In a legal sense, this week may be the perfect storm, with the Arnebeck suit and the affidavits by Curtis and the worker who witnessed the tampering. Thank God I have DU; otherwise I might not have heard of any of it. Sure it’s great stuff, but unfortunately, it won’t stick unless MSM holds it up for all to see. In my view, the reason that hasn’t happened is because the pols are hiding in their caves. Unless Kerry steps up, pounds his fist on a pulpit and essentially says “This is bullshit,” it’ll all be reduced to window dressing in a critical blow to both the democratic process and the 2004 election. If, like so many of us have believed, Kerry has been playing it close to the vest to wait until just the right moment--that moment has arrived.
But John Kerry is MIA.
Before you call me a naysayer, whiner or meanie, consider this: we haven’t even been able to convince half the people who voted for Kerry—including many hardcore liberals—that Election Fraud is even a credible concept. Only 20% of all Americans question the voting process at all. For all of the OMG, OMG , pom-pom waving here, our mammoth story remains in small print. With a story of THIS magnitude, we still get excited about drip, drip, drip when in reality we should be getting ka-boom.
Some argue that this is not a popularity contest and we don’t need MSM exposure. Wrong, wrong, wrong. If John Kerry stood up and cried “Election Fraud” it would have wide-ranging results. 1) A public outcry by Kerry will promote public dialogue, true investigation, donations, watchdogging and legitimacy in the MSM. Many will criticize, but many will come aboard, too. Like 60 minutes, some news outlets themselves are afraid of the backlash of being called conspiracists for initiating this story without some sort of public event to provoke it. Kerry can remove that barrier by speaking up. 2) Kerry would make instant believers out of the voters who only get their news and form their views from MSM. There are millions. Some people who need to be told how to think—Repubs and Dems—need to see a credible face with a concept that is widely dismissed as crazy conspiracies. 3) Public officials would be unlikely to pull the kind of crap that Blackwell is pulling each day. Do you think they’d’ve left the store open at the voting booth if CBS was in town? Would they have illegally locked down a recount with a NY Times reporters at the scene? 4) The Courts who will ultimately hear Arnebeck’s suit only have pressure from their (Repub) partisanship. Without a greater force of public outcry, only the incredible pressure from BushCo will decide the court case. Like Florida, the merits of the case won’t matter. Even Arnebeck says he needs public support to win this, and Kerry could bring instant exposure. 5) Lastly, I concede on the point that if JFK speaks up, it might negatively impact his political career. If he speaks up and it doesn’t work, then I guarantee you he will not win the next rigged election, either.
With BushCo politicizing the FBI, computerizing the voting via Help America Vote, stacking the Supreme Court, blowing up the Middle East, dismantling Social Security and continuing on The Mission from God, we can’t afford to let this play itself out. 2008 is too late.
The time is now, John Kerry. Tell the world that this is unconscionable, criminal and blatantly unAmerican and that you’re not going to offend the people who voted for you by going quietly. People have risked their lives, their money and their futures for you by stepping up and going public about Election Fraud. A fluffy sound bite about “every vote counting” ain’t working. Throwing Jesse to the wolves was heroic, but he unfortunately doesn’t have the universal credibility that you have. Instructing your lawyer to send a letter requesting what is rightfully yours is certainly commendable, but a show of passion and outrage by YOU is the only way that the substance of the claims of Election Fraud will be considered by those who matter. Don’t miss the sweet spot here. You need Arnebeck and Arnebeck needs you. WE need you.
And the time is NOW.
