Things that never happened - before Dubya

[sepia_steel]

Can you guys help me complile a list? I think it would be pretty compelling for non-believers.

I'm talking about things such as:

1 Winning with under 50% approval ratings

2 Already being below %50 approval less than a month after the election

3 Exit polls being dead wrong or even a little wrong


Feel free to throw in ties to NeoCons that were slighty before Dubya, such as partisan vote technology owners.

Get as specific as you like, but I'm looking for things to list to people who won't read a ton of paragraphs so keep that in mind.

It doesn't all have to be election-related, but the more the better.

There is no fucking way this moron won this election.

1. press conferences where the reporters don't ask one good question

and don't REAL demand answers

[Mist]

2. Black box voting with no paper trail

So many "glitches" with optical scanners, all "oddly" in *'s favor.

[SariesNightly]

3. Debt Mountain

Couple of billion a day in a stupid war that's stuck in limbo

[Nay]

4. Winning an election after demonstrably losing every debate before

the election.

5. Biggest single mass murder in history,

and for the first time ever, not just one but three successful attacks on the homeland using high-jacked jets, one on the Pentagon building!

Total collapse of three skyscrapers, only two of which were actually hit by aircraft.

And about 1000 other one-time only events on the same day, many as yet unexplained or investigated. And after three years no-one has been held accountable for the most horrific military intelligence failure in the history of the world.

Two unprovoked illegal and immoral human bloodbaths disguised as 'wars on terror' in response to the above attacks.

Near total MSM complicity in the cover-up and/or dissemination of official government lies regarding the above.

6. An entire campaign with bused audience, loyalty oaths, hundreds vs

tens of thousands for the other guy who...lost.
Undecideds (and many others) breaking for the incumbent
All differences between exit polls/results benefitting one side only
Voting lines - 4-10 hours long - producing less votes for our guy than in 2000 - without the lines (Ohio, Florida)
High turnout benefitting the GOP

7. Burger flippers

Become part of the "Manufacturing" sector.

8. surpluses wiped out in record time and replaced by record deficits

[HughBeaumont]

9. Not one net new job created

coming out of just a recession, not a depression.

10. cheating during debates and having it go unaddressed

Everyone knows Bush was wearing some kind of device, despite the denials from his camp.
Can you imagine the hue and cry if Clinton were photographed wearing some kind of unexplained listening device, and if he stood there, looking dumbstruck, while answers were fed to him?

Instead, we got ridiculous "explanations" and no commentary from the Beltway whores.

11. The use of Executive Order as Imperial Fiat

To get around what the legislature won't pass.

Example: Faith-Based Funding, funding the Office of Strategic Initiatives and the more Soviet aspects of the Citizen Corps.

[Aristus]

12. "Clear Skies" through unchecked, unregulated corporate

pollution.
