AND here at DU!
The BushCons are a thousand steps ahead of us. And they are now going to do to California what they did to the rest of the country on 11/2. Kevin Shelley is the reason John Kerry won CA, and Barbara Boxer won by a blowout. There were anomalous numbers re: Kerry (reducing his real % in CA), but Shelley's decertification of Diebold, and his providing Californians with a paper ballot option last summer, when he realized the seriousness of the problem, were very important to the state remaining blue (a true reflection of the majority of Californians). So they went after Shelley, and got rid of him. It's that simple.
And the Democrats, as usual, are clueless. It's enough to drive a DUer mad!
Schwarzenegger was chosen by George Schultz and Kenneth Lay, and other assorted thieves and Darth Vaders at a meeting in L.A. about a year before the Recall, to Bushify California, and particularly, 1) to prevent CA from getting its $10 billion back from Enron & Co., 2) to complete the looting of California (now in progress starting with assaults on state pension programs--to make the poor pay for that massive theft, a good portion of which found its way into the Bush/Cheney campaign coffers!), and 3) to redistrict California, Tom DeLay style (in progress--Schwarz-sponsored initiative, one of the reasons they had to get rid of SoS Shelley).
After the Enron theft, which is generally known (although the L.A. meeting is NOT widely known--Greg Palast revealed it, and has documentation, but it has been almost 100% suppressed by the lapdog press), there was a real possibility of CA generating a big anti-corporate movement in the US. Unions, human rights groups, and assorted anti-corporatists in Inglewood--a poor black area of L.A.--for instance, fought off a Wal-Mart invasion--a very important campaign. Movies like "Bullworth" and "Manchurian Candidate" indicate that even Hollywood recognizes the problem of corporate domination. And Michael Moore, of course, is very big in Hollywood, and very popular in the state. A real serious reform movement with potential to sweep across the country--anti Oil Cartel, anti-Bush, anti-war, anti-globalization--was a real possibility.
But the Bush Oil Cartel can only succeed here--or anywhere in the US, really, but especially CA--by fixing the elections. I believe the Bush Oil Cartel is well aware that they have successfully blockaded election reform in Congress. It's never going to happen there. They know this is a STATE BY STATE fight.
(So does Howard Dean, by the way--and I've been maintaining this all along. We can't depend on the Democrats in Congress on this issue--they gave us HAVA! And now, as a result, their numbers are further reduced. They permitted our right to vote to be taken away, with hardly a peep out of them! The Democrats in Congress and at the DNC--at least in the past--have been either stupid/uninformed and thus malfeasant, or corrupt, on election system issues, or they are pro-war and don't care).
Anyway, that's WHY the Bush Cartel installed Schwarzenegger, and that's why they're playing so dirty in CA. This is an election reform fight FIRST OF ALL. They are going to destroy all of Shelley's work trying to keep CA elections clean.
And it looks like the Dem legislators--who right now have a strong majority, and many hard fighting progressives--DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT THIS IS ABOUT, and WON'T KNOW WHAT HIT THEM when they all start losing elections!!!!!
This is a DU Election Forum fight. We must take this on. This is where the battle for Election Reform will be won or lost. In CA, NOW.
I'm going to post DU LETTER OF THE WEEK #4: The Diebolding of California (or some such title), sometime tomorrow--with CA state legislator contact info. The letter will be aimed at CA legislators resisting any BushCon appointment as SoS (by Schwarz), getting a good appointment, and EDUCATING THEM on election fraud and on how extremist BushCon policies and appointments are connected to election fraud.
The state Legis. has to consent to an SoS appointment. CA voters VOTED overwhelmingly for a Democrat in that position--so they have a good argument for getting a Democrat. (Then the problem will be WHICH Democrat--will he/she fight Diebold and fraudulent elections?)
Note: Schwarz has some socially liberal views, but the Bush Cartel HAD to install someone with such views, because Californians have totally rejected BushCon rightwing ideology--social conservatives can barely get 40% votes in this state, in statewide elections (there are some pockets of nutdom). But Schwarz is a TROJAN HORSE!
Their choice of Schwarz tells you how sincere they are about social and religious values--mere fodder for exploitation in this horrendous, traitorous plot by fascists, corporatists and war profiteers to take total control of the US.
