Dobbs: Democracy for Sale - simply hillarious
As if our democracy were not bought, sold, and wrapped in a bow as a nice keepsake of days past.

Now they want to get worried about it because the evil Hugo may have an influence over Sequoia?

Give me a freaking break.

3. thier heads were exploding
over the fact that Sequoia is owned by a Nicaraguan company.

They were just losing it that "our elections should be run by American people and companies" while having absolutely nothing to say about the fact that Diebold and ES&S are (a) corrupt, (b) totally partisan and (c) entirely inept.

6. Sequoia sold to a Fla company owned in Venezuela
Supposedly, Chicago bought their voting machines from this company and when they experienced problems the repair people from the company were VENEZUELANS!!! They come from a company KNOWN to have illegal elections (shows pic of Chavez).

2. Phony outrage
It never occurred to Lou to protest the ownership of voting machine companies by GOP elected officials and donors?

4. and did you notice the official who said voting should be owned by
American companies!
Companies?
Since when did our electoral process become the province of private companies -- American or otherwise -- instead of American citizens?

8. "These are the most arrogant, incompetent, bureaucratic idiots..."
I don't know. I rather enjoyed Lou's rant.
