| normally i would immediately discount this thread as a conspiracy theory, but now nothing suprises me anymore - especially considering the 2001 elections :nervous: - so it's best to keep an open mind ;) |

Good to see the conspiracy is alive and well. Hell, with this crucial information, it's impossible to understand how Bush 41 was handed such a sound defeat in 1992, or how Clinton won a 2nd term so convincingly.:rolleyes:
Go stick your head back in the sand. I'll let you know when it's all clear... |

There is no two party system.
Just different shift managers at the same slaughterhouse.
For anyone to think otherwise would be diluting themselves.
I wonder what would happen if NO ONE voted.... |

Just like the conspiracy theory that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. And as with any conspiracy theory there are the nuts. The nuts that swore he had them WMD's stashed somewhere.
But here we are, 2000+ in country deaths of GI's over a conspiracy theory.
And they call us nuts. |

| A 107 page paper was recently released that concluded that the election may have been tipped by illegal electonic papertrail-less voting machines. |
