You could have made a real issue out of this.
The Dems wanted a paper-ballot to prevent fraud.
But the GOP fought this and won. No paper ballot.

So now, we are hearing that the exit polls were wrong.
We should trust the GOP that the machines recorded the votes accurately. Maybe they did. But who counts the votes? And how can they prove it?

There is still no paper ballot proof for the Magic Touchscreens.

And as for the Optical Scammers, what must we do to get a recount wherever they were used? Call Jeb Bush. Ask him.

It's never too late.

4. My sample email
Hi Folks,

You know that we love what you have done for democracy over the years. But you dropped the ball bigtime on this election fraud issue. What kind of a republic has a worse audit trail for its elections than for its cash machines? Only one that has given over its freedoms to a corrupt consortium of private industries leagued with Big Oil and Secret Government. The stink from Diebold, ESS, and Sequoia rises to heaven and offends the Gods. And where are you -- the cherished guardians of journalistic responsibility? MIA, for all we can tell.

Please get on the story. Don't delay. Don't let the bullies threaten you into silence. We need your moral courage with us.

Thanks.

2. I can't believe the post you refer to was a year and 10 days ago...
And you had so much supporting evidence THEN, that I couldn't even begin to read it. What to do now? Start a thread to request action from 60 minutes on the Diebold issue NOW? Why does the media refuse to discuss the obvious problems. A question I've had, that has never been adequately answered: What percentage of all voting methods used in the 2004 Presidential election were via Diebold, ES &S, Sequoia, etc. (i.e. contaminated)?

6. Isn't CBS owned by Viacom, CEO is Redstone, a major bushie
He said, and I'm paraphrasing, "I will do what's best for Viacom, and I support bush."

In other words, why harm a hair on the goose that's laying your golden egg?

8. Remember, Morley? Remember, Mike? Remember, Andy?
I guess you all thought there was no problem.

Move along, nothing to see here.

Well, take a look around.

9. It would be viewed as Rathergate II
The 60 Minutes crew is viewed, fairly or not, as being against Bush by a large segment of the population.
