Poll question: POLL: If the Dems lost in 2006, would the fraud be too blatent to hide from Americans? |
|
Compared to 2000, 2002, and 2004 where the nation was more evenly divided?
I ask because I wonder how much people are willing to trust official sources of media in this country over what union activists, socialists, voter integrity activists, Dem activists, citizens of conscience, even Green Party activists say if the official news sources contradicted them all.

just had lunch with a good, liberal friend. I told that him that prior to the election I felt like I was the only one in the room that thought this country was headed in the right direction, that maybe we didn't have the votes or the courage to pull off victories in this cycle.
If we hadn't won, it would have reinforced these ideas. It would have bolstered the right's bully brigade in forcing their views down our throats.
Now that we have won, it really changes my perspective - we are not alone. We aren't even outnumbered - we are the majority.
The only problem we have now is getting something out of this Congress. If the Dems turn out to be soft on the Republicans and on bush, I think the party will have some major hurdles for 2008 - particularly with voters who want to see a change.
There can be no concern for seeming too partisanship - our congressman have a Constitutional duty to investigate what's occurred over the past six years. This administration has done enough damage and needs to be held accountable - the Dems need to exercise their duty and show us they aren't part of the problem in Washington. After all, that's why we put them their in the first place.

2. Exit Poll Analysis Suggests |
|
that they did try to fix two Senate races, but that there was no way to steal enough to keep the House. And as it happened, Democratic turnout overwhelmed the "percentage of shrinkage" built into the voting program, and with the bloggers and MSM jumping on the robocalls, the voter supression scams, and other dirty tricks, the momentum never got started.
We cannot count on luck to save our country though. We must have ways to permanently prevent such theft in every election at any level, from now on. And we must keep up with technology.

3. If the Republicans had stolen the election on Tuesday |

If the Republicans had stolen the election on Tuesday, there would have been mass demonstrations on Wednesday. To say the least.

Nothing is too blatant to hide from anybody. You just have to work it a little.
