Gimmicks of SNL and Joe the Plunger are now done, so can we get back to the Economy?

Cause the distractions are helping me forget that our fucking economy is falling apart as I type.

I just don't want to get sidetracked. I know when thinking about bad things, how easy it is.

:applause:

I'm so over that shit.

us to be distracted.....because if we can be so, then the American people can as well.

Focus like a laser beam on the economy should be our motto!

continually showing clips of it.

Is there money in that?

who thinks Social Security is a joke.

We need to let Seniors and others know what ideas John McCain admires!

Everything else is a distraction, Joe the Plumber, SNL, ACORN.

Forces are at work 24/7 to steal, purge, delete, and miscalculate votes, and hardly anyone is talking about it.

That's how we lost last time and that's how......well, I'm not going to say it.

is important.

GOP Strategy: Voter Suppression

In the 2000 Presidential election, reporter Greg Palast, author of "The Best Democracy Money can Buy," broke the story of Florida's illegal voter purges, in which Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris kept 57,000 votes, most of them African-American, from being counted. Their names resembled names of persons convicted of crimes. The state eventually acknowledged that the purge was improper - two years after the Supreme Court selection of George W. Bush.

During the 2004 Presidential election, 350,000 voters were disenfranchised in Ohio alone, enough to give the election to George W. Bush instead of the legitimate winner, John Kerry. The evidence was laid out in a Rolling Stone article by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.


Now, with the debates over and Obama enjoying a sizeable lead in election polls, the only question remaining is whether we will have a fair election. This would not be a question had suppressing the vote not become a cornerstone of Republican electoral strategy.

Paul Weyrich, a principal architect of today's GOP and co-founder with Jerry Falwell of the Moral Majority, infamously said, "Many of our Christians have what I call the 'goo-goo' syndrome - good government. They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote... As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."

Since 2003, according to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, at least 2.7 million new voters have had their applications to register rejected. "Tens of thousands of eligible voters in at least six swing states have been removed from the rolls or have been blocked from registering in ways that appear to violate federal law," the NY Times reported last week.

In the October 30, 2008, issue of Rolling Stone, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Greg Palast detail how deterring and discarding Democratic ballots may determine the next president. (Article not yet posted.)
