Ha! Got it! It has been a long time since I played with Opera File Explorer. BTW, for these goobers: '*' = 'asshole' = GW. That is their shorthand for Bush. It also seems to be a matter of faith for them that the Diebold electronic voting machine problems are some kind of Repub plot to "steal the election again".

nobody burned by 2000 was swayed to Bush's NAZI American imperialist plans. Bush was fated to follow poppy. They make votes up for this f*cker, check out the Texas vote totals from 92, 94, 96, 2000. You'll see. You'll see...

2. because so many of us feared diebold and voted early
now they will use that against us by claiming victory even before the absentee ballots are counted, and then by trying to say America can't wait while we count them. I voted two weeks ago. They haven't counted my vote yet, or my husband's, or our daughter's, or all the other people who didnt' want to vote on fixed up Diebolds.

No surprise that FOX would call * when nobody else does. They want to set up the air of inevitability.

4. They are still voting in Ohio, so FOX can't possibly know how this will
turn out. Nobody else has made a projection. Al Franken thinks that Ohio will go blue because in the urban areas around Cleveland, which traditionally vote Democratic, they are still voting. He doesn't think that we will know the results until tomorrow. He called Florida for Bush*, but still believes that we can pull this off.

most of the country is fearful right now. They see * as their terra daddy.
We lost tonight. We can expect to be further marginalized in the next few years.
We are DONE as a "party". The nation has, sadly, spoken. The US *wants* more war, more bigotry, more insularism, more "empire". It makes the majority- however wrong they are in the long term- feel good and safe NOW.
Ten years from now, * will be seen as a serious mistake- IF we're still around as a nation. But for now- we're DONE.
THEY have spoken.

12. I think the exit polls were right on last time
I can't believe I keep hearing pundits say that they blew it in Florida in 2000 by calling it first for Gore. Well yeah -- because the exit polls asked people who they voted for - or who they TRIED to vote for -- but as it turned out, so many of those votes were butterflied or chadded or just not counted. But the exit polls had it just right.
But you never hear anyone admit it.
And I think the same devious, anti-democracy tactics are at it again today.

something is wrong
i mean even tucker carlson predicted a kerry sweep.
Zogby predictied a larger margin...
millions of dollars used to flush out new democratic voters...
hundreds of thousands of new voters turned out... one in 7 voters didn't vote in 2000... most, if not all voted for kerry...
not many "new" votes came out for Bush...
all exit polls showed a larger lead...
what is wrong? why are we not sweeping Bush?
I can smell a conspiracy.
something is odd here.
