Typical of so-called "progressives" and "liberals", the Collier brother's book, "VOTESCAM: The Stealing of America" (published in 1992), has been systematically ignored as a source on history and methodology of vote fraud in the US going back decades (to read the first 19 chapters of Votescam, go to: http://www.constitution.org/vote/votescam__.htm, http://www.votescam.com/home1.php)
Why has this book been disregarded for nearly 15 years by the "prog/libs"? Because the Collier's didn't play political favorites in terms of which party's election fraud they were exposing. One of the (then Republican) Collier's ran for US Congress against Democrat Claude Pepper in Florida and experienced vote rigging in that election, yet prog/lib Dems don't want to discuss that story. There is no doubt that Democrats and Party machinery around the country stand to lose a lot of credibility if and when a more complete history of vote rigging in this country is given credence. And now the NY Times says election fraud may well have happened in the 2004 Ohio election. Well who woulda thunk? The plain truth of it is, both parties have been deep in election rigging for the entire history of this country, while organized crime and CIA cutouts are in the wings, covering up the trail before it pops up in a newspaper somewhere. Now it doesn't even matter if the rigging is exposed in the light of day - look at the Kerry and Democratic Party response to Ohio in 2004!. No problem, the CIA doesn't even bother anymore to veil it's election rigging operations in foreign countries targeted for destabilization and coups d'etat, why should they or their Republican and Democratic party sponsors bother with domestic election rigging if no one cares enough to stop it. Now the CIA openly brags about its kidnapping and torture operations yet like bleeding parrots, the prog/libs are content to call it "Extraordinary Rendition" and scratch their Democratic Party hat festooned noggins without a clue as to what to do about it. Most so-called progressives and liberals just smile and shrug their shoulders when the facts of election rigging in Illinois in the 1960 Presidential election are brought up. Of course we are all "glad" that JFK was installed in the White House over Tricky Dick, but is that the only measure of political impetus in the 'land of the free and the home of the brave'? It would seem so. And again, after two frauded-up Presidential election cycles come and gone, the liberals and progressives are still mired in the muck of Democratic Party control as the current "Let's all get on the bandwagon and defend Bill Clinton on 911" operation is in full swing (while sober questions about the facts about the 911 events are still avoided and questionable investigative exposes on the events are promoted without consideration that some of the information smells of red herring). Welcome to the land of programmed political failure of the ignorant and stupid. "All Hail Hillary for 2008", as the feminist contingent gleefully prepares itself to be baited into a sea of house parties promoting dead end narrow political platforms and Bush gang operatives in centrist clothing, while the police state burgeons and the genocide flourishes with DU for all. I still see Gore/Lieberman and Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers on cars in LA, their drivers with that typical "progressive/liberal", deer-in-the-headlights look on their face, yapping on their cell phones as they drive their SUV's and Subaru Foresters to Whole Foods. As if ANY of the Democrats have any intention of being an obstacle to the Bush/CIA juggernaut to unfettered totalitarianism and broad genocide (how else are we going to depopulate the planet, right?). John Kerry still hasn't made an issue of the stolen 2004 election. He only has one more year before the statute of limitations runs out on those crimes. Don't hold your "progressive" breath. What a fraud. The Democrats, our only hope? Make no mistake, the 2006 general election will see only those Democrats winning their elections who are actually in alignment with the Bush gang's foreign policy goals. The model? Sen Barbara Boxer, Rep Nancy Pelosi, etc. The Dems may actually gain control of the House but what Democrats will those be? I say they will be Demopubs in collagen and greasepaint, ready to suck the cock of the military industrial complex and the national security state like they always have.

But as Paul Harris discovers, the system has actually worsened since then Thursday September 7, 2006 Observer.co.uk One person, one vote. Count the totals. The one with the most wins. The beauty of democracy is its simplicity and its inherent fairness. It equalises everyone, even as it empowers everyone. What could go wrong? In America, it turns out, quite a lot. Everyone remembers the debacle in Florida, 2000. The recounts, the law suits and the eventual deciding of a presidential election - not by the voters - but by the Supreme Court. The memory still causes a collective shudder to America's body politic. Which makes the fact that America's system of voting is now even more suspect, more complicated, and more open to abuse than ever before so utterly shocking. Across the country a bewildering series of scandals or dubious practises are proliferating beyond control. The prospect of a 'second Florida' is now more likely not less. There are many - and not all of them are conspiracy theorists - who believed it may have happened in Ohio in 2004. This week the venerable New York Times was the latest of many organisations and institutions to declare that America's democratic system is simply starting to fail. Not in terms of its democratic ideals, or some takeover by a Neocon cabal, but by a simple collapse in its ability to count everyone's votes accurately and fairly. more on line: http://observer.guardian.co.uk/columnists/story/0,,1866780,00.html tiny url: http://tinyurl.com/k42q7 SEE ALSO.
