Olbermann and Jesse Jackson punching away at Ohio fraudulent voting |
|
A group from Boston is asking the Ohio Supreme Court to order a re-vote tomorrow.
Who knows? It could go either way - but if appealed, it would go to the whole Ohio Supreme Court, they are 5 republicans and two democrats.
And Jesse is in there punching - as is Keith Olbermann.
Olbermann on MSNBC deserves our major support - please e mail him.
He's not only the one honest journalist (and he isn't even that, he's a sports writer) but a very very brave man.

kEITH,
has anyone told you that you are a true patriot?
Apparently the only one in all of the media -
know that you are much appreciated and admired.

he sounded all talked out. Looks like he was appearing on any radio or television show that would have him in the last couple of days.
I think he's not 100 percent up to speed on the numbers thing... see, you can't talk numbers and get people to understand en masse, in general.

10. He's being mocked by many people. |
|
I have great respect and admiration for the man, I always have. He's willing to take on the causes, that while not politically popular, affect the average American person.
I hate to see him bad mouthed so callously.

16. then he should take great pride in that! As Brokaw says, the Crossfire |
|
guys love to dish it out, but Jon Stewart showed that they cannot take legitimate criticism of their own behavior.

5. Jessie appeared fine to me. And I'm glad to see him out there speaking |
|
his mind (and I'm sure you're glad to see him out talking too) He's just one of the 1st Democrats actually out there speaking up about voting fraud. This voting fraud and election stealing is WRONG. I don't give a damn if it's Republicans or Democrats doing it, it's still WRONG and I want the President that is actually elected by the people (same goes for Senators, Congressman and ect.) This is bullshit and our country is in a Dicatorship with Bush being the top dic. I THINK ALL HELL IS GETTING READY TO CUT LOOSE!!!!!

7. Ladybug - I hope you're right "all hell ..." but |
|
I doubt it.
Jesse is right on point. He's wondering where the candidate (Kerry) is or a major democrat speaking out. So right on Jesse.
Meanwhile Chris Matthews has been asking guests do they think this election is stolen?
Not doing an Olbermann, but at least gingerly and (cowardly) sticking his toe in the muddy water.
Do we want to encourage him by sending him emails...telling him to get on the ball, show some balls, and do a little research on the "over-voting " Bush received in Ohio and Florida ?

No, I just thought he was losing his voice, that his throat was all scratchy. I do wish he wouldn't talk numbers, though, but I'm so happy he's lending his voice, hoarse or not, to the cause.
Way back when, gee, early 80s was it, I was really into the "Rainbow Coalition." I was too young to vote at the time, but I would've voted for him. We sure can use his leadership now.

8. Jesse is more up than the rest of America! |
|
Remember that because of the MSM 94% of Americans think that Bush won fair and square.
The huge majority of Democrats that I talk to are not up to speed on any of this fraud/suppression stuff.

It takes geat courage to swim against the stream ... and he's always willing to lead the charge. Sadly, not many are.
Being a leader appears to be a much more rigorous task than it used to be.

I hope that man, Blackwell, is very well remembered when re-election comes up again. If anyone needs to lose his job, it's that man. What a slime ball!!

15. THERE WILL NOT BE A RE-VOTE |
|
Didn't anyone learn anything in 2000? There wont even be a manual recount as the margin of victoty will be well above the threshold required for a manual recount. This margin will be somewhere north of 120,000 votes.
It's over.

Victoty? Ohhhh, you mean victory. Yes, we did learn something in 2000: Don't quit till all the votes are counted. Twice.
They will be counted twice this time if we little folks have our way. And isn't that the way America is; That we the people have the final say?
As for the margin... who can say until the vote is recounted? Don't tell me you already know, no one does. Your'e over the line, Snivi, way over the line. Just quit.

18. What I learned from 2000 is that if you don't fight, they steal bigger |

next time. Re-vote is the goal - whether we get it or not. Ukraineans got it. BREAKING: Ukraine Parliament Brings Down Government over Election Fight http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/120204Z.shtmlSurrendering and becoming them sure won't gain us anything.
