Even prominent Republicans now concede that George W. Bush presided over the destruction of America, the subversion of the Constitution, defiance of the rule of law. Bush did this by way of two stolen elections. This article reveals how they did it and proposes a 'fool proof' method by which elections can be made theft proof!

Princeton University has demonstrated how easily the GOP may 'hack' voting machines in key precincts, how simple it is to upload malicious code that turns votes for Democrats into votes for the GOP! It not enough to simply make this conduct punishable as 'high treason'. It can be prevented --thus sparing a guilty gopper hard time in a GOP 'corporate' prison guarded by Blackwater.

Bush and the Republicans "redistributed wealth" from the middleclass and poor to the rich! Their fascist media mouthpieces would like you to believe that's "OK" or they simply don't mention this fact, but they say it's a socialist sin to redistribute any of it from the rich back to the middleclass and poor. Why do you think our economy is tanking? Because all the wealth is in the hands of a few people, and they want it that way! If you have all the wealth, wouldn't you send out your mouthpieces to say "sharing is bad" and "sharing is voluntary"? There's over 50 million Americans without health insurance because we're waiting for people to "share the wealth". Apparently, waiting for them to volunteer to share their wealth isn't working!

STATEMENT BY ROBERT GREENSTEIN, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR,
ON THE NEW CENSUS BUREAU DATA ON POVERTY,
INCOME, AND HEALTH INSURANCE

Despite modest improvements in overall median income and health insurance coverage, the new Census data are disquieting. Though 2007 was the sixth (and likely the final) year of an economic expansion, 4.4 million more Americans were poor, the median income of non-elderly households was $1,100 lower, and nearly 6 million more Americans were uninsured than in 2001 — even though the economy was in recession that year.

This is unprecedented. Never before on record has poverty been higher and median income for working-age households lower at the end of a multi-year economic expansion than at the beginning. The new data add to the mounting evidence that the gains from the 2001-2007 expansion were concentrated among high-income Americans.

Understanding Bushonomics: How We Got Into This Mess In The First Place

In US economic decline, worst is yet to come

Bush is working to enact a wide array of federal regulations, many of which would weaken government rules aimed at protecting consumers and the environment, before President Bush leaves office in January.

2006 Paul Krugman: The Great Wealth Transfer. It's the biggest untold economic story of our time: more of the nation's bounty held in fewer and fewer hands. And Bush's tax cuts are only making the problem worse

Rush Limbaugh would have participated in an overthrow of FDR, if he was around at the time. He would've ran interference over the airwaves for Prescott Bush like Tokyo Rose.

Rush Limbaugh finally exposes that he is a mouthpiece for fascists and corporations. He links Obama to FDR, as if that's bad. That's bad, if you're a corporate fascist or a Republican! Rush Limbaugh thinks FDR was a terrorist. Rush Limbaugh must have grown up in a different country than I did. I learned in school, that FDR was one of our greatest presidents and he pulled us out of the Great Depression with the New Deal. The "New Deal" is a curse word for Republicans, corporations, and their fascist propaganda mouthpieces like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, and FOX news (among others). A Republican president put us in the Great Depression: Herbert Hoover. Another Republican president, George W. Bush, is putting us into Great Depression II. Rush Limbaugh speaks for fascists, Republicans, and corporations...not for us!!! Watch the video below, a BBC documentary that our corporate-controlled national media is keeping from us. Prescott Bush, George W. Bush's grandfather, hatched a plot with fellow rich businessmen to have a coup against FDR to create a fascist government, something they don't want us to know, but a part of history complete with congressional testimony of the man they approached to lead a coup against FDR: Admiral Smedley Butler. The apple didn't fall far from the Bush. If you think because you're a Republican voter that Bush is on your side...think again!

GOP Voter Suppression is the story! Not the GOP-fabricated non-existent Voter Fraud! (click on picture below, to enlarge in a new window)

"Joke Pick" Sarah Palin backfiring big-time on McCain:

Vice presidential contender Sarah Palin told ABC in an interview to air Thursday that she's not going to leave national politics if she doesn't enter the White House in January, fueling speculation that she's considering running for President in 2012.

"I think that, if I were to give up and wave a white flag of surrender against some of the political shots that we've taken...I'm not doin' this for naught," Palin told ABC's Elizabeth Vargas on being asked.

What's A Wigger???



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Retired Phillie Phan Phavorite Mitch Williams, who gave up the 1993 World Series-ending bottom of the 9th Home Run, may finally be forgiven!




