A Crazy Conspiracy Theory? Or what....
Just as soon as DU started up the "Don't trust San Diego's Vote Count" Zarquawi makes the news, again.

Too, is the story out of Iowa of the ES&S machines stealing an election.

All this on the heels of RFK Jr.'s questions about the voting process.

Well, if i was Rove, i'd a been ready. Ya think Rove was ready? Is it really all that important to squash 'Stolen' election stories?

6. New anthrax scare (yesterday)
Gunman in Congressional halls (last week) These guys will say ANYTHING to keep us off the stolen election(s) topic. This morning, we have the death of a terrorist. Wonder what is in store for us on the day Turd Blossom is indicted?

3. You're observant.
Certainly makes more sense than anything else.

Distract and dazzle with bullshit while the real show goes on behind the curtain.

4. If I were a conspiracy theorists . . .
. . . I'd say it had a lot more to do with losing the anti-gay marriage vote in the senate.

5. Some people shouldn't be allowed to vote
I think plenty of conservatives believe there are some Americans who aren’t entitled to vote, particularly if they're minorities or poor. That's why in Ohio and Florida they’re actively trying to stamp out voter registration drives. Did anybody see the recent editorial in the New York Times on this subject?

If conservatives will publicly go this far to deny people the vote, can you imagine what they're willing to do in secret? Why do you think they claim there's no need for a paper trail for electronic voting? I recently published a novel set thirty years from now in which voting is conducted through the internet and all Americans are assigned a web address at birth along with their social security number. This effectively eliminated the need for voter registration, but unfortunately the results of the elections are all decided in advance by five powerful right-wing extremists. No paper trails required because the American people have been assured that internet voting is infallible.

I've heard liberal commentators say that it’s a waste of time to encourage people who are ignorant and uninformed to get out and vote. Apparently they think the only people whose vote should be counted are conservative Republicans. That's why it's always been the job of liberals to look out after those whose voices would otherwise not be heard.
