Means, Motive, Opportunity-Scenario: 2006 Mid-Term Election
Means, motive, opportunity
Scenario: 2006 mid-term election

By Ernest Partridge
Online Journal Guest Writer

April 15, 2005 (crisispapers.org)—By late summer 2006, the United States is in a desperate condition. Following the collapse of the dollar in international currency markets, there has been a cascade of business failures and mortgage foreclosures, and a precipitous rise in unemployment, as the US economy slides inexorably into a depression.

Meanwhile, the June 2005 American attack on Iran and the continuing war in Iraq has made the United States an international pariah state; thus the community of nations shows no inclination whatever to rescue the United States from its economic collapse.

<snip>

This time, the public is unconvinced by the GOP propaganda, as massive protest demonstrations erupt throughout the country. Finally fed up with the lies and greed of the GOP, and finally aware of just how much their livelihood and their future have been plundered by Bushenomics, more than two-thirds of the voters are about to go to the polls determined to throw out the Republican Congress.

The Republican-owned and Republican-coded “black-box” voting machines once again perform as intended, and the Republicans retain control of Congress. The astonished and disappointed public is once again told to “get over it.”

while it may seem childish and not necessarily funny to those of us who think a stolen election is serious business this is our best chance to reach the masses. Snarkliy entertaining and yada yada length with a song for all the Beck fans and this could spread like wild fire, inform the Daily Show and fark.com types AND piss off the freepers.

Thanks to DU member bleever for help with lyrics, slide guitar, cowbell and vocals on "loser"

Brainstorm for ideas on how to publicize this in a way that preserves the street cred...

4. Yes, we can not expect people to read a 93 page Conyers report
We must first entertain and then educate. This is why The Daily Show is so effective. It's CSPAN made funny.
