So true .... i am a landscaper and i had a customer's wife tell me that the
reason we have a shortened supply of oil is because Cuba is letting China
drill for oil off of its coasts and that the Chinese are drilling horizontally
and stealing "our oil" from the Gulf of Mexico. I asked her and she is
a big viewer of Bill O'Rielly and Fox. I must say she is salt of the earth
good people .... pitchers of ice water or lemonade when I am working on
hot days.

The proof that Ohio 2004 was dirty is massive because if you believe in math and
statistics all the "things" that happened favored W .... if it was random
then the glitches would have broken evenly for either Kerry or bush
but every f***ing one broke for bush. Please believe it was not just in Ohio
in Oklahoma voting machines ran backwards, in Indiana in some counties
a third party candidate got more votes than John Kerry, in a small town in N.
Carolina of less than 3,000 people W pulled in over 20,000 votes which was
attributed to a "glitch" in some software.

As for me I have given up on the 20 to 25% of dumb ass born again right wingers
because they will not listen to or read the facts. To me they are more of a threat
to American than the al Qaeda ever was.
