I like Robert Kennedy Jr. for Attorney General

1. He would be an excellent pick....

Investigate those stolen elections.....

4. Exactly!

2. He might be more interested in Interior

or something related to his passion of the environment... less prestige I know, and I understand the historic precedent set by his father

3. Wasn't he bashing Obama during the primaries?

I think Obama has enough people that have supported him through thick and thin and backed him in the primaries to give positions to. I don't see him rushing to reward rabid Hillary supporters that were unkind to him in the primaries.

5. Agreed...

[HopeFor2006]

6. I was a Hillary supporter but I am 100% behind Obama now

Am I not welcome either?

7. Are you picking a fight?

:wtf:

9. However, such a move would show that Obama harbors no ill will towards those that fervently...

supported Hillary.


Sort of like when Abe Lincoln, after the Civil War, "forgave" the South and essentially said he bore them no ill will.

10. No, he wasn't.

He endorsed Senator Clinton early on, because of his work with her on environmental issues. That was before Senator Obama was considered to be seriously contesting her for the nomination. And his position was "pro-Hillary," not anti-Obama.

8. Well, that would definitely calm me down about what the national government

might do to our election system, no matter who ends up in the White House. (And it sure looks like Obama is going to.)

You see, it was Congress (the Anthrax Congress), with R's and D's working together, that fucked it up so badly that, now, there is hardly a member of Congress, or any official in the country, who can prove that he or she was actually elected: 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY programming code--code owned and controlled by Bushwhack corporations; code that the public is not permitted to review--in all the new electronic voting systems, all over the country, with virtually no audit/recount controls.

That's what the Anthrax Congress did. And our own party leaders--most of them--support it to this day. (It's just mind-boggling.) But, the Anthrax Congress did NOT mandate it. They just put $3.9 billion into funding it, and let this cancer spread far and wide.

What I fear the next Congress will do--again, in the name of "reform"--is federalize elections, and mandate electronic voting under PRIVATE CORPORATE 'TRADE SECRET' control, with, say, a sneaky provision that requires a paper ballot or some kind of paper trail, but fails to mandate counting the ballots. That is pretty much what the Democratic Party leadership advocates now. BUSHWHACK corporations counting all our votes with 'TRADE SECRET' code and a 1% audit (cannot detect fraud). (The situation currently in the country is that half of the systems do NO audit at all, and the other half do a 1% audit. Fraud is undetectable, and VERY easy to accomplish.)

For this reason, I have often warned against Congress meddling any further in our election system, and have urged election reformers to look to the state/local jurisdictions to demand transparent vote counting. We have a chance, locally. We have no chance at the national level. They will fuck it up MORE. A state/local fight is a messier, more complicated fight, over a bigger landscape, but I think it's our best shot at real election reform.

Anyway, there is one thing I know about Robert Kennedy, Jr. He would not tolerate 'TRADE SECRET' code vote counting. And as Attorney General, he would fight it tooth and nail. I've heard him speak about this, and you rarely hear such passion and commitment, as he has on this issue.

So, I second the nomination of RFK, Jr., for Attorney General!
