  Re:Bush Not Being Defeated By A 10 Point Margin

  "Had so many citizens not been denied the right to vote, perhaps Bush would have been beaten by at least a 10 point margin"

  What pre-election polls did you read which showed Bush being defeated by a 10 point margin? Hmmm?

  Zero.

  Because it was a close election, that's why. If polls in the weeks before election had shown Bush being soundly defeated by 10 points, any voter fraud in Ohio wouldn't have made a damn bit of difference. He would have lost. The incompetence of the Democratic Party, not voter tinkering in Ohio, is responsible for Kerry's defeat. He was a shitty candidate who ran a shitty campaign. People, start dealing with it. You sound just like Bush with all your blaming the other guy. Was there voter malfeasance? Probably. Was it enough to steal the election? I don't think so. Many Americans went out and voted against Kerry rather than FOR Kerry, just as some went out and voted against Bush, rather than FOR Bush. And they voted against Kerry because they didn't like him. He was stiff, he acted like a jerk, he was not for one minute genuine, he came off as a pompous, phony windbag and worst of all, he let the Swift Boaters walk all over him. If he allowed a bunch of lying Texans to walk all over him, Middle America said, what would he do when he had to deal with Al Qaeda?

  Kerry never challenged the Swift Boaters when it mattered. Even today, he is "still looking into it."

  Oh please.....
