Let's Shed Some Media Light on the Growing Election Stink

[BayStateBoy]

The following is one of my messages to various media. Free to anyone:

The mainstream news media have been spoon fed a new word by Bush/Rove. That word is "evangelical," and they are babbling it to the exclusion of some very real issues impacting Democracy and the Bush Presidency.

The second Bush/Rove pabulum is the mythical Bush "mandate," also being belched along with the evangelical pill. Meanwhile, no one seems to entertain the possibility that the Bush "mandate" may mostly be an Electoral WMD.

The first message from Election 2004 is that BBV or any voting method not leaving a permanent paper trail that can be audited is undemocratic and un-American. They must be banished from the American landscape forever.

The second message is the history of American voting is both a history of recounts and a history of rigged elections. If there were widespread fraud it occurred in the Bush Family Fiefdom of Florida, which despite the "hurricane votes" Kerry should have won or at least come within a razor thin margin. That Jeb Bush has been "busy" assuring no chad recounts is not the product of conspiracy theorizing, it is just plain common sense.

The third message is that exit polls are always within 2% of voting tallies and no amount of media spin makes election 2004 an exception. Kerry had a 97.7% probability of winning Ohio and a 93.5% probability of winning Florida. Also when was the last time an incumbent President with an approval rating of less than 50% won reelection?

Those who persist in denying the validity of the exit polls need to explain the following: (1) Exit polling statistically correlated with voting tallies in every state except those using BBV or electronic machine combinations. (2) In every case of discrepancy, G.W. Bush was the recipient of extra votes (5%-7%) and NEVER John Kerry. Why?

The fourth message is that no amount of White House or media spin can stop the miasma of stench that is beginning to pervade results in Ohio and Florida. This will linger and foul the second term. Overturning the election is not the issue. Truth is the issue which is something that most journalists and media seem to have abandoned years ago.

And lastly, we have a president already regarded as illegitimate by 1/2 the people who is reelected in an election increasingly tainted with allegations of fraud. To those people he will forever remain illegitimate. Bush may rule 1/2 the country but he can never govern.

2. I've been mailing and e-mailing since I first heard of this.

I rewrite my letter every two days with updates. I will not go quietly into this goodnight!

3. Well put.

It has a nicely civil edge of anger to it.
