Every time I hear called a California liberal I want to puke. The woman is to the right of Phil Gramm, which is well to the right of Genghis Khan.

People think the House of Lords is elitist, but every current US Senator is worth a million dollars [US]. It isn’t likely any of them know much about the working class.

You would know about Clint Curtis running against Feeney there. BradBlog had a good blog up about that last month:

An Exclusive Interview with Election Integrity Advocate, Vote-Rigging Whistleblower and Congressional Candidate Clint Curtis

Oh! Check this one out also. 😀 What was that about USA hating Venezuela? LOL

Exclusive: Voting Machine Company Chief Lied to Chicago Officials About Ownership, Control of Company

And Brad seems to feel similarly to you about what happened in Florida:

Democratic Party Insiders, Mainstream Media – Rather Than Voters – Select Florida Congressional Candidate

I first came across Curtis relating to the Tom Feeney vot rigging scandle in ’03, then the Ray Lemme *suicide* (murder) investigations Brad began in ’05.

CLINT CURTIS INVESTIGATOR’S ‘SUICIDE’ CASE REOPENED BY GEORGIA POLICE!

One thing is for sure… nothing much will change until crooked morons like Senators Feinstein and Bennett are replaced (or hung from a tree as an example to others). 🙂 These two in particular are sooooo cheerleading the current voting machines, they HAVE to be getting paid by ES&S and Diebold! Feinstein is definately one Dem politician the people can do without! Info here:

Keep in mind, we are going to save the most troubling aspect of this report for the very end, so those of you who can take no more of this garbage, will be able to bail out before hand.

If you can take it, prepare to be amazed by the end, as we wend through the massive failures in Arkansas last Tuesday, through mind-blowing new (disastrous) federal “Electronic Voting Reform” legislation just announced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) with Sen. Bill Bennett (R-UT), before landing in West Virginia, where a candidate on last week’s ballot assures us everything is just fine because the guy spotted by voters opening up the voting machines and going inside of them to make adjustments at the polls during Election Day was him.

It’s as bad as it sounds. Read on, if you feel strong enough, otherwise, abandon hope all ye who enter here…

Who Could Have Foreseen It?!…Apparently not Senators Feinstein and Bennett Who Have Announced New Federal Legislation Which Will Allow the Use of These Very Machines for Years…

Ummm…. What was that about Civil Rights? Yeah.

One of the things that really bugs me is that I’m not hearing about the desire of candidates to dismantle the illegal apparatus that has been constructed since 2001, and moves to make it easier to vote.

I fear that politicians are looking at the possibilities of control with the system that is currently in place, rather than the clear violations of the civil rights of all Americans.

Can’t argue with you on that Bryan, sadly. We all know that the ONLY reason the ‘Gang Of Perverts'(tm) wants the electronic voting systems is because they can rig and control them. And whilst many Dem (Politicians) are publicly saying they are against them, I have seen very few *really* try to stop them! The Dem poli’s want control as much as the GOP.

As long as security issues can be addressed, where’s the beef?

I do, however, kind of like the idea of letting the military in Iraq come home to vote and do whatever else they would like to do….

There was a big push for the touch-screen voting machines after 2000, and she refused, as she didn’t see any reason to spend the money. The current mark/sense ballot system we use works, and we have to worry about power issues related to hurricanes. She is prepared to go ahead with an election using oil lamps and hand counting if necessary, she doesn’t want to depend on electricity.

Some of our polling places were without power for a month after Hurricane Ivan because they are small churches in isolated communities in the pine woods, not exactly on the top of the power companies priority list for repairs.

The absurdity is that the military could do this easily with a secure link from the Judge Advocates offices on every base back to the US. Including the voting information for military personnel is a trivial thing, and identification of voters is not exactly a problem.

There is no reason not to do this, if the military was really interested. It’s not like giving massive numbers of people leaves to go home to vote, as occurred in 1864 during the American Civil War.

Still… I hope she pushes for it! If for no other reason than watching the GOP minions squirm and pop up many talking points about why it’s such a BAD idea! LOL
