2. Palast's conversation/report about 2000 was devastating |
|
Edited on Tue Oct-19-04 08:35 AM by bigtree
Talked about over 100,000 votes in Florida thrown out in 2000, mostly black voters.

4. I wish I could have taken notes |
|
but his conversation was very scary. This was his explanation for why Democrats are not showing a benefit from an advantage in registrations.

only known swing state we haven't kicked ass in is florida (we're tying the GOP there).
this is based on the news orgs. looking at official county registration numbers.
i have read about the scary stuff happening in florida, tho.

6. That was a great interview with Palast |
|
I'm surprised many here aren't talking about it. He mentioned ole Jeb being involved in obstruction of justice and a host of other endless crimes being committed against voters country wide( mainly our black voters).
I can't wait until Kerry throws down the weight of the law on all of these creeps!

How can we trust the outcome based on the shit Palast brought up this morning. I suggest everyone head over to C-Span archives and watch this very informative 45 minute interview. He brought up many things I wasn't aware of.

10. Ballots in envelopes marked Democrat or Republican |
|
I was listening to him on Randi Rhodes show and he was saying how the absentee ballots were kept in envelopes marked either "Republican" or "Democrat" (presumably for how you were registered). How convenient if you ever wanted to accidentally "lose" a pile of envelopes.

11. and lose them they are |

If you didn't watch Washington Journal this morning head over to C-Span archives. He had a few heated exchanges with some rightwing nitwits that he quickly put in their place.
