BBV: KERRY just said he's gonna demand paper records for
Edited on Sat Dec-06-03 01:39 PM by creativelcro
all voting machines. He said he's gonna put together the best legal team to decide how to do it. He brought up Diebold and the usual stuff...
Looks like politicians are realizing this may become a hot issue!!

1. I know, that was killer.
"strongest legal team" to investigate Diebold!

Woo Hoo! These guys are finally waking up to this issue!

2. I wish they talked about paper ballots
but I understand that they are just talking to the "masses" here. They may be talking about paper ballots, even if they use the term sloppily. -CV

6. Hey, Kerry investigated BCCI and got it shut down
and exposed IranContra through his investigations. Why do you think Poppy was so busy handing out pardons before he left office?

Kerry is the best candidate on government corruption issues in the race. THAT'S one of the big reasons BushInc. makes sure the media shuts him off in the primary.

16. Kerry always doing the politically expedient thing
Dennis put the Diebold memos on his site. Kerry os only latching onto this because he thinks it will help his campaign. How obvious can it be. I am glad he is saying sometning...but the last 2 days he looks as if he is grasping at straws to save his campaign.

5. They realize that the fix is in, unless they act now
Florida times 50...not too hard to figure out! But if they don't act now, it will be too late. Maybe they are paying attention to Paul Krugman and Greg Palast, finally!

12. As usual, Kerry's doing the Party good.
He's pushing an issue that will benefit him if he's the nominee or whomever it is. The guy really believes in service. Almost his entire adult life, he's put the country ahead of himself.

13. We have a strong field, and I think it is good that they are hitting on
the corrupt nature of the bush junta.

14. That's my motivator, alfredo. I want the corruption DEALT WITH
once and for all. Noone can do it better than Kerry. Peopleforget how BCCI and IranContra dirt exposed by Kerry helped push Clinton into office in 92. Poppy's credibility took a big hit with the American people when the info came out bit by bit.

15. Kerry is one bad-ass dude. I would
be more than happy to work for his campaign if he gets the nod either as president or vice president.

I remember after the last debate an analyst showed how the message of the cozy relationship between bush and corrupt businessmen resonates.

BBVB could lend a lot of weight to this.

17. Totally agree blm!!
And I, too, think that the Republican Corporate media are manipulating our candidates' exposure to promote the candidate that they think will be Bush's easiest opponent.

I really do like Dean and the things he is saying. But he might have a record on service that will make Junior's look strong by comparison.

If we want to settle the BFEE influence in our government once and for all, I think Kerry would be the strongest candidate to support.

That said, I will support whomever we collectively decide on to run against the Bush junta.

19. I would like to see Kerry...
slam the misadministration over "free speech zones." I think he could hit them hard and fast with the hypocritcal discrimination displayed by these zones. What do you think?
