Subject: The Florida & Ohio ELECTION FRAUD...

... this is SERIOUS, and it's FRAUD!

The 2 pivotal States which swung the U.S. 2004 election for Bush were in fact HIJACKED: "Blackwell supervised the Ohio vote... he also served as co-chair of the Ohio Bush-Cheney re-election campaign, a clear conflict of interest..."

Hearings on Ohio voting put 2004 election in doubt: by Bob Fitrakis & Harvey Wasserman (freepress.org)

... and Jeb Bush, the GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA, is the President's LITTLE BROTHER for god's sake, and was a major player, (carefully fronted by Katherine Harris in order to keep his hands clean,) in the 2000 HIJACKING of the presidential election:

Berkeley Researchers Report "Unexplained Discrepancy" in FLA Vote Totals (BuzzFlash)

Given everything that we now know, who among the intelligent thinkers on this planet hasn't yet connected the dots, after reading STORY UPON STORY of massive voting irregularities on November 2nd??

These are NOT mere SNAFU's or coincidences, this is a WIDESPREAD CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT FRAUD!!!! (*yes, gasp! I've used the dreaded "C" word...)

Rove and Company may well get away with this despicable travesty of justice & democracy if the American sheeple simply do as they're told and "move on"... (*speaking of which: where IS "Moveon.org" at this crucial time?? Oddly silent...)

Folks, this ain't "over" till the fat lady sings on Dec. 3rd. Save your country & your democracy. SPREAD THE WORD.

Thank you, BUZZFLASH, for providing this indispensable public forum.

Subject: Karl Rove

Everyone should read the book "Bush's Brain." Because oddly enough Bush's Brain is Karl Rove. The man that will stop at nothing to win and he has won. He will do anything it takes to get what he wants and still to this day he is the mastermind behind the Bush Administration.

If we all begin to understand and look at Karl Rove and his techniques maybe then we can move forward to get back to Democracy.

You can get the book at your local library. I suggest strongly that you read it and then think about what I have said.

Subject: National unity

Hey Buzz,

Let me say, first off, that I have a great fondness for Bill Clinton now, and always have had. I've been one of his most ardent supporters from the get-go and through thick and thin. What's more, I yearn for national unity too, right along with him. But the kind of national unity which both of us fondly envision presupposes an opposition which operates on the rational, not the limbic, level.

Given the nature of this animal which is our opposition, we must, for now, forego any chimeric pipe dream of national unity, because this animal will not ever be working toward this admirable goal, but, instead, always at cross purposes to this goal - i. e., always in pursuit of what it perceives to be its own narrow self-interest. The only realistic option we have in dealing with this animal is to keep the pressure relentlessly on and to keep it always on the defensive - otherwise it will devour us piecemeal. Every time we let our guard down, it will sucker punch us yet again, and advance its Gulagian agenda just a little bit more each time, until it has everything it wants, and we're left with nothing.

Come to think of it, I believe that Bill Clinton, in his heart of hearts, really understands this "real world" context in which we find ourselves. I would suspect that all this talk about national unity is intended for public consumption, to make us look noble, which we are, of course, compared to the opposition - but we're not stupid. So, we will continue to profess our commitment to national unity, which we do truly believe in, but in the full knowledge that the opposition has no time for any such thing. The only thing that they understand is zero-sum. I'm sure an astute politician like Bill Clinton "gets it."

The "loyal" opposition is single-minded about implementing its agenda of greed - be it by hook or by crook. As long as it is motivated by blind avarice, there is no hope of reaching any rational accommodation. Given this "real world" context, we have no choice but to fight it tooth and toenail every step, nay, every inch of the way. May God grant us the strength to prevail.

Best regards,

G. Will Hunter


Subject: Greenspan Warning

The persistence of bloated trade deficits over time can pose a risk to the US economy, Alan Greenspan, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, warned today....

The reductions in the massive red ink of the Bush administration will result in drastic cuts in spending affecting all but the tax cuts for the wealthy.

Subject: Democratic party incompetence

The Bush administration just floated a trial balloon which proposed to pay for large tax cuts for rich people with tax increases (by way of eliminating deductions for state and local taxes) on the middle class.

Bush also proposed eliminating the tax deduction to businesses for providing health insurance to their employees.

Bush Plans Tax Code Overhaul (Washington Post)

Yet, the Democrats aren't all screeching at the top of their lungs that Bush wants to raise taxes on the middle class, and take away their health insurance coverage.

It doesn't matter what the specifics are. THEY SHOULD BE SAYING THIS 24-7 UNTIL BUSH CRIES!

It's exactly the type of demagoguery the GOP would pull against a President Kerry.

Yet, we barely whimpered about it.

Pathetic.

If we want to win elections, we have to start playing hardball. And I don't mean the Chris "Tweety" Matthews variety.

Subject: It's NOT the message, stupid!

Buzz,

Why is the obvious so hard for some people to see? What is it going to take to get these professional politicians to grow a spine and stand up for themselves for once? The democrats can forget about changing or fine tuning their message. They can forget about getting out the vote. It won't make a hill of beans worth of difference from here on out. Anyone who believes that any election after this point will reflect true voter sentiments, or even be in the ball park, is a fool. The fix is in. Bev Harris is a patriotic and courageous woman, and I worry for her safety. People could go to prison for what she's uncovering.

The repugs have hackers on the payroll. What the dems need now are better hackers on the payroll. It's turned into a game of who can keep the loyalty of the best criminals. Precinct by precinct, the repugs
killed democracy with a thousand little cuts. And, don't think for a minute that the big media bozos don't know what happened. The mainstream press is well aware of the shocking degree of fraud that occurred in the 2004 elections, and it's going to protect the Bush dynasty at all costs. The press has betrayed each and every citizen by not reporting on all of the voting "irregularities" and investigating them. It's lost my trust completely. From now on, I'll get my news EXCLUSIVELY from overseas outlets and internet sites like this.

The democrats are running around like chickens with their heads cut off, wondering what went wrong with their message. They're fools. They've bought into the biggest con of all. Nothing was wrong with
their message. The people voted overwhelmingly for Kerry. How can they be so stupid that they can't see what is plain to see?

Psychologists must be in heaven. They have one of the largest experiments in self-deception, denial and groupthink in the history of the world going on right under their noses.

Subject: We Need Show and Tell in US Government . . .

BuzzFlash,

Homeland Security Employees Required to Sign Secrecy Pledge . . .

Well, isn't secrecy one of the main causes of all the deaths on 911? Bush and Rice, Bush's devoted one, knew at least a month before 911 and chose not to tell anyone . . . other than those Republicans who did not fly commercial airlines after they were warned . . . Ashcroft for one. Then there are the suicides and deaths in Guantanamo, also Bush's secrets, and add everything else this administration has done . . . all hush, hush . . . secrets and lies. Secrets and lies mean one thing . . . corruption and illegalities. Passivity of the Congress, well placed partisan judges, plus our laws, make it too easy to defraud the American people and our Democracy through our government.

Government works only when it recognizes that it works for Americans . . . Bush and his administration work for us . . . they don't have the right to their secrecy . . . laws that protect criminals should be abolished and any law that protects those guilty of crimes against the American people who are supposed to be trusted with our government, should be exposed and brought to justice and pay a "higher price" than those American citizens in our prisons today serving time for their crime.

America is more than a corporation. Will somebody break the news to the Republicans that they do not own this Country . . . when do we demand that this administration learn how to run a government . . . take a class in show and tell . . . do the work of a real government and not their own interpretation of it?

Just askin,

Thanks BuzzFlash,
