Bye bye democracy
I don't get on my highhorse over trivial things (unless I find them funny...)
This is not funny. The upcoming US presidential election will be rigged. Republicans will be doing much better than expected, and the world's self-proclaimed #1 democracy will edge closer to a Totalitarian Regime.
Witness:
A summary of the 2002 election by scoop.co.nz found that in 14 races, there was a 3-16 point swing to the Republican Party after the final poll was taken providing several stunning upsets. By contrast, in only two races was there a swing toward the Democratic Party, between 2-4 points.
The Free Press
Overt Republicans own and run the electronic voting machine companies:
Diebold’s CEO Wally O’Dell is an ardent Bush supporter who recently hosted a $10,000-a-plate fundraiser for the President in his manor in the affluent Columbus suburb of Upper Arlington. He is "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the President next year" while, at the same time, attempting to contract with the state of Ohio for his fabulously flawed voting machines.
The Free Press
That quote about his committment is genuine. Maybe just a slip of the tongue, but I doubt many Americans have heard about it. They're too busy watching the O'Reilly Factor on Fox, the "no-spin zone". Ever noticed how liars constantly plead "but i'm telling the truth..."
If Charlton Heston is so patriotic, he should go on a monkey-shoot.
Whatever, I don't care, it's not real, it's not here, it's only those funny Americans on TV.
