Bush. It was the closest election in US history and the supremes were so ashamed of their ruling that they refused to sign it and that ruling has not once been cited as the basis for a single decision since then.

John Kerry won in '04 with the popular vote but he could not overcome the Diebold voting machines rigged against him and Kerry conceded, despite being urged not to by John Edwards.

A strikingly familiar occurrence in both elections, the democrats refused to challenge either decision and instead remained silent. And since the theft of both elections the democrats have done NOTHING to ensure the integrity of voting and in '12 millions of minority voters will be prevented from voting.

So, yes there are many similarities between the D's and R's, especially when it comes to voting and counting the votes.
