I think you have to join the site to get access to the vote though.

But site is probably worth joining anyhow.

Tis Free.

As an American living in Florida (where the last presidential election was hi-jacked, thus ensuring Bush the winner) I'm embarassed. Bush isn't my president, he wasn't elected, and he doesn't represent the way the majority of Americans feel. Americans haven't largely become idiots within the last 4 years, believe it or not.

but...

tis funny how the number 11 is the number of people who favor the Visit of George W Bush.

In the Jewish Cabal, 11 is the path that leads to the Qlipoth, or the Dark Side!

Thus, those 11% are truly evil, or it was just the journos at the Sunday Indo wacking away at their keyboards at an oul' Dale County, Florida attept to alter votes!

There was an "investigation" after the so-called "election" here in Florida. The NAACP (National Aassociation for the Advancement of Colored People) attempted to take Florida to court for the following reasons: Black Americans typically vote as Democrats. Bush (or The Idiot Boy King, if you prefer) is a republican (translation: fascist). That election set civil rights in this country back at least 100 years. Not in any other election that I can remember in my lifetime did police from the southern tip of the state to the northern tip of the state set up roadblocks in black neighborhoods and detain people for hours for nothing more that stupid I.D. checks (something which should be unconstitutional here, by the way). These people were denied access to the polls. Hundreds of other black people were listed incorrectly on the voting rolls as convicted felons, meaning that they would have no right to vote. It was an all-out assault on the voter. And it worked. I'm not going to lie and say that Americans are still noble. No. We're not. We have the highest standard of living in the world, and we are lazy and indifferent. We let it happen. The politics of hatred (because that's what American republicanism is) has won. When I have discussed this with my neighbors what I hear is an angry backlash against a host of cultural changes they don't understand ( the increasing independence of women, the increasing role of other races in mainstream American society, gay marriage, legalized abortion,rap music, you name it - there's a fat white parasite of a republican "journalist" on teevee decrying it as a moral outrage). It's too bad that they don't think the coup (cleverly disguised as an election) was a moral outrage, too. It was. I console myself with the knowledge that eventually, "what goes around, comes around." And I fantasize about what a well educated and organized group of "awake" citizens could do. It's not good enough, I know, but I don't know how to do anything else right now but talk and spread the truth.
Oh - you mentioned Dade county. I used to live there. I grew up there, as a matter of fact.That's the city where most of the Cuban refugees have stayed. Most of these people are wonderful and they have changed Miami for the better. It's like an exotic foreign country with very friendly natives. However, Castro is a fascist. When you've lived under fascism for many years you then must learn to live in a Democracy. One has to learn to accept the different ideas of others without trying to beat them with bats and clubs. Well, when accurate vote counts were being attempted, that's exactly what happened. Many of Castro's refugees are attracted to republicanism (hey, it's not so different from home) and they stormed the voting center and attacked the people counting the votes. It was disgusting. They got away with it, too. The other congenital idiot in the president's family, his brother jeb, is the governor of Florida. Now you know why the election got screwed.
