1. How did they report it? |
|
Was there any mention of voting irregularities in WA or elsewhere?

Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 10:16 AM by bush_is_wacko
but the jist was... Christine Gregoire is ahead by 10 votes and the court ruling yesterday ruled that 700 ballots NEVER previouly counted could be counted. Christine was shown saying, "it's too early to declare victory yet." The final word was that the Republicans are not happy! Small, but I think, significant since it is the ONLY thing I've seen reported on MSM regarding this!
On Edit: I didn't hear any mention of voting issues elswhere.

5. I'm thinking the MSM wants to start little |
|
and often, so they don't look like complete asses for not covering this stuff from the get go! We will probably be hearing little stuff all day, then the K story! They surely won't wait until Christmas eve day will they? Many people will be at home w/ the tv sets turned on tomorrow!

That the closest governors race in American history gets a slight mention almost a day after it occurred. Still we have a complete black out of anything dealing with words Ohio or voting fraud.

13. The genie can only be kept in the bottle for so long |
|
I sit back and wait patiently while all this goes on. If the end result isn't having our voting system completely overhauled to be fair and honest then new desperate action is needed. I'm not going to sit back in 2006 and watch another power grab of our nation. Words like revolution will be key on my mind.

The media and the bush people remind me (in this very bizaare way) of a very bad horror movie called "The Society" Where the monsters, who looked like people most of the time, would kill folks and then physically blend together in strange orgies. Made this big, gloppy mess.

19. Christine Gregoire said she will let Mr. Rossi decide when to concede |
|
then she said she certainly has been asked to concede enough times. She acted like a lady. He acted like a ....republican.
