He becomes the President with the most votes ever.

He also is the first to win a majority of the votes since 1988.

things are already starting to surface about problems with voting.

not that kerry would have won anyways, but its something to think about. and this could easily explain why the first projections were so far off.

but really, the reason bush won and the only reason he won is because he is a president during a time of WAR. thats all.

im just not looking forward to 4 more years of lies, terrorism, and fear.

Funny, most polls on people who voted for Bush say the reason they voted for Bush were for his moral values. War was one of the lesser issues to them. But it's good to get your opinion on why other's voted for him.

And you have a lot of nerve to talk about an article having controversy in Ohio, seeing as though Ohio is home to the woman who was giving crack to people who registered to vote and promised to vote for Kerry. Also the people who were registering in Ohio and Florida, sending absentee ballots to Ohio and voting in Florida.

Your other site shows a bunch of things on California's problem (that went to Kerry) or stories from the deep south who had Bush winning big. The southeast is historically Republican, and anyone would have been thorougly shocked if Kerry got one of them (which he didn't). Hell, look at the map when comparing the vote. It's almost all red. Getting New York and California is the only thing that made Kerry close.

And first projections (the exit polls) were so skewed because people are even admitting that the exit polls were based largely on females. A majority of women voted for Kerry, while a majority of men voted for Bush.

Though I admit, it was humourous to see how giddy our 80% liberal media (polls have been done) to see when they thought Kerry was going to win. Hell, they were about to throw their own party. It was great to see how deflated they got as the night went on.

yep, americans voted in the majority for bush, he also won the electoral college, there's no way to de-legitimize it. hopefully nothing too bad will happen, I'm crossing my fingers, and now more than ever I'm loving being canadian.

Yeah, but when I stated Bush won majority for the first time since 1988, I mean he got over 50% of the voters. (roughly 51%). Even Clinton during his years had 49% at his best.

^exactly what I meant too, by majority vote and electoral college. no one can say that the american people didn't want him as preseident, cause clearly for whatever reason the majority felt he was the better candidate. once again I just hope nothing really bad happens, and that maybe, just maybe he'll be able to wrap up the mess in iraq without and further major devastation.

technically bush has not officially won. ohio will count their provisional votes in 10 days. when this happens, if kerry wins the vote (which he will not) then he will win. him conceding is not legally pertinent.

im going to move to Europe or something..................... i hate him as my prez.

Actually David, Bush was leading in all states that were left when Kerry conceded. Even with losing Ohio (which is doubtful, since 90% of provisional votes probably won't be allowed), he can win the rest of the states he was leading and still win.

I'm gonna try to silence myself for a bit since it's just after the election, but I found an interesting quote you guys should read.

“Those under thirty that aren’t liberal, have no heart. Those over thirty that aren’t conservative, have no brain” -Winston Churchill

Nice,go Republicans ^_^

i beleve that we needed a war but it shud have been 4 the right reasons and it wasntto find weapons it was to find oil

i think the current state of affairs is a bit more complex than that. btw, nearly all of the oil seized in iraq is useless and cannot be used in american/asian/euro cars.

as far as the election goes, i sympathize for anyone who is still upset with the results. i think its time to move on (if you havent already). you must accept that a large majority of america selected the lesser of two evils, which apparently was dubya.
more shockingly, the biggest issue among voters was moral values. and since americans know so much about moral values... :rofl:

Based on exit polls...Exit polls also had Kerry winning. So wouldn't take that to heart too much.

honestly putting all politics aside, from what i hear, kerry got screwed out of thousands of votes in ohio and in florida. but what can you do. the election is long over and everyone is already talking about 2008

Ohio and Florida had people voting in both states...actually voting in one and absentee voting in another. Ohio had the person giving away crack to people who signed up to vote promised to vote for kerry. I don't really care anything about those states.

But if honest people got cheated out of their vote then that is a shame.

bush = the biggest douche ever

Fucking hell, this thread is ancient and not even relevant anymore. No point in bumping it, especially for a post like that.
