Greg Palast: The Steal You Won't See (his post election day thoughts)
The Steal You Won't See

The evil little ----- are doing it again.

Even as they drown in the anger of platoons of pissed-off voters, Republican operatives are swiping ballots with both hands.

Let's start in Georgia. It's here where the sick little vulture named Saxby Chambliss won the US Senate seat six years ago by calling his Democratic opponent, a guy who'd lost three limbs in Vietnam, a friend of Osama bin Laden.

There's no way in hell that Chambliss can slime his way back into the Senate in the face of over half a million newly registered voters (Black and young - 69% for Obama) without jacking them out of their votes. That's what the Republicans are up to. Right now. As we speak.

Over 50,000 the new voters in Georgia have been blocked from voting by using a nasty little new law, the Help America Vote Act signed by George Bush. (Bush is helping us vote - look out!)

4. I just cannot believe that Chambliss actually won!!
I am sure there was a lot of vote stealing in the MINN Senate race as well..

5. Hey Greg: You're OK...
...but for now, shut the fuck up. Really. Last week, you were screaming in my ear about how this election IS ALREADY STOLEN! YOUR VOTE WON'T MATTER!!!11!!

And now, you are going to start telling me about a "hidden" theft? A "secret" conspiracy, to what? un-elect Obama??

Shut the fuck up for a while, dude.

I've had enough of you for right now.

Anybody else feel this way?
