It's astounding. Around the blogosphere and around the Sunday morning talk show the message is being laid down. "Keep the lawyers out of it", they are screaming. Amazing the cahones these jokers have. Guess which side spent more money on lawyers in the 2000 election? Keep the lawyers out of the election? Sure! You lay down the weapons first. And while you're at it, stop your voter registration fraud. Then maybe we'll talk about lawyers.
Morons.
And listening to Jeb Bush on This Week was pretty entertaining. Apparently the new line from Bush/Cheney to the American voter is: "You're a low grade moron if you can't vote correctly". George Will repeated the same thing. Clearly, the strategy is to push the "personal responsibility" line.
Just to be clear, the Republicans are pledging to keep their own lawyers out of the election, and if there are any problems with the vote count, it's your own damn fault.
What a bunch of aqua maroons.
They're a bunch of lying bastards as well. Guess whose keeping the lawyers in it by appealing the ruling last week from a Federal Judge here in Toledo forcing Ken Blackwell to honor provisioinal balloting as mandated under the new federal voting rights act -- you guessed it, Ohio's own Republican Secretary of State, Ken Blackwell.
He's actually going to try and declare the voting rights act unconstitutional, at least in Ohio and six surrounding States under the jurisdiction of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, just in time for the election but with no chance the Supreme Court can review it in time.
I hate these guys. Jack Nickolson said that if I "can't handle the truth," I should "man a post." My post? I'm going to have to stake out a polling center, armed with video and a fully charged cell phone -- the new front line to save democracy.
Your, Mark. Yet another Sheister.
It's going to be an interesting time to be alive. We need as much audio/video as we can muster for future historians.
Wounded animals, backed into a corner. That's the image we should have of these guys. Maybe rabid, wounded animals is a better image. I like the addition of the frothing at the mouth which I constantly see from their supporters.
7,000 San Franciscans "voted" for Lester Maddox (Pickaxe-Ga.) in the presidential election of 1976. Maddux later succumbed to the AIDS virus, purportedly the result of a contaminated blood transfusion.
John Kerry will win this thing, going away. By the time the polls close on the west coast, California will be the icing on the cake.
Let's hope.
