Is Kerry-Edwards campaign even looking into vote discrepancies?
There are so many tels about these e-machines and optical scan machines and numbers being reversed, etc. I feel less confidence about this election than the last one.

Not to call anyone in particular out, but since there are people within the K/E campaign who read here from time to time, could you tell us if they are at least looking into this stuff?

1. There's been nothing definitive about their strategy...
...or lack of a fucking strategy.

3. I believe Elizabeth Edwards said right here at DU they're looking at it.

7. Yes, I'm sure they are weighing...
...the political advantages and disadvantages of being seen to 'not work with the President'.

No doubt, they will go through the same calculation they used when they voted for the IWR.

Yes, I'm dispirited this morning.

10. I'm doing a lot of talking with local Democrats and Greens this week
From talking, to organizing, to some kind of action.

I've never been sold out by my local party -- just the national one.

4. Some things are better done quietly
Don't assume that just because you haven't heard it on the news, that nothing is being done. Why tip their hand?

5. I seriously doubt it...
but then again, things do seem strangely quiet.

But that might just be because they're packing up their bags and clearing out their offices.

6. They had better be.
I've said it before I will say it again. BBV Fraud is FACT not fiction. Those that were around here during the 02 races remember the kinky crap that went on in Georgia and Texas and God only know whereever else. If something is not done now...then it is all over for us. We no longer choose our leaders, decide what initiatives or propositions that get passed. They have their mandate alright, delivered to them by well...them.

Hear me now. I will be finished. No volunteering, no donations, no word of mouth, no nothing. Democracy is dead.

13. So what would you suggest they do?

Come out screaming and ranting like Randi Rhodes? She can do it but Kerry can not right now.

NOT

When they speak, it must be overwhelming and pure.

They must provide a PLAN for a new beginning.

Will they do it? I pray they will.

Until I hear from them, in my view, loyal Democrats need to either DO something productive or just wallow in their sorrow.

We should never wallow!

Democrat starts with a D because we are the " Do Good" party.
We believe in doing the right thing, what's fair and justice.

I will never give up the "D" for anything.

14. wink*, good rant
it is quiet

i wouldnt normally hold onto to quiet as, they are doing something

but.....this quiet does feel like they must be doing something, because it doesnt feel like a licking of the wound quiet. they would at least come out and talk about the future i would think, if they were doing nothing

so at a guess, and not having a clue, this odd quiet feels more like they are exploring.

does that better explain what i am saying. i watched the theft on election night, i know kerry had the numbers earlier, i see all the fraud and suppression. gonna say your post was more for someone else

15. Elizabeth Edwards quote from a question pertaining to election
fraud yesterday:

Elizabeth Edwards

"And as for voter fraud, we are still piecing together the same stuff you are piecing together. I know that the two candidates had been assured that everything was in place -- and there was certainly a lot of visibility. I can't yet blame the people in the field who I believe were working hard to stop the election from being stolen. I don't think -- even in our frustration (and no one is more frustrated than we are) -- that we can say "the Democratic leaders did NOTHING to prevent the election being stolen." "

Do not have current link--it's on the second thread for E.E.

16. Obviously, anything posted here can be seen by anyone
including the Republicans. So I think it is smart of those investigating to say very little about their progress. That doesn't mean that little progress is being made. It takes time to line up the ducks.

17. "The Sounds of Silence"....Hello Darkness, my old friend...
I have to say...the hours are ticking away, and nobody's calling for any recounts. The lawyers aren't getting court orders to impound any machines or cards. I don't hear of any witnesses giving depositions. I haven't heard of any "whistleblowers" being rounded up.

THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING!!



There's one Representative in Florida who has called (Peter Goss's) FBI squad in....(the SAME FBI who silenced Sibel Edmonds, the SAME FBI that "repositioned" the chief investigator in the Valerie Plame case because he was doing too good a job) .. saying that he had PROOF that the election was fraudulent and could prove it, and could also prove the 2002 election was fraudulent.

WHY, then, am I not feeling real secure that the FBI is on the case?

It's just that the Rove machine has had all the time in the world to clean up their mess, while the people that are supposed to be WATCHING OUR BACKS are ..... well, kind of MIA.

It has been one week tomorrow since the election theft. The fabulous DU researchers, and the incredible BBV team, are ALL OVER THIS!! And the media has been "locked down" in regards to any reporting about the fraud.

Faith is defined as believing in something you cannot see. My biggest problem is, my eyes don't lie to me as often as my "believing" does.
