Nevermind, Kerry had them down also. Turned out his lies were just as big and plentyful as the man who sent he ass packing back to Mass.

That 100,000 number is complete B.S.
Slate: 100,000 Dead or 8,000

Why do you think it’s complete B.S.? You trust the administration that lied about weapons of mass destruction and is lying now about the current situation?

Al Sistani hates the United States. He watched the United States overthow the Iranin Democracy in 1953 – the entire report is declassified now:

That’s not even the 1/2 of it of course.

We all know that the gay marriage issue was just a red herring that would never be tackled by Bush. So yes, a lot of people were fooled by Bush’s stance on that, although many were also fooled into thinking that Kerry was in support of gay marriage, which we all know that he was not.

Gee whiz, how could people be confused about Kerry’s actual stance? Golly, I wonder what political party would have lied about Kerry’s actual stance? Gosh – I’m confused.

Yes sir, the Republican party certainly stands for morals today!

Adam, yeah… politics has stooped low, but not as low as it has in the past. Buying votes with crack cocaine isn’t that much of an aberration, in the grand scheme of things.

Karl Rove is the master of gutter politics. He has to be to get a coke blowing loser that has accomplished absolutely nothing in his useless life into the presidency. He was pushing pamphlets that accused McCain of having fathered an illegitimate child from a black woman in 2000 and he was probably behind the Swiftvets For “Truth” which McCain pointed out was false, even though he was campaigning for Bush at the time.

It’s OK to lie, as long as you’re a Republican. Anybody know where Bush was when he was supposed to be in Alabama in the national guard? I think he was in a drug rehabilitation program.

He got his DWI erased, this is no different.

Well, at least middle American got one of their own into power. Forget that he’s never worked a honest day in his entire life and is nothing more than a spoiled brat that ran every company he ever ran into the ground and is related to the English royality. He’s a “regular guy”, just like Joe Sixpack…

In the last example, the “issue” was gay marriage, yet it’s not banned. Supposedly a lot of people voted for Bush for “moral reasons”, yet this is the same man that has killed 100,000 Iraqi civilians and sacrificed 1,500 US soldiers lives with the pretense that Saddam Hussein was a threat to the United States, when he never was and then made the most powerful political figure in Iraq Al Sistani.

Of course, the Bush administration on numerous ocassions claimed that Al Qaeda and Hussein were linked, but never bothered to mention that binLaden has repeatedly called for the assassination of Hussein. I’m also certain that binLaden is bitterly disappointed that the most powerful political force in Iraq now is a religious figure, we all know how much binLaden hates religious leaders.

Kerry is right, voters are stupid.

You can’t pretend that this stuff is limited to only one party.

I hadn’t heard about the crack cocaine thing, but I do remember that there was a lot of vandalism and harassment on the part of Dems against Republicans right before the election. I agree that neither side is blameless in this stuff.

It’s sad that neither group seems willing to treat something as serious as the selection of the President with some maturity. Instead we get a bunch of double-dealing, frat boy pranks, and asinine behavior — on both sides. Sometimes I really have to wonder about people in general, and their capacity for self-governance specifically, when I hear this crap.

Then again US elections have historically been marred by this kind of behavior, and this was not the first highly contentious Presidential contest. Everyone remembers 2000, but similar events occurred in 1824, 1876, 1888, and 1960.

I think that replacing the winner-take-all electoral college system would go a long way toward curbing corruption. Until that happens, however, we have to be willing to work peaceably within the system we have. It’s a lesson people from both parties could stand to learn.

I’ll be getting off this soapbox now.

Regardless of how gullible the voters must’ve been to believe such nonsense (pretty damned gullible), it doesn’t relieve local Republican party leadership of their culpability for these lies and deceptions. We can’t have honest elections in this country so long as operatives of one party are tying to swindle their way to victory.

Besides, if their guy was so much in the right why did they feel it necessary to commit fraud in order to get him elected?
