I laugh at you.

Bush got more votes this election than any president in the history of our country.
Give me access to some actual numbers.
If you want to see where it says Bush got more votes than any other president in history, you can read any newspaper, or check any internet cable news site and you will find something that will say exactly that.

kakomu Wrote:That, and you're avoiding the question. First by saying that Kerry got more votes than any runner up. Obvious that you don't want to touch on that, since I never mentioned historical runner ups in my post and now you decide to give me a smarmy answer rather than answering the question at hand.
I just read in the paper that he got more votes than any other runner up, that is all I read. It is probably likely that yes, he did get more votes than anyone else. That is what comes when more people vote, you get more votes. If you want specific answers and more comparisons then do your own research. You obviously have internet access so stop complaining about us not doing your work for you. I don't have a hard-on for Kerry and so I don't care about his numbers or whatever compared to any past president.

hahahaha. You still lost. :p
