Reply #9: *NOT* COMATOSE! POWERLESS, DEMORALIZED, *DISENFRANCHISED*!!!!!!!

[Peace Patriot]

This fantastic poll shows that the American people are far better informed than anyone gives them credit for! They are not stupid! They are not "sheeple"! They are not brain dead! We actually should have known that from the polls on Bush and the War (and issue polls over the last several years). But some DUers and leftists love to bash the American people. That's easier than figuring out what's really going on. Against all odds, and in spite of a near total BLACK HOLE IN THE CORPORATE NEWS MONOPOLY PRESS, the American people HAVE FIGURED THIS ONE OUT, but, clearly, a) they DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT, and b) they FEEL POWERLESS TO STOP IT.

They have never before experienced A FASCIST COUP!

Electronic voting run on SECRET CODE, owned and controlled by Bushite corporations, is nothing less. That's one thing this poll didn't ask. How do you feel about the following parties counting all the votes under a veil of CORPORATE SECRECY?

DIEBOLD: Until recently, headed by Wally O'Dell, a Bush-Cheney campaign chair and major fundraiser (a Bush "Pioneer," right up there with Ken Lay), who promised in writing to "deliver Ohio's electoral votes to Bush-Cheney in 2004"; and

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 touts the death penalty for homosexuals, among other things). Diebold and ES&S have an incestuous relationship; they are run by two brothers, Bob and Todd Urosevich.

SEQUOIA: The third big election theft player, which employs Republican Bill Jones, former CA Sec of State, and his chief aide Alfie Charles, to peddle their secretly programmed voting machines--in the highly corrupt practice of "revolving door" employment.

-----------------------------------

It was deliberate. It included the collusion of some Democratic Party leaders. Its purpose was to shove a Mideast war down the throats of the American people--a war that the majority have not wanted since way back before the invasion of Iraq (56% opposed--Feb. '03). Opposition to this corporate oil war and its perp, Bush, is now up in the 70% range. EIGHTY-FOUR PERCENT (in a recent poll) oppose any U.S. participation in a widened Mideast war, yet that's what the Bush Cartel is heading us straight toward, with much of the Democratic Party leadership applauding the Bushites' latest ploy: get Israel to do it.

This explains the MIND-BOGGLING SILENCE of the Democratic Party leadership on Bushite corporations gaining control of our election system during the 2002-2004 period, with a nearly $4 billion electronic voting boondoggle, called the "Help American Vote for Bush" Act--that they all voted for.*

Don't need no Nazi boots. Don't need no Tsarist troops. Don't need no Genghis Khan. Fiddle the vote and "bring it on."

(Any songwriter wants to steal this rhyme, be my guest!)

----------------------------------

So, what do we do about it?

----------------------------------

MASSIVE ABSENTEE BALLOT VOTING!

Citizen revolt against the machines!

Go for it, America! You can do it!

Absentee Ballot voting is not "safe" (they mess with those votes, too), but if enough people vote Absentee (and many are--it's up to 50% in Los Angeles)--if the 70% who despise Bush refuse to vote on their diabolical machines--if the 92% who want TRANSPARENT vote counting BOYCOTT the rigged machines--we can FORCE corrupt local/state election officials to the table. WHAT CAN THEY DO IF YOU DUMP THE TEA IN THE HARBOR?! WHAT CAN THEY DO IF YOU WON'T RIDE THE SEGREGATED BUS?! WHAT CAN THEY DO IF YOU WON'T PAY THE SALT TAX, and you go down to the sea and get your own damn salt FOR NOTHING?!

Hit 'em in their $4 billion boondoggle!

Bust the machines! Bust Bush! Bust the War! Bust Congress! Vote Absentee this November!

*(Note: The ONLY Senate "no" votes on HAVA were...surprise, surprise...Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer. Go figure. Possibly has something to do with New York still having the old-fashioned, reliable lever voting machines, and their refusal to give them up, despite intense Bush junta bullying. Also, New Yorkers tend to be smart cookies and intense at politics. If they got onto this coup, they might alert the rest of the country. Was that it? And the RECENT bullying has just been for show? Maybe. Dunno. As I said, hard to figure.)
