may be concocting the false narrative for the corp/fascist 'news' monopolies to pick up, by which rightwing, Bushite voting machine corps, using 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY code, with virtually no audit/recount controls, can easily--EASILY!--steal the 2010 and 2012 elections, while we stand helplessly by, with no recourse. Half the voting systems in this country have NO audit--no automatic recount--because they have no paper ballot TO count, and the other half do only a 1% audit--miserably inadequate for detecting machine fraud in a 'TRADE SECRET' code system.*
Our voting system has been privatized and is now run mainly by three corporations: ES&S, whose initial funder and major investor is reclusive rightwing billionaire Howard Ahmanson, who also gave one million dollars to the extremist 'christian' Chalcedon foundation, which touts the death penalty for homosexuals (among other things). Diebold (now re-named "Premier"), whose CEO during the 2004 election pledged to "deliver Ohio's electoral votes to Bush/Cheney" and who was a major Puke donor (a Bush "Pioneer" right up there with Ken Lay). (Yup, your tax money, multi-millions of dollars poured into these extremely riggable voting systems, by your secretaries of state and county election officials, got passed right on to the Republican Party.) And Sequoia, which hired former Puke California Sec of State, Bill Jones, and his aide, Alfie Charles, to peddle their machines, after their 'public service' bringing the plague of e-voting to California.
Those are the three biggies, who control most of the election results in the country, with virtually no audit/recount controls. So all they need is a feasible-sounding narrative as cover: 'The new Puke Party, which has emerged from the mistakes of the noble Bush administration, is ready to take on...'
How's that for a Newsweek lead, oh, twelve months from now? You think "noble" is going too far? Look at the deification of Ronald Reagan--the worst president in our history, after Bush Jr.!--who was complicit in the slaughter of two hundred thousand Mayan villagers in Guatemala on top of his illegal war on Nicaragua, not to mention the re-write of the tax code to favor the rich, and deregulation of the savings & loan banks, and busting of labor unions, and initiating the "era of greed"--now "Saint Ronnie." (:puke:)
Don't think they can't do it. "Noble Bush"--who panicked after 9/11 and went a bit too far torturing "terrorists" (already floated in the 'news' monopolies), who was unfortunately distracted by two wars and couldn't attend to things like excessive speculation in the financial markets or federal emergency services, because he was so consumed with 'keeping us safe' and seeking out and destroying the perpetrators of 9/11, blah, blah, blah, became something of an albatross for the Republican Party, but they're past all that now (12 months later), and have made a comeback with a range of new and refreshing economic initiatives, such as "Put the Kids to Work," and "Grind the old folks up for a nutritious staple food--Soylent Green."
Don't kid yourselves. They will--and what is more important, they can do it. They have the corpo/fascist media, and they have total, non-transparent control of the 'TRADE SECRET' code voting systems.
And if their lying narratives, trumpeted all over the press, and their 'TRADE SECRET' code voting machines, and the trillions of dollars they've stolen from us, still aren't enough, they have Rumsfeld's private "Office of Special Plans" out there, preparing to "shock and awe" the American people, in case they aren't terrified enough to vote for Pukes. And/or, more Financial 9/11's to turn the U.S. into Calcutta--to starve us to death, to remove us forever as the potentially most progressive force on earth. Obama will get blamed for it all, and that will be that.
We have not attended to our fundamental power as a people: our vote. That is our sovereignty, and it can be easily--EASILY!--stolen, with no recourse. And it can be stolen for Pukes and "Blue Dogs" in Congress, as well as for President.
You might say this is absurd and can't happen. Well, I would have had said that about Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld ten years ago. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that the U.S. could be cursed with an outright fascist junta of thieving, torturing, lying master criminals in our highest offices.
We must not forget. And the best thing we can do to prevent things from getting worse--and they can get worse, believe me--is...
Throw Diebold, ES&S and all their goddamned voting into machines into 'Boston Harbor' NOW!

*(Venezuela uses electronic voting, but it is an OPEN SOURCE CODE system--the code belongs to the public, and anyone may review it--and they furthermore handcount a whopping 55% of the votes, as a check on machine fraud--more than five times the minimum (10%) needed to detect fraud. Oh, and, yes, there is a paper ballot for every vote. That's why they have universal health care, and we don't. That's why they have a government that uses the revenues from their major resource--oil--to benefit the poor, and we get fleeced, gas gouged and political whipped by Exxon Mobil & brethren. You cannot have a real democracy without transparent vote counting. Venezuela has a real democracy. Do we? I don't think we do. I think Obama was set up--that is, was permitted to win to set him up, and to set us up, for something worse. I do think he won--but not by nearly the margin that really voted for him--and I think that, with such a non-transparent, Puke-controlled system, our corporate rulers and war profiteers had their reasons for permitting a change in the White House, and can easily--EASILY!--toss Obama out, if he goes too far in challenging their greed, or for the purpose of installing the next fascist junta--the one that will start drafting our starving young people for their corporate resource wars, and that will, literally, kick the ill, the elderly, the very young and other useless people, including leftists, off the cliff, like these same fuckwads did in Latin America for several decades.)
