Fear Sells! 58 Million Americans Buy It.
There are so many headlines I could write. I kind of like USA Today’s understated approach.
Here’s the numerical breakdown:
Bush
Republican Party
59,458,641
Kerry
Democrat Party
55,949,384
Nader
Independent
400,688
Badnarik
Libertarian Party
381,538
Peroutka
Constitution Party
130,930
Cobb
Green Party
106,390
Peltier
Peace and Freedom Party
21,616
Brown
Socialist Party USA
10,281
Harris
Socialist Workers Party (alternate)
6,862
Calero
Socialist Workers Party
5,287
Or look at it this way: 115,408,025 for Skull and Bones versus 1,635,592 for the American Free Thinking Society, a.k.a. Voices of Dissent.
3,949,150 Americans voted for someone other than Bush and Gore in November of 2000, making it plain to see just how effective this system is at crushing opposition.
