Overwhelming evidence of Republican election stealing, 2004
I'm neither a conspiracy theorist nor (normally) a very political person, but the newly-published (and meticulously researched) article in Rolling Stone magazine makes my blood boil.

The worst part is that nobody did anything, the media largely ignored it, and we're set for much of the same thing to happen in 2008 (and 2006.)
I would like to suggest that we, as a community of webmasters who are significantly impacted by the actions of our loser Republican neo-Nazis, might want to actively try to spread the word about this outrage. I would like to believe that if enough people read and understand what is happening, that they will force action to bring about change.
Webmaster Owners and Fixing Elections
Here is another example of how this is pure hysteria.
You guys who run pay websites know that it takes a lot of knowledge about your industry to set your prices. And you never can have perfect knowledge of everybody's prices. And you cannot predict the future - what will porn sites be charging next month? What is your competitor charging? How low will they go?
So, let's say you are the Bush/Cheney Election campaign. Where do you get your knowledge about future actions? It would take a lot of amazing knowledge to orchestrate the specific states and counties that would determine the desired outcome.
Are you saying that Republicans knew they would lose Ohio, so their officers took steps beforehand to alter the outcome?
If they knew they would lose Ohio, did they know they would lose Wisconsin? The GOP spent a huge chunk of money in Wisconsin, and sent Bush there a million times. He still lost. Why wasn't the Republican governor of Wisconsin fixing the votes like the Ohio Republicans allegedly were doing? Why even bother, if they knew the outcome?
Fixing a Presidential election would require an impossible amount of knowledge regarding voter actions.
Oh but wait, I can't disprove any of this because its a conspiracy theory.
Maybe these fantastically gifted Republican operatives who have perfect knowledge on outcomes should go spend next year waving their magic wands at Dell and Intel's stock prices. It looks so easy.....
