with all due respect, but "And dear God, Democrats are still talking about 2000! INCREDIBLE." has got to be one of the most stupid things I have heard in al long time...
What is your point??
It seems to me that when the honesty of the 2004 election is being discussed, it is 100% relevant to take the manipulatons of the previous election with THE SAME votingmachines in to considderation.
And these happened to be in 2000, and no attempt by you to make that sound like too long ago to matter can make that less of a fact.
Oh, and you ask "Republicans are more likely to rig an election?"...
Euhrm...well, maybe because the manufacturers of all these votingmachines are Republicans?
Or because it's at least suspicious that they don't want to reveal their source code (doesn't EVERYBODY agree that software and hardware for a VOTING machine should ALLWAYS be completely open and clear for everybody to check if it's working without flaws or corruption???).
Or maybe just simply because they've done it before (and before, and before...)?
I am not from the USA, but even I am ashamed by one of the most corrupt people on earth being the president of such a big 'democratic' country.
Guess we can't really blame him though, because being an offspring of such a corrupt family I'm affraid he just doesn't know any better...
The N9 has arrived. What we can say from our first experience is that we're in the presence of a fantastically designed device with a gorgeous AMOLED screen and some highly responsive performance.
