advantage to Republicans and Scab Democrats by sheer numbers, in some instances. I don't at all mean to discourage voting. I think our motto should be "Help us overcome the fraud--Vote!" I think our strategy should be based on truth and on reality. It's much better for people to know the odds--than to suffer feelings of discouragement and demoralization afterward, thinking they lost--and that other voters have gone nuts.
We cannot go on with this fraudulent election system. It is the means by which our country is being destroyed. We MUST tackle it in every way possible--and, even though the election reform movement is still in its infancy, we are already scoring successes (in No. Carolina, Florida, New York, California, New Mexico and other places).

I also think Kerry could have overcome the fraud IF he had been anti-war and more principled on issues like torture and universal health care. I'm pretty sure the electronic fraud in 2004 had to be done with pre-programmed percentages, that Kerry was beating those percentages, and that's why they went to Plan B: Ohio--overt, risky suppression of black and other Democratic votes. Ergo: Another way to beat them is to go way left! --which is more in line with the MAJORITY!
