Maybe the GOP wll hire Jack Abramoff to head the Organized Crime unit or Mark Foley to run the Vice unit of the DOJ. In-fucking-credible. These people are beyond shameless.

He's not monitoring the voting results. He's monitoring what gets reported about the voting results.

WHY WON'T THEY STOP FUCKING WITH US?!

Ahem. Sorry. Tense week.

I thought that the term "Civil rights" had gotten a 500-yard restraining order against Baron Von Spassovsky.

*He's not monitoring the voting results. He's monitoring what gets reported about the voting results.*

And my point was that apparently someone expects to see a difference between the results and the report on the results.

There's only so much time in a day, but someone like Henry Waxman should probably begin to make someone's life difficult over this.

Yeah, orwell. Too bad that your candidate, the deserter, lost the election by a half million votes in 2000 and will never be considered a legitimate President.

Is that the guy who blocked all of the military absentee ballots in Florida?

Nobody blocked all the military absentee ballots in Florida. Gore tried to disqualify those sent after the deadline.

But you knew that.

I'm disappointed that lawsuits etc. about this vote-suppression stuff didn't have more effect.

nice try jeffrey d. but the sad truth is that truth matters not to orwell and his ilk

Jeffrey, I don't know about "Orwell" but you might be surprised, how many dittoheads literally believe the crude smear propaganda that gets fed to them. Remember, they are such "incurious" people and don't really want to know the details. Of course, it's not just a partisan gripe because that sort of ignorant attitude reduces our national effectiveness and increases the risk of stupid/dangerous actions committed by those "leaders" such sub-sapients elect (or position close enough to being elected to have the win stolen for them, heh.)

Yea mudwall but we have to slap down lying sacks of shit as soon as they rear their ugly heads.

No one who has read the inane drivel that weak-minded, ignorant, neo-brownshirt mental slaves like Orwell have posted on this site on a regular basis for years would be the least bit surprised.

As Kevin notes in his brief comment, the CheneyBush gang attempted to steal the 2000 presidential election in Florida through deliberate fraud before the election ever occurred, when tens of thousands of eligible African-American Democratic voters were deliberately disenfranchised by being falsely identified as "felons" who were ineligible to vote.

However, this criminal conspiracy failed, as the recounts demonstrated that when every legally cast ballot was counted in accordance with long-established Florida election law, Al Gore was still the winner by a small margin.

That's why it was necessary for the CheneyBush gang to turn to corrupt, partisan hacks on the Supreme Court who violated their oaths of office in order to halt the recounts and hand the White House to Bush.

The 2000 election was a "bloodless coup" -- though of course plenty of blood flowed later, both in the streets of New York and in Iraq, as a direct consequence of the CheneyBush gang's seizure of power.

The fact is that Bush has never been the legitimately elected president of the United States of America.

As a voter who was purged from Florida's rolls in 2000, I'd like to comment on this.
I hope that every Republican who has benefitted from the Bush Crime Family's actions has an "opportunity" to work on their character from within prison walls.
And I would hope that they would be made available to all of the "romantic" opportunities that reside within.
Thank you for your time.

This is sad, but isn't it generally understood by now that this is a given? Any Bush appointee to any Federal department or agency is there to pervert or exploit the purpose of said agency. It can be either willful or indirect, but that always seems to be the common factor.

Nice choice! Gotta hand it to George and Dick, their STILL working on YOU. Shouldda IMPEACHED.--(Nan @1-202-225-0100)

In connection with voting and redistricting reform, I believe you've always argued that this sort of thing doesn't really matter. Why the long face now?
