1. Excellent. No they wouldn't hesitate, and haven't.
I just hope America is tired of being led around by the nose by these arrogant bastards. We'll see Tuesday.

3. Hell no - they've been cheating since they took office
The first 9 months they pretended to be doing something, but they did nothing, ignored legitimate intel that told them that AQ was a viable threat and OBL actually intended to strike our nation by using jet planes and that activities in NYC around buildings housing federal offices were suspect.

Hell, the NSA had no knowledge or concerns with the ME and was schooled in the dangers the USSR posed to our nation even though the USSR had collapsed while their "St.Raygun" was in office.

They have been cheating and lieing since day one, so many examples, so many lies. I put nothing past the crooked bunch and only hope that their arrogance is what brings about their fall.

5. Thanks for carrying that lantern
The definition of stupid, doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result. If it had not for the brave ones like you I would have stop visiting this site a long time ago. Mostly D.U. is analogous to a good water buoy to find out where the really deep water is.

7. Nah. But this time is a wee tiny bit different.
This time the curtain is open and we can see the "wizard."

The worst thing that could EVER happen to the Republican party would be to "win" this election.

Right now, many local Republican wannabees are realizing that they have no future unless this bunch is retired. Then, it's wide open for the untainted new guys. So I don't think the party biggies have the same level of dedicated follower they did before.

9. WE can see it
but what about everyone else? I heard a woman on NPR this weekend explaining that she was going to vote Republican because she didn't like what Kerry said about the troops. I had a guy while canvassing this weekend who didn't want to hear about my candidate because he as pissed about the dozens of robocalls. It's working.

11. They wouldn't hesitate to try to control the truth about their crimes.
Mr. Cheney stated quite clearly the extreme RW ideology that is behind TORTURE and other crimes of the BFEE, when he was on Meet The Press September 16th, 2001:
"A lot of what needs to be done here WILL HAVE TO BE DONE QUIETLY,WITHOUT ANY DISCUSSION, using sources and METHODS that are available to our intelligence agencies, IF WE'RE GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

That's the world these folks operate in. AND SO IT'S GOING TO BE VITAL FOR US TO USE ANY MEANS AT OUR DISPOSAL, BASICALLY, TO ACHIEVE OUR OBJECTIVE."

Well, to hell with that "Seig Heil" stuff-these criminals profoundly underestimated the American people and overestimated their "resources".

12. Cheney has a very serious mental illness
I think it is a result of his heart disease or medications. He's sick in the head.

13. No, they have some kind of a group mind-it's a culture of death,
it sounds insane yet it is shared.

17. Yep
I shouldn't laugh because this is serious, but how insane have we become?

We are living in some sort of comedy skit. Hundreds of reports of voters punching "A" and "B" comes up, and the national discussion is "what could that possibly mean?" and anyone who suggests the obvious explanation - are we that stupid that the explanation is not obvious??? - is ridiculed as a "conspiracy theorist."

The machines are switching Democratic votes to Republican.

18. I know
I've been posting things like this for weeks, wondering if anybody is taking it seriously.

It scares the hell out me that it may be coming to this.

Frankly, I think the election is beyond stealing for the Republicans. They may hold on to the Senate; if they keep the House, fraud should be assumed and action should be taken.

How far the action will go, I can't say.
