Large 'Undervote' In Hot House Race Raises Voting Machine Concerns

[feelfree1]

You addressed "big government" twice, and that is what I was responding to. There is no bigger government than the one which is currently disgracing our country, and that's why I mentioned the name of the political party that is most reponsible,which happens to be the Republicans.

I compared Bill Clinton to JF Kennedy. Neither was a Republican.

Since you specifically addressed both me & what I wrote; and since you completely missed the point, then yes, I will correct you and tell you to re-read my post.

Geez, even my brother's eight-year old has more sense than that.


Oh well, breaks over,back to work.

processor2,

Why is that important? Do I need your permission before I can mention something that you have not addressed?

[processor2]

FeelFree1

You need to re-read my post

NOWHERE in my post did I mention Republicans

[feelfree1]

processor2,

"Big government" is something that true conservatives have been opposed to for a long time. Since the Bush regime has spent tax dollars like drunken sailors, borrowing more than one TRILLION dollars to implement their failed policies, giving away billions to their rich buddies, sacrificing massive amounts of blood and treasure on illegal war, and pushing through intrusive freedom-hating big government legislation such as the PATRIOT Act, Homeland Security, and the Uber-fascistic Military Commissions Act, TRUE conservatives are abandoning the financially and morally bankrupted Republican Party in droves.

Rather than comparing republicans vs. democrats (an argument which never goes anywhere),
let%u2019s instead compare democrat vs. democrat..%u2026let%u2019s say Clinton vs. J.F. Kennedy.

The Clinton and current Democrat philosophy on governing/government is:

%u201CBig Government will provide for you%u201D, &
%u201CFrom cradle to grave, Big Government will take care of you%u201D, &
%u201CIt takes a Village%u201D (Big Government)


Whereas J.F. Kennedy said :

%u201CAsk NOT what your country can do for you, but rather what you can do for your country%u201D

These two philosophies (both democrat) are completely opposite of each other.

I would much rather be a J.F. Kennedy democrat than a Clinton socialist.

J.F. Kennedy also instituted tax cuts on the top rates to spur a sluggish economy. (hmmmm%u2026%u2026.sounding familiar)

Sounds like the NeoCommies have hijacked a democrat party that I once knew and respected.



PS

And thank you webdepot for constantly proving my point. way too easy.

It seems incredible that Brazil, an underdeveloped country, can successfully operate an electronic voting system nation-wide but the great USA cannot.

HAVA passed in 2002, so I can guess who the majority in power were in Congress then. I'd like to see the breakdown of votes. Not nitpicking, but Bob Ney was the sponsor of the HAVA bill, so I know it was a Republican-backed bill. That being said, the Senate overwhelmingly backed it, the House not as strongly but enough.

Shoot, nobody asked ME if I wanted those machines, I like the Oregon system of vote by mail.

In summary, the Republicans "won" in Florida, 2000, by illegitimately "scrubbing" tens of thousands of likely Democrat voters from the roles.

Republicans "won" in 2002, using a combination o vote fraud techniques and by terrorizing the US public with the false "threat from Iraq, just a month before the elections.

In 2004 they "won" using Diebold electronic voting machine manipulation, as well as by denying the votes of soldiers serving overseas.

The Democrats failed to confront the Republicans each time.

Good to see CBS covering this important issue. They were only a few years too late with this story.
