10. That's Not Fair
The Fearless Congressional Dems will stop at nothing, nothing, to ensure that Americans have free and fair elections!

5. What kind of question is that?
What do you want people here to say? That we'll rise up in the streets start a violent revolution? That's not only against DU rules, it's against the law. A thread like this only sets people up to be banned.

7. As of now the media is reporting the meltdown of the GOP.
If the election results mysteriously turned out the opposite and the Republicans
kept both houses then I would think more than the Democratic leadership would
have something to say.
If the Repubs can fuzzy the race before November then they could pull off another
fraudulent election. I don't think with the public mood what it is that a bald faced
election theft would be a good idea for the little bastards right now.

12. I expect NBC, ABC and the NYT to report it. The rest will follow suit
when they realize the ratings bonanza that these three news media giants have uncovered with their stories about election fraud.

In 2004, no one would report on it, because they all believed Rove's lies that he was going to give them unlimited media mergers. Now, they have been burned, NBC, the NYT and most recently ABC (the shame of The Path to 9/11---this is why ABC broke the Foley scandal).

CBS/Viacom, CNN-AOL/TimeWarner, FOX are all firmly in Rove's pocket and would not report election fraud voluntarily, but if NBC and ABC do it first, CBS and CNN they will too. FOX will cover it to try to debunk it.

The WaPo will get on board if the NYT does. Gotta compete for those Pulitzers.

The LATimes will cover it to piss off their new bosses who are kissing WH ass by trying to gut their own best newspaper's own investigative journalism staff in order to curry favor with the FCC which has them by the balls over the fact that they are in violation of FCC rules (they own an LA newspaper and TV station). (Damn, that sounds like an episode of Dallas!)

13. They just need to be honest.
And have the courage to state what happened to the world. They need to state that democracy in america has ended. That is their obligation, period. The rest will follow.

16. Pull another Charley Brown like the last three elections.......
Remember the black congressional caucus standing up one by one and begging just ONE "Democratic" Senator to support their objection to the last election theft.

We live in a totalitarian state. Until Climate Change kills millions of Americans instead of thousands don't expect that to change.

17. I don't think this many different pollsters are wrong, and the trend is
too persuasively Democratic to make the midterm elections "stealable."

Ken Blackwell, as Ohio's elections official, is running so far behind his Democratic opponent Ted Strickland, that a Blackwell "win" would be instantly questioned.

The GOP has lost this election of its own volition, and not even magic polling machines can save them.
