George W. Bush is the only President in United States history to serve two successive terms in office despite the fact that he never actually won the Presidential election.
In 2000, Al Gore won the popular vote and won enough electoral votes to become the President-elect; nevertheless, thanks to the Supreme Court's decision to impede the recount effort in Florida, in January, 2001, George Bush marched on top of the White House lawn, into the Oval Office.
Presently, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has revealed in the latest issue of Rolling Stone that the 2004 election may very well have been stolen. According to Rolling Stone, nearly 3 million Americans living abroad never received their ballots-or received them too late to vote-once the Pentagon decided to enigmatically shut down a website used to file overseas registrations. Sproul & Associates, hired by the RNC to register voters in six battleground states, was discovered shredding Democratic registrations. In New Mexico, 20,000 votes were lost because of malfunctioning machines (the state was decided by only 5,988 votes). According to the federal commission charged with employing election modifications, 1 million ballots may have been spoiled athwart the nation because of flawed machines.
The reports in my home state of Ohio were mind-bogglingly distressing. 174,000 registered voters were unable to vote because of elongated lines (all in urban areas where there is a high fraction of democratic voters)-which ultimately was the product of poor machinery allocation in these vastly populated areas. Additionally, 66,000 ballots were deemed invalid by faulty voting machines, 5,000 were turned away by GOP challengers, 10,000 ballots were discarded because people stood in the wrong line, 72,000 people were disenfranchised by avoidable registration errors, and 30,000 ballots were purged from voter rolls for failing to vote in two previous elections. And I might append, these 357,000 voters were proportionally democratic. Moreover, the election in Ohio was decided by only 118,601 votes.
Furthermore, a precinct in an evangelical church in Miami County recorded a record high turnout of 98%. On the contrary, a polling place in inner-city Cleveland recorded a record low turnout of 7%. In Warren County, GOP election officials invented a fictional terrorist threat to bar the media from monitoring the official vote count. Most appallingly, one in every four Ohio citizens who were registered to vote in 2004 showed up at the polls to discover that they were not listed on the rolls, thanks to GOP efforts to curtail the unparalleled flood of Democrats fervently ready to cast ballots. This doesn't even account for the troubling evidence that indicates 80,000 votes for John Kerry were actually tallied in favor of George W. Bush. That is a difference of 160,000 votes, what's more, ultimately vacillating the election Imperial George's way.
Secretary of State, Kenneth J. Blackwell (who was a co-chairman on W's reelection committee), in addition, assembled techniques that prevented minorities, within democratic neighborhoods, from voting-such as, telling them the wrong place to vote, preventing anyone with a felon's last name from voting, et cetera.
Not only is George W. Bush the worst, most illusory President of all time, he's the only President to have served a second term devoid of ever truly being elected!
