To guarantee success is pretty strong even for a party that has become the king of election rigging and fraud. This is future stuff and no one can predict the future. For the repub to do so would mean there is something or some loophole that is not being covered to prevent fraud or rigging and I would only guess that that would be the diebold and ess electronic machines with the ‘proprietary’ software that will do for mcpalin what it did for the repubs in past elections. What would expose this would be if and exit polls show that obama has 10% or more lead in people saying they voted for him but mcpalin wins, it would be up to obama to challenge this. Contrary to what the msm says(they really cannot be trusted)and the current polls that obama is maybe in double digits ahead of mcpalin, I can only wait and hope that that is true.
Report thisAnd as for proprietary software in any machine dealing with any government function, it should be publicly available for scrutiny and should be considered a federal crime and punished as such for any improprietary parts of the script. If is not, then the people are being screwed. The people have every and all rights to know what the software in any comupter or machine is capable of doing and if this is not so, go to the best method, mark your ballot with a pencil, drop is in a box and manually count all votes. As a matter of fact the manual mark your ballot and put it in a box should be an optional method to casting one’s vote. All this electronic bullshit is to have a spectator type event ongoing throughout the election day. I say it is more important to have everyone’s vote counted accurately even if it takes a couple of weeks to do so.
If you are interested, there is a dvd ‘Orwell Rolls in His Grave’ that explains a good bit about the 2000 election and what was going on with voting machines which is what was also happening in Ohio in the 2004 election. You can get it from a web site with the same name. A very informative video based on the corruption of the mainstream media.

Samosamo: McCain just said on Meet the Press that he guarantees success. Is that because the Repugnicans have got their system down with regards to how the votes get counted? Why is there such impotence with regards to fairly counting votes?
I fully expect that the rage towards us in the Middle East will only get worse if McCain wins. We need a complete break from what got us to this point.
Report thisWhere is our own righteous indignation with regards to how badly Bush handled matters?

***I didn’t vote for Bush. But too many did.***
I didn’t vote for him either and he did NOT WIN the 2000 election, he was appointed by the supreme court that stopped the vote recount when it was beginning to show gore was about to pass little w.
Report thisOhio was rigged just as you may have already see some people that are voting early are having problems with electronic voting machines registering a vote for mccain when the person voted for obama. The rigged machines and the disruption of the voters trying to vote but were not able to because of faulty machines, poll moved somewhere else, all this was set up by the 2004 sec. of state for ohio who is a hard core republican to steal or prevent enough votes for kerry to give the election to w. The name of the book is ‘What Happened in Ohio?’ and can be bought online from the FreePress web site or amazon may have it.
It very discouraging as it evidences voter fraud by the ohio officals and NOT one of them were convicted of such.

Bush didn’t read executive summaries prepared for him…
Report thisand Palin reads “everything” but can’t name it…
More disaster ahead with Republican in charge—-how else can you interpret this?
We are/were criminal in our actions in Iraq. I didn’t know how bad it was. I am deeply saddened. I didn’t vote for Bush. But too many did. I sure hope we can show the world that we are having a change of heart.