Philadelphia Phillies are World Series Champs!!! Read below what it means to the fans of the championship-starved "tough" northeast town. On a personal level, I remember when the Phillies won the championship in 1980 as if it just happened yesterday. Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, Greg Luzinski, Garry Maddox, Bake McBride, Bob Boone, Larry Bowa, Tug McGraw, Del Unser, Pete Rose, Manny Trillo, Greg Gross, Bob Walk, Dickie Noles...yes, I just named all those players off the top of my head after all those years and I'll never forget them. Now I'll never forget the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies.


From the Philadelphia Inquirer: Phillies provide a season of memorable moments:

After 25 years of drought and two days of too much rain, Philadelphia has its championship.

It felt like a dream, but it wasn't. You are wide awake and the Phillies really are World Series champions. They beat the weather and the Tampa Bay Rays, 4-3, to earn just the second title in franchise history.

Philadelphia's quarter-century without a major sports championship is over - outta here - thanks to a gritty, talented team that won two games in one day and one game that took three nights.

"I grew up watching this silly team play," said Souderton native Jamie Moyer, who skipped school to attend the Phillies' only other championship parade in 1980. "And now I'm standing in their clubhouse as a player, and we won a world championship."

Moyer, eyes red from champagne and tears, took a breath.

"Wow," he said. "World championship. That's the first time I've ever used those words. It sounds great."

Moyer and a million friends will attend another parade tomorrow. It won't be in Boston. It won't be in New York City. It won't be in Los Angeles or Chicago and it sure as heck won't be in St. Petersburg, Fla.

It will be right down Broad Street, right under the approving gaze of Mr. William Penn, right through the still-racing heart of Philadelphia.

"We play in a tough-ass town to play in," Pat Burrell, the longest-tenured Phillie, said. "I'm proud of that. I don't think anybody in here knows this city and the way they think the way that I do. To be able to hand this over to them, this is as good as it gets."

So remember Brad Lidge, completing his personal perfect season by striking out pinch-hitter Eric Hinske for the final out. Lidge dropped to his knees as the sellout crowd at Citizens Bank Park roared, fireworks filled the sky, the Who blared on the PA system and the Phillies rushed to the mound to celebrate.

Remember Cole Hamels, seven months younger than our title drought, delivering five stellar postseason starts to earn the World Series MVP award.

Remember Charlie Manuel, awash in chants of his name, standing on the makeshift stage behind second base and holding up his index finger: No.1. Manuel, who buried his mother during the playoff run, promised Philadelphia a "grand parade," and he delivered.

"I know she'd be happy," Manuel told the crowd. "She'd be laughing and giggling."

Remember the Phillie Phanatic rushing across the field with the 2008 championship banner fluttering behind him on a pole.

"The Phanatic isn't as young as he used to be," said Tom Burgoyne, who is about the same age. "The fans got him around the stadium."

Remember Burrell delivering a 400-foot double in what might be his last at-bat as a Phillie.

Remember Pedro Feliz driving in the biggest run of the Phillies' season - the one that gave them a 4-3 lead in the seventh inning last night.

Remember every last thing Shane Victorino did: the grand slam, the two-run shot in L.A., the defense, the four-RBI game against the Dodgers, the beanball throwdown and, of course, the two-run single 48 hours before the end of Game 5.

Remember Ryan Howard's just-in-time power surge, and the electrifying moments when his moonshots landed amid the bouncing fans and clutching hands.

Remember Chase Utley's opening statement, a two-run homer in his first World Series at-bat to signal that these Phillies were different from the teams that had disappointed in every sport for the last 25 years.

Remember Jimmy Rollins for the leadoff home runs and for leading the way all along.

Remember Carlos Ruiz, the shy, smiling catcher, topping a ball 50 feet down the third-base line for the biggest little hit in Phillies history.

Remember Eric Bruntlett sliding safely home on the biggest little hit in Phillies history to win Game 4 at 1:47 a.m. Sunday.

Remember Joe Blanton and his no-way home run in Game 4.

Remember the fans who turned the Bank into the loudest, happiest, coolest place in sports for the past month.

Remember the 25 years. They're important. They were real, too, and they helped define this city as a sports town for way too long. It was long enough to turn passion too often to anger. Maybe this championship will turn the vinegar back into wine.

Remember 1964 and Black Friday and Joe Carter, because they're all just a little further away and a little less menacing than they were a week ago.

Remember the Phillies' 10,000 losses, because they make this one win all the better.

Remember the other, uncountable losses: the loved ones buried in their red caps and Eagles sweatshirts, the fathers and mothers, spouses and friends who didn't make it to this day. Even the die-hards die in time.

Remember the older loved ones you weren't sure would live to see it. Make a call. Give out hugs. Bask in this with the people who matter most.

