I realize it's another one of those 800-lb elephants in the living room that no one acknowledges, but the 2004 Presidential election was severely tainted by Diebold et al and their "e-voting" schemes... the machines with no paper trail (although printers are installed in the machines)..?

Does the phrase "statistical impossibility" mean anything to you? Because that's what more learned persons than my own humble self have termed the discrepancy between exit polls and voting numbers. The USA enjoyed a third-world election in 2004, right down to US poll officials refusing international observers access to vote-counting locations.

Mighty suspicious. And Kerry just rolled over and went to sleep. Zzz. Business as usual?

It doesn't matter who the Democrats run if the votes aren't counted accurately.

You neglected to add "9/11" on your list of Bush disasters... How did "arab terrorists" get the USAF to stand down on 9/11/01..? Bush/Cheney *KNEW* what was going to happen and let it happen to procure the PNAC's "New Pearl Harbor" to galvanize the Sheeple. And what about those five Mossad agents arrested after being witnessed high-fiving one another with hte WTC smoking in the background..?

Dig deep enough to clean it ALL up. "Nothing un-American can survive in the sunlight."

Kind of an interesting coincidence, eh..? Too bad the "mainstream media" is too skittish to touch that factoid.

When will Jack suicide? Certainly pre-sentencing. Dead men telling no tales and all that.

Maybe he can room with Jon Pollard, another very nice Jewish boy. I imagine they have quite a bit in common.

Forgive me for opening up the can of kryptonite again, but Lieberman's absurdly over-the-top allegiance to a foreign country is disturbing at best and treasonous at worst. Which foreign country? Israel.

Israel is not the 51st state. Israel is not any kind of "sister nation" -- Israel is a FOREIGN COUNTRY.

I hold that it is not too much to expect clear allegiance to THIS country -- the United States. Israel is a FOREIGN COUNTRY.

That PNAC > Neocon > Zionists have put a saddle on US foreign policy for their own ends will be something that history marvels at.

Always have been, always will be. Pampered and indulged pseudo-warriors that can pretty much get away with murder. You can call them "alpha males" if you're on their side of reality and you can call them "goons" or "bullies" -- no difference.

Lieberman's allegiance appears to be far stronger to Israel than for the USA -- it's disturbing that a US Senator would put the interests and concerns of a foreign country before those of the country he's representing.

I wrote nothing about his "Jewishness," only about his loyalty to a foreign country. And Israel is a foreign country. With a ring through the nose of the USA.

Don't try and pull the smokescreen routine on me. "Israel" doesn't mean "Jewish" -- it's like studying an M.C. Escher print featuring an optical illusion. Don't be fooled.

btw when do I get called an "anti-Semite" and have my family insulted..? That would appear to be the established order of battle.

Cleland's loss to Saxby Chambliss (does that sound like a name for a GOP cocksucker or what?) was an early instance, a beta version, of e-voting fraud -- election results being curiously different than pre-election poll numbers.

Saxby managed a medical deferment to avoid service in Viet Nam while Cleland lost three limbs -- and Saxby questioned Cleland's patriotism?! What the fuck is up with THAT..?

Hell, if Dubya had kicked a puppy he might deserve censure. For abusing his power to invade a country that hasn't done jack fucking shit to us..? IMPEACH THE SON OF A BITCH APPOINTED JUG EARED ALRED E. NEWMAN AND DETAIN HIM UNTIL THE WORLD COURT IS READY TO TRY HIS INBRED ASS FOR WAR CRIMES.

Talk about your scary politicians: John McCain tops the list. Following his brainwashing by the US military, McCain vacationed in Vietnam, which did little to improve his attitude towards the non-brainwashed world around him.

He's the kind of person who'd shoot trick-or-treaters on Halloween because he mistook them for "hostiles" instead of "friendlies"... his greatest potential contribution would be to go fully insane and shoot Falwell and Robertson to death during one of those back-room meetings our corrupt alleged Republic is so famous for.

He's well-suited to his backward, inbred state -- somewhere too hot to live, much less live in a suit... face it, he's like Bob Dole without the charm. He's the kind of politician you could see cheerfully initiating a nuclear attack on some third-world nation.

Why doesn't George buzz Voldemort on the intercom and tell him to clear out his desk..?

bzzt

"Dick?"

"George, I told you not to bother me."

"Dick, I want you to clear out your desk and get the fuck out of the White House. No, on second thought I want you to be bound hand and foot and held as an enemy combatant. Don't move."

An investigation of Cheney's misdeeds would take quite some time if only because of their sheer volume. George might as well try and stick Voldemort while he's able to do so.

Sheesh(tm). When does my subscription expire..? It can't be soon enough. Any more tripe along these lines and I can make some homemade menudo...

Proposed twelve-step program for Salon:

1. No more Jennifer Aniston. Stop cold turkey.

2. Accept that you are powerless in your addiction to Jennifer Aniston news.

I understand that it's considered to be a terrorist act to criticize I$rael in any way, shape or form, up to and including expressing distain for any combination of the words "I$raeli," "war," and "hero." So I'll abstain.
