If "Americans love this guy" then why do so many of them "think the election was rigged"??? That's what doesn't make sense.

American polictics is controled. The polls are false. they show them on television so people can believe that bush has 50% of support. But the reality bush could only have 25% of support, then rig the elections adding 28% more votes for bush and he win's.
Since everyone really believes that elections can't be rigged in america. This just makes it easier to do, because nobody will ever expect it in a nation like america.
Just exactly what are u basing your assumption on??....They rigged the election???...HOW??....

Exactly. There's no way in hell Bush could've won that election (fairly). Just no way. The numbers don't add up. Besides that, we all saw the HUGE numbers of people who turned out. The majority of newly registered voters were going for Kerry. Their numbers just vanished - according to the rigged machines.

Well, soon after that wonderful election day ( ), that little bald guy on CNN (a typical liberal news organization) talked about the statistics of the election. Mind you, he is presumably a Kerry supporting liberal. He said that in the 2000 election, about 17% of the voters were, I forget the exact age range, but is was something like under 25 years of age. And this year, after all the hype and free "get out the vote" and "vote or die" concerts and promotions specifically targeted to the young voters...guess what percentage of voters there were from that same age group?
Times up...... 17%!
He even said, "I guess those young people just wanted free concerts and tee shirts but didn't care enough to actually go vote."
I thought that was hilarious!

Everywhere the Diebold machines were used, Bush got an extra +5% of the vote, through the miracle of modern technology, and the cooperation of Diebold.
Where the Diebold machines were NOT used, the votes matched the exit polls....whether for Kerry or Bush.
Where the Diebold machines WERE used, the votes were +5% for Bush when compared to the exit polls.

The young, newly registered didn't show up to vote. This is not unusual; the youth vote is typically unreliable.

If you go by Circle, they did show up and vote

Researchers at the Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning & Engagement at the University of Maryland found that 18- to 29-year-old turnout was up by 4.6 million voters from exit poll data from the 2000 election.

That number goes up only if you include 25-29 yr olds it should be 19-24 those are youth voters and the numbers didnt go up at all in that age braket. But you tack on 25-29 and yes the numbers went up.
25-29 are not really youth or new voters though
The state of Maryland voted entirely on electronic voting machines. Kerry won Maryland by 13%.
