Let the lawsuits begin

That's all I have to say.

Bev Harris

The early call on this doesn't seem kosher at all.

nt

how would you know?

65,000 documents. Without knowing what's in them, you have no idea.

Lawsuits rarely overturn elections. And that's the reality.

It says "let the lawsuits begin."

The remedy of the lawsuits is not on the discussion table just yet -- your tossing up a straw man ("won't overturn the election") and then shooting it down just demonstrates that you have an agenda.

I said, "Let the lawsuits begin."

That's all I said.

I just don't see you prevailing. And people will dismiss you as being "sore losers".

And who gives a shit about what people want to characterize it as. They said Gore was a sore loser too, but he should have fought harder. He could have won that one, if he didn't have a mole as an advisor. He had an easy path to a win had he chosen the right course of action instead of listening to Grima Wormtongue.

Frankly, you make a lot of assumptions.

the recall.

It sounded like they were going to start litigating.

I say good.

Gore should have fought harder, and should have used the law.

And I don't think this recall is at all constitutional.

should have fought harder. I'm afraid that the fighters in this party are hindered by the chickens and cowards. There has got to be immediate changes made or good bye party. I listened to former Gov Ann Richards of Texas on C- span, said she left the state of Texas with 2 billion surplus and if she had known she was going to loose she would have spent every dime of it.I know that this is off subject but I say if you're going down why not fight on your way.

who the HELL cares what those idiots who voted arnold in will think of us?! my god!

this is about doing what's right. and fighting. not trying to appease the enemy and succumb to their schemes.


shameful. just shameful.


yes, bev, let those lawsuits begin. it's gonna be ugly indeed.

This is about what's right. There are many possible causes of action, many possible plaintiffs, many possible remedies.

Each one that brings us closer to getting accountability back into our voting system is worth doing, and who cares what the wormtongue crowd wants to whisper in our ears.

Do what's right, people. Some are. Like Kucinich. Like Dean. And there are more.

Hey Carlos... Sh*v* It!!!

Tonight's not the night for Centrist pep talks!!!

:grr::nuke::mad:

you obviously have one. It's ok your but one voice...and your on the loosing side.

Let your instincts BE YOUR GUIDE....

:)

With all due respect, disregarding my real feelings in the header, you've filled way too many threads with nothing but loosing phylosophies (spelled "crap"). Look, I also don't subscribe to some of the a-little-too-left stuff here, but I DO subscribe to Dem victories. IMHO, you're not understanding what kind of voter we have to go after. They're not here, and they're not on FR. More than likely, they're spending about 1/1000 of the time we spend thinking about issues. It's a sheep thing. No disrespect, but it's way easier to rah-rah with the flock than to make a stand. We have to change the reason for rah-ing. It used to be worker's rights, public schooling, a better life for my offspring. It's now, how big(and flat) my TV is, Hummers, and dude, look at my debt. I've digressed, but making this look like a Repuke power grab is most important. And how would YOU do that?

Thanks for the update.

is California up to it? And are the Dems up to it? This is a fight to the bitter end. We cannot give up and let them steal another one. I always have hope that the truth will set us free.

It's just a matter of wishful thinking.

I submit that your claim to know what the evidence is and how the lawsuits will be framed (as of now, just 54 minutes after the polls have closed) speaks volumes about your bias, and in fact, your role as a propagandist.

I've followed your threads for weeks on end here. And you haven't shown anything to me that makes me think you are right.

You raise legitimate concerns, I will concede that. But you annd your supporters seem to scream "election fraud" all the time.

Do you think the no votes on Prop 53 and Prop 54 were stolen too? Or were those "fair elections" because they supported your position?

What you are doing is basically acting like the "Boy Who Cried Wolf". So when real fraud happens, in an actual close election, people will shrug their shoulders.

Again the odds of a lawsuit overturning the election of Arnold are nil. You would have to have the equivalent of Jesus's second coming to prove this.

And I don't think you do.

argument. You actually have no idea, if you haven't looked at the evidence, which you haven't, and by the way, a bunch of posts on a discussion board do NOT constitute the body of my work. Read a book.

I'll read it.

that is BULLSHIT! or you would know the fecking title.

heh. How dainty.

Hi GB&C.

there are kids present.

:evilgrin:

I would have thought everyone would have you on ignore by now.....

DOH! Silly me.....I'll take care of that right away.....

Keep fighting The Good Fight.....

Don't Give Up.....

I have a feeling that is what a great deal about tonight was about....To make the Dems quit once and for all.....

I've got news for all of them.....You'll take this country over my Dead Body.....Don't make me prove it.....

TheWatcher

his posts here (like so many others of his) aren't worth this much of your (and my) energy...

why get bogged down with negativity and disruption?


keep fighting the good fight babe! lots of us are behind you!!!

poof. he's gone...

