Not to mention electronic voting machines that default to Bush Cheney all by themselves.
Good for Howard Dean. I am tired of having to kowtow to a minority of fascist/theocrat/extermist/phonies that portray themsleves as the majority of this country because they own the big five media outlets and continuosly feed the American public a steady diet of hate and propaganda.
Does anyone, anyone here without running to Google know how many people have been killed in Iraq? When was the last time you heard it on the news?
What about the Downing Street Memo?
First the Democratic Party gets crticized for not having a spine and then when people like Reid and Dean speak their mind they are excoriated for it. You can't have it both ways.
What about when Cheney told Pat Leahy to go f*ck himself on the Senate floor?
If you really want to get down to the nitty gritty, I can bust out some quotes from the more extremist wing of your party and they ain't pretty.
The last real election in this country occured in 1996.
After that DeLay began all this bull**** with redistricting and took the House Of Representatives. Guess what? The courts ruled that was done illegally. Too late. That horse has left the barn.
So no, the Democratic Party doesn't need to figure out how to get out the vote. We need to find a way to stop the GOP from stealing elections and prosecute them for the high crimes and misdemeanors that they have perpetrated in the last five or so years.
