How to protect your Obama sign:

Also a sign protesting that under a Mccain Palin administration, all abortions will be performed with flag pins.

NOOOO. Make him go away. The Hague would be fitting.

A few years back Dubya said when he left office the first thing he’d need to do is “replenish the coffers” by making the speech circuit. The idea that anyone would pay him to open his mouth is astounding.

the neocons are like a party who never have to run for election and are never out of power, due to their cozy relationship with the military industrial complex.

very insightful comment, but i’d go even further and say not “like a party who never have to run for electio” – “are a party who never have to run for election.” many of them started out as Ds and moved to the Rs when that was more profitable. i expect we’ll be seeing more of them joining up with the Ds again. as with lieberman, i wish we could just boot them out of the party.

Let us hope he IS back. In a court of LAW!

Me thinks he will be paid to keep his yap shut..or else!!

but what are the chances of that?

He’ll end up making a buttload of money accepting no-show chairs on corporate boards and doing celebrity golf tournaments. That’s how Gerald Ford did it. Clinton has probably beaten him but prior to that, Ford had amassed the largest fortune trading on his status as a former president. Amazing, considering that he got the job without any votes being cast and only served two years.

The Clown in chief isn’t going to go away without screwing amerika a couple of more times.

Cheney’s parting gift to Dubya, a lifetime supply of pretzels.

and yet…did he have anything to say of any import before he got elected? I mean, really?

He drove some businesses into the ground and them got bailed out, making a tidy profit in the process. Do you detect a pattern?

Radio Hutu alert.

Former McCain crowd rally leader, Bill Cunningham says:

“Obama wants to gas the Jews”.

The sickness is quickening.

I imagine his rehabilitation will not be long in coming. The minute Barack Obama takes a position on — well, anything — we’ll be treated to “at least George Bush didn’t,” and the next thing you know, it’ll be the halcyon days of Ronald Reagan all over again.

With the extra added irony that, aside from the very start of his first term, Reagan was nowhere near as popular as the press makes him out to be. He had a tough time staying above 50% most of the time, and Bill Clinton was far more popular overall at the end of his two terms. Iran-Contra brought Reagan’s ratings down to near-Bush-like levels.

Holy crap.

Remember when Obama said, “These guys take pride in being ignorant…”?

Like a f*cking badge of honor.

shit. and not just obama. from your link:

Obama wants to gas the Jews, like the PLO wants to gas the Jews, like the Nazis gassed the Jews.

Beautiful scenic Paraguay awaits your benign presence Mr. Bush. Bush/Diebold carried the day in 2004, will McCain/Diebold carry the day in 2008? Stay tuned. Remember, we can easily avoid all this paranoia about Republican election theft if we simply return to using hand-counted paper ballots in all of our elections. Works fine for folks in Canada, Ireland, Norway and Sweden. But somehow, many Americans prefer electronic Republican fascism.

No Diebold in Florida in 2000. It was the hand counted paper ballots and hanging chad that caused a lot of the trouble.

OT – jane’s dear friend deb howell is not happy:

Declines in Post advertising and circulation and decreases in the value of smaller newspapers the company owns resulted in third-quarter earnings, reported Friday, being down 86 percent compared with the same period last year.

her analysis of why is clear and on target – just as we’ve learned to expect from all her columns.

In Florida in 2000, Bush had his brother Jeb, and the infamous Katherine Harris, Secretary of State, throw some 50,000 black voters off the Florida voting rolls because their names resembled those on a list of TEXAS felons. It was Republican fascist thuggery then, and its been Republican fascist thuggery ever since then.

Here are my comments from four years ago:

Another stolen election: Bush stole the election again in 2004, by the rigging of right-wing corporate electronic vote-counting machines.

To the Editor:

The exit polls that showed a sweeping Senator Kerry Democratic election victory on November 2nd were right. Unfortunately, the 2004 Presidential election was cleanly stolen by Bush & Co. How, you say? With the help of Diebold, ES&S, Sequoia and SAIC, four interlocked secretive right-wing electronic voting machine manufacturers. We have entrusted the most important election task, that of actually counting and tabulating the vote totals to extremist organizations with secret proprietary vote-counting computer software with no auditable paper trail for hand recounts. How very convenient, how very clean, how very slick and with all the evidence of election rigging is buried deep on their computer hard drives.

Senator John F. Kerry won a landslide Democratic victory in the November 2, 2004 Presidential election by between two million and five million votes. The pre-election public opinion polls pointed to a large and growing Kerry election day majority and the election day exit polls also indicated a Kerry victory. Unfortunately, theocratic extremely right-wing computer election machine manufacturing corporations were in charge of “counting” the votes of millions and millions of Americans. Some how, a few million Kerry votes didn’t get counted and a few million bogus Bush votes showed up in the final election tallies and voile, a Bush “victory.”

Democracy in 21st century America has been kidnapped and destroyed by extreme right-wing control of the new secret computerized electronic vote counting systems. Verifiable hand-counted paper ballots are the only way to restore legitimate elections in America.

Just search the Internet for any terms such as “black box voting,” “Max Cleland,” “Diebold,” “Sequoia,” “SE&S,” “Greg Palest,” “election fraud” or “election theft” and you will find a wealth of information to help arm you in the coming fight to restore legitimate free elections and democracy in our country.

In 2002, the Republican Party staged their test run of controlling the new Diebold computerized paper-trail-free electronic voting systems that were installed in every precinct in the State of Georgia. It worked like a charm. Two popular Democratic incumbents, the Governor Roy Barnes and Senator Max Cleland, were both “defeated” by Republican challengers. The Democrats were both ahead by several points in both the pre-election voter opinion polls and in the election day exit polls, yet the Diebold voting machines declared the two Republican challengers as winners. The local media claimed to be “amazed” by this election “upset.” They should have been horrified and outraged. These elections were stolen electronically. There was no paper trail, no recount was possible and for good measure, Diebold Corporation “accidentally erased” the disputed 2002 election returns data from their computer hard disk drives a few days after the election. How convenient, how clean, how slick and how crooked is Republican election theft in the 21st century.

The 2000 and 2004 Presidential elections were both stolen by Bush & Company. The 2008 and 2012 Presidential elections will suffer the same fate unless we institute a complete and total return to traditional, verifiable hand-counted paper election ballots.

The Republican Party will never lose another Presidential election as long as we allow their corporate buddies to “count” our votes in secret.

Yours truly,

James K. Sayre
