A Little Political Porn

Posted by on August 1 at 15:24 PM

Via DailyKos:

With fewer than 100 days left before the Nov. 7 election, certain assumptions can now be made, contingent upon the absence of a cataclysmic event.

First, the political climate will be extremely hostile to Republican candidates. Second, while Republicans benefited from turnout in 2002 and 2004, this time voter turnout will benefit Democratic candidates. And third, the advantages that the GOP usually has in national party spending will be significantly less than normal.

In terms of the political climate, the facts are clear. All of the traditional diagnostic indicators in major national polls taken in the past 10 days show numbers consistent with an electoral rout.

So if the Republicans retain their control over Congress, we'll KNOW the fix is on with Diebold and friends.

exactly, Gomez. either that or they'll trick us with another fake crisis and/or fake war.

Hey, I see WMDs! There, in um Iran, no um in Syria, no um in Lebanon, no um in Outer Mongolia!

oh, and did you hear about the little "reset" switch on the Diebold machines discovered on slashdot.org today? Ignore that, it's not like it's there so they can fix the elections ...

There is a backslash story on it today, with some of the better comments.

My favorite: A comparison between LV's rules for slot machines vs the total lack of security for the computer voting machine.

Remember, it's not that they're out to get you.

It's that they're immoral, lying red commie Bushies and they want to make George Bush our King no matter how often they have to Lie, Cheat, and Steal.

one chicken, two chickens, three chickens...
Wow, once these eggs hatch, I'm gonna have tons of chickens!

I was equally optimistic in 2004, only to be devastated after election day. No more counting chickens for me.
