In 2004, the world assumed that Bush would be defeated, not knowing that he could steal the election through hacked voting machines and corrupt state officials. I still remember the outcry from other nations well.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11397335545286040472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16179347.post-51308806534766479292008-01-29T09:12:00.000+10:002008-01-29T09:12:00.000+10:00I was mainly impressed that the Aust media has at ...I was mainly impressed that the Aust media has at last taken an editorial position.
