Great segment from Olbermann's show, featuring good discussion from Jon Soltz, chairman of votevets.org.

1. when cheney has the Big One and his puppet finds a pretzel he cant cough up or we get paper ballots

[uberllama42]

8. Paper ballots won't fix anything

Elections are not the solution as long as we still have a two-party system.

[sam sarrha]

10. so are you saying there is no difference between the Two parties..?? there is a chance

with democratic dominance of the congress we can change the contributions.. they will use it for a dictatorship.. no difference is just F'n lame thinking

[uberllama42]

11. I haven't seen any evidence that the Democrats

are going to do anything to change the way things work. Corporations own both parties. Is any Democrat seriously talking about limiting the influence of corporations?

What do you define as a significant difference between the parties?

[sam sarrha]

12. yes they are.. but they have to have the appropriate majorities to do it, to break the filibusters

[Jade Fox]

2. "We just drive around, waiting to get shot...."

Wow. That says it all about the great Bush Administration strategy in Iraq.

3. best line in the whole interview

"And here come the people in Washington who have never had the courage to fight for this country, they stand up and they say "well, we're going to be here for 50 year or indefinitely....only 1% of the Iraqi population supports an American presence in Iraq."

There has been more truth spoken to power in the last couple of days... is there a sea change afoot?

[Evergreen Emerald]

4. that just makes me sick

We are abandoning them. And when I see the President say things like its our "destiny" I think we are allowing a mad-man to continue killing our men and women.

6. the Madness of King George

another george gone over the mental edge.

[SemperEadem]

5. the more I see and hear from vetvote.org

the more I like... they truly speak truth to power. Loved his closing lines about "waste of space" liberman's purpose for even going over there.

7. Lieberman is a Bush ally, that is why he doesn't listen!

Whether Bush and Lieberman agreed or disagreed with the soldiers, they really see no reason to listen to their concerns. They are merely puppets in their wet dream world of a democratic Iraq. I have to thank our Ct. Dems who voted for the asshole. Even though I hope all of you rot in hell.

9. "I really wish they could've talked to a senator who cared what they thought." How sad is that?
