Tom Delay's Greatest Achievement

[BeFree]

America was saddled with Delay's Help America Vote Act, or HAVA. Also known as Hack America's Vote Act.

Delay managed to make available billions of dollars to a few republican insider computer companies who's intent, we now know, to steal as many elections as possible in the shortest period of time.

Well, when you throw billions of dollars at a problem, it tends to be fixed, eh?

Tom Delay was very successful at duping America, and he and his cronies are still laughing at us, all the way to the bank.

Tell me, doesn't that piss you off?

[Flabbergasted]

1. Not at all. The witch is dead. That fucker had it coming...

[BeFree]

2. Yeah, he had it coming

But we will have to live with his BS for a long, long time.

I think that in the white house tonight the rats are thinking about the quickest way to jump ship, but then, when you own the vote counting machinery, what's the worry?

[Flabbergasted]

3. All in all I'm going to celebrate this day my brother...Tomorrow is

another day. I really detested that ass for everything he's done. I hope he's sitting at home watching Faux and dreaming of the good old days. Bye Bye Witch.

[BeFree]

5. Yes, it is a day to celebrate. n/t

6. Unfortunately, the "wicked witch"'s nasty spell over our nation's voting

system lingers on.

A direct product of the Delay/Ney/Abramoff cabal: Two Bushite corporations, Diebold and ES&S, gained control of 80% of the nation's vote 'tabulation' in 2004, with 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY programming code--code so secret not even our secretaries of state are permitted to review it--and virtually no audit/recount controls.

Diebold: Headed by Wally O'Dell, a Bush/Cheney campaign chair and major fundraiser, who promised in writing to "deliver" Ohio to Bush/Cheney in 2004.

ES&S: A spinoff of Diebold (similar computer architecture), initially funded by rightwing billionaire Howard Ahmanson, who also gave one million dollars to the extremist 'christian' Chalcedon Foundation (which, among other things, touts the death penalty for homosexuals).

Diebold and ES&S have an incestuous relationship--they are run by two brothers, Tod and Bob Urosevich.

These are the people who are 'counting' our votes behind a veil of secrecy.

The "Hack America's Vote Act" (passed during the Anthrax Congress) was designed to corrupt and destroy our election system, and that is exactly what it did.

He may be retiring but his dirty rotten stench lives on.
