Ya know, last I looked the 57 million who voted against Bush were
Americans too.


Yet a few of them don't act like it as they are unable to accept the
results of the election process.

One tally shows him winning by 3 milliion votes. Outta 120 million.


Closer to 4 million.

My heavens! Now he's up from 1/4 of 1% to 1/3 of 1% !
An overwhelming amount of support if I ever did see one! Yupper!
Gotta grasp those straws where one can.


Let me guess: math wasn't your best subject in school, was it?

Hint: one percent of 120 is one-point-two.

For the record, here are the actual figures:
Bush 60,608,582 (51.231%)
Kerry 57,288,974 (48.425%)
Nader 406,924 (0.344%)
[Source: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pag...lts/president/ ]

The difference is 3,319,608 votes out of 118,204,480 cast, or 2.806%.
