If so, look for our regime to blame it on Chavez. Forever making boogy men, politics of fear, break the law and blame the or an opposition. Geez!!I hope I am just old, paranoid, cynical, and completely wrong. Still, I am leery...... http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/10/31/9461.aspx#9490Tue, 31 Oct 2006 15:06:26 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:9490Steve Turner Cedar Falls IowaHow about checking to see if the Incumbent Government we have now has any undue influence on U.S. Electric Elections. With all the talk about something happening in Ohio back in '04, one begins to wonder. Election tampering? This bunch? Or the 2000 elections, with known Voter-tamperer Renquist giving it to the GOP? Couldn't happen? Call me unconvinced...because I am.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/10/31/9461.aspx#9532Tue, 31 Oct 2006 16:56:50 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:9532Nikki, Lancaster, PAI could scream-all the many things this congress should be investigating and they waste their/our time w/ this Chavez propaganda BS. Cheney's ties w/ Halliburton and Bush's w/ Diebold are a helluva lot more of a threat. Chavez doesn't threaten us, the American people, he only threatens Bush & co (and their millionaire buddies) for if we looked objectively, we might like what we see when government is actually helping people, and caring about fair trade policies. They hate him cause he's gotten Venezuela out from under the World Banks thumb, and taking millions from his country's resources out of corporate, like Big oil's, pockets. Be very careful what our government and media say about Chavez-the propaganda is dizzying.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/10/31/9461.aspx#9536Tue, 31 Oct 2006 17:05:52 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:9536TheDog in PSL, FLDown here in former Rep Foley's district, it was too late to reprint ballots after his resignation. He has been replaced by Joe Negron. Election supervisors were going to provide notices that said, "A vote for Foley counts for Negron, a vote for Mahoney counts for Mahoney." The Dems sued to stop this from happening. Why would they attempt to keep voters from understanding who they are voting for? Don't the Dems always call this "disenfranchising"? The courts threw their complaints out. One advantage of being an independent is that it is a lot easier to see the hypocrisy of the 2 major parties. When an issue like this comes up, the parties will take whichever position gives them the advantage, even if it conflicts with positions they've taken in the past.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/10/31/9461.aspx#11312Tue, 07 Nov 2006 05:56:41 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:11312Jane, Southern MississippiOwen, you are old, paranoid, cynaile, and completely wrong. It's happened before to the detriment of our country. Thirteen states have NO PAPER TRAIL for the voting machines. The machines have been shown to incorrectly record votes - HBO special, Lou Dobbs, Keith Oberman, etc. Our country wants change, and we will not accept a rigged election this time. Too much is at stake.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/10/31/9461.aspx#190330Mon, 14 May 2007 01:43:12 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:190330ron ostheimer ,corona,ca.just a short question. why have i never heard a conserative commentator lose a on air debate? good screener? photographic memory?http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2006/10/31/9461.aspx#190333Mon, 14 May 2007 01:46:29 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:190333ron ostheimer,corona,ca.why do we expect radical islamists to go against their beliefs if when asked would you go against yours?
