THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO LET GO OF POWER.

Between the Patriot Act and the Bailout bill, they have all they need to take power. There was no time to read and know either of these bills because we had an "emergency."

With the Bailout, Bush received his own discretionary budget of $100 billiion. Congress members were threatened with marshal law within the week if they didn't pass it the second time around, according to Naomi Wolf.

With the Patriot Act Bush has legalized turning America into a battlefield, enabling him to use "Military Law" over civilian law, and he just shipping thousands of troops back to the states for "potential" national emergencies.

We need to be prepared for the worst from these people, and SOON.

There are ways to deal with it. Watch Naomi Wolf's recent interview on YouTube...

...and read her newest: "Give Me Liberty."

All these suggestions would be just fine of course, but what Obama really needs to do is exactly what these consultants and too many others like them have failed to do or recommend or execute in 2000, 2002, 2004, and even 2006: They've failed to keep the GOP cheat machine at bay. Top Democrats' inability to recognize the problem and fight hard enough for the prize has cost this country and the millions of people who depended on them dearly.

The good news is that Barak Obama has not waited for people like these well meaning consultants... he's staring them down and ready to fight. On Oct. 22 he publicly put the GOP and General Mukasey on notice that he's hip to them by calling for an independent prosecutor to look into nationwide GOP cheating, and he's also put a sizable army of volunteers and lawyers on the ground who are ready to fight for every vote.

These are the things he needed to do to close the deal. The rest is dross.

I just hope his legal team and organization keep on this. If they don't, all the voters in the world won't make a difference on November 4.

And then, once he's sworn in, we can tackle cleaning the rats out of the White House, because I really doubt they're going to go peacefully.

Mr. Shapiro, Please don't tell me how Kerry "lost" Ohio. Your opinion about how something "might just happen" in Ohio in 2008 has no legs when you misstate the facts about what happened in Ohio in 2004.

Did you choose to ignore the role of Kenneth Blackwell and all the blatant cheating in Ohio in 2004, or don't you know what happened?

Either way you get ZIP credibility when you start your essay by saying Kerry "lost" by 120,000 votes, and you lose my attention- except to tell you why.

Sorry Michael but there's a BIG difference.

Although the words do mean different degrees of the same sentiment, they are different by intensity. "Progressive" is a much more powerful word than "liberal," and likely connotates a different kind of person... or at least a very changed person.

It was weak kneed "Liberals" who allowed at least two elections to be stolen, and let themselves be slandered, overrun, repeatedly trashed and belittled by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and the rest of the right wing mob.

Nobody does that to PROGRESSIVES! "Progressives" know how to organize and fight.

"Progressives" started MoveOn, Progressive Democrats of America, BradBlog, BuzzFlash, TruthOut, Media Matters, and a dozen other meaningful things which gave the people willing to fight for our country against stupidity and religiosity a voice and a network. "Progressives" supported Michael Moore and John Dean and a new batch of tougher, stronger Democrats.

They did all this while "Liberals" were appearing on cable TV and publishing apologetic articles in magazines, trying to explain why they were such pussies.

"Progressives" did the organizing, found people who felt strongly enough about things to take the country back from the regressives, and DID it. Very much like we did in the 60's.

"Progressives" did that work. Not "Liberals."

Rapist or a lech? Polanski didn't "rape" the girl.

Can somebody explain "virtualization is orthogonal to cloud implementation?"
