Anyone smart enough to look beyond our corporate-controlled mainstream media (alternatives include well-known investigative journalist Greg Palast, see GregPalast.com) will learn of Florida Governor Jeb Bush's criminal malfeasance perpetrated prior to his brother George W. Bush's 2000 Presidential election. The Governor had close friends in high places at a company called DBT Technologies, which was acquired by Choicepoint Software, a company specializing in identity record searches. Jeb Bush and Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris fraudulently created a method to go beyond Florida voting laws preventing Florida felons from voting, and catching as many Democratic voters in their web of ineligibles, as possible. With five million dollars of Florida taxpayer money, they purchased a flawed Florida felons purge list, which DBT had warned as containing tens of thousands of perfectly legal Floridians without felony records. Why did the Governor and the Secretary of State go ahead and purchase this flawed list? The answer lies in WHO was incorrectly placed on the list: It contained black, low-income individuals - a usually Democrat-voting demographic.  

With this seven-year-old history lesson in mind, and remembering that Bush defeated Gore by such a slim margin - the Supreme Court's upheld number of winning Bush votes was 356 - Jeb's voter fraud has had world changing consequences, and I wholeheartedly agree, has left our world much worse off. I am not "going out on a limb" in believing that had Gore won, there would be around 150,000 Iraqi civilians, including many women and children, living out their lives as they should be doing. This is also the case for 3,000 American servicemen and women, not mentioning the tens of thousand wounded. Furthermore, what little I know about Al Gore, I have to believe that he may have been responding instead of ignoring the worst humanitarian crisis since the Rwanda Genocide of the early nineties - the Darfur Genocide occurring since 2003, thereby preventing the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians. This crisis our good Christian President George W. Bush does not seem to interested in since there is not a strong financial incentive such as stealing oil for Exxon and Chevron.  

There are plenty of other calamities because of Jeb's fraud: environmental regulation unraveling, which allows our children to breath more polluted air, as well as a failure to stop industry from adding to global warming. Tax breaks for the ultra-rich at the expense of the middle class, American jobs being sent overseas, destruction of rights guaranteed under the US Constitution, etc. However, some higher power must have sent a lot of Karma Jeb's way!
