Evidence is abundant and compelling that the presidential election of 2004 and key congressional races in 2002 were stolen

Oh please ! Those races were lost because the Democrats couldn't strategize their way out of a paper bag. Voter fraud while it exists (and always has) didn't play any decisive role.

And Shrub was elected the first time because the election was so close that a goofball like Nader was able to drain votes away (much as Perot had from Republicans in a previous election.)

As long as you've still got enough hoseheads in the Red States who are more afraid of Gay Marriages somewhere like San Francisco than they are of our country's extremely dangerous just in time dependence on mideast oil, or who think The Great Cause facing America is overturning Roe vs Wade instead of our national debt and the very real risk of a currency rout on the dollar, yes the Republicans can get re elected. Similarly for the morons who think a blowjob in the oval office is a far greater crime than sending our men to uselessly die in an Iraq "insurgency" on false pretexts, when a more effective realpolitik form of diplomacy would have been to leave Saddam in place to control that country for us at far lesser cost.

I could go on and on about the stupidity of the public that voted for Bush, but as Adlai Stevenson has said, "In America anyone can get elected president, that's one of the risks you take".
