[Egnever]

He said that one of bushes pioneers that raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for his campaign also owns the company that makes the electronic voting machines we all vote on !!!!!!!!

Edit

They are people like Walden O’Dell, a 2004 Pioneer, who is also manufacturing electronic voting machines to count our votes, and has said that he is, quote, “committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the President next year.”

4. The one about FEC matching funds

In which he asks his supporters to vote whether the campaign should reject the funds (and have an unlimited cap on fund raising) or stick with them.

snip


George W. Bush calls his most powerful money-bundlers “Pioneers” and “Rangers,” who bundle together hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions.

The bundlers are people like James Harless, Chairman of International Industries, a coal industry group, who put together 355 thousand dollars to get George Bush elected.

They are people like Steven Letbetter of Reliant Resources, who put together 214 thousand.

They are people like Frederick Webber, former president of the American Chemistry Council, who bundled another 221 thousand.

They are people like Walden O’Dell, a 2004 Pioneer, who is also manufacturing electronic voting machines to count our votes, and has said that he is, quote, “committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the President next year.”

10. I heard that!!

Thank God for Howard Dean!!

[drfemoe]

11. The only concern

I have is his 'prior remarks' about working within the limits. I'm sure his opponents are loading the smear shotguns already .. but he has survived MUCH worse .. and like many of his supporters, I consider a sign of good leadership when one can reevalute and change course when it's indicated.

12. Kick

Please lock the dupe.

[pruner]

13. I was at the speech

when he was talking about the CEO promising to deliver Ohio to Bush someone in the audience yelled out "is he gonna count the votes himself"… pretty funny.

[KittyWampus]

14. Yowza! As Front Runner Dean Can Do Alot Of Good Here

on this issue!

[RevolutionStartsNow]

15. Bingo!

Thanks Dean for addressing this in public! Hope he makes this part of his regular speeches.

17. Good for Dean, where's Clark on this?

Good to see Dean saying it in public. He should keep it up. This flag sticker "controversy" and pile-on is total crap, in my opinion. This is coming from a long time confirmed Dean basher :)

[Capn Sunshine]

19. Clark is no fool. He'll come around

I'm sure his people have given him the same BBV info we all share here at DU---look how many Clark supporters are on DU. I think he's still trying to line up his organization. But I have faith he will be on board with this. He's a hip guy.

[JNelson6563]

24. Clark said Bush will need brothers in 49 more states

ROFL!!! I love that one!

Julie

[Guaranteed]

27. LOL

That IS a good one....49 more brothers...

[Capn Sunshine]

18. Gov.Dean has copies of Eloriels excellent BBV paper

which lays out the entire case and argument. I gave him a copy personally. He got one from Eloriel on the East coast. Now if a DUers in Iowa would give him a copy...
I SURE MISS BEV HARRIS! I WISH SHE WASN'T BANNED!

[SeveneightyWhoa]

20. Bev Harris, banned?

WHAT THE HELL?? Fill me in..

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

21. BevHarris was banned? wtf?

I was wondering why she wasn't posting. What's going on?

[JNelson6563]

26. Whaaaaaaaaa?????

Banned??? Huh??? Please fill us in!!

Julie--Bev Harris fan

[LittleDannySlowhorse]

22. But Dean is a horrible Klansman!

He said "confederate flag" in a speech! He must be stopped! So what if he's consistently ahead of the curve and forward-thinking and takes zero shit! We must destroy him!

[dusty64]

23. I hope to hear a LOT

more about this subject from the candidates as well as a plan to correct it.

[RetroLounge]

25. Go Dean! Always one step in front of the others...

Always!

[Le Taz Hot]

28. Trippi announced about 3 weeks ago

that the Guv was going to start talking about BBV. He's been sort of hinting around it in his speeches for awhile but this is the first in which he makes a direct hit. Be expecting MUCH more from Dean on this issue. This is only the first volley.

[JNelson6563]

29. The more who talk about this the better!

Whooo-hoooo!!!!!!!!!
