Homer: Not a bear in sight. The "Bear Patrol" is working like a charm!
Lisa: That's specious reasoning, Dad.
Homer: [uncomprehendingly] Thanks, honey.
Lisa: By your logic, I could claim that this rock keeps tigers away.
Homer: Hmm. How does it work?
Lisa: It doesn't work. (pause) It's just a stupid rock!
Homer: Uh-huh.
Lisa: But I don't see any tigers around, do you?
Homer: (pause) Lisa, I want to buy your rock.The world brain at work again. :)

The fact is that the US hasn't been hit again after 9/11 and that is not an accident.
Lisa Simpson: "I've got a rock in my pocket that protects me against tigers."
Homer Simpson: "How do I know it works?"
Lisa: "Do you see any tigers around?"
Homer: "Lisa, I want to buy your rock."

Over here it is the left that does vote fraud, you wont get that from sites like Salon.com and CNN which are solidly left media outlets. Be very skeptical of the US MSM, there is no doubt which way they lean.
Just one example for you: The FBI has an investigation of a left group called ACORN in Missouri for 35,000 fradulent voter registrations. 35,000!! That is a lot of fraud. Also apparently there are 10,500 dead people registered to vote in Missouri as well, and I would happily bet which way they will "vote".
I will try and find a blog with a consolidated list of dodgy Dem tactics andf post it on this site. It doesn't make pretty reading.
When the bush-bots start dragging out the myth of the "liberal media", you know they're desperate. :)

"Would that be the same bush that allowed the 9/11 terrorist attacks to occur?"
I see loony tunes exists in NZ as well as San Fran. Do you seriously think that any American would have allowed the 9/11 attacks to occur? I mean seriously?! To describe such views as "silly", is an insult to "silly'.
I won't rehearse the arguments here (Alistair has already kindly done so, cheers mate!), but I do indeed believe this. However, I don't take it as an article of faith; I suspect you'd find it hard to believe that I didn't _want_ to believe that the president and his cronies allowed these events to occur. But the evidence suggests that they did. I find it interesting that you have only ad-hominem arguments to offer as rebuttal.
Would evil men lie to hold on to enormous power and wealth? Would they betray their country for the same reason? I'd have to say the evidence points to a "yes" answer to both of these questions.

When one party controls the White House and the other controls one or both Houses of Congress, it is described as gridlock. Not too much can get done, which means not too much will change. Not what a lot of Kiwis will want to hear, but not many Kiwis appreciate what a bunch of twats the current crop of Dems is. Al Gore, John Kerry, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid. What a bunch of imbeciles. And yes, much, much worse that Bush.
Would that be the same bush that allowed the 9/11 terrorist attacks to occur?
I'm glad you don't get to vote.

Let the Democrats die a natural and well deserved death while the Republicans run the country into the ground. Maybe a decent political system will rise from the ashes. It's better than acting as co-enablers to a cabal of religious idiots.
An interesting theory, and perhaps workable if it weren't so dangerous. The religious nutcases behind the current party in power would like nothing more than to see the Rapture taking place right now, and bush doesn't seem to be disappointing them in that regard.

A view from an American living here in NZ... (I vote absentee in Virginia, where I last lived in the US)...
I must object somewhat to the notion that the American people have failed to repudiate the gang of thugs currently running things over there. It's pretty well accepted (in some circles, but not in the corporate media for the most part) that the results of the presidential elections in 2000 and 2004 subverted the will of the people; the first via shenanigans in Florida (and the resultant interference by the Supreme Court), and the second via large scale election fraud, particularly in Ohio. There is also evidence of election fraud in the 2002 mid-term elections. And according to Greg Palast and others, the fix is in once again:

I've bet my kiwi brother-in-law Brett $5 that the election will be fixed and the thug/pervert party will retain control of both houses. I'd be very happy to lose that money, but I'm afraid it's a bet I'm likely to win.
