Attention people talking about things they don't understand:
Every ballot in NH was a paper ballot. Diebold was only used to COUNT SOME of the ballots -- the originals all exist.
Ron Paul lost because he's a lunatic fringe candidate, not because of some vast conspiracy.
Principled politician, Molly Naivitus (D-MA) then continutes on to vote against the Partial Birth Abortion Act and quietly wonders if there's any difference.
I know this is going to get modded down, but I have to say this.
I don't quite understand why the Slashdot editors allow submissions with lines like "Sounds both unconstinutional and wasteful" on the site. It's just bad journalistic practice. Even if Slashdot "isn't trying to be a news outlet" and it's just "exposing the voice of the people", practices like this do nothing but give the so-called geek culture and image of childish, adolescent elitism.
The thing that bothers me most however, is that Commander Slashdotter feels no remorse for tearing FOX News a new one for projecting Bush the winner (when, given the amount of votes left and the history of the unreported counties he was clearly going to win) because this shows some sort of "bias", you have no qualm with having your own news stories served to you on a silver platter of editorialism. Sure, if FOX News had said, "Thank God Bush is about to win, we beat the fag Kerry", I would be bothered if no outrage was raised, but when the same sort of thing is passed off as legitimate by an agency even trying to pass itself off as half-credible, I'm going to call them out on it.
And just one more note: there's no way to fully understand the ramifications of complex political matters just by RTFA.

Because none of Clinton's appointments ruled in that 9-0 decision, eh?

So, I don't understand this. How does the war justify you stealing other people's work?
