‘Daily Voting News’ For December 29, 2007

Share article:

Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org

Pennsylvania has now decertified all Advanced Voting Solutions voting systems used by three counties. This action followed the EAC’s cancellation of testing of AVS software. One of the three counties has already announced that they plan on filing suit against AVS for breach of contract. Can this be the end of another vendor?

Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner has now proposed that two or three counties test her newest plan to use vote centers in Ohio. The test would take place during the March 4 primary. There are now about 40 working days before the primary election. There are seven months between the primary and general election. Why this rush to test out major changes in elections in as short a period as possible? …

    The Republican Party is a sick joke, and the people of this country are fed up with them.
    From Nixon to Bush, and from Scooter to Larry “Toilet Stall” Craig, the Republicans have proven themselves to be a bunch of lying, corrupt, evil, perverted, over-spending crooks.
    When you look at all the money Bill Clinton left this country, it makes us all cry to know that Bush spent it all. Wow!
    When the money was gone, Bush went to China for help.
    Just think, we owe money to China!
    That is the Bush way.
    Cheney is no better.
    You can’t trust either of them.
    No one does.
    Why are we in Iraq?
    The war should be on terror, not in Iraq.
    Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, and yet Bush has spent all that money to fight “his” war.
    Yes his, because many Republicans have backed off from the war.
    By the way, the war in Iraq has cost the U.S. almost five hundred billion dollars.
    Forget Rudy.
    Rudy Giuliani is no hero.
    While he is often called the hero of 9/11, the truth is that Rudy was a terrible leader during his years as mayor of New York City.
    He made bad decisions and even took a girlfriend while being married.
    In fact, he even wanted his lover to live in the same house with his wife.
    Most people would call this perverted.
    New Yorkers were so sick of his antics, that they wanted him out of office.
    Then came 9/11.
    The only reason people call Giuliani a hero today, is because he just happened to be NYC’s mayor during that bad time.
    Any mayor would be looked at as a hero if they showed their face under those circumstances.
    If there was no 9/11, Rudy would have become a joke.
    This is not the kind of leader we want in the White House. In closing, the New York Post reported in their paper on April 23, that Giuliani spent more than $48,000 dollars of campaign money on posh hotels while claiming to have spent the least of all the Republican candidates.
    Rudy is a good time leader, and does it with other people’s money.
    Forget Mitt.
    His ads look bad.
    He can’t seem to get his facts right, and will say things to make himself look good.
    Red flags go up around him.
    I spoke with his son Tagg at the New Hampshire debates back in June (2007), and while he seemed like a nice man, Tagg could not get his facts right either.
    The worst Republican as of late, though, is Larry Craig.
    He is a lying pervert who wanted gay sex with a strange man on a dirty toilet seat.
    He pled guilty, then said he was not guilty.
    Say what?
    He is another Republican moron.
    Did you hear about Washington State Republican Rep. Richard Curtis?
    He offered $1,000 to a young man for unprotected sex while dressed in women’s lingerie.
    This sort of thing just goes on and on with them.
    Remember Mark Foley?
    Here is a letter I wrote that was in many newspapers and Web sites:

    Once again, the Republicans have turned my stomach with shocking and repulsive behavior.
    Mark Foley, a Republican member (now ex-member) of Congress, has sent many e-mails with perverted sexual content to a sixteen year old boy.
    This is the same man who while in Congress, backed a bill that was meant to protect children from child predators.
    Foley himself, is a man who preyed on a child with lust.
    What is also incomprehensible, is the fact that some Republicans knew of Foley’s behavior, and yet, did not take a hard stand against this until it became public news. If I had a teenage son and/or daughter, I would not want them to go near any Republican leader for fear of either or both becoming a victim of a sick Republican pervert.

