Dems say nothing about video on easy theft of elections via Diebold -why?
Princeton researchers now know that hacking the vote is way easier than stealing candy from a baby. No witnesses to worry about. Watch the videos http://itpolicy.princeton.edu/voting/videos.html and see for yourself. So much for that "I want a receipt" mantra.

1. Sometimes I think that they don't want to do anything about
this. If they did they've be standing behind RFK, Jr. and forcing everyone to take notice.

2. it's right up there with the ''weak on defense'' or ''tax and spend'' --
just whole malaise that seems to have struck the too many dems since reagan.

i don't get it -- but there it is.

3. I posted a thread about this last week - I heard from a political reporter
that there IS buzz about the machines, but Dem leaders and "strategists" (as in Bill Clinton, Carville, Begala, et al) think talking about it makes Dems sound weak and whiny.

And they think it will interfere with the tough image they want to portray.

Same reason they wouldn't support the Iraq withdrawal plan - they are very much out of touch.

5. The Answer to that means inventing a NEW word.
How about "Compliciprocity"?

A combination of "complicit" and "reciprocity".

If an endangered species, say the polar bear, could sue the government in court and asked for damages for members of their species lost, or displaced and dying, because of lost ice floes, what might happen?

What would one call it if the GOP (read "government") said,

"Ok. Here's the deal. STFU and we will let some of you live out your normal lives. Otherwise you're toast! And we'll let the Green Party (oops! I meant "Brown bears") take your place."?

Would that be an example of animal "Compliciprocity"?

6. They are in a contest (election), but both Dem's and Repub
Politicians do not care how the contest is counted, and they can't prove beyond a reason of doubt that the contest (election) was counted. What does that tell us?

99% of Politicians Dem's and Repubs, once they become blood brothers of the secret vote counting club, are not permitted to discuss the fact that the votes are being counted in secret. They are allowed under certain conditions to speak out about it, but it is only a quick sound bite, to calm the voting public. A blood brother that goes astray, Mckinney which discussed it in public, you see what happened to her.

Goodbye to the two party system, it is no longer in effect, with just a little common sense, when it comes to the Dems SILENCE about the secret vote counting machines, and them not being concerned as to how their contest is BEING COUNTED, there is only one conclusion that can be drawn. ITS A ONE PARTY SYSTEM, disguised to look like a two party system in order to make it look like like we live in a Democracy.

Being a Democracy must be worth billions, in order for the Politicians to go thru all this trouble to make it look like one.

MY TWO CENTS---LETS GET THESE RAT BASTARDS----KICK-N-RECOMMENDED!
