BBC NEWS | Americas | Florida ballot papers go missing

Some 60,000 absentee ballots were despatched by authorities in Broward County, north of Miami, this month.

However, only 2,000 of them have been delivered...

...In 2000, Broward gave Al Gore his biggest margin among Florida counties. He won 67% of the vote there, while losing the state to George W Bush.
Is there a need to say more?

A matter of degree, not of quality

The Bush administration is suddenly taking pains to calibrate the president's devoutness: yes, Mr. Bush is very religious, but he's not too religious - not hearing-voices religious.
So they are saying he's delusional enough to believe in his own divinely backed infallibility but not enough to actually hear what his source of divine inspiration wants??? Isn't that, well, fence sitting?

Is God an American Voter?

"To the captives, come out, and to those in darkness, be free," the president said.

"It seems a straightforward remark, almost a statement of the obvious," says Nicolson, author of a history of the King James Bible. "But to anyone familiar with the Bible, those few words ring far larger bells" because they come from a biblical passage (Isaiah 49.9) with a much more sweeping message:

"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me, to preach good tidings unto the meek, he hath sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God: for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation."

Nicolson says that Bush, in laying claim "to the robe of righteousness," was articulating a "vision of establishing the Christian God's dominion on earth" via war.

The implications for Iraq are disturbing, he says.

"To those who see war as an occasional and necessary evil, the developing situation in Iraq is a disaster. Violence is feeding violence. The Abu Ghraib pictures, the rounding up and detaining of thousands of civilians and the cockpit-shot film of an American pilot firing missiles into the streets of Fallujah: all of that has fuelled and will fuel decades of future rage and resentment," he writes.

"But for any Christian who is driven by an apocalyptic and millennial vision, these events are exactly what should be happening. Terrible and desperate violence, blood and grief are all, for them, mileposts on the road to God's dominion," Nicolson says.

It is one of the saddest ironies of our time that as America tries to calm the fires of theocracy abroad, it should be stoking milder versions of the same at home.
Can we please make religion a private matter? Shouldn't people be at least as embarassed about their irrational beliefs as they are about their sexual preferences?

Bush is losing among undecideds

"There is simply no way that Bush is winning right now. In my national polls, Kerry is slightly ahead. In RCP's national polls, it's tied. In RCP's state polls, Kerry is slightly ahead. Poll after poll shows Kerry leading in the battleground. For now at least, I don't care whether the 'Bush is winning' narrative helps us or hurts us. It is just fucking wrong, and considering that we were recently led into a war over lies--a war that cost tens of thousands of lives and has all but destroyed our reputation throughout the world--I can no longer tolerate lies concerning something of this importance."

We know they lied - here's the proof...

An excellent site worth long exploration. Including proof that the current administration knew Iraq had no WMD prior to Sept. 11, that sanctions were working and that they LIED afterward to justify war.

The below quote is (soon to be Rtd.) Gen. Colin Powel's in answer to a question in Cairo on Feb. 24, 2001.
We had a good discussion, the Foreign Minister and I and the President and I, had a good discussion about the nature of the sanctions -- the fact that the sanctions exist -- not for the purpose of hurting the Iraqi people, but for the purpose of keeping in check Saddam Hussein's ambitions toward developing weapons of mass destruction. We should constantly be reviewing our policies, constantly be looking at those sanctions to make sure that they are directed toward that purpose. That purpose is every bit as important now as it was ten years ago when we began it. And frankly they have worked. He has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors. So in effect, our policies have strengthened the security of the neighbors of Iraq...

The US and the world is safer since Bush decalred the UN irrelevant, kicked out the inspectors, and started a war.

"United Nations weapons inspectors had monitored the explosives for many years, but White House and Pentagon officials acknowledge that the explosives vanished sometime after the American-led invasion last year."
