#1 Lefty liberal rag. Worth going to just to vote for Bush in their presidential poll. They have Kerry leading 83 to 16, so what does that tell you.

#2 I'm not sure what Karl Rove had to do with the story. Just another Boogeyman for the Left.

I did vote in their poll. I guess 83% of that site's readership is heavily into wishful thinking.

#3 I voted too! I love the way the left always talks about Rove as if he is doing something illegal. Why is it that ONLY the left comes up with the many conspiracy theories? Come on guys/gals lets brew a couple of theories up for our side. How about John F. Kerry has a young male lover that lives in DC? Or how about Kerry has made a secret deal to give back the SouthWest to Mexico? Or Kerry plans to allow the U.S. to be tried in the World Court? Or Kerry secretly holds onto a French passport so he can run for President of that country too? I am just spitballing here, jump in anytime!

#4 Sarge, the problem is that Kerry is beyond satire .... the reality is weird enough! LOL

#5 The only problem Sarge is that the "Kerry plans to allow the U.S. to be tried in the World Court" conspiracy isn't a conspiracy at all. It's a fact.

#6 I heard something about the original October surprise today on the radio that I had never heard before. The original conspiracy story was that George HW Bush had travelled alone in a one-seated U2 spycraft for discussions in Tehran. I'm glad Congress investigated that story. Which sub-committees are assigned crop circles and bigfoot?

#7 The original conspiracy story was that George HW Bush had travelled alone in a one-seated U2 spycraft for discussions in Tehran.

And after they used the canopener to get him out in Teheran, how did he get back???? LOL

Idiots. While GHWB had been a Navy pilot (and a good one), the U2 guys are a special breed qnd it's not an aircraft you just jump into and learn to fly in an hour or two .... Met a few of U2ers once ...

#8 I've heard the story too, except it was an SR-71 in my version.

#9 Cyber Sarge,my secret sources have revealed the full extent of the "Kerry Conspiracy".In Feb.,Kerry went in for prostate cancer surgery.While it was reported operation was completely successful,the truth is the cancer had spread so far,Kerry was given just a few months to live.Theresa didn't want to look for another single Senator.She contacted George Lucas and paid ILM to build her a Kerry Robot.The real John Kerry was exiled to an island Theresa bought in the S.Pacific where a group of native nurses take care of him.Lucas agreed because he plans to replace all his actors w/robots and the K-bot gives him a field test.Theresa is continuing the K-bots' run for President because she is a big fan of MTV's PUNK'D.No one else knows because who can tell the diff?

#14 "you are limited to one vote per day"

So I'm not suggesting that you go back tomorrow to vote again. Why, that might be dishonest!
