    You are forgetting about the democratic machine of Chicago.

    Everyone knows that the 1960 election was stolen from Nixon in Chicago.

    Isn't Obama located in chicago now?

    Hahahahah - man, Bogart....a half century ago and there was Republican fraud taking place downstate as there was in the city with Da Mayor and his minions:

    1960 Election - Chicago

    Yep, Obama is an Al-Qaeda/communist/traitor plant, with the Chicago machine of 1960 ensuring he will be elected against the wishes of the people of the United States, all part of the KJH/OPT/ERF/FQZ/WOG/REX/EFL globalist conspiracy. As clear as day, makes perfect sense to me.:D

    Thanks for the link

    1960 Election - Chicago

    There never was a recount in the 1960 election:

    In Chicago, where Kennedy won by more than 450,000 votes, local reporters uncovered so many stories of electoral shenanigans--including voting by the dead--that the Chicago Tribune concluded that "the election of November 8 was characterized by such gross and palpable fraud as to justify the conclusion that [Nixon] was deprived of victory."

    There never was a recount. The Texas Election Board, composed entirely of Democrats, had already certified Kennedy as the winner.

    Yes, you bet. It also seems that Nixon was a gentleman, in his public wishes, when it came to this - concerned over what the recount would do to the country (apparently Watergate wasn't in mind, at this point).

    Now, you must have missed the part where I said:

    To now, you know, McCain is from Phoenix - something fishy going on there:

    http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/10/14/politics/main649380.shtml

    Bogart, will you honestly try anything, no matter how ridiculous? Muslim terrorist, communist boogieman, traitor, and now bought and paid for (posthumously, to the tune of a half century) by the dead Mayor of Chicago. What's next - alien insertion?

    Bulls**t. If you had to chose between Hitler, Stalin and a third unpopular candidate who polls at 1% named Einstein, would you vote for Stalin as the lesser of two evils? I'll vote my conscience and **** voting for the lesser evil.

    I'd agree.. It boggles my mind though, how so few people care, yet those people still turn out to vote for candidates they know fairly little about... Some because of their race, gender, or their family's party affiliation; I just don't get it...

    Richard M Daley is mayor of Chicago and head of the Chicago machine.

    Some things don't change.

    I'd agree, but it does raise a philosophical dilemma, and to take it a step further - failing a "revolution," acknowledging a world that is less than perfect, does one attempt to work from within the system to achieve at least some modicum of benefit to mankind, or barring an audience in toto for one's views, does one refuse public life?

    I think Thomas More said it quite well, in the opening to his Utopia:

    I long ago concluded that few if any actions of mankind result in the overweening, everlasting good; most, quite the opposite. So we do what we can, with our imperfect hearts and minds. Such a question must come up, in my mind, when deciding what is to be done, from within government - the "counsellors and princes" - and from without, as a private citizen supporting those same creatures.
