Should Bush be removed from office for election robbery?
Fresh off the presses, a 4 page expose, remarkably detailed and researched from Rolling Stone finding that 350,000 votes in Ohio alone (the swing state last election) were fraudulently stolen from Kerry allowing Bush to win.
My god, Blackwell basically signs his own confession to committing massive voter fraud. Bottom of "page 3".

And NO, I will not let the very cornerstone of our society go. When you kiss away your right to vote with a sleepy dismissal, you just gave away your right to be an American and to call yourself a patriotic citizen.

He should be impeached for everything that he has done. He stole both elections. That is fact, not conspiracy. You are 100% right! This Bush administration is an evil regime that needs to brought to justice! I don't how these repubs can defend this guy! What happened to democracy? Enron helped to steal the first election and Jeb played a part in both. But the real dirty money came from Haliburton. Thanks to Rollingstone for printing that article and to you for posting this Q.
I voted Kerry, but I am a fair-minded person, and so here's my take:
-The people who received late ballots in Ohio weren't all Democrats. For all we know, most of them (likely military) may have voted for George W. Bush.
-Votes that are thrown out because of malfunctioning equipment or because they are cast erroneously should never be counted in the first place (check out the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment). Also, there is no inherent link between faulty, thrown-out votes and being a Democrat or Republican. Again, for all we know the votes were Republican. Why are all erroneous or thrown-out votes Democrat in the first place? And you can apply this logic to Kerry blue states as well. For all we know, Republican votes were thrown out in many large metropolitan areas. Why not do an analysis of those votes- if you are so fair-minded?
-What you fail to mention is that in a number of Kerry states, the vote was much closer than in Ohio (including states like Michigan and Pennsylvania). Using the same Ohio logic (i.e. that a close vote necessitates a recount) we should have recounted Kerry's wins in the Great Lakes states and Pennsylvania- which accounted for many more electoral votes than Ohio. Why is it that Democrats tend to think that a narrow margin is only "invalid" when the Republican wins but not when the Democrat wins? Maybe Kerry shouldn't have won Pennsylvania or Michigan or Wisconsin.
-Historically, there have always been irregularities in elections. The late Mayor Daley of Chicago is believed to have thrown out thousands of Chicago, Illinois votes during the 1960 election. In the case of Daley's fraud, the documentaive proof was substantial. Kennedy likely won, in large measure, owing to Daley's shenanigans. How ironic that a Kennedy is writing this article.
Before you jump into the "Bush stole the election" bandwagon, try to look at all of the facts. Try to look at the fact that votes that are thrown out or never counted don't line up neatly along political lines. And if some Republicans did throw out votes, then that should be investigated. But if you do investigate Republican fraud, the certainly you should investigate Democrat fraud, especially in states that ended up going to Kerry with much narrower margins than Ohio.
Among other things, let's make a list, 1-Lying to take America to War in Iraq 2-Continuing to lie about the war in Iraq 3-War Crimes 4-Dereliction of Duty 5-Treachery 6-Illegal Wiretapping 7-Cavorting with the Enemy Vicente 8-Giving his brain to Karl Rove 9-Trying to be a Cowboy instead of the President 10- 11- 12- 13- 14- 15- 16- 17- 18- 19- 20- All the above and the crimes we don't know about YET! DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD?
What a crock. The DNC report on Ohio is directly contradictory to the claims of accuracy on the exit polls. The voting followed the same pattern as the mid-term election, per the DNC report.
The voter registry issues in Ohio were, as usual, found in Democrat voting areas, with Democrat directors of elections. Typical Democrat incompetence.
The facts do not support the spittle-flecked conclusion.
Well me personally I am an independant and if this is true then a formal investigation needs to be conducted. But I agree with Eli2359 with his answer it is Rolling Stone. And I really didnt see any evidence or proof, just someone saying what happened....how about pictures, interviews and such
