Susan Sarandon Thinks President Bush is a Crook
Susan Sarandon wants the next US presidential elections to be monitored by outside interests. The actress thinks that the 2004 vote was so fraudulent that we need international oversight, just like troubled third-world countries. She told Brazilian newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo:
“I believe our next election should be monitored by international entities, just like it happened in Haiti and Iraq. The last one was an embarrassment. Everybody knew there was fraud, but nothing was done about it. In some states there were more votes than people able to vote.”
Well, I think the whole planet should be monitored by me. I would end war and violence on Earth. Now you know what you got to do: vote for me or I’ll cut your head off. Arrr!

She’s correct. We have a serious problem with voter fraud in Pennsylvania; Philadelphia in particular. There are philly precints where there is 130% voter turnout per election, giving Democrat candidates a 300,000 - 500,000 vote margin coming out of Philadelphia on election day.
Susan should have a converation with our own Gov. Ed Rendell, former DNC Chairman, who just vetoed a voter election bill that would have cut down on voter fraud and tighened security on Election Day.

Philly, I agree in some respects in that we need tighter control of elections, but clearly it’s favoring the Republicans according to all published reports.
Diebold runs a major scam. Most exit polls had Kerry winning by 5%, but Bush won in districts with optical scanning machine by a 5% margin the other way. Statisticians determined that this swing was next to impossible.
brilliant, it doesn’t even out and it wasn’t fair. It worked in the Republican’s favor and was planned. The CEO of Diebold even said he was committed to delivering Ohio to Bush.
Sarandon is brave for speaking out. I saw her speak at a protest march in DC, and was very impressed. It take a lot of nerve to be as outspoken as she is.

If you want to assert GOP wrongdoings in Ohio, let’s talk about Minnesota and Pennsylvania.
In Ohio - Bush defeated Kerry by 136,483. ; 2.5%
In Minn - Kerry defeated Bush by 98,444 ; 3.5%
In PA - Kerry defeated Bush by 128,869. ; 2.2%
The mass media had you believe that Ohio ballot problems were the reason for a Bush win, only because Ohio was one of the last states to come in that evening.
However, there were more actual, detailed voter fraud issues in Minnesota and Pennsylvania, than Ohio, and the margin of victory in actual votes for Kerry was slimmer in those states than Bush’s in Ohio.
But left leaners would have you believe it was Ohio’s problems that had Bush the winner, when if we were to revisit Minnesota and PA, Bush would likely have had even more electoral votes.
Again, something’s wrong when Philadelphia can have 130% and greater voter turnout in poor districts and give D candidates a 300,000 - 500,000 voter plurality coming out of there on election day.
