"Only one Republican electoral member had threatened not to vote for Mr. Bush. Richie Robb, a Republican elector from West Virginia, said he thinks Mr. Bush invaded Iraq prematurely and disagrees with the Bush economic policy.
But yesterday, Mr. Robb joined the rest of his state's Republican electors and cast his vote for Mr. Bush, noting that "his margin of victory in West Virginia was decisive to the extent that to do otherwise would have been slapping the voters in the face." "

5. translates into "they threatened my life" you guys heard about Gary Webb?

Gary Webb just wrote some very unflattering stuff entitiled "The Emporer has no clothes" and he was in the process of writing an expose on the military...he suddenly "shot himself" yesterday, but he died of multiple gunshot wounds. They would like us to belive he shot himself several times. Like, maybe he missed first time. Or else, they don't care what we believe because they are shortly going to stop pretending.

9. He didn't "suddenly shoot himself"

He was going through a painful divorce.
