If you believe in Election Integrity, Kucinich should be your candidate
Edited on Fri Jan-11-08 08:24 AM by riqster


Kooch KNOWS he won't pick up anything in the process, but he's taking the stand for the voters. Bless his pointy little head, I am so proud to be a Kucinich supporter today.

1. Your link isn't working.
:shrug:

And yes, I like Kucinich very much. We need more just like him in the Democratic Party.

2. Why isn't he calling for an investigation in Iowa?
If he wants integrity, why isn't he contesting the unusal amount of people who showed up to cacuses without proof of residence?


Where is the outrage?

4. Because Iowa is not a test case for the nation.
NH is, because it uses Hand-Counted AND Machine-counted ballots. Read the article.

5. So if everything checks out in NH after a primary recount
then any other challenges later by Dennis will be discounted. You can only pull that card out so many times.

6. Worth the risk to establish a precedent
..actually re-establish.

Before 2000, it was much more common to recount ballots if anything looked even slightly off. Since then, the vendors have worked diligently to suppress the practice.

7. My point is that if you ask for a recount and everything checks out fine
the next time you ask, people will not be as willing to go along with it.

If it doesn't check out, then he's golden. He better be right!

8. He's always been willing to take a hit on matters of principal
...one of the reasons I support him. Your point is well taken, but the odds of everything coming up perfect are miniscule to say the least. There will be enough errors to justify the exercise, AND make the Fraudistas nervous.
