106,000 people in Florida voted for Foley. HUH?

FR_Chuck is almost right, and somewhat deceiving.\n\nIt was FLORIDA ELECTION LAW that would not let them change the ballot. It had nothing to do with the Democrats.\n\nIncidentally Florida has a Republican legislature and a Republicans Governor.  Democrats can't do anything in Florida if they wanted to.

About as much as they cared about that 16 year old who received Foleys perverted crap. They knew for months and instead of helping the kid they used his situation for political gain. Sick.

Could be, some of the toss-up states (e.g. VA) are within a thousand votes.  Close enough to count the absentee ballots.

In the 2000 election Gore won the popular vote, i.e. the majority voted for gore. In other countries you win if the majority votes for you. The foreigners dont believe that story about how Bush won because he got more of something called an electoral vote, especially since it happened in a state run by his brother. The election in Florida was done by computer, and everyone knows that a really good hacker can get into a computer and make it malfunction, so you know when theres something fishy going on with a computer, a hacker has made it past the firewall. Streamcat did'nt say concentration camp, he said temporary concentration camp, its a metaphor. People who the authorities considered inferior were locked up in a place where living conditions were a nightmare so they might think that New Orleans was a place they would not want to come back to after they became refugees. I wish Clinton was still president, those were the good old days.

Egads! Are you STILL dwelling on this? IT WAS 6 YEARS AGO! Look ahead and quit living in the past.\n\nYeah... Bush "cheated" by finding a way to control every voting machine in the state of Florida! Not just that, but the Republican party had to rig the rest of the states so ONLY Florida would be left to decide the vote, just so his brother could change things if it didn't work out!\n\nOne small, teensy, miniscule little problem... THE PRESIDENCY IS DECIDED ON ELECTORAL VOTES, NOT POPULAR VOTES!!!! Nobody has bothered to come up with the method of cheating THERE.\n\nInstead, the Liberal press and conspiracy theorists seem to enjoy telling everyone how the voting public in Florida was "misled" or (love this one) "disenfranchised"!! HEY, FLORIDA!! Don't you love how the rest of the nation is being told how absolutely STUPID you are; that you don't even know how to vote for a candidate of your choice??\n\nNow, will people give up this crap and focus on REAL life, HERE AND NOW???\n\nRascal77s: I did bare my teeth a little bit, but I didn't really mean to take a bite. Oh, well... blame it on me being an old, cranky conservative. ;-)

Prove it Buddy. You have it so wrong b/c even the news states that Dems have been spending that percentage on dissing the Republicans. Have you even watched the news lately. The news is also stating what will happen to the Dems if they do lose Nov. 6. Bet you didn't hear about that one. Or you did but you can't except the truth.

Are you really serious?\n\nIt is my opinion that he only wants the majority to believe his presidency (lol) is a divine appointment.\n\nHe wasn't up to the task six years ago and he has never been farther from completing the task as he is now... in my opinion...\n\nIf his Pres (lol) was a divine appt then why did Jeb have to fix the FLA votes?\n\nSorry - I apologize to all of the good-hearted Republicans who still believe in W.

Some are very brain washed by TV and News Papers, these people are the ones who want to be spoon fed by (red furry) news.\nHisBushyness has a job approval of 34 percent. Also 70 percent are opposed to the port deal. A full 62 percent of Americans think Iraq was a mistake now. 55 million Americans voted for Kerry and Kerry won Ohio.

My personal favorite was when they labeled Foley as a Democrat.  Maybe their fact-checkers where spacing out or maybe they were misinforming the public.  Either way, it makes for better entertainment than news.

There was this Guy from Texas who had his brother from Florida help ensure that many voters that were likely to vote against him would be disenfranchised. It ended up, however, working for him. It is sad that sometimes cheaters end up filling important jobs.

Lauran Ingraham, A right wing radio host, urged her listeners to jam phone lines intended to help voter fraud. See link # 1 below. \n\nTroops overseas received info on how to vote for Foley's replacement, but were told nothing of the opposing party. See link #2 below. \n\nThe FBI is currently looking into complaints of voter intimidation in Virginia where incumbent Allen (R) is struggling to keep his seat. See link #3 below \n\nDaggett County in Utah has more registered voters than they do residents. The story also indicates that the fraud here was intended to help republicans. See link #4 below. \n\nFraudulent "robo-calls" in Nebraska were obviously created to deter or discourage voters from voting democrat. See link # 5 below. \n\nAnd keep in mind, this is just a few. The voting stations aren't even closed yet. Democracy is at stake. We need to wake up.

it is probably good more people voted in 2004, and they did. this caused bush to win easier.

Yes, I voted, but in my state not too much changed....I'm in TX where the status quo reigns supreme.  However, I was pleased to see the turnout nationally.  I have a renewed faith in my fellow Americans...I'm glad others are sick of the "socially darwinist" agenda the Repubs. have been pushing.

John Kerry is a Victim of Himself, Not  the PC police or any other group.  I don't need a spinmeister either. I can hear his words and understand EXACTLY what  he means.  But this also goes back to the Mark Foley Non-Story.  The Media, in its vigor to be the next to tell the story, forgot to mention, that the SMS messages that got the publics attention were sent to a man over the age of18,  Who happened to be a former page. The emails were sent to a former page under the age of 18 but were not sexual in nature.  But all we heard about for 2 weeks was how terrible Republicans are for even having Gay men in the Party.\n\nEvidently they should only belong to the democrat party or stay out all together.  The problem is I know many "Log Cabin Republicans" And would trust my children with them on many occasions.

well, after they finally allowed the overseas military absantee ballots to be counted (that kerry's team tried to keep from happening because they arrived a day late or something similar), it wasn't even close.  Bush won by a large scale.  I don't know the actual numbers.

Many republican finks have been evacuating that sinking ship for some time now.  Many of them lost elections because they knew they couldn't support Bush and win and ended up having no platform on which to campaign.  That Foley thing was like the Titanic breaking in two, leaving half temporarily above water and the other half to drown helplessly.
