Because it is true

In the 2000 elections, it became clear that whichever candidate won would need the electoral votes of the state of Florida. Florida happens to be the state of which Bush's brother Jeb was at the time the Governor, but that may have had nothing to do with what then happened.
What is not in dispute is that the vote in Florida was extremely close, and that after a month of court challenges and recounts, at a point when the outcome was in Bush's favour, the US Supreme Court ordered that the recounting was to stop, and in doing so effectively decreed Bush the winner. The exact circumstances of and reasons for the Court's decision have been a matter of dispute, as have been vote-counting practices and voter registration in Florida itself.
The 2004 elections were marked by negative campaigning (John Kerry, Bush's main opponent, a Vietnam veteran, was accused of fabricating elements of his war record, which is slightly ironic since Bush has never served in combat at all); there was a controversy about the election results in Ohio; and at least one source has suggested that given the remarkable discrepancy between exit polls and the final tally, there may have been irregularities about vote-counting on a nationwide basis.
I'm not personally saying that cheating went on, you understand. I'm just pointing you towards the people who have made the accusations.

If you are really interested in learning why then read "the Best Democracy Money Can Buy" you will see in great detail how Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris orchestrated the stealing of a presidential election. Truth be told, if you ever read VOTESCAM by the collier brothers you would learn that elections have been stolen in this country for decades by both sides and on all levels of government.

Because he did rig both elections, which is fortunate, since despite his complete and utter incompetence, he isn't as big of a buffoon as John Kerry or Al Gore.
The fraud in Ohio was exposed by the Libertarian candidate Badnarik and the Green candidate Cobb. There was also fraud in New Mexico.
The Florida fraud is obvious, since a proper recount of each and every vote, including all the hanging chads, would show that Gore won Florida. If they didn't include the hanging chads, Bush would have won.

Well what are the odds of the state that is the decider having a huge amount of discrepancies, and at first going to Gore than being re decided by the state supreme court to give it to Bush, and the Governor of the state being his brother?

Because Liberals cannot stand losing and will do anything to seize power
The first election was the stupid Florida hanging chad debacle.
The second was a decisive win but of course the liberals cried about Ohio and it was proven over and over that W won.

Same reason any pres is accused of some crime during his campaign... the people who don't want him to win, need to find something to harp about. Dan Rather went to such extremes as to run with FALSE information. Cost him his job.
But hey. That's American politics.

Because both elections were fixed!!! The Globalists made sure of that, and it is pretty certain, unfortunately, that they will continue to do the same, unless the people put a stop to it!!!

well he didn't cheat, the supreme court selected him, which they dont have the authority to do. in 2004 there were numerous claims of voter fraud. none that have ever been fully investigated though.
