Hi Mike,

Well, despite all the debates on theFence, I hate to say I told you so, but, I told you so. I bet you that Howard Scream wouldn't win the presidency. And when he didn't, despite your obvious disappointment to the contrary, I showed you favor and said I would extend my bet with you to the election...that they guy you wanted to be a loser in the primaries, JFK, would be a loser in Nov. as well. Undaunted, I bet you something from my region against something for yours as a bet (I think I put up some smoked salmon) . I bet you that Bush would win, and once again, I have been proven right.

So Mike, are you going to come to your senses now and finally concede that most American's do not share your left wing fringe views, or are you going to remain in denial and spout off about some other rant and conspiracy theory? WARNING: Answering in denial will only cause you to endure in 2008 what you suffered in 2004. Will you guys ever learn?

Regards,

Mark

Mark, Mark, Mark - you really disappoint me.

You weren't anywhere to be seen when the accurate polling showed Bush was losing. You hid your cowardly butt as Kerry ran up leads on election night - erased only by dirty, illegal tricks not by votes. Don't take our word for it. Examine the news stories chronicling GOP efforts to block voters from voting. Republican trial lawyers sued to demand their "right" to sabotage the voting process.

We personally know people who were challenged because of gender or skin color. We personally know people who voted for Kerry, only to have the machine read Bush. They cleared it and voted for Kerry again. Again it came up Bush. This happened all across the USA. Some people caught the "error" but not all. Most Americans do not support Bush's wing nut agenda. Maybe you do, but that puts you in the fringe with him.

Kerry won Ohio, New Mexico, Florida and other states - enough to carry the Electoral College. Corrupt, Republican machines and "spoilage" cost us our republic. If Rove, Bush and company didn't cheat Bush would have conceded Wednesday, not Kerry. You're in denial about that, but informed people understand. We don't expect you to understand. You'd rather insult than educate yourself. That's how you remain ignorant. Well, some call that bliss. Enjoy it while you can. Bush is wrecking America. It's your nation too. Blindly, you help him. We all suffer.

Believe this if nothing else: Had Bush conceded - as the voters wanted - the last thing we'd do is gloat or rub your nose in it. We have something right wingers will never have: dignity. How dare you ask if we've come to our senses or warn us about our denial? You support a corrupt, failed regime that spills the blood of innocent people in lust for power and petroleum. You're in denial about that too. Again, people who know the truth aren't.

Most of the planet understands the crimes of your heroes and loath America. You wouldn't know about that. You don't bother to read independent news or the BBC. You wallow in right wing propaganda. You were silent for months, now all of a sudden you pop up claiming you won some bet. Well, fine. You've just won what the Voodoo Economics of Reagan, Bush and Bush produce in this area: the average American's share of the debt Bush borrowed and spent in our name, $5,066.29 and counting.

You can click on our donation link at this website and pay us through PayPal. For substantiation of the debt your hero ran up, see the article: Failing the Test of Citizenship. Either pay up, or admit there was no bet and you're just BSing. You should be ashamed of yourself. We hope you can live with yourself. We sure couldn't if we acted like you do.
