Ok let's break this out. Kennedy says Republicans prevented 357,000 voters from voting or having their votes counted.

He estimates 174,000 were not able to vote due to long lines. No. 174,000 (a highly inflated number to be sure) potential voters did not vote. End of story. If voters did not wait in line to vote or vote by mail, that's their fault.

72,000 not registered to vote due to registration errors. Again, the reponsibility falls on the voter to confirm they are correctly registered.

30,000 voters purged for not voting in previous elections. If you have not voted in more than two elections, you should verify yourself you are registered to vote.

10,000 voters discarded for standing in the wrong line. Too stupid to be allowed to vote.

5,000 turned away by GOP challengers. If they were turned away, they were not registered or valid voters.

So out of that big dramatic and inflated 357,000 potential voters that leaves 66,000 votes 'lost by 'faulty' voting machines. Even if I was generous and assumed there were some problems with voting machines, I would be the majority of this was due to idiot voters.

Kennedy says 357,000 votes

wondering how the exit polls, which predicted an overwhelming victory for John Kerry, had gotten it so wrong.

Wishful thinking and reality often don't match. Cope.

[Bryan24]

Possession is 9/10ths of the law.

[Disturbin]

"I spent the evening of the 2004 election watching the returns on television and wondering how the exit polls, which predicted an overwhelming victory for John Kerry, had gotten it so wrong"

I see, so the networks F up and call it for Kerry, prematurely. They are wrong, therefore Bush stole the election. On what planet are we living?

[RobRoy]

The news "blackout" was probably brought on by the MSM not wanting their exit polling methods to come under too much scrutiny.

Just a thought.

[jackieaxe]

So Kerry won before he lost? Heh! Consistency.

[Doogle]

....my guess is Michael "moose face" Moore is working for Rolling Stone. Oh!!..yeah yo Moose Face better get the shekels up for the law suit.......

Great!!! PLEASE RFK jr, PLEASE follow this lunatic thinking!

It does nothing except show how out of touch the Democrats have become...

[DTogo]

Were Federal and State approvals for the CAPE WIND PROJECT stolen by RFK Jr. and Uncle Ted??

[The Electrician]

First the NY Times (who wouldn't touch the Swift Boat Veterans story until it had gained unstoppable traction, and then only to dishonestly try to debunk it without seriously pursuing the evidence that shows they were right) resurrects the anti-Swift Boat Veterans attack. Now RFK Jr. resurrects the 'we wuz robbed in Ohio' mantra.

What will be the next dropped shoe? Maybe some foreign leaders will mysteriously remember clandestine meetings that they had with Kerry, offering their support? Maybe the Beacon Hill fire hydrant will mysteriously reappear in its original position? Maybe the tanning lotion and Botox producers will revise their formulas to make them less noticeable? Maybe his daughter will start wearing a bra? Maybe he'll get his hunting license by mail this time?

Coincidences are strange, aren't they?

the 6 million American voters living abroad

What kind of BS is this? (I assume Kennedy isn't counting the military in this number). Americans "living abroad" shouldn't be voting here. They've abandoned the country, so why should they have a say in how it's governed? Jerks.

[isthisnickcool]

It's common knowledge that Bush and Rove used the flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz to pick up Democrat voters and take them far away from the polling place.

[Signalman]

Does anyone doubt that should the GOP win again in 2008, the Democrats will claim that the election was stolen?

I mean, c'mon, there seems to be a pattern developing here.

[DBrow]

Why the focus on one state? They announced MONTHS before voting day that "Florida was the key state last time; Ohio will be the key state this time" and it was, and is, and still is. Odd.

Why not focus on six other states Kerry lost? Or won, for that matter.

[kublia khan]

We are soooooooooo sorry Mr. Kennedy. We were only trying to counter the Chicago graveyard vote that elected your uncle. While on the subject it is true that Dan Quayle was not the sharpest knife in the drawer but when Bentsen insulted him by telling him he was "no Jack Kennedy"; he should have replied "Mr. Senator that is the nicest thing you could have possibly said to me". In conclusion Dear Robert shove it up your wretched globally warmed pompous backside.

[avacado]

Just more dribble from chimpanzee spanking victims!

[RJL]

I tuned in late to the 2004 elections and didn't hear the dire exit poll predictions, but the first thing I did see was that all of the 12(?) gay rights votes were going badly for the gay supporters.

As soon as I saw that, I knew it was going to go well for Republicans. If the Democrats had truly won the elections, they would have won the gay rights votes as well. The Democrats lost both fair and square.

[stylin_geek]

Ah yes, that paragon of journalistic integrity, "Rolling Stone." If I'm not mistaken, this is the same magazine that artfully touched up Gore's trousers in the zipper area.

[HitmanLV]

If most of these voters are democrat voters, and every allegation is true,. all it shows is that more democrat voters can't follow simple directions, or have the patience to wait on a line.

[msg-84]

Sound like at least one Dim is preparing an excuse for their upcoming losses in 06.

[xp38]

Can we steal the 2006 and 2008 elections too?
