The only thing sweeter than winning the presidency would be
winning both houses of congress. Too much to hope for I guess. Man, talk about kicking ass and taking names. Just something I wanted to say.

2. We just have to
focus on paper ballots hand counted for 06 and 08, then we will win it all in a landslide. We need to fight for pbhc like they are fighting for installing the vote stealing machines.

5. I agree with both. It's the voting machines. We'll keep losing
if we can't fix them.I can't believe the average American is happy with what the tyrants have done to our country.

3. We had both houses under Reagan. Did no good. Couldn't even impeach him fo
for clear treason, selling weapons to a nation that had declared war on us and was committing terrorist acts against us.

The presidency focused the national will. We need both. More than that, we need to show people we are right. Damn Nader. Damn him to hell. (Okay, ignore that last part, just my personal anger!)

8. I agree.As pissed off as I am right now with Feingold and Kohl, I
will admit.I am looking at the future of our party and as much as I do not want to, if it boils down to it, I will vote to re-elect before I give a no-vote.A republican vote will ALWAYS be out of the question.