Please research Philip Carroll, former CEO for Shell Oil and Fluor Corporation. Very close friends with the Bush Family and Bush Jr. He was and probably still is a major player in Iraq to ensure that the oil contracts were and are distributed to the benefit of corporations and governments outside of Iraq. This information is easily found.
Fluor pays its lobbyist well to keep their name out of the media. Are you disgusted with Bechtel and Halliburton? Well, Fluor Corporation is right there among the top three profiting by the war and other no bid contracts.
Also, SAP and at least 20 other data systems exist that are built on multi-languages (codes) so deeply buried that very few can find (connect the dots) the level of theft and atrocities that have been and are being committed against the world at large (including individuals) for the benefit of the very few.
These systems have data entry drones that have not a single clue (by design) what is occurring with the data they are inputting. Corporations, government agencies (including the Pentagon, the White House and International governments and agencies), military organizations, etc., have had their legacy systems replaced by SAP and contracts that require that SAP have direct access to the main servers through back doors. A system tightly guarded by SAP in Germany. A system that has code (languages)built multi-tiered in such a way that keeps transparency impossible because the deeper you go the fewer who know the code (language). The irony is that it markets itself on transparency. This is a movement that has been put in place a computer system that is very close to being outside of anyone’s control. These systems, including SAP, will need to be understood in order to alter if they are to remain in place to benefit the world at large, rather than the greedy and ignorant few.
Consider reading Asminov’s The Foundation series. Start with the last book written that he was commissioned to write and that he wrote to be the preface of this series. His last book was written to be his first. It was written at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union.
I also suggest that you read Seymour M. Hersh’s book Chain of Command, the Road from 9/11 to Abu Ghraib. This book reflects a major role that SAP plays in the Pentagon and Abu Graib. (My worst nightmare realized that I predicted while on a major implementation for a multi-national (trans-national corporation). A corporation that knew it would not be able to do business within a year of the first go-live date if the completion date was not met. The war in Iraq was known by various senior managers of corporations that would benefit from it.
Those of you who know the reality and question what you know about SAP (and other systems) due to the implementations you were involved in, please write your legacy so that some time in the future it can be referred to to help turn it around for the good. Any data system is not bad in itself, but its use for good or bad is governed by those who control it. Much that has taken place within our society has taken place in such a manner to keep people from seeing the whole picture. Unless one is interested and takes the time to observe and research activities at many levels, historic and current, and has been in the right place at the right time and wants to see and understand; including access to corporate and/or government and military operations, it will be impossible to understand what seems to be out of control is actually controlled. It will be impossible to grasp an understanding of what you intuit to be real is actually real or at the very least very damn near to being real unless you take the time to do your research.

“Here we’re talking about plastic knives and using an American Airlines flight filed with our citizens, and the missile to damage this building and similar (inaudible) that damaged the World Trade Center. The only way to deal with this problem is by taking the battle to the terrorists, wherever they are, and dealing with them.” -Donald Rumsfeld, October 12, 2001 , http://www.defenselink.mil/transcripts/transcript.aspx ?transcriptid=3845
“Leuren Moret reported similar elevated radiation readings downwind from the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001. Two days after 9/11, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) confirmed that the crash site rubble was radioactive and that it was probably depleted uranium (DU) contaminating the Pentagon crash site rubble. The entry and exit holes through the Pentagon crash site were the signature of a kinetic energy penetrator, such as a Cruise missile, and the term “punch-out hole” was written by crash site investigators over the exit hole. This is a military term used for kinetic energy penetrators. Major Doug Rokke, former Director of the Gulf War I DU Cleanup Team, reported that an email from the Pentagon 30 minutes after impact confirmed a Cruise missile hit the Pentagon on 9/11.”

Can someone please explain something to me. Donald Rumsfeld went on TV on the 10/9/01 and admitted that $2.3 trillion was ‘missing from the Pentagon’. Now here we have someone saying that the accounting department of the Pentagon was targeted by the ‘plane’ the next day, on 9/11. Excuse me? What did they do? Holler ‘Hey Osama buddy. Could you please target the accounting department and wipe out those pesky auditors and burn up all those incriminating documents that show where that $2.3 trillion that’s missing went?” Why would bin Laden target the accounting department? You have to ask that age old question ‘Qui bono?’ - who benefits. It only benefits Donald Rumsfeld, the Pentagon, the neo cons and the Bush Administration. You would also have to be extremely gullible to believe that a huge jetliner could target an area so precisely. From all I’ve seen and read, it’s clear it was a cruise missile that hit the Pentagon. You might have noticed that the man talking about the attack on the Pentagon said, ‘I didn’t hear the plane come in.’ Of course he didn’t. I don’t know what it will take for people to come to their senses. A reasonably able detective could solve this one in minutes. You’re talking about a huge conspiracy here, not a terrorist attack. It had to involve highly placed people in the Pentagon, the CIA, the air force and the government, as well as the media and Wall Street, in particular, who got huge financial benefits from the attacks because billions of dollars of insider trading went on before and during the attacks. I find it hard to shed a single tear for Wall Street now because they’ve got what was coming to them. It’s disgusting that politicians and Pentagon officials as well as highly placed officers in the air force would kill 3,000 of their own citizens so they could have a ‘war on terror’ and keep the gravy train running to the Pentagon and the CIA but that’s what they did. No discussion of the Iraq war is possible without a complete re-thinking of the official story of the 9/11 attacks and the purpose 9/11 served in making the war in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan possible. Not to mention the attacks on civil liberties and the Constitution that followed the anthrax attack, also traceable back to the CIA and the Bush Administration (Dick Cheney and his Cipro habit being a dead giveaway). It’s not just a war crime, it’s treason.

