I don't know if Rep. John Conyers would be pursuing voting steals if he could --

hard to know because I've never heard Pelosi or Reid talk about computer steals, 2000

steal -- anything like it! What I have heard Pelosi say is that the Dems were elected

in '06 -- see video - to end the war! That was the day after the election!

Only 6 weeks or so ago, Pelosi was telling us we'd have a Public Option. So, who's telling

lies and who is really in charge?

Re voting -- in order to have any real options beyond the two party tyranny, we need IRV

voting which would give us the opportunity to vote first, second, third place candidates -

without having a spoiler effect. But, clearly the Democratic Party has already made attempts

to co-opt the Green Party. It's been turned back to some degree and at the moment the Greens

aren't a big threat. But should things head up again, the infiltration will begin again.



Coming back to the issue of the computers . . .

We not only have the individual voting computers which are of course HACKABLE --

but we also had the LARGE computers used by MSM come in during the mid-1960's.

Up to that time, MSM could only report actual vote totals. They did have the occasional

discussion about the likelihood of which way a county might go, but that was pretty much it.

There were polls which could be referred to, as well --

But the LARGE computers gave them new power -- power to PREDICT elections -- and then the

power to CALL elections for candidates and the power to PREDICT electoral votes and CALL

states for presidents.

In 2000, we simply saw them take those powers and reverse them ... RECALLING Florida from

Gore and later CALLING Florida for Bush!

This is just more reason why, IMO, we need to put the TVs in the closet --

bar their advertisers from any profit. If we're going to be propagandized by the right

wing, let them pay for it!!
