Elections - September 2006

The story that came out a few weeks ago about Princeton researchers hacking Diebold's voting machine (even using a common key to someone's freezer or whatever it was to get in) and changing the results is frightening. When you look at instances from which exit polls didn't even come close to matching actual results, it's all been since Y2K when the irregularities began. In 2004, there were more irregularities in Ohio than any other state.

Here's an article for those who know nothing about this:

The thing is: I'm a Libertarian-wing Republican and I've supported the Republicans simply because they're "not as bad" as the socialists who fight against the 2nd amendment and favor entitlement programs. Bush hasn't exactly pleased me.

Now a handful of electronic voting machine manufacturers (or anyone with access to them) can control the results of an election. What can be done to do to save this country?

I think the recent drop in gas prices are tied into the upcoming elections. I noticed the same thing happening during the last one. There were alligations of the current officials in power not keeping a lid on fuel prices, while oil brought in record profits. As the elections got closer, so did the prices fall. Any comments?

Will Bush step down peacefully, or will he go kicking and screaming, while the new president takes his/her postion in the US?

What would make sense is setting new standards for the requirements of a President. Like a President must have a certain IQ, and not have interests in things like oil. Maybe some Presidential screening tests that would help the public better gauge a candidate's abilities and knowledge in a variety of areas instead of picking presidents based on public speaking, and acting ability alone!

I think they are both horrible and was thinking about voting for the guy who's on the Green Party ticket. He couldn't possibly do a worse job could he? After all he isn't a lifetime politican, so his penchant for corruption is reduced..

Today it is reported that Randal D. "Randy" Ankeney, who was a rising GOP star in Colorado, (and named his dogs Reagan and Nixon) is being held on a $1 million bond in Larimer County.

Ankeney, 35, who was arrested Wednesday, is facing five counts of sexual assault on a child, three counts of sexual enticement of a child and one count of sexual exploitation of a child. The felonies, if he is convicted, could send him to prison for life.

"The charges come less than 15 months after the former attorney, head of Gov. Bill Owens economic development office in Colorado Springs and graduate of the Republican Leadership Program, was released from prison after serving a two-year sentence for attempted sexual assault on a child." coloradoconfidential.com

The Democratic Leadership was not informed of (R-Fl) Mark Foley's sex e-mails to a teen either although Republican leadership knew for a year, they learned. Should Republicans disclose its pedophiles across party lines sooner?

Osama knows that when they put out a statement support for repubs goes up and he always starts putting out more statements near an election so doesn't that mean he wants Repubs in office?