Thanks for the suggestion. :)

I no longer have to listen to the Freeper's bullshit, and it's awesome not to have to bore myself to tears with his grade-school semantics.

He's so not worth the time, Bev. Just put the fool on ignore, you need your attention elsewhere.

They're not going anywhere..we've been here before..
Interesting that McClintock was the "favored" person to win w/ 53% as reported on CNN..Plus, the oversexed goon will have a ball in the governor's mansion..they talked about Bill, well, this guy is WORSE.
This reminds me of 2000, they called * the winner early..major coup!

I got an e-mail from moveon.org saying that "the race was too close to call." But the minute the polls closed every network said Arnold won without batting an eye.

Obviously, someone is lying!

it to make it seem like it was fait accomplis (sp?)

Why... did Diebold finally hit you with a libel suit?

I ordered your book from Amazon and they sent an email saying it was not available. Normally they keep the order on hand and send it when they get it, but this time they said my credit card would be credited and that was the end of that. What's up with that? I live in CA and totally believe all I have read about your research, etc. When I voted today, we had the punch type ballots and, believe me, everybody was checking their chads; even the people working there asked if we checked them. I agree that the lawsuits should start, but the big one that has already been filed in the one regarding the energy crisis and the money we should have received from Enron, etc. This whole debacle was to save Cheney's butt; otherwise, he would have done a little jail time. Keep up the good work.

They usually don't sell books before the books are shipped to them, but they contacted us to start selling this one. Then their computer gagged, because that decision didn't match their system. It will get back in there shortly.

You just love that corporate fascist thang......

Blowing kisses*******

and Begala just told Blitzer that he's been talking to Dem acitivsts with $$$ who already want to start the recall of Arnold. They want to get it on the ballot in March to coincide with the primary.

Interesting since he's said that he'll lay out his plans and policies after the election. So, at least his opponents will have something to debate against.

I feel that the Dems need to get the guts, put on the boxing gloves and take on the Republicans. Marquis of Queensberry rules be damned. It's time to jump into the mosh pit and fight. Otherwise, we might as well just give up and suffer in silence while our democracy crumbles beneath our feet.

When a dapper gentleman gets attacked by a thug, it doesn't do any good to say please and thank you. At some point he's got to take a swing or get the stuffing beat out of him.

There are many ways to fight. Some of the Dems do realize that.

the dominant paradigm.

It's clobberin' time!

Some of us believe in what you are doing!

Bev, you don't want to say much about just what these lawsuits are about. But I'm really wondering about the results being plastered on cable. All the internal polling had been saying it was so close. I can't tell what they're basing on exit polls and what not. Can anyone tell me if these numbers have likely been BBVed? Do the before mentioned lawsuits have direct connection to BBV? Thanks.

The numbers aren't even close. The people have spoken.

LA is reporting a 10% turnout out of 3 million voters. Average statewide turnout is above 50%.

So the spread don't mean squat, there is still a potential million votes to be counted. Plus the provisional votes, seems the voter rolls got hosed in Dem precincts.

--a 10% turnout in LA? Only 10% of all voters in LA actually voted? That can't be possible. What are you looking at when you say Dem precinct voter rolls got hosed?

about people who have been registered for years, going to the polls and not being on the rolls, then getting a provisional ballot.

Here's the county returns: http://vote2003.ss.ca.gov/Returns/status.htm

There is possibly a million votes up in the air just with LA. More outstanding than the spread in question 1.

is what's been reported. Where are the news stories?--on local TV?

Of 4 million registered voters, 1.8 million (46.8%) turned out. With 95% reporting,
Yes 835,428 48.9%
No 872,095 51.1%

That's all she wrote.

*

Yes 1,877,080 55.3
No 1,522,186 44.7

precincts reg. voters precincts reporting
Alameda 1,010 706,056 0

Is Diebold having problems getting their fix in place in this county?
or what?

3.5% of of total Californians votes counted. I thought the turnout was heavy?

1,8877,080 yes
1,522,186 no

This doesn't "compute" to me.

Edited to add: considering the pop of California is 35 million

What if they get judges on their side? They rigged the election and they can pay off a judge.

:) Apparently we could use some recommendations.

is to move out of the country! i am looking to move to europe, i am getting out here while i can.

the vote2003.ss.ca.gov website went down?

I dunno why.

edit: the home page is up. just the linked pages are not working - the ones which show vote tabulations.

It makes me wonder what other technological problems they are having.

The site is back. It gives me faith in their ability to deal with technical problems.

JC

I just wonder if any data transmission errors occurred.

why don't you post a quick count of what the yes/no vote is now?

It still is down for me.

Yes 3,810,672 54.3
No 3,213,110 45.7

Yes 3,810,672 54.3
No 3,213,110 45.7

Oddly, it's not down, but blocked for me (I'm in Japan). I had to use a proxy (I used Google translator) to get to it.

I thought there would have been more.

with less than half the precincts reporting
