1. hope this is true

i would love for votes to count again.

[shireen]

2. thanks Brad!

in the midst of all the miserable news, that is my one light of hope.

[Quakerfriend]

3. Wow! The Repug stock brokers are really beginning to smell

the stench!

[sonias]

4. Let their stock continue to fall until it's as worthless as they are

Having Wally "I'll Deliver Ohio for Bush" O'Dell lead the company doesn't give you much confidence.

Can't wait for them to go out of business.

[Inland]

5. Diebold's bad forture is democracy's gain. nt

[Chicago Democrat]

6. OH PLEASE BE TRUE! OH PLEASE LET IT BE THIS WAY!!!

all angels and demons I pray make it be so!

[DeepModem Mom]

11. Katrina debacle, Able Danger, Diebold -- I'm with you.

Let this be the cabal's perfect storm. (And I hesitate to use the word "storm" -- why did this country require a wake-up call as tragic as Katrina before they began to see these people as they truly are?)

[nolabels]

7. Oh come on Rich White Men, kick into the diebold investment kitty

This can't be!!! We got to stop the hemorrhaging, save the republic and our posteriors:yoiks:


With our gauntlet of media assets this story must be drown out no matter what, let's start talking about what a great job our fearless leader is doing with all the storms in the gulf :applause:

[louis-t]

8. Wow! Wonder if shrub sold his stock last week.

[electropop]

9. I don't get it?

Are investors concerned that somebody will actually do something about the whistle-blower's story? How would that happen?

[nolabels]

13. Yea, good point, hardi har har, us rich guys will never get caught

:sarcasm:

[MsTryska]

20. no it's because their profits sucked again this quarter.....

i made a thread about this.

[DFWJock]

10. Ahhhhhhh

12. Walden O'Dell-"committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to

the president next year." Walden Freaking O'Dell.

Voting Machine Controversy
by Julie Carr Smyth

COLUMBUS - The head of a company vying to sell voting machines in Ohio told Republicans in a recent fund-raising letter that he is "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year."

The Aug. 14 letter from Walden O'Dell, chief executive of Diebold Inc. - who has become active in the re-election effort of President Bush - prompted Democrats this week to question the propriety of allowing O'Dell's company to calculate votes in the 2004 presidential election.

O'Dell attended a strategy pow-wow with wealthy Bush benefactors - known as Rangers and Pioneers - at the president's Crawford, Texas, ranch earlier this month. The next week, he penned invitations to a $1,000-a-plate fund-raiser to benefit the Ohio Republican Party's federal campaign fund - partially benefiting Bush - at his mansion in the Columbus suburb of Upper Arlington.

The letter went out the day before Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, also a Republican, was set to qualify Diebold as one of three firms eligible to sell upgraded electronic voting machines to Ohio counties in time for the 2004 election...

[Gloria]

14. I owned Diebold at one time....sold with a profit, before the

election crap started. I would have sold it at a loss if I held it during the election.

CREEPS

[bleever]

15. The more light that shines on this company, the better.

Great work, Brad!

:yourock:

[gasperc]

16. a nicer company couldn't be destroyed

boo fucking hoo

[mpmusicny]

17. In my wildest dreams...

...This is the precursor to a hostile takeover led by George Soros

[RandomKoolzip]

18. Compared to Scaife, Coors, and 80% of all billionaires....

...all of whom are staunch repukes, Geroge Soros is small potatoes.

Ooooh, three liberal billionaires compared to 1000 conservative ones...Should we take a look at where the funding for Heritage, AEI, Cato, etc. came from?

[The Doctor.]

30. But you must admit that would be interesting to see...

Of course if Soros did buy them out, even if he openned up the code and let the light of heaven itself shine upon the improved system, 'conservatives' by the yachtload would be screaming bloody murder over the company being owned by a 'Liberal'.

There is neither floor nor ceiling to the limits of 'conservative' hypocrisy.

[CrispyQ]

27. Now that would be one helluva GREAT DREAM!!!!

Welcome to DU, mpmusicny!!

19. Down down deeper and down

Status Quo - Down Down Lyrics

Get down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down

I want all the world to see
To see you?re laughing
And you?re laughing at me
I can take it all from you
Again again again again again again again
Deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down

I have all the ways you see
To keep you guessing
Stop your messing with me
You?ll be back to find your way
Again again again again again again again
Deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down

Get down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down

I have found out you see
I know what you're doing
What you're doing to me
I'll keep on and say to you
Again again again again again again again
Deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down

21. Profit-taking by a single large investor.

Look at the graph. That drop happened all at once. That's one large investor pulling out. Probably the RNC doing profit-taking before the shitstorm comes down. Diebold was a company built up for the singular purpose of stealing the 2000 and 2004 elections. Now that its purpose has been served, the founders are pulling their money out.

[petgoat]

26. To judge by this Yahoo graph

http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/b?s=DBD

You're right. The first trade was about $250k worth. The next trade was 160,000 shares--$6 million worth.

[bunny planet]

22. They won't need Diebold, they'll use the new National ID card as the new

method of disenfranchising voters, that and the new diaspora of Democratic African American voters who might not be able to vote in their adopted states without lots of deliberately manufactured confusion preventing it.

[YOY]

23. The Good and the Bad

The good is obvious here. We all know and are disgusted by some of Diebold's more recent actions.

Among the bad is that they employ many people. I'm sure if they are bought out or go bankrupt it won't just be the repug executives who are unemployed by this. Those assclowns can find a new job easily.

It's not really a wholehearted win. :shrug:

[Fire Walk With Me]

24. Stock values are the only "poll" that bothers these people.

Bush could be at zero approval for his entire stint and as long as the money is flowing, they don't care.

[brettdale]

25. Does Diebold have a page at yahoo's finance message boards?

Dopes Diebold have a page at yahoo's finance message boards?

[tjdee]

28. Yes, here.

[brettdale]

29. hehehehe

There are a lot of strong sells!

[BamaBecky]

31. The whole market is in trouble....n/t

[Jack Rabbit]

32. It couldn't happen to a more deserving artificial person

!!

[petepillow]

33. maybe their stock only does well in an election year?

you know how lucrative those government contracts can be...

[Kurovski]

34. Thank you and thank you again, Brad.

:thumbsup: :patriot:

[SittingBull]

35. Forget YahooCharts

36. The truth about the elections must come out.

Everything depends on it.
