It looks like Rove has his work cut out for him,the DoJ turned down the president's request that they look into forcing a review of those 200,000 newly registered (Dem) voters in Ohio.And,nationwide,a number of the GOP's attempts at vote suppression have been slapped down by various courts,as Zachary Roth reports for TPM.No reason for complacency,because with Karl in charge,& with the US press the way it is,you never know.

Adding Insult to Injury:The Bush regime(in league with the Pentagon?)has been doing all it can to block the military vote,since "our troops" mostly don't support McBush, whose record on the troops' & veterans' benefits,etc.,has been dismal.So we've seen the VA try to keep their hospitalized troops and vets from registering to vote; and here we see that, this time,there's no effort to enable those at war to cast their ballots.

Now,let us not forget that other sages from Inside The Beltway said the same four years ago.I recall distinctly Sidney Blumenthal's pre-E-Day think-piece laying out the reasons why W was going to lose to Kerry.But Obama's way more popular than Kerry, and McPalin's way less popular than Bush.Thus a startling turnabout this time will raise a lot more eyebrows,& raise them a lot higher,than in 2004.Still no time for complacency.
SHARE Monday, October 27, 2008 50,000 voters purged in Georgia
This is an amazing display of media obfuscation of a large story coming
out of Georgia. Headlined as,"Some voters 'purged' from voter rolls"a few paragraphs down, the reader learns what CNN means by "some":"50,000"!Eight days until electoral meltdown, when the media will gloss over the
national debacle and paint it all as a smooth day for the world's greatest
democracy.

From a listener:I heard your interview this morning with Amy Goodman, and was thoroughly depressed and enraged.I had, of course, known about vote tampering,but had not known the breadth of the facts. All of this has left me feeling suffocated, overpowered.I have been working steadily as a volunteer for the Obama campaign--and feel at a loss. What on earth can the average voter do? Read on for Miller's response.

If you missed Bill Moyers' Journal Friday night, here's the video and transcript of his interview with Prof. Mark Crispin Miller, who talks about the upcoming election, ACORN, vote suppression and what we can do about it.
SHARE Thursday, October 9, 2008 Tell John McCain to FIRE MIKE CONNELL!
Mike Connell,whom Spoonamore has named as Karl Rove's top election fixer,has been trying desperately to forestall a deposition in OH,using an expensive troika of GOP lawyers to quash the subpoena ordering him to sit down,under oath,and answer questions about how he helped Bush/Cheney "win" since FL 2000.And Connell is now working for McCain, once more putting his peculiar talents at the service of the GOP in six swing states!

Ross Miller, Nevada SoS, is not a Republican, but a Democrat--which complictes the story.That is,the raid on ACORN would appear to represent a blow against Obama by the centrist or Old Guard Democratic apparatus in the state.That machine supported Hillary Clinton in the primary some months ago. To get some sense of how her angriest supporters feel about the raid on ACORN, check out what they're posting at her website.
SHARE Thursday, October 9, 2008 Palin's ties to terrrorism
Yes, Sarah Palin (who is busy attacking Obama/Ayers)is linked closely with the AIP--even though she claims to "love America"(and notwithstanding the McCain Team's loud denials that she was a member of that outfit).Anyone who wants to see the video of Dexter Clark,AIP vice chair,telling a whole roomful of secessionists about the governor's prior membership,and her successful "infiltration" of the GOP,should go right here:
SHARE Tuesday, October 7, 2008 Where's Rachel (Maddow)?
I was disappointed tonight that you neglected to let viewers on your new show know that voter purges in 20 states,including FL,are taking place.Why this silence?It's as if someone over you has told you not to mention anything about such purges, or the many problems with the electronic voting machines(reported in a recent GAO report),or any of the countless other GOP tactics being used to disenfranchise new & current voters.

Here, in this shattering new interview, Stephen Spoonamore goes into harrowing detail about the Bush regime's election fraud, past, present and--if we don't spread the word right now--to come. Since he's the only whistle-blower out there who knows the perps themselves, and how they operate, we have to send this new piece far and wide.

This alarmist jive is not an earnest warning. It's pre-propaganda, laying down a terroristic story-line that will be very useful if and when McPalin steals the race, and people (of all colors) dare to protest over it. Then the cops--and military personnel--will crack down hard, for "our" protection.
SHARE Saturday, September 20, 2008 BushCo wants to PRIVATIZE the Inauguration Route!
There will be heavily armed battalions of police--& probably contingents of the National Guard, and maybe other troops as well-on hand to hit the protesters with gas and riot sticks and rubber bullets. And,if BushCo has its way with these "new regulations,"all such violence will take place somewhere far away from the Inauguration Route,which the regime now wants to privatize.Say NO as loud as possible,and spread the word!
(13 comments) SHARE Thursday, September 18, 2008 Why they chose Sarah Palin and what to do about it
While all of those activities are crucial, they'll amount to nothing if the race is finally rigged, and most Americans don't know a thing about it. And so, whatever else we're doing, we must also speak out loud and clear about that possibility. Otherwise, if that disaster should befall us, we will be as much to blame for it as those Republicans who pulled it off, and all those Democrats who let them get away with it.

It is a case of vast historical importance, not just because of what it will reveal about US elections since 2000, but, no less, because it represents the only way that we might actually prevent another stolen race this fall. By shining a bright light, at last, on all the topmost perpetrators of the fraud thus far, this suit will drive them all into defensive mode and, therefore, out of business.

I am not a Democrat or a Republican, but an Independent dedicated to the promise of American democracy as envisioned by Tom Paine. I believe, with him, that the right to vote is the basis on which all our other rights depend. And so the issue here is ultimately not the victory or defeat of either party, but the people's right to choose their government, and thereby live, and rule, in freedom.

Friends,please help him raise the funds he needs to file for this fall's House race in FL's 24th Congressional district.He only needs $2000!Not too much to ask for such a patriot,who's done so much to spread the word about BushCo's election fraud--despite the interference,and/or non-cooperation, of both parties.Help Clint run against Tom Feeney,& maintain his struggle for an honest voting system in the Sunshine State,& beyond.

This decision was supposed to come in June, but Roberts et al.didn't want to wait that long.Why?Perhaps because they want the law in place when IN Dems turn out to (try to) vote in their primary on May 6 (next Tuesday). And certainly because they want to give the GOP in other states a chance to ram through laws like IN's.(There are already similar laws in several other states.They aren't as strict as IN's so maybe now they can

Neither her supporters nor the watchdogs of the media seem to care at all about exactly how she pulled it off--or rather,to be more precise,how it may well have been pulled off for her.As the piece below reminds us,the voting system in PA is eminently hackable,and completely unverifiable; and there were mammoth problems yesterday,all day,throughout Obama-friendly districts.Election monitors tried to call the hotline,no answer

Martin is US Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama--appointed by
Bush/Cheney on 9/29/01 (and one of those not fired for non-cooperation); and then deployed by Karl Rove to nail Don Siegelman. Look at what she did to this guy.
