we unbuilt this city in iraq and roll

* "On October 17, the New York Times ran an article on the use of exit polls to identify and prevent election fraud in a number of countries. The article suggested that exit polls might play a similar role in the upcoming U.S. election.
A November 5 New York Times article, and the rest of the U.S. media's coverage after the election, sang a very different tune, building in as an unargued assumption that the November 2 exit polls had been proved wrong by the official vote counts.
A leading investigator of this problem, BlackBoxVoting.org, appeared in 23 "mainstream" media articles or transcripts in the weeks leading up to the election, according to a Nexis search, (and none) since then. BlackBoxVoting has not vanished from the media because it's ceased activity. Rather, it's launched the largest series of FOIA requests in history and announced that it believes fraud took place in the election."

* "Taking the figures and measuring the size and direction of the poll to supposed vote count discrepancy, we find the variance between the exit poll and the final result:
Wisconsin Bush plus 4%
Pennnsylvannia Bush plus 5%
Ohio Bush plus 4%
Florida Bush plus 7%
Minnesota Bush plus 7%
New Hampshire Bush plus 15%
North Carolina' Bush plus 9%"

* "An influential foreign-policy neoconservative with close and long-standing ties to top hawks in the George W. Bush administration has laid out what he calls ''a checklist of the work the world will demand of this president and his subordinates in a second term.''" http://www.tompaine.com/print/neocons_gone_wild.php

* "We spoke with a group of generals and admirals that included a former supreme Allied commander and a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and they all agreed on one thing: Bush screwed up (iraq)... It's a huge strategic disaster, and it will only get worse. The sooner we leave, the less the damage... All in all, Iraq is a failure of monumental proportions... Iraq is a blood bath, and we need to be dealing with this in a much more sophisticated way than the cowboy named Bush.

* bev: "I was tipped off by a person very high up in TV that the news has been locked down tight, and there will be no TV coverage of the real problems with voting on Nov. 2. Even the journalists are pretty horrified." http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x2636130#top
