		<description>The ironic part is that a website automatically accuses a president of not listening to the will of the people. Oh wait, that&#039;s congress&#039; job. The president is not involved in the legislation process other than to sign or veto. Hmm, Bush hasn&#039;t vetoed much, and the true will of the people (the House of Representatives) despite the fact they&#039;re a different party hasn&#039;t overridden a veto. Hmm, it must be Bush&#039;s fault.</description>

		<description>There was strong opposition to an invasion of Iraq in this country until Rice and Bush started spouting about it being too late with a mushroom cloud hanging over our cities. Even following those false declarations there were 30 million world wide that demonstrated in the streets against the invasion. All fell on deaf ears. The desire to go to war was there so we went to war under false pretenses.</description>

		<description>obamaismymessiah,

Well, as I said above, they were accurate to 0.2% in 1992 and 1996.  And they were in 2000 and 2004 in non-swing states and other than the presidential race.  When I say Kerry won the nation by 3 million, I am talking about asking over 31,000 people who had just voted &quot;who did you just vote for?&quot;.   That is very empirical.   It is extremely, extremely impossible for that to be off by a full 3.0%!  Yet, that is what those who believe the official results have to believe.

Fact: we are not allowed to examine the software of the voting machines.  
Fact:  they are easily hackable and seem to have been made that way.  
Fact:  the head of Diebold swore that he would do everything to ensure that Bush won the election.  
Fact:  the original founders of the electronic voting machine companies were very theocratic.  
Fact:  Clint Curtis has testified in court that he made the software to flip the votes in Florida in 2000.</description>

		<description>I bet he said that with a straight face too. He still hasn&#039;t caught on to the facts. First no one listens to him anymore. And second everytime he opens his mouth and talks out both sides the whole world takes note and laughs.

Since Bush never goes online, he doesn&#039;t read the reports from other countries about himself. And since the media here reports little news from outside USA, people here don&#039;t know the extent of hatred for our Bush. 

But we of the internet do know. It will be a relief in the near future not to be embarrassed by this man, humiliated by his coarseness, and saddened by his lack of integrity and just plain common sense. 

Of course it will take twenty years of international mea culpa to the rest of the world.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Oval12345678 aka James K. Sayre Says:
...theocratic extremely right-wing computer election machine manufacturing corporations were in charge of “counting” the votes of millions and millions of Americans.&lt;/em&gt;

This is so true.  Add to that:  the exit polls said Kerry won the nation by 3 million and Gore won Florida by 300,000.  Add to that:  exit polls are accurate to 0.2%--and anyone who believes the official results is really a fool.

I&#039;ve heard the one about &quot;shy Republicans&quot; making the results flawed, but the evidence shows that the opposite was slightly true.  

Exit polls were extremely accurate in 1992 and 1996.  They were extremely accurate in 2000 and 2004 outside of swing states and outside of the presidential race.  If you have any kind of reasoning at all, that should tell you something.</description>

The will of the people says, 56% of us think he is a War Criminal, 72% think he is a Criminal, 28% of us are just fine with him being both.

		<description>Is the U.S. an un-regime or a non-regime or a regime-light?

		<description>It&#039;s called &quot;Republican Apologetics.&quot;

&lt;em&gt;Apologetics-colloquial use&lt;/em&gt;

Today the term &quot;apologist&quot; is colloquially applied in a general manner to include groups and individuals systematically promoting causes, justifying orthodoxies, or denying certain events, even of crimes. Apologists have been characterized as being deceptive, or &quot;whitewashing&quot; their cause, primarily through omission of negative facts (selective perception) and exaggeration of positive ones, techniques of classical rhetoric. When used in this context, the term often has a pejorative meaning.</description>
