This effort follows her series opener on Obama, The Wizard of Oz. In that effort we learned that "Obama is a political psychopath." Unfortunately, we don't get any specifics directly linking Obama to any of the charges in the article; just a litany of allegations against past or present contrib
(2 comments) SHARE Progressive Democrat John Russell told Florida Democratic State Chairman Karen Thurman that "the concern is there is only one party in Florida, the money party, and you represent the Democratic side and Al Cardenas is representing the Republican side. Where do the ordinary people fit in? We only have so much time." It gets better. See the full interview.
SHARE The incompetence and fraud committed by Congress on the shutdown and debt ceiling is all ... at our expense. They will do just fine. It is we, the people who will suffer.
(4 comments) SHARE What impact will the massive destruction of evidence by Ohio counties have on the federal case charging criminal election fraud in the 2004 presidential election?

(6 comments) SHARE Missouri Activists are the first to fight back against e-voting with a state initiative to ban "the machines" and return to real paper ballots.
(11 comments) SHARE What kind of political culture is it that allows such an incredibly disingenuous and reckless statement to be made and then simply vanish without in depth consideration?
(4 comments) SHARE Electronic voting has stripped elected officials of the ability verify their own elections (even if they wanted to). It failed to address the real problems of Florida 2000 and the nation Were all these losses worth a few less than reliable, highly corruptible voting machines from third or fourth tiered technology companies? If they can't show that they were elected, do we have to obey?
(4 comments) SHARE The shocked reaction to the abrupt dismissal of eight U.S. Attorneys points to the essence of our current political problems. The broad based political reaction to the Gonzales firings contains one critical assumption: this is an aberrant act. Something terribly wrong has taken place and the political establishment rises to defend the system. The system wasn't abused so much as exposed.
(5 comments) SHARE Who would have thought that a nervous president with 25% approval cold pull off a legislative victory on warrantless surveillance? Well he did but he's in for trouble. The Blue Dog Dems and their Senate collaborators inserted an ambush provision allowing wire tapping White House phone calls and emails (satire).
SHARE In asking, who do they think they are, I'm referring to those leaders who retain the notion that the following actions are somehow in the realm of rational and actionable behavior by the United States: "I'm sending troops."
(1 comments) SHARE Believable voting: take optical scan forms filled out by voters and make the the ballot of record; have citizens hand count them in public; use the optical scans to check the hand count...all in public run by CITIZENS. Let people vote without hindrance & public fundingn of campaigns...you've got DEMOCRACY.
(4 comments) SHARE The vulgarity of Hillary's campaign created rare agreement by some in the mainstream and alternate media. Clinton's tactics are particularly vicious and her charges and sound bites appear to be an "intelligent design" for the Committee to Elect John McCain President.

Now they've done it. The Money Party road show just hit a speed bump at 90 mph and that speed bump was us. There are no more "booms" to hype. No more schemes to hook investors into the stock market. The high tech boom is dead and biotech turned into road kill thanks to a president who talks to God and believes that evolution is just "a theory."

SHARE The Long Road to Democracy is a weekly comment on election news and voting rights issues by Michael Collins. This week offers a very brief course on the contrived issue, "voter fraud," and the intense news generated by that issue in the fired Federal prosecutor scandal.
(14 comments) SHARE We've come to expect this out of the lock-step Republicans who are "made men" in the culture of death. Weren't the Democrats supposed to make a difference? It is now abundantly clear that the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party is still in the minority and that the people - Democrats, Republicans, and Independents have no party.
(2 comments) SHARE A majority of the Iraqi people (a) condone violent attacks on our troops and (b) want us out immediately. How hard is it to figure out? We want out, they want us out, "timetables" are a sham under these circumstances. Out now! Respect the will of Americans and Iraqis. Show some leadership Congress!
(3 comments) SHARE What impact will the massive destruction of evidence by Ohio counties have on the federal case charging criminal election fraud in the 2004 presidential election?

(3 comments) SHARE Take action on the latest findings that Election 2004 was a complete mess built on absurd assumptions: Bush had less rural votes in 2004 than 2000, 2 million less, but increased his big city vote share in 2004 by over 150%. He won it through "big city" vote gains. Give us a break!!! If they say 'get over it,' say: "A three year old major crime is always news until it's solved."
(9 comments) SHARE The will of the people, expressed through free and fair elections, should be the foundation of our country. WHO WILLED that the president lie us into a war that creates rather than eliminates terrorists? WHO WILLED that the White House order government scientists to suppress the truth about everything from new medicines to global warming, scientists supported by our tax dollars?
SHARE The Bush-Cheney White House is responsible for the birth of a new constitutional doctrine. Bush has elevated himself to become a judiciary of one. When the president signs legislation passed by Congress, he frequently adds his own signing statement stating those legislative provisions he intends to ignore based on his interpretation of the Constitution. This caused the New York Times to note, "President Bush doesn't bother..
SHARE The best links of the week - articles on election fraud, voter suppression, and voting processes. This is the second part of The Long Road to Democracy weekly news service, published every Monday.
SHARE U.S. Attorney Iglesias didn't do much prosecuting for "voter fraud" in 2004, nor did he do much election fraud investigating and prosecuting either. Voter fraud occurred at a rate of 24 cases between 2002 and 2006. This type of fraud is an individual act and, in the aggregate, is a non event impacting an immeasurably small fraction of the vote. U.S. Attorney's, some even trained on vote fraud by Iglesias...
SHARE The main attraction was a panel discussion which included with hard right activist Grover Norquist. For political junkies, this offered the prospect of a NASCAR moment – you know a big crack up over the scam concept of voter fraud involving a riled up Norquist and a passionate voting rights activist. It didn't happen. The hall reeked of civility. More on that later.
SHARE Pre-Certification Swearing in by Hastert Terminates All State Legal Authority Over Elections The People's House is now the Speaker's House. "If they can do that, they can do anything. Why even have an election? They could just swear in whoever they want because the election need not be final." - Paul Lehto, Attorney for Plaintiffs Aug. 25, 2006

(4 comments) SHARE USA Internet news provider Citizens for Legitimate Government (Lori Price) was one of the few to get the DC Madam's phone numbers. Bloggers using the site got Vitter's number. ABC had these numbers for a week and came up with "nothing much of interest." How about that. Internet news providers are proving the model on a major story. Congratulations.
(13 comments) SHARE Kucinich struck another blow for democracy by challenging the restrictive loyalty oath required by the Texas Democratic Party to get on the primary ballot. He actually reads the contracts he signs. When presented with the loyalty oath required to run as a Democrat in the Texas primary, Kucinich prudently edited the document to reflect the requirements of free citizens living in a democracy:
SHARE We've endured seven years of cascading failures from 911 to Iraq enabled by rigged elections and supported by a decadent set of politicians who lack the will to even fight for themselves.
(1 comments) SHARE This week we honor the Kansas City Star, that fine McClatchy newspaper in Kansas City, Missouri. Thanks to a heads up from Missouri activist Phil Lindsay, we have a wonderful narrative on the US Attorney scandal in Western Missouri.