Remember Tug and Whitey. Remember Vuke and the Pope.

Remember it all, savor every moment.

After all, you waited forever and a day.

The Republican Party in a nutshell: their highest ranking Senator guilty on all counts! What does that tell you about the Republican Party? Ironically, Republican Senator Ted Stevens is from Alaska, of all places! Can you name another high ranking politician from Alaska? None other that Sarah Palin! So Sarah Palin is "pallin' around with felons"! Ted Stevens helped Sarah Palin in her bid to become governor of Alaska! OUCH!!! THAT HURTS!!! Let's see how the rightwing media spins this one tomorrow! Maybe they'll just ignore reporting this.

Palin pallin' around with felon Ted Stevens. He helped her get elected governor of Alaska...WHOOPS!!! She's probably wearing clothes that aren't her property!

Ted Stevens, a pillar of the Senate for 40 years and the face of Alaska politics almost since statehood, was convicted of a seven-felony string of corruption charges Monday _ found guilty of accepting a bonanza of home renovations and fancy trimmings from an oil executive and then lying about it.

ES&S Touch-Screens Keep Flipping in WV, Now in At Least 6 Counties. Same ES&S iVotronics Flipping Votes from Democrats to Republicans (and others) in At Least 4 States. Warnings About Thes Machines Issued Long Ago, Yet Dems Continue to Allow Their Use...

With reports of voting problems rife in the media, and instances of vote flipping seen in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Texas, elections watchdogs are on their toes for any more foul play. In spite of their activism, 50,000 voters have been lopped off Georgia's rolls.

GOP Cyber security expert Stephen Spoonamore says that the GOP wanted e-voting to steal elections but now foreign governments will be hacking and the winner will be determined by the best hackers. He says that if the GOP wins the hacking competition, McCain will win 51.2 percent with three electoral votes over Obama, and it will be a stolen election.

NEPA's champion of democracy: Wilkes-Barre Times Leader's Richard Connor!


A real "patriot". Richard Connor, the Republican-leaning publisher of the Times Leader, wants to be thanked for letting democracy rule and a democratic vote by people at the Times Leader say who the paper endorses for president. Connor exposes what he really thinks of democracy in his opening sentence: "DEMOCRACY STINKS", he says. Yes, arrogant Republicans think democracy stinks when it doesn't work for them. Thank you for admitting that, Mr. Connor. The champion of democracy's board voted 5-4 to endorse Obama, and Mr. Connor likes democracy so much, he gave an impassioned speech to sway them to vote for McCain and have a re-vote. Yes, when Republicans lose in democracy, it calls for a re-vote. Mr. Connor: why don't you just keep re-voting until you win? In his column, he wants you to think he was a "great guy" for not vetoing the vote. He has veto power since he's the publisher. We are so proud of you for not vetoing democracy, Mr. Connor! You deserve an award! Sidenote: after his impassioned speech, one more guy switched to Obama in the "democratic re-vote" and it ended up 6-3 Obama. So much for Connor's "Gipper" speech. I have another question Mr. Connor: If you vetoed the Obama endorsement, would you have told us that? If McCain won the "re-vote", would you have told us that you kept voting until McCain won? Why do I get the feeling that if McCain won the TL vote, there would NOT have been a "re-vote? Maybe if Obama wins the election, the Republicans will "champion democracy" and let us have a re-vote!

Richard Connor: "DEMOCRACY STINKS", and you should give me an award for not vetoing democracy.

Let alone $150,000.00 clothes? Is she NUTS? Would you vote for someone who says her clothes "aren't my property"? Would you vote for someone who doesn't wear her own clothes? Would you rent clothes? Would you rent $150,000.00 clothes? WHO WEARS CLOTHES THAT AREN'T THEIR PROPERTY, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE! LET'S STOP PRETENDING THIS IS NORMAL!!! She should be talking about health care, the Iraq War, and the financial crisis! Not renting $150,000.00 clothes! This video below might be the most embarrassing thing I've ever seen in my life. McCain is obviously not in control of his candidacy, because there is no way HE picked Sarah Palin as his VP candidate. Watch the video below and cringe in embarrassment.

...meanwhile, while Palin is renting $150,000.00 clothes and McCain is clanking around in the background like the tin man, Obama speaks to crowd of 150,000 in Denver:

Or shop at any store ritzier than Wal-Mart. Or worship at a mosque. Or hold a college degree (Bible colleges excepted). Or -- most important of all -- espouse any ideology that is not hard-core social conservatism.

