Democratic Politicians in the upcoming 'election' must be forced to act on election fraud!

[spacemanspiff]

I know we are all supposed to just get out and vote for democratic candidates and hope for the best, but this audio reminder of what happened in election 2004 might remind everyone what we are up against...

This is testimony of people involved in the election challenge in Ohio, where the participation of one particular Democratic Candidate would have helped alot toward the hunt for the truth of what happened,

We cannot wait and expect the green party to do all of the work to expose election fraud. We must force our democratic candidates to fight!

1. But seriously: what are the chances they will?

Nothing effective done in 2000, 2002 or 2004. Do we really think 2006 will be any different?

[spacemanspiff]

2. We have to try...

...and remain hopeful that they will get the message. Robert F Kennedy Jr has already exposed the whole lie of 2004 in the Rolling Stone for everyone to see...all eyes are on the Democratic candidates this time...they must stand up!!

[TechBear_Seattle]

4. Yes, they must stand up

And when most remain seated, what should we do?

[spacemanspiff]

6. I have no idea!

But they run the risk of being exposed as collaborators...

[TechBear_Seattle]

7. (Insert snort of derision here)

Far too many of them have already exposed themselves. As collaborators, I mean.

9. I know I know!

sheeit I don't know what to do....but I think alot more people are watching this time. After the election last time something like 30% thought something fishy was up with the election, and I know the numbers are higher now. Something has to happen, too many people still believe we have a democracy and will be willing to fight for that....I hope.....

14. GOTV, BUT no more mercy if the Dems REMAIN SILENT

we need to STOP accusing Republicans of stealing the Dem vote, and we need to say it like it is, The Republican and Democratic Politicians are stealing and or manipulating OUR votes, because for the Dems to remain silent, this time, with all the information that is out there about these machines, would definitely make the Dems, collaborators!

12. Same chance as support for a DSM investigation or Alito Filibuster or...

...support for Lamont.

Our elected DEMs, for the most part, dont fight. They wait for the Repubs to "fall on their own swords."

3. The fact that the Green Party fought tooth and nail to ...

see that the damn votes got counted really shows how out of touch many supposedly "mainstream" Democrats are when it comes to fundamental democratic principles.

The conventional wisdom is "It's over; time to move on instead of stirring the pot." To describe it as "stirring the pot" is nothing more than cowardice because it attempts to categorize election integrity as anything but necessary, that it's one of those battles that we could "elect" to skip.

11. spot on -- there's a BIAS among "people," not just media

that a close-call, once ruled upon as in football, is a standing order. we are quick to REINFORCE that call with narratives that use it as received wisdom.

for example... when max cleland "lost" in 2002 despite exit polling way outside of the MOE, it was explained as that the parapalegic veteran was a victim of negative campaigning that associated him with osama bin laden and saddam hussein. we didn't QUESTION the vote even tho eXIT POLLs are the only indication we have of a clean election. NO -- "we" QUESTIONED our collective insantiy for falling for such absurd advertising.

we are hardwired to question our own sanity before questioning an outside "agency."

5. question for someone??

8. We can't even force them to vote party line.

I agree that of course we should fight election fraud tooth and nail, but I have no faith that our leaders are up for the fight. Ultimately it is going to be the rank and file, you and me, with our bodies on the line, who bring this nightmare to an end.

10. maybe they will mutter something on an obscure website or somthing?

13. Many people say Kerry couldn't have done anything?

According to the people involved in the Ohio recount case, if John Kerry had been present the judge would have ruled differently and allowed the recount to take place when it would have made a difference.

[endarkenment]

16. If John had simply asked us all to

go down to Washington and protest the situation, perhaps we would not be in the mess we are in right now.

[spacemanspiff]

20. absolutely!

The Ukranian election came shortly afterward and they showed exactly what we should have done....

[spacemanspiff]
