WE WON'T BE FOOLED AGAIN

The media is pulling out all the stops to discourage Republicans from voting. This isn't new. In the 2000 election returns the media called Florida for Gore before the polls closed in the very Republican panhandle of the state (costing Bush from 5,000 to 15,000 votes in Florida according to John McLaughlin). They managed to dampen Republican voter turn out nationwide by convincing many Republicans that the election was over and Bush could not win. This cost Bush the popular vote and made way for Gores attempt to steal the election with his three most liberal county"recount".

Then in 2004 they stacked the exit polls by steering Democrats to the voting booths at the times they knew pollsters would be present. Technically, they couldn't legally release the early exit poll results so they leaked them on the Internet. The word was that Kerry was winning in a landslide. Most didn't hear about it and voted. Those of us who did hear about it threw up, voted and went home to await the real results with fingers crossed that the exit polls would be wrong. We won with a large enough margin to avoid another attempt to steal the election.

DO NOT LET THEM FAKE YOU OUT!
