The illegal Blackwell lockdown, the statistically-impossible voting irregularities and the unconscionable conflicts of interest between the voting machine companies, the Republicans and the Secretary of State...why do we have to find out about them in little-known newspapers, DU or a blog? The Conyers hearing for members of Congress, the OH recount and the impending Arnebeck lawsuit have barely been blips on the screen in MSM. It's shocking.
I'm sick of reading about major news stories like the illegal lockdown on a blog or Green County Gazette. The fact is, the RW will get away with screwing us in this election by any means--legal or illegal--if there is not massive public scrutiny and emotional groundswell. Consequently, the courts will have no pressure NOT to continue to politicize their decsions about voting problems. We will lose every case, regardless of merits, without public outcry. And unless a Big Gun steps up and makes a stink about these problems, nothing will ever get "scandalized" and things will continue to get minimalized.
Big Politician Screaming + Scandal = MSM News.
But we have no Big Politician Screaming. Nobody with a true voice has stepped up--Kennedy, Moore, Clinton, or JFK--so the story has gotten zero traction. Vote fraud has been successfully marginalized to being glitches, quirks and other cute mishaps, and this fact has been met with SILENT APPROVAL by the only people who could force MSM to deal with it.
If Kerry's playing it for 2008, then he's an idiot. He'll be bagging groceries by then after Bush finishes dismantling this country. If he looks the other way on Blackwell's misdeeds here and now, then when BushCo becomes the law, he shouldn't complain later when he's required to bow to the King.
Bottom line is, the time is NOW for our leaders to speak. If they don't do some squaking and holding Blackwell's feet to the fire, then this story will be buried before the work week starts. The Arnebeck lawsuit will be called a nuisance complaint, the objections to the lawlessness in OH will be forever reduced to sour grapes conspiracy theories and Chimp will cruise into the WH.
I have believed Kerry is playing coy, along with the other Dem Big Guns, simply because the collective Silence Is Deafening. To me, this silence means one of two things: *they are organizing a carefully thought out, powerful legal response to the voter fraud and illegal elections practices of the 2004 Presidential Election, OR *they are as partners in crime with the MSM and BushCo in this scandal to end all scandals.
For me, I think we can wait no longer. We will know the answer within 48 hours what place our Dem leaders will have in history.
