The Fight To Steal This Election Has Begun!


John McCain has nothin'.

No natural constituency, other than those trained to "piss down" and hate. No clear plan to solve any of the problems the U.S. faces today. No ideas. No competent, non-self-interested advisers. Rest assured, if he did have any of these, you'd be hearing about them 24/7.

He knows he has nothin'.

So, he's gambled a few different times, on Sarah Palin, on fake-suspending his campaign, on elbowing his way into the Wall St. plan, and he's come up snake eyes each time.

So now, with no alternatives, he looks to the Karl Rove Machine to steal the election for him.

Yes, it is time:
If YOU LOVE THIS COUNTRY, it is time for the torches and the pitchforks!


Here is the report from the Brennan Center for Justice on how the GOP is fighting to take your country away from you, which was reported the other night on CBS. They scream, "vote fraud!" near any camera that's rolling, to put the Dems on the defensive, while they commit: vote fraud!

(The CBS video is directly below here. We're having trouble with it embedding and showing up correctly. Roll over the large space here, and it should pick it up. If it doesn't show up, here's the URL to the video:
CBS Report on Voter Purging)




Be afraid; be very afraid!

There is NO Right or Wrong for the Republican Party.

Only In Power or Out Of Power. And as we've seen, they'll do anything to stay In Power.

If you hear ANYONE mention that they've been disenfranchised for any reason, inform them to SUBMIT A PROVISIONAL BALLOT ANYWAY, THEN CALL THE VOTER HOTLINE AND COMPLAIN. DO NOT LET THEM BACK DOWN!

Everyone should check their registration to avoid any nasty Republican surprises on election day. I just did, and it's correct.

Never listen to any Republican on any matter. They cannot tell the truth; about anything. They lie. It's in their DNA. They'll tell you the polling place has moved; that you can certainly vote in the few days after election day; that you need an ID card (in the states where you don't); that "they're" arresting people who (do)(don't) have or are this or that. In some areas, it's been done to have off-duty cops hanging around, guns visible, to intimidate American citizens out of exercising their right to vote.

All of these are lies and deceptions. Told only to keep you away from voting. It's what they do in Third-World Countries. This is all treasonous behavior. If you are eligible to vote; if you are registered to vote, GO VOTE! No one can stop you. Threaten to sue any and everyone who attempts to stop you. Get the names of everyone involved. Take their pictures.

If McCain wins this election, as things stand now, it will be nothing less than a Coup d'Etat. It will be a stolen election, like the 2000 and 2004 elections were stolen, not won.

If the people of Zimbabwe can stand up to the murder of their citizens by dictator Robert Mugabe, until he was forced to relent and cede power to the elected opposition, we can be no less brave and strong.

Here's a calculator to help you get a clearer picture of just how you'd make out under Obama's tax plan, rather than just extending the Bush tax cuts which is all that McCain is proposing.




Stop the heartbreak of catalog glut.
