15. President Kerry should have addressed this
Sat May 6, 2017, 11:07 AM
May 2017

2000 was an election stolen by the Supremes. But 2004 was the dirtiest in memory, and even our gutless, ball-less media said some very, admittedly timid, things about how the exit polls (that had always in the past been accurate indicators of the winners, and that showed Kerry winning by significantly large margins in Ohio and other States he lost) were strangely off the mark in that election.

No effort was made -- or no vigorous effort, in any case -- in 2004 to stop Diebold's machines from being used, despite numerous serious questions about their vulnerability to hacking. Few questions were asked. The cheating was swept under the rug of GOP corruption.

And the result was 4 more years for President Cheney to kill arabs and rake in billions for his old company, Halliburton. (Of course, had Kerry been permitted to win, he would have presided over the collapse of the economy and would have had to deal with the scandal arising from John Edwards adultery. Whether he would have won a second term in 2008 would not have been a certainty, by any means; and that could well have meant President McCain and Vice President Hockeymom. But, that said, it would still have been worth it if it meant honest results and an election system untarnished by traitors in Ohio and other States.)
