Reply #1: Such excruciating irony and betrayal--the blind telling the rest of us we

[Peace Patriot]

can't have a paper receipt or ballot because that somehow bars THEIR way to voting*--with them supporting rightwing Bushite corporations like Diebold and ES&S, while it was the progressive left in this country that recognized THEIR rights to dignity and full citizenship and acted to insure them, NOT Wally O'Dell and Howard Ahmanson and their bought and paid for fascist politicians.

I'm so burned by this. I have always supported minority rights, including the rights of the disabled. This is what I get for thanks--a wholly corrupted and non-transparent election system, run by Bushites.

I'm ready to throw corrupt groups like the NFB and the AAPD right out on their tax exempt asses, and demand all that tax money back.

*(This unreasonable argument can only be the result of corruption--that there is a conflict between disabled access and TRANSPARENT elections. The conflict was COOKED UP by Tom Delay, Bob Ney, Diebold and ES&S IN ORDER TO CORRUPT our election system, in cahoots with NFB, AAPD and others. Big money changed hands. It's very clear.)

From the article:

"The National Federation of the Blind and American Association of People with Disabilities opposed the paper-record requirement during hearings. Both groups, which received money from voting machine companies in the past, contend new machines would not accommodate disabled individuals."

I hope the disabled wake up before the Bush junta steals their disability funds--if they haven't already--and rescinds their hardwon human rights, which the junta doesn't give a crap about. What idiots! But then, who among us isn't being !@#$%-ed over by corrupt leadership these days? It's not likely the fault of the rank and file.
