24. ME TOOOOOOOOO! I'm so tired of being told that all of the votes are never counted in any election

. . . Where is the media - serious media - 2000 was beyond election fraud - it was theft and the media giants did nothing! Tom Brokaw is busy writing about WWII - when election theft and a march to war happens without a critical press looking into anything! I would have thought a very enterprising journalist could have made a name for himself had he or she been able to document the theft - I am convinced that Rove has done it twice (2000 & 2004) planned to do it again in 2012 - but the gap was too wide and the Obama campaign and the justice department was on to him. It is beyond belief that Rove &. Co. Is accepted into circles of power. - there have to be people that know what he did - they lie they cheat and they steal and the mainstream media do nothing!
