I dont understand the "swing-people", as if you havent voted for Bush in 2000, why the hell would you give him your vote now? He was horrible. That's the part I dont understand. It's the "Why?" not the "How?" actually. And calling me not smart for posting up true shit although you might already know it isnt very thoughtful either homie.. it might be obvious to you, but youre not the only one on this board..

You fuckin' retard. It doesn't necessarily mean that people who voted for Nader in 2000, now voted for Bush... which is the reason for me showing you those other factors.... I made the mistake of saying "even you should understand this" knowing how slow in the head you are
In addition, just like you said "it might be obvious to ME, but not to everyone on the board"... you have to realize that there are people who don't have the same ideals as you, and that (obviously) there are people who agree with Bush and his actions...
Don Seer:
one thing.. you have to realise that **more people turned out to vote this time**.. and it looks like those people voted bush or kerry, not nader.
so even if everyone that voted for nader last time did the same again.. he has a lower percentage because everyone else voted bush or kerry.

I tried Seer, I really tried... he just doesn't understand...
--- Quote from: *Jamal* on November 03, 2004, 02:10:13 AM ---but you have to remember that there are newly registered voters... people who didn't vote last election, including those who have turned 18 since...
Also, just like there are "swing-states", there are "swing-voters"... individuals who don't vote for a certain party all the time...
More people voted for Bush... it's that simple... I know you're not very bright, but even you should understand this

Fact: Fewer ppl voted for Nader this time. Not only percentage-wise. The higher voter turnout might affect it a bit, but that's definitely not the whole story.
I do realize there are people who agree with Bush's actions, so what? I didnt say "weird that all those farmers voted for bush???" ..
This Thread actually makes sense. Ok let's not say Bush did a horrible job, although he did. Let's say he did a very republican job. Then why god why do ppl who voted for Gore now vote for Bush for instance. Even that is weird. Not to speak of people who voted for Nader 2000 and now for Bush. And about the people who didnt vote in 2000.. I expected the higher voter turnout to be good for Kerry, since I thought more people would be pissed off by Bush's policies and now vote against him, not the opposite.
That is why what happened doesnt make much sense to me.. and why I made this thread.
