85. I would have thought the best strategy
Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 06:37 PM by PATRICK
would have been to confront the fraud well before the election by exposing the BBV Swiss cheese security, demanding public accounting and witnesses (lawyers and computer wizards) at all tabulation centers. Demanded more access at all under-machined precincts with a full recognition of provisional ballots. All of this BEFORE the election, instead of having lawyers on standby to man the phones to hear horror stories way too late and then take those problems, Gore redux against the slough of courts and
official stonewalls.

Would it have been easy and effective. Not 100%, but the lines would have been engaged, some of the fraud beat down, many people forced to be exposed, the media set off its game.

Just as Kerry went easy of the Iraq question, did not insult little Nero, and went straight up at the game in the teeth of disastrously slanted media he seemed to discount the chutzpah of the monsters in simply stealing whatever they wanted anyway they wished with total free hand, impunity and security behind the walls of the closed game.

THAT is what we see. IF another huge method was chosen, a secret method that the BFEE could ferret out through spying, it certainly is beyond my imagination to discern its effective form.

So people go from the gamut of Kerry deliberately tossing the election to the "secret plan" extreme. The first is faintly ludicrous, but the second is an invisible hope. In between is what you see, a despairing frontal assault over a swamp against a fortified jeering foe. The votes, democracy, ceded as victims before the polls even opened. SOMETIMES such crude mistakes don't stop victory, but with votes deleted at a keystroke? No effort or endeavor could ever overcome such a strategy left to its own devices.

Still, I hope. And still, if not, the fight for the REAL vote continues, with or without any champion or general. Even were it as bad as the suicide battalions of the Russian in WWI, without officers or hope. Truth will be served. It will choke the tyrant.
