Reply #68: Sadly, you are correct. And on just how correct that is rest the chance for Obama to win.

We cannot underestimate the importance of STOPPING OR CATCHING the Bushies in their voter suppression schemes.

Every election they have a few new methods and because the Democrats simply refuse to investigate the ample evidence, we have no real defenses against the old ones still, let alone the new ones.

Death by a thousand cuts. Think of a Civil War battalion charging across a field. They start out with 1000, but after crossing the first half of the field, they are down to 900, as they go over the fence, their numbers are slaugtered to 800, then 700. By the time the unit fires it's volley and fixes it's bayonets and charges the enemy, only 600 have gotten through. to the "voting booth".

THAT is the Bushie strategy of "death by 1000 cuts". It also gives them Plausibly Deniability because no single method (at least those non-electronic methods) is so awful or obvious that it crosses the threshold of outrage, which is pretty damned high among our fellow Americans...considering.

It's brilliant, really. A true work of evil genius applied by many people with much funding, time to think about and many years with a lack of aware opposition thus an wide open playing field.

My God, if the Bushies could fight Terrorist Organizations HALF as well as they crush the American People, American Freedom and the American Dream, while stealing trillion$, then there would be a major organization left on this Earth that hadn't been shattered to bits.
