It's starting

[mbarrick]

When you steal an election (more), people notice and things like this (80 KB PDF of a post someone in SF made earlier today, usernames removed) start to happen.

"So they put on an election; they have a bunch of hoopla in order to legitimize the ascendancy of who they've already selected to run the country anyway. They spend millions of dollars. They admitted in congressional hearings to spending 10 million dollars to influence the election in Chile.... So why would they only do that in Chile and make sure their outcome was right in Chile and not do it here? Why would you think that they would only do it in another country and not here? When this is the country that really counts"

you know it's funny that there is almost nothing about this anywhere in the mainstream media...exit polls are notoriously accurate and have been used for ages...they have always correlated with the numbers...except earlier in the year when max cleland, leading by 45% lost by almost 63%...that's pretty unprecedented...strangely enough electronic voting machines without paper trails were used...and apparently the drudge report, notoriously right wing, was reporting exit polls showing kerry winning in both ohio and florida...funny enough once again the results didn't match the exit polls...yet they did everywhere else in the entire country...sounds pretty fishy...it seems insane to me that you would have a voting system which had no way to recount...no back up...and run by private corporations...ain't that america...here's another <a href="http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/110604Z.shtml>good article</a> on the same thing...

The next election people will be voting with bullets, not ballots.

we could only hope...i think we will find that when this all comes out in the wash years from now that mr. bush will be known as the biggest political crook in history...he will make richard nixon look like choirboy...

Yeah, it was not reported anywhere other than by Indymedia... But it happened! Several of my friends went. I was too depressed to go :/ More protesting took place that morning (Wed) in front of the federal building, including more arrests.

I have a feeling there is a lot more of this going on all over America. I also have a feeling it is going to get nastier.
