Is Your State Next???

If you have not read this yet, your not really completely aware of what Bush, Rove and the Republicans are up to...take the time to read the whole article, it's very quick reading...you will be very enlightened and enraged. Check out the link...And if you have read this article, you'll agree, it's important reading for everyone.

And so, in large state after large state, the Democratic party and its institutions are being attacked.

In Texas, on orders from Washington -- read: Karl Rove (see below for how Bush's brain may well have accomplished this) and hatchetman Tom Delay -- there is an illegal attempt to redistrict the Congressional delegation, so that the Democrats will lose their majority.


In Florida, and in the rest of the states moving to a computer-registration and voting system, the same forces that ensured a Bush victory in 2000 in the Sunshine State, are hard at work to minimize the Democratic vote once again.


Remember that for the 2000 election in Florida, about 94,000 Democratic voters, under the cover that they all were convicted felons, were removed electronically from the computerized polling lists and not permitted to vote, even though 91,000 of those names were there by mistake. Of course, this outrageous act alone sufficed to yield Florida, and eventually the White House, to Bush.

In California, a governor elected in a fair vote just nine months ago is now subject to recall and replacement, even though he has done nothing criminal or outrageous that would warrant such an extreme move.

In short, what is going on here is an attempt to get these large, electoral vote-rich states into the Bush column for 2004 and to the GOP beyond.


And we haven't even gone into detail about the computer-voting scandal, which may well have led to a number of other large states, such as Georgia, going into the Republican column in the 2002 election, thus giving control of the U.S. Senate to the Republicans.

1. It may not just be large states

Minnesota only has 10 electoral votes and, at the risk of getting flamed, don't forget what happened here before the 2002 election.

9. Yes, but Paul Wellstone's election was for a national position...

US Senator...Wellstone was five points ahead, and his win would of kept control of the Senate for the Democrats...I'm from N CA and Wellstone was my kind of guy, very liberal...

Bush, Cheney, Rove and the Republicans hated Wellstone...and the rest is history...

11. But don't forget Pawlenty

who is a Bush stooge (he was going to run for the senate but was told to back off for Coleman) got elected (with 44% in a 3 way race).

They were able to spin memorial service so it played into their hands. Though I'm inclined to think that what was expected to happen was that the DFL would implode (as it has done in the past) and that demoralized Democrats would stay away from the polls. Giving the election to that weasel Coleman and to Pawlenty

12. There's no doubt what so ever in my mind Wellstones plane

was remotely blown up...none what so ever...very easy to do with today's technology, and no evidence...which they still (and they never will) come up with conclusive evidence to the contary. Wellstone was hated, I mean hated, so completely by this administration, CIA and the Pentagon.

Now watch some absolutely stupid bubblehead blind moderate say it was coincidence and a accident…these people are the same who think 9-11, WMD in Iraq, etc…is just what the Bush government and the corporate republican media tells them.

Everything is exactlly as they tell us...duh...right...huh!

2. I read yesterday that Bustamante is in the lead

in CA... so even if Davis is recalled, looks like the Repukes are shooting themselves in the foot. Oooh, I HOPE so!

And, in TX... people are sick of what's going on. People here, on average, don't like politicians at all. They thought going for Bush would be good because that's what they'd been taught to think, but many are realizing what a control freak he is. Down here, people don't like that. Bush will win this state in 04, no question about that, but the spread will be a lot smaller.

7. I predict the same for SC

Bush will win but Dems will be closing the gap significantly .... of course, that will only bring out the BIG guns for next round. Get ready.

3. VOTE NO ON THE RECALL!

It'll put a stop to these bastards in California!

4. Great article ... Media needs to begin connecting the dots

For a short while there I thought that the Fourth Estate was going to do their jobs and call Bushco on thier dirty tricks. It's off the main stream press radar now .... the sixteen word lie in the sotu speech, outing Wilson's CIA wife, engineering the Texas redistricting, now the CA recall. Dems have to be smarter and pull together with a common strategy to fight these things. Problem is, where is the DNC the DLC ? Nobody's home ... there needs to be a central organizing body. Where is it ?

8. You forgot Florida....

5. Hot flash- everywhere

and globally, for those of you tempted to think canada is exempt from thier minstrations. If you look you will see it is microscopic for state and national governments. The quality and success and strength varies but the hunt excludes no one with a vulnerability.
