Saw this on
bartcop. I did a search befor I posted and didn't find anything, I apologize if it has already been noted by someone else.
I wonder if anyone could verify this? I really didn't pay attention to asscroft's resignation, but if he did write it on Nov 2 I find it rather interesting. I suppose that asscroft could make up any stupid shit-ass excuse he wanted, but any way I find it rather interesting.
Anyway a reader at Bartcop asked a rather interesting question"
"Bart,
There is still one thing bothering me about Ashcroft's resignation.
Yes, I know all the standard stuff, he claims the goal of pacifying the nation is complete,
we're all secure, but he hand-wrote the resignation letter to ensure security.
But Ashcroft wrote his resignation letter on November 2, while people were still voting.
How did he know Bush would be reelected?"
As I wrote above I didn't really pay attention to the circumstances surrounding asscroft's resignation letter. But, assuming this person is correct, isn't it rather interesting asscroft did this on Nov 2? How did he know?
I keep going back to the exit polls, and I still haven't found a reasonable explanation for the discrepency. Christ, when third world nations have elections and election monitors want to see if any ballot shananigans(sp?) are going on they use exit polls. How could all six exit polls in the swing states have been wrong? It boggles the mind.
Finally, I rarely post a diary entry on this site. Mainly because there are so many that I find it hard to post any original material, but that 300 character really annoying, I see a lot of diary posts on this site that I know don't have 300 characters in them, what's up with that? Is this limit id dependant?
