his first term. But that doesn't answer the question.Whether Bush stole the election is besides the point that sometimes election are stolen, even though the candidate who did the stealing got some legitimate votes. You follow? In the end it will be up to the historians.Maybe one or more top official of the Bush administration will end up in prison. Nah, Bush would just pardon them on the last day of his term.

~~~REAL LIFE PRISON STORIES~~~

In Nevada, all the democratic registrations were thrown out last election.
-
Well I'm sure he did steal his way to being elected... and I'm sure no one found out, and I'm sure the ones who found out have been kept quiet somehow.
BUT then there's you guys, who know it all .. what perfect citizens you are.
Oh, did he blackmail the entire supreme court too?
Just becuase you don't like the man doesn't mean he cheated k?
-
Yeah I'm sure they wereDid Bush blackmail the legislature of Nevada too then? You guys are morons
-
And, Bush's approval rating is at 36%. So apparently, 64% of america hates him.
-
That doesn't really matter too much NOW does it? If his ratings were that low during election time he obviously wouldn't have won
-
Unless, some fraud occured.
-
You guys are such idiots? When were thos approval ratings made? during the election? Didn't think so.Andd id you ever think that those polls could be false because people didn't wanna admit they liked him?
-
Why would you lie on an anonymous survey? And Kerry won the popular vote, just not all the electorals.
-
So what are you complaining about?Bush won in the states that matter.. it's called strategy
-
so Bush won fair and square.
I'm glad that you live your life, knowing that you've never made a bad decision. -
Who said I never made a bad decision?
-
> And Kerry won the popular vote, just not all the electorals.
That was Gore, not Kerry. If Kerry has gotten more votes in Ohio (just enough to have won the state), he would have won the election while losing the popular vote, which is what happened 4 years before. Still, for some reason, we don't want to let go of the Electoral College.

we have a simmilar issue here due to the riding system. Our parlement is made up of memebers that are elected in certain ridings. It's the number of MPs that makes or breaks a government rather that the total number of votes. It's further complicated by the fact that we have 4 parties with status (seats in parlement) plus smaller parties and independants.If you concider an oversimplified (and inprobable) mathematical extream...3 parties running1 party gets 34% of the votes in 51% of the ridings (the rest of the votes divided equally between the other 2 parties) and no votes in any other riding.The result is that you have a majority government with a little more than 17% of voters' support.sure, it's an almost impossible situation, but it demonstrates the reason that people don't think their vote matters, and THAT'S a big problem!60.4% of elligible voters turned out last time meaning the above example would have seen a majority parlement with less than 11% public support.
-
> 60.4%
I think that's a better turnout than most U.S. elections get. It sucks to have one party, it sucks to have two parties, it sucks to have four parties... Maybe three parties would be good. :wink:

Lets clear up one thing, I have no doubt that there are people who support Bush, undying support no matter what he does or doesnt do. Iv met those people I know they exist.Ther is alot of evidence that he stole the election and its o record, in many state that had a given population and suddely had 2 or 3 thouseand votes more then they had living registered voters. I didnt say hes not president and I never said he has no support, I said hes a sneaking bastard with no honor who should be tried or the war crimes he commited. I said I would not vote for the slimey shit sucking bastard. Iv been known to make statment that he would usea chicken to jerk off in its asshole ans suck out the mess with a straw, I hae no proo, its just somethig a real sick degenerate would do and I liken him to that type of person.Is he the pres? yes the bastard is. Most importantly though if you dont vote, you dont get to bitch oe way or another, I voted and it wsnt for Dubbya, I get to bitch and I do so on a regular basis.This whole political thing is not 100% off topic really when you consider that if that bastard were ipeached as he should be and tried for the shit hes done he could well goto prison and then Cheney could pardon his meat puppet and retire him to a ranch and he can live out his days with his cream filed chickens.

I think the guy you replied to thinks that O.J. is innocent, since the jury at the criminal trial voted not guilty.
-
Can we get back to prison stories??
-
Considering the demographic of people who post here, I'd be surprised if a lot of people who post here have been to prison. I doubt that the convicted pedophiles will discuss their prison experiences, if there are any around here.Anybody from outside of the U.S. been to jail?

ROFLMAO! Too Funny Stevey Pie!
