Shouting about terrorists every minute is laughable - but it seems to work in the US. The Sheeple actually seem to believe the "administration" is doing something about it - and that it needs to be done to begin with.
You must be american. Get over it - or take some lessons from countries (Spain, England) that have had "terrorists" to deal with for many years - and you don't see them going bananas over it and mentioning it in all sorts of contexts.
I'm sorry, but I missed something. Is there some other more apt reaction to a government with a long, bloody track record of torturing, killing and suppressing its people in the name of ideology?
I'm sorry - but I read through that article and many many comments and I still don't see how you can be sure that those lost votes did benefit Kerry.. ?
On the contrary, among the comments was some info that was new to me regarding even more reports of Republican fraud.
Possibly. I have the utmost respect for Moses, Jesus and Mohammed as leaders of their rebellions - but I see no point in the religions created around them. They don't need that (nor did they want it) - if only more people actually bothered with their actual teachings...
Certainly, as with many oral traditions, historical accounts become mythologised, re-interpreted with each generation, and generally skewed.... like when the Jewish history was told and re-told during babylonian captivity to preserve the identity of the people - yet in THAT particular case it's supposedly not distorted in any way.
A lot of Europeans has told USians about Bush and the USA. Despite knowing the facts, the USians still elected Bush and kept their two-party lineup.... etc.
No, why should I? The released tape three days (nice timing, whether it was Karl or Osama remains to be seen) before the election together with how high "terrorism" ranked on the voter's agenda accomplished the same thing.
Your so-called democratic election is the laughing stock of the world. Yesterday an american writing on a forum my sister visits told everyone that in their county all early votes (before election day) had been "lost". If that would happen here it would be a HUGE scandal - but it seems the US doesn't care all that much about what the people wants.
I don't get it. Actually I don't get anything about elections in the US - you seem to make EVERYTHING complicated. I've never had to stand in line to vote, no one is allowed to try to influence my vote at the voting station, my political views and affiliations are mine only etc etc... oh, and our votes are counted and ready incl paper trails (they're paper&pen) in just a few hours...
Check the trade balance. It's the US that needs to trade with the rest of the world to survive - not the other way around.

Please list all european countries with left side driving.
as Mr Bush has often said, there is a need in life for accountability. He has refused to impose it himself, and so voters should, in our view, impose it on him...
You're registered in one precinct, and you show your "voting card" when you vote. Unless you manage to get voting cards belonging to other people, and vote before they do/want to, there's not a problem.
Again - it works everywhere else - what makes you think the US is so special it wouldn't work for you?

BOO TERRORISTS!

Why did you bring up the US?
I'm sorry - but I read through that article and many many comments and I still don't see how you can be sure that those lost votes did benefit Kerry .. ?

Seriously, I'm fairly certain that in the last two weeks there have been at least a couple reports of mistakes that helped the Democrats.
Please come up with one.
... in the USA. In other countries children do have more rights.
You're not free. We're just wondering when you're going to realise it.

... or why not get into the "Sea of reeds" debacle ... :) Doesn't make pretty paintings of huge waves though ...

Weird, isn't it?
... which makes it "Bones'" - with an apostrophe. The _use_ of it being correct, but not the placement.
Two of them has.

Oh irony.

Party affiliation?

On your registration card?

Nintendo ONLY does games. Compare Nintendo with the games-sections of Sony and Microsoft and be amazed where you'll find Nintendo at.
They have truckloads of money.
Nintendo has a lot of systems yet to make.
The Gamecube has almost sold as much world wide as the Xbox - and there are no chipped cubes in those numbers like there are chipped Xboxes.

It will be a very short list.
Just because 50% of the science in ADAT were bollocks doesn't mean the other 50% weren't spot on.
It will get REALLY F*CKING COLD where I live when (not if) the gulf stream shuts down.

If they did, it would suddenly become quite obvious. I live in a state with free speech, unlike what's currently seen in the US.
Prior to each election voter's cards are sent out to those who are allowed to vote. We don't send cards to dead people.
If they're dead, they haven't got a voter's card.

Every professional agrees that a paper ballot is a formula for disaster'
... it works in the rest of the world - even in areas larger than the USA.
