election

2002 Election Stolen Have any of you ever read Rob Kennedy's argument presented here... http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0601-34.htm Do these types of claims, warrent at least an investigation or am I becoming a CTer....:scared: Edit: I messed up the title.....

I want to start this thread to see some discussion of the election. Not just opinions, election issues and results, but also people's voting experiences etc. Any takers?

Absolute power currupts bla bla bla. I think Americans are getting fed up with the right. South Dakota abortion law, the Iraq mess, katrina/Fema, Ports for sale,.......are just some examples of Rebublican bad press. This is a good opportunity for the dems to take control of Congress. Thats...

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060212/ap_on_go_co/cia_leak Looks like George Allen is making a play to the post-Bush era first (after McCain), among likely Republican presidential candidates. It is inevitable that Bush's unpopularity will weigh in on the 2008 race, and candidates will have to...

The first vote for the new Republican leader in the House resulted in more votes cast than there were members in the room: http://dailynightly.msnbc.com/2006/02/the_return_of_h.html Priceless.

So today is the big day! Personally, I am still undecided between voting NDP or for some flaky independant.

Instead of moving towards a democratic state they have "elected" theocracy and terror. (emphasis mine) And whats an election without a few baby pictures? Hamas supporters, one holding a copy of the Quran and a child on his shoulders, take part in a rally celebrating the group's strong...

Parties allied to President Hugo Chavez say they have won all 167 seats in the country's parliament, after elections boycotted by the opposition. None of the five main opposition parties took part, accusing the electoral body of bias. Only about 25% of registered voters cast a ballot. A...

Election Day has finally arrived! For the political stances of the candidates on all the issues, see this topic. Polls will close when I have the majority of votes.

Silence has fallen in this thread: http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60654 So I am going to take the liberty of claiming that, pending new and substantial evidence, the theory that the 2004 US Presidential election was marred by massive and probably...

GET OUT THE VOTE by SEYMOUR M. HERSH Did Washington try to manipulate Iraq’s election? Issue of 2005-07-25 Posted 2005-07-18 The January 30th election in Iraq was publicly perceived as a political triumph for George W. Bush and a vindication of his decision to overturn the regime of Saddam...

59% last time. Any guesses on what it will be this time?

I just received this email from Greg Palast. Obviously a lot of basic errors in his reporting, but I am interested if any Brits reading this agree with Palast’s assessment of how Blair is viewed by the people. I haven’t lived in the UK for 10 years and am obviously out of touch.

Just read this: http://politics.guardian.co.uk/election/story/0,15803,1470260,00.html and I thought it was amusing and truthful:

Seriously, nothing gets me more hot under the collar than what we have seen in recent days. Two sets of statistics come out, one of them is widely recognised as unreliable (the police's recorded figures) due to changes in recording techniques, levels of reporting e.t.c. The other is a survey...

so no new pope yet. Black Smoke Apparently God isn't a good communicator "If you don't believe, you think this is like politics. But if you believe, as I do, in the power of prayer, you know they will be illuminated to make the right choice," said Annick Vandamme, who had traveled from...

My vote is for Labour's majority to be reduced to around 40ish. (However if the PPB I saw tonight is any indication of Labour’s election campaign I reckon I may have to change that to a 163 seat majority for the Conservatives!)

So my sources tell me! Councils are booking polling venue for the election on the 9th!

Just back from doing my duty as a citizen. We have an election today, electing our parlament. Probability has that the present government coalition will get another term, but you never know till the last vote is counted, which is usually shortly before midnight. The ballots will close at 8pm...

Coming up fast on Sunday, thought I would start a thread so we can make our predictions/opinions on it. The spin I will be watching for is what percentage of voters will be considered to be...wait for it...a "mandate" for democratic rule in Iraq. If the Kurds and Shai'a turn out in the numbers...

Less than a week away!! I dont know what the hell is going to happen. I here there are like 7000 candidates, but its hard to tell jsut whos who cause they are afraid to campaine. Voting will probably be a hazard with all these insurgents planning to disrupt things. Any odds on voter turnout...

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,143844,00.html I don't blame Arafat for all that has gone wrong in this ongoing conflict, but he certainly didn't seem to have the ability to give any clear indication of what should be happening, or how it could happen, and he didn't seem to have any...

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=540&ncid=716&e=2&u=/ap/20050108/ap_on_re_mi_ea/iraq We have a great show for you this evening folks! The attractions include: - A lazer light show projected onto a fountain of Israeli blood. - A "May-Pole" dance performed by the girls. The...

Jeeze the Dem's and lefties are going absolutely apesiht over Ohio. Claims of Fraud , lawsuits, sinister stories about denying voters the right to vote, possible fraud on machines. I've been listening to Pacifica radio ( ya there's a unfiltered neutral news outlet). The stories are getting...

As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for. Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani is arraying a party to oppose Allawi. Chalabi, friend of the neo-cons, has been resurrected as part of this outfit. I suspect that the mullahs in Iran may be starting to see some of the benefits of...

There has been a substantial amount of moaning and groaning from the Democratic camp over the recent election which suggests to me there is a need for some historical perspective. Crying that Bush got "only" 51 percent of the vote and had better heed the losing 48 percent (or half) of the...

As you all know, as the resident athiest neocon social libertarian I had a duty to get Dubya re-elected. The rationale being, 1 out of 3 is better than 0 of 3. So, the plan was hatched. We noticed that most election boards were too incompetent to use diebold machines correctly so we launched a...

There. Feel better now? Now if you'll excuse me, my black helicopter is waiting.

Someone has clearly forgotten to take his meds:

Quite frankly I'm shocked and surprised that the election went the way it did. It's a democratic system (more or less), and the majority have chosen the leader. I don't think that the margin of victory for Bush is that large but at least there was no repeat of the fiasco in Florida we had in...
