Electronic voting results for 2008 released early!
Guilliani narrowly defeated Clinton in another election squeaker! Clinton's seemingly unbeatable lead early in the voting was overcome as results from the west and midwestern states rolled in. While Clinton garnered all electoral votes from states without electronic voting, Guilliani overwhelmingly won those who had it. Karl Rove explained the phenomena as normal because democrats don't know how to use electronic voting machines. Though he won by only 1/10th of a percent, Guilliani says the election was a mandate for republicans to invade Iran, and maybe CHina!






(you smile, but what if it happens.........again?)

1. Totally possible. That's the hell of it. But what makes you think that Hillary
Clinton is not the "made candidate" in our current situation? She seems to me just as capable of invading Iran, pushing through a military Draft, and letting the war profiteers and global corporate predators continue to fuck us over, as Guilliani is, or even the present junta. What makes you think she's not PART of the junta? It's called "good cop/bad cop." I keep hoping for better, but I never see it. She might be a better manager than Bush (of course, the gophers in my back yard would be better managers than Bush--and that may be the point, Bushites loot and destroy, Clintonites consolidate those gains, but make it look somewhat better), and she might throw a few sops to the peasants, slave laborers and cannon fodder, but NOTHING she has said or done, and NOTHING the war profiteering corporate news monopolies have said or done, points to her being the least threat to the predatory interests who have seized our government and our vote counting system; au contrare, she seems made to order to consolidate their huge gains under Bush and three--count 'em, three--lapdog Congresses, and to blockade any significant reform.

This is not an "R" vs. "D" thing, in my opinion. It's a global corporate predators vs. the American people thing.

Also, I think the most serious menace of electronic voting, run on 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY programming code, owned and controlled by rightwing Bushite corporations, with virtually no audit/recount controls, and controlling more than 80% of the nation's votes, may be in the PRIMARIES, not the general election.

2. Change the names
And it is dejavu all over again.

Are we gonna let it happen.... again? Looks that way. Not nearly enough people know any better, or they just don't care that Kerry won in 2004. It seems we've gotten over it, just like we were told too.
