Time to vote (if you're lucky)


If you listened to Democracy Now on Monday morning, you heard about the types of subterfuge the Republicans are using to suppress the vote.

They are using robo-calls, automated calling, to annoy people. The calls begin by having you believe they are being sponsored by the Democrats. The idea is to annoy people into not voting, particularly Democrats. WTF, this is what our taxpayer money pays Karl Rove to do. He approves these scams to rip off the vote. The calls continue through the night. Where in the hell is justice? Is this America?

The list goes on however and includes flyers that state that the election is being held on Wednesday instead of Tuesday, scams involving calling people that owe on parking tickets and saying they will be arrested if they show up to vote. Welcome to Democracy in America.

The Republican record on the other hand is ripe with fraud, debauchery, pedophiles, the worst Congressional record in recent history, a bogus occupation that is draining the blood out of America, and legislation that hands the President dictatorial powers. I can't think of a more crooked, hypocritical bunch of thugs pretending to be uber-patriots. Remember Foley and his chasing down 17 year old male pages, turns out this was well known and it was again Karl Rove who forced Foley to run again, Rove being well aware of Foley's inclinations. What kind of crap is this?

The NY Times ran a terrific article on why the Republicans must be purged.

NY Times election endorsements and for the first time no Republicans appear on the list.

My predictions remain the same. I believe if there is a clear cut winner for example a Democrat who is leading by a wide margin in the polls, then he or she will win. However I believe that there will be voting fraud galore in the tight races, blame it on the computerized voting machines, blame it on the subterfuge. Lawsuits, recounts, and accusations of impropriety will appear in the news.
