Biggest Election Fraud In The History Of The Universe:
"Republicans prevented more than 350,000 voters in Ohio from casting ballots or having their votes counted -- enough to have put John Kerry in the White House ... Nearly half of the 6 million American voters living abroad never received their ballots ... after the Pentagon unaccountably shut down a state-of-the-art Web site used to file overseas registrations ... A consulting firm called Sproul & Associates ... was discovered shredding Democratic registrations ... In New Mexico, which was decided by 5,988 votes malfunctioning machines mysteriously failed to properly register a presidential vote on more than 20,000 ballots ... Nationwide ... as many as 1 million ballots were spoiled by faulty voting equipment -- roughly one for every 100 cast."

Worst President In The History Of The Universe:
"... George W. Bush to the top of the list when American voters pick the worst U.S. President in the last 61 years. Bush is named by 34 percent of voters, followed by Richard Nixon at 17 percent ... American voters disapprove 58 - 35 percent of the job Bush is doing, compared to 58 - 36 percent in a March 2 survey. Even voters in red states, where Bush's margin was more than 5 percent in 2004, disapprove 52 - 39 percent ... American voters say 56 - 39 percent that going to war in Iraq was the wrong thing to do."

More Subpoenas For Republican Leaders:
"Sounds like it's subpoena time for House Appropriations Committee Chairman Jerry Lewis (R-CA) ... San Bernardino County, Calif., has been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury for records connected to House Appropriations Committee Chairman Jerry Lewis and a lobbying firm with strong ties to Lewis, a county official said..."

Bush & GOP Response To Deficits, Social Security Shortfall: Give Millions To Super-Rich:
"... the Senate is getting ready to repeal the estate tax yet again, having abandoned last year's attempt because even to Republicans it seemed kind of crass in the wake of Hurricane Katrina ...  A more modest reform that exempted estates under $3.5 million and capped the top rate at 45% ... is still unacceptable to the barons of the Republican Party, who want to repeal the tax altogether and are being amply rewarded for their fealty to the wealthiest families in America ... repealing the estate tax entirely would cost nearly $1 trillion over ten years."

Lies, Damn Lies, And Anything Bush & Republican Leaders Say:
"We were told by the president that the Iraq war was the critical battle in the war on terror, an effort of enormous stakes that we couldn't possibly lose. And then he went to war with half the troops necessary to win, with no plan for the aftermath, and refused to budge even when this became obvious to anyone with eyes and a brain ... But it's not just the Iraq war and it's not just Bush. It's the entire Republican leadership. For example, they claim to be worried about nuclear terrorism ... They claim to be concerned about the future financial impact of Social Security deficits ... They claim that democracy promotion is the cornerstone of their foreign policy ... They just say these things because they're convenient.  It's this simple: these guys say a lot of stuff they don't believe. Their words are largely meaningless."

Hate To Say He Told You So, But ...
"In its September 2004 issue, Washington Monthly magazine invited 16 smart political observers -- a mix of Republicans, Democrats and independents -- to write short essays predicting what would happen if George Bush won a second term ... The one commentator who got it exactly right was Kevin Drum, who runs the magazine's blog. "What do we have to look forward to if George W. Bush is elected to a second term?" he asked. 'One word: scandal.'"