The Republican talking points have gone from Obama is a Muslim to Obama is a terrorist to Obama is an elitist to Rev. Wright to Bill Ayers to Joe the Plumber. They're flailing away, throwing as much shit against the wall to see what, if anything, sticks. The McCain campaign is now "smearing" Obama, calling him a "socialist". But why is calling someone a "socialist", a smear? McCain and the Republicans are saying they are against "spreading the wealth", as if spreading wealth is a bad thing! There you have it! The Republicans finally tell us all the truth: they want the wealth concentrated with a few super-rich people!

"Part of the story is the fact that it was reported by the media," said Sanchez. "We would not be telling the story now had it not been carried by so many outlets. As I mentioned before, it was mentioned on, as a matter of fact I have a list and not to mention names, but the initials of the news organizations are Fox News, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Newsday. And also radio talk show hosts went on their radio stations and talked ad infinitum about the story yesterday, one of them even seemingly being a braggadocio about it when he was on the air with our own Wolf Blitzer yesterday."

Spreading the Wealth

Special commentary by Big Dan: "The Republicans and the complicit media went from Rev. Wright to Bill Ayers to Joe the Plumber and now to 'Obama is a SOCIALIST'. McCain goes all over TV saying 'Obama wants to spread the wealth'. Have we all gone insane??? Since when is 'spreading the wealth' a bad idea??? What the HELL is going on with us??? What McCain is really saying, is 'All the wealth should NOT be spread around, it should stay concentrated with the richest 5% of Americans'. THAT is exactly what's wrong! We NEED to 'spread the wealth'!!! This is further proof that the Republican Party is a fringe party and must cheat to win elections. They are out of touch with 95% of Americans."

MARK CRISPIN MILLER: Well, I know (the 2004 election was stolen) because there’s been an audit of the vote in eighteen counties of Ohio by a researcher named Richard Hayes Phillips, who had his team literally scrutinize every single ballot that was warehoused in eighteen Ohio counties. They took over 30,000 digital photographs. This is not speculation, Amy. This is a meticulous, careful, specific and conclusive demonstration that John Kerry actually won some 200,000 votes in those eighteen counties only that were taken away from him. Bush’s official victory margin, you may recall, was about 118,000. So there is no question about it. Ohio was stolen.

Mark Crispin Miller on Democracy NOW!

This is a "must see"; the stolen election has already started! Click on "DN! Video" below to see the Real Player video.

AMY GOODMAN: Just days after reports that six early voters in at least two West Virginia counties claimed their votes were switched from Democrat to Republican, a couple in Nashville, Tennessee reported similar problems with paperless voting machines. In West Virginia, one voter said, "I hit Obama, and it switched to McCain. I am really concerned about that. If McCain wins, there was something wrong with the machines.”

In Tennessee, a filmmaker couple also had difficulties casting their vote for the Democratic candidate, the Brad Blog reports. They had to hit the Obama button several times before it actually registered, and in one case it momentarily flipped from Obama to Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney. Patricia Earnhardt said, “The McKinney button was located five rows below the Obama button.” The couple in Nashville were using machines made by the same company as those in the counties in West Virginia—by Election Systems and Software.

Meanwhile, there are reports of long lines at early voting sites in several other states, including some counties in Texas, Florida, Nevada and New Mexico.

GOP Charges of ACORN 'Voter Fraud' in NM Fall Apart. Perhaps the ACORN 'Voter Fraud' is Hiding with the WMD?...

GOP Busted for Voter Suppression

Ex DOJ Voting Rights Chief: "It's Going to Take a Long Time to Cleanse" Department

A former top Department of Justice voting rights official -- who once worked with John McCain in defense of the senator's campaign-finance reform bill -- has added his name to the growing chorus that is denouncing the department's investigation of ACORN as a shameful and inappropriate politicization of Justice along the lines of the US attorney firings.

The GOP Escalates Its Nutty Attacks on ACORN. Republican smears have reached fever pitch.

Attention Voters: Here's What You Have to Do to Make Sure You Get to Vote. Voters should verify their voter registrations are current and then vote early to avoid Election Day delays at polling places.

McSenile AGREES with nasty things Obama supporters are saying about the people in Western Pennsylvania?????

“You know, I think you may have noticed that Senator Obama’s supporters have been saying some pretty nasty things about western Pennsylvania lately,” McCain said. “And you know, I couldn’t agree with them more. I couldn’t disagree with you. (bd: what is he talking about???) I couldn’t agree with you more than the fact that western Pennsylvania is the most patriotic, most God-loving, most patriotic part of America, and this is a great part of the country.” (bd: I live in NEPA, northeastern Pa., and McCain just said we're not as patriotic and God-loving as Western Pennsylvania!!! GODDAMMIT!!! Well, then...FUCK YOU! MCCAIN!!!)