First time I have seen this and I just cannot imagine how we the people have not become so outraged at these criminal’s actions. Bush, cheney, rumsfeld, rice, bremmer and at least several hundred if not thousand more need to be rounded up, put on trial and sent to prison at the least.
Report thisFirst point, I understand because of the media’s complicity in withholding information, distorting information and not reporting at all. How can a citizenry make decisions on that?
Second point, for those that knew and did nothing, we can almost assurredly look at having lost this country to a bunch of evil, lying, criminals that do not want the people around anymore. A direct correlation to an over populated planet of humans.
Third point, by NOT putting these people on trial will be the same as accepting their behavior and what they have done. Kind of like, well, money is involved so it is not serious enough to go after these criminals.

When a duplicitous and complicit coterie of 5 Supreme Court “Justices” conspired to put an ignorant, arrogant and pathologically cruel and hateful dimwit at the head of U.S. government, the world of sane people immediately realized that great disaster lay ahead.
After all- fools and idiots have caused most of the horrendous destructions in history. IGNORANCE IS THE ROOT OF ALL FOLLIES AND ATTENDANT MISERY.
This film only lays out the sheer horror that has been the terrorist outfit that took control of U.S. government by stealth and treachery one fateful day in December 2000.
I simply will never understand the fundamental immorality of a nation or its leadership that can glibly take the lives of hundreds of thousands of absolutely innocent human beings as retribution for a trumped-up attack by entirely unrelated people (with serious questions about the absolute incompetence or even willful negligence on the part of this very same illegitimate administration). Nothing aimed at Saudi Arabia or Pakistan- the two places clearly involved in Islamic extremism. If anything, these two places- client states for the U.S. terror network- became “frontline states in the fight against terrorism.”
The extreme state-sponsored terrorism engineered by the U.S. is staggering in its inhumanity, Goebbels-style propaganda, and mind-boggling arrogance.
But then bombing entire regions of the world, millions of people at a time- is a long-standing habit of the U.S. and its deeply racist, deeply bigoted, utterly self-obsessed culture.
The world can function as a collective civilized entity if and only if the U.S. military machine and the ultra-rich industrial oligarchy that has committed horrendous crimes for centuries crumbles to the dust on a day of liberty for humanity.
America’s centuries old attitude of entitlement, and insulation from any accountability for its crimes of aggression and genocide has gone on much too long- and now the world is virtually on the brink of economic, environmental and moral destruction in the hands of the consumerist, corporatist, me-me-me culture, led by inhuman and un-educated boors with cowboy swagger and stunted, hate-filled minds.
The ghastly butchery inflicted upon Iraq is entirely unforgiveable- and same is true for all other parts of the world that have suffered grievously under the criminal actions of this deadly cabal.
There is simply no punishment sufficient for the criminals involved in this terror campaign to atone for their grisly crimes. Sadly, large number of Americans have willingly participated in this horrendous war-crime, and in the process sown the seeds of their own destruction for years to come.