    George Vreeland Hill

    There are more than three hundred such letters this year alone in newspapers.
    Many of them in New Hampshire.
    There are thousands on the Internet.
    No lie.
    THOUSANDS!
    In fact, one Republican in California wanted me stopped once, because I was hurting some Republicans in their elections.
    I just want to do my part in helping to get rid of every Republican scumbag.
    From phone scams to the Union Leader (NH) covering up for Republicans, the garbage never ends.
    But the Republican Party will end.
    Did you know that George W. Bush once made fun of the issue of Weapons of Mass Destruction?
    He did, and in front of some shocked people during a black-tie event in 2004.
    He said…. (While looking under a piece of furniture) “Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be here somewhere.”
    Then, while pretending to look out of a window, Bush laughed as he said….. “Nope, no weapons over there.”
    While he was laughing, there were men and women fighting and dying in Iraq because of WMD.
    George W. Bush should be removed from office because of that alone.
    Face it, Bill Clinton lied about having sex, and was impeached because of it.
    George W. Bush however, did far worse, as he laughed at the very people who are fighting for the United States of America!
    That about sums it all up!
    (By the way, this Bush/WMD was part of an article and letter I wrote as well.)
    John McCain laughs at war as well.
    He changed the words to a popular Beach Boys song to Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Iran.
    What a jerk.
    He bashed Hillary for her Woodstock plans because it would cost one million dollars.
    He even tried to put the Woodstock goers in a bad light with his own ad.
    Someone running for such a high office should never use people for his own gain.
    McCain also needs to get his facts right.
    He says the Democrats are big spenders, but it is the Republicans who have spent so much money.
    The Republican Party is a mess, and getting worse.
    People do not trust any of them, and we are all tired of their act.
    I am doing my best to make sure that no Republican wins an election.
    Thank you for your time.

    This is what I been saying. PLEASE EVERYONE DON’T OVERLOOK THIS

    The future template. (This is I believe with the following stipulation what we absolutely need, if they roll this out nationally with the stipulation below, I will be happy to shut the fuck up about all this right now.)

    Now only they need to PRINT ballots, then HAND COUNT them with PUBLIC OVERSIGHT. And we are HAVA compliant!

    Okay America, I’ve been holding on by a skinny thread, this thread. You see my Dad died this year and as I’ve posted before here, he was so DIS “enchanted” as a REAL Conservative he wouldn’t even turn the tv on anymore. I have to say he made the right choice. In the middle of our latest puddle of BLOOD, who would YOU say is responsilbe?

    Dredd,
    I get it. I do.

    I only hope that anyone reading this thread who swore an oath to protect the President Of The United States and the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, take a fucking step back, and a hard look at themselves, and ask.

    “What the fuck are you doing to protect the US Constitution? Why the have you allowed it not be protected? When are you going to do what you swore an oath to do?”

    If your answer is never. Then why should anybody give you one bit of respect ever again?

    I am not sure what the complete path to restoring the US Constitution is. But I know enough that if the elections are run by machines that tabulate votes again, and by people who stop votes, the US Constitution will NEVER be restored.

    That’s no small matter. It’s why these electronic voting machines that tabulate votes are indeed a national security problem. This isn’t tin foil hat George Noory/ArtBell bullshit, it’s real, just like the real lies coming out of the mouth of corporate media.

    The last part of the puzzle before things hit the twilight zone (full valves open) is net neutrality. People need to be become aware, and become active. Don’t just read this thread and think someone else is going to fix the US Constitution and go back to your brain numbing bullshit. You have got to fight every thing, and you don’t have ANY time left to school yourself on how to do it.

    You know what’s right, you know what’s wrong, and you know if you swore an oath or not.

    And finally, if you didn’t swear an oath. Perhaps even if you are a civilian right now, you should swear an oath to protect the United States Constitution. Forget the President at the moment.

    PROTECT YOUR OWN GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO LIVE

    I hate these long winded things, but I hope somebody out there finally fucking gets it, this shit is destroying my life, I hate these oath breaking fucking people at this point. YOU ARE DOMESTIC ENEMIES! I type these long winded things, because I care, because unlike you I am trying to fucking fix it. You may just blow me off, and go back to your other regularly scheduled smoke and mirrors, and let time keep going by, eventually your going to see how dark your future is going to be. It will be too late then and you will remember these words when you are finally boxed in with nowhere to go, by your ignorance and circumstances. Sure if you are playing the stocks or have lots of money, you might be able to get by, and watch everyone else get fucked. It’s people like me that always gave *everything* for you to have your fucking right to do that!

    You know I speak the truth. You know.
