Isn't it ironic?
The media and our dear president are declaring the vote in Iraq today as great success in democracy, no matter how much of a sham they really are. And at the same time, here in our own country, we no longer have free and fair elections. We have a group of cultists, as Seymour Hersh has called them, who have taken over and have no intention of letting go of the reigns of power.

1. The 2008 election is going to be the most interesting election ever.
To put it mildly.

If the voting machines don't have a verifiable paper ballot by then, we can look forward to more war.

2. Even the Ukrainian Supreme Court could see through their
sham of an election. Since about half our country didn't even vote.... and 58 million I consider sheeple..... I really don't know if we even have a chance.

3. who needs oil wells when there's gushers in every media organization?
bush discovered that that's what people like bob schneider and sean hannazi and don imus and so on are, they're gushers, literally! (only they don't gush oil, which we could use!)

4. WHY bother with the facts when you have propaganda?
Edited on Sun Jan-30-05 05:26 PM by ultraist
Isn't that the reoccuring theme we see within the Bush cult?

WHO cares if it was a sham. A sham CAN equate to a success if we choose to disregard the facts.
