the GOP and the Bush junta simply cannot afford to lose

WE NEED TO LISTEN TO THIS

By Ernest Partridge, The Crisis Papers

I have frequently been accused of being hopelessly optimistic. Perhaps so: that's what keeps me going.

But now, for those who thrive on gloom and doom - it's your turn.

Here's the very bad news: the Democrats will almost certainly lose in 2006 and again in 2008.

Three essential reasons: (a) the GOP and the Bush junta simply cannot afford to lose, (b) they can prevent their defeat no matter what the voters have to say about it (as they have in the last three elections), and (c) apparently the Democratic Party, the media, and law enforcement are unable and/or unwilling to do anything about it.

A GOP win in 2006 and 2008 seems simply inevitable: as "inevitable" as LBJ's re-election, Nixon completing his second term, and the endurance of the Soviet Union and apartheid South Africa. By this I mean that all this would have come to pass but for some extraordinary and unforeseen developments. Nothing less will budge the GOP from the White House and the Congress. After all, their "private sector" supporters count and compile the votes with secret software - and do so with no official independent means of validation. These facts about voting in the United States are publicly known and undisputed. And yet, despite compelling and unrefuted evidence of voting fraud, no one, except some determined citizen groups and a small minority of members of Congress, appear to be bothered enough to take action.

2. I'll second that. Another kick and recommend.

I like the way this is done. It's a good summary of where we're at and where we've been for those that haven't kept up on things, and is easy on the eyes for those that that are resistant to reading anything longer than a paragraph or two. I plan to make copies of it, and distribute it to friends and family. I know some of them don't follow the links I send them, but maybe if I put this in their hands, they will read it. It's worth a try.

3. Absolutely - they are thieves and few want to catch them -

Only Conyers and a few have done something. including the Greens and Libertarians and all the marvelous statisticians around the country.

I am waiting for Clinton and the other chest pounders to do something.

It is all very clear:

No republican voting machines.
No republican software.
No republican paid and/or imported technicians.
No republican corporate networks paying for THEIR exit polls.
No republican corporate networks calling of the vote (with or without Bush relatives or the GE honcho or the Australian or the Disney crowd).

We can have -
U.S. citizen voting machines.
U.S. citizen software.
U.S. citizen paid U.S.technicians.
U.S. citizen paid exit polling.
U.S. citizen paid vote calling.
U.S. citizen suppression of corporations telling us who the winners are.

We need to take the vote into our hands by making our leaders do more.

The volume of crimes by this administration is so great that citizens must do more. Conyers and his team can't do it all, especially when the thieves don't have the decency to reply to letters.

Tell me again about honor and integrity in the White House. they are T H I E V E S - in your life thieves.

4. I agree!

PAPER TRAIL, PAPER TRAIL, PAPER TRAIL.

Get on your representatives now!!! Jersey did it, so can the other states, especially Florida!

5. Well then, let's make the unforeseen and extraordinary happen.

For starters, let's all contact Congressman Conyers and ask him to invite 10, 15, 20 .... million Americans to join him in the Capitol on Labor Day.

And stay for a while - like until Bush and Cheney resign.

This is our government and all we have to do is make that fact stick.

6. These "extraordinary and unforeseen developments"...........

are hopefully in action right now. I'm probably putting too much faith in Fitzgerald's investigation, but it seems that the ever widening scope of his investigation does not bode well for the GOP.
It's quite plain that they care much more about protecting the criminal bush cabal that the safety and security of the United States of America. Trying to recover from a sinister and wholly self-absorbed situation like that would be damned near impossible.
Again, maybe I'm hoping for too much from the Plame investigation, but I see a once seemingly indestructible administration backpedaling and in serious CYA mode and disarray.

7. Thank you for posting this

These bastards are desperate and with two stolen elections what do people truly expect. They outed a CIA agent, sent our military to fight an illegal war, opted out of the Geneva Convention and the list goes on. The arrogance of these bastards is off the wall. With all the crap they have pulled (especially during the boy wonders second term) what makes us think they won't steal the 2006 election. They cannot have us undoing what they worked so hard to steal.

This is all about the war. Now that they have what they salivated over for years don't expect for them to go quietly. The taking back of our country is not going to be easy.

8. Does anyone know if the Dems use these same machines in primaries ?

I`m just curious, because Kerry was way back in polls. Then he shot up in a rather short amount of time.If I remember right

media and diebold win elections
