There was no rigging done, nor anything to imply that there was. It was a close race and everyone knew that's how it was going to be from polls. Also,
Bush won both the popular vote and the electoral college vote, altering the facts doesn't make it very easy to align with you.
cherrypie, you seem to be one of the ones who should be saying the least about the matter, yet all I see from you is Bush-bashing. You don't like him, and I think most of us have gotten that picture by now. Also, if your country feels so strongly against stuff going on in the U.S., don't deal with us!
James... about the U.S. having a long history of prejudice, we are the ones who broke past most forms of institutionalized prejudice in the Western world, paving a way for others. You are absolutely right about redistricting; it should be illegal.
Dragon, I know it's none of my business, but I'd just like to say I don't like how religion played into this vote. Even though we all know that Church and State are really not separate in practice, I feel it should at least be in the background. I noticed a lot of Bush supporters liked Bush because of religious affiliation and not necessarily because of policy. It's not clear to me how that makes for good governing.
Overall, I think Aemon's right. If we are helping someone choose between an X800XT and a 6800 Ultra, we should be talking about Z-Buffer compression and vertex shader pipelines, not Bush/Kerry bashing.
One last thing. STOP BUGGING ME ABOUT WHO I VOTED FOR! All Bush fans think they have me figured out and tell me they can't believe I voted for Kerry, and all Kerry fans are certain that I filled out about 5 ballots voting for Bush. I'm not telling anyone who I voted for because I feel that we are generally too open with who we are going to vote for and who we voted for, because that leads to other voting problems, such as redistricting (I know that's supposed to actually be just based on political party status, but you get the point).
