Forget the recounts. Throw the damn thing out.
Who can trust these crooks? They've been tampering all along. I don't trust for one minute that the election records are legitimate. We shouldn't waste all the time and money recounting so they can stage a "told ya so" moment. The lawyers should just demand it be thrown out.

1. i don't think it can really be 'thrown out'
that would disenfranchise the entire state.

it's either a recount, a revote (which is definately unlikely) or proof of fraud somehow.

2. I think the recount is just an excuse to really check out the public recor
ds they keep trying to cover up.

Kind of like scaring a herd of buffalo so they all run into a ravine.

3. Was it 10 000 of them standing by? It is insane.
Knowing about the machines, and about a number of elections being questionable since the one in 2000, how did the Democrats allow this to happen? I say it again. I will not vote again til I know it is a clean election.
Talked to a friend in Germany today, he asked why the few in this country who know what happened are not marching!
I wonder, too.

4. I think they were mostly waiting on a leader. Kerry coming out for
investigations into the machines, ballots, etc. and more coverage about this tomorrow along with the Arnebeck lawsuit could help the cause for more marches and protests! Kerry finally coming up to the plate will definitely help motivate more people because if they feel that Kerry believes there's fraud, then they will be more willing to help. I could be wrong though, I'm just mostly speculating.... :hi:

5. you're not wrong...
If Kerry comes out...a LOT of Democrats who've been licking their wounds thinking the same thoughts in solitary silence, will suddenly feel part of a big movement of protest....

If the right chemistry is struck tommorow...we could see a LOT of more people joining the fraud movement..

I read that Zogby found that 42% find validity to the fraud charges, and the mainstream media hasn't been on board...imagine what will happen when they do!

Prepare for Ukraine, folks!

8. Carol, you speak my lingo***
Thats what should have been done in the first place.

Perhaps that's what we'll see if citizens keep refusing to accept the bread crumbs.

No doubt, we need to keep bringing it up.

Thank you for bringing it up tonight.

9. We share your sentiments..
But remember 4 years ago? We didn't even get a recount then, in Florida. We've come a long way, baby. In all my years, I can't recall even one state ever recounting the presidential vote, yet, here we are; Ohio is about to take another look.

At this point, we've all got to send good vibes to our compatriots in Ohio who are participating in the recount, and hope they find the dirt and turn the numbers around, if it is found those numbers should be turned.

Yeah, kicking the whole damned thing would be best, but let's not lose sight of the historic nature of the events we are about to see unfold.

Kerry On!
