When will the MSM release the 2008 Exit Poll Report? (TIA) - x

and you have only to review the facts of our election system, since the plague of privatized machines was fast-tracked across the land during the 2002 to 2004 period--virtually all of our elections now run on 'TRADE SECRET,' PROPRIETARY programming code, owned and controlled by far rightwing corporations, with virtually no audit/recount controls--to know just how frightened and desperate our war profiteers and other corporate monsters, and their handmaids--our national political establishment--have become.

The most famous "Blue Dog" was Gary Condit, the leader of the so-called Democrats who voted for Bush/Cheney's first tax cut for the rich on May 3, 2001--a very close and controversial vote on which only ten Democrats voted yes, insuring its passage. One of Condit's proposals in Congress was to post the Ten Commandments in all public buildings. He was the darling of the Bush White House. In fact, two days before the tax cut vote, two things of note occurred: one of Condit's several mistresses, a young Bureau of Prisons intern, Chandra Levy, disappeared, and, on the same day--and, as it turned out, during her very disappearance hours--Condit met with Dick Cheney--a meeting concerning which neither our benighted corporate 'news' flaks, nor the FBI (which was under investigation by a House committee of which Condit was a member), nor the DC police, nor anybody else in US powerdom expressed the slightest interest. Something not right there. But, anyway, that's my model of a "Blue Dog"--utter hypocrite, traitor to the Democratic Party, and actually worse than a Bushwhack, cuz you can't see its stripes.

Money, corporate media and Diebold & brethren 'elected' these low life politicians--not the people. And, considering the easy--EASY--direct power that rightwing corpos now have over election tallies, it is no surprise to me that they shaved Obama's mandate--no doubt to curtail any serious reform of our filthily corrupt corpo/fascist government. In truth, it was inevitable. Bad guys don't achieve that kind of power and then not use it.

I can just feel it.
