14. The "fly in the ointment" is that our Dems have NOT fixed Voting RIGHTS!
They left it up to the states to get rid of the faulty voting machines. And this is 6 years after Selection 2000...or three years after Kerry won in 2004!

How can we rely on these machines. Ohio and Florida are trying to get rid of them....yet New York State is in a battle with the US Justice Deparment that wants to enforce these machines on their voters who've had a record of the old "Lever Machines" not making mistakes.

THEY will steal 2008 just like they did '06/04'02/00! That Mouthpiece for the Right, Michael Barone, who is a Fox Fundie Mouthpiece was on CNN Booknotes twice today talking about the "49% America" where in his New Book he talks about how "close American Elections HAVE BEEN AND WILL BE! FGS...Fox's Barone is telling us they will STEAL ELECTION '08 like they STOLE THE REST! But, Barone is already "seeting the stage" by talking about "49$ America!" He's SETTING IT UP!

And what has our Dem Congress done to fix our Voting Rights Problem since 2000? They ramped through HAVA ACT...and all the OTHER VOTING REFORMS have been DOA! Which goes AGAINST WHAT CONYERS (in his Basement Hearings) and OTHERS ...Promised Us.

At least that's my assessment of what's gone on. :shrug:
