1. Please send to ALL your local papers. This is a big step in printmedia.

Very few stories get graphic attention, so some graphic editor at the WaPo is NOT on BushInc's payroll.

2. Kick - this is a very user-friendly visual! Excellent. n/t

3. A little late to the party.

how about the ONE Diebold machine that gave bush 16,000 votes in Florida in 2000?

Come on Washington Post the info is out there ........ how about reporting the fact bush
stole both elections?

5. A little late, yeah

But it can never be TOO late. It's a step in the right direction, let's hope it takes us where we need to go.

7. But if the Post did that, "That would be telling;)" n/t

10. first it needs to be established as a fact

WaPo has a hard enough time printing some facts that no one disputes, never mind things that many, many people dispute (including AFAICT a prohibitive majority of political scientists). And there are a lot of undisputed facts that need more attention.

4. I'm sending that to everyone I know.

6. Highly recommended. Perfect graphic.

We can trust Vegas but not our own government, proving there is no honor among thieves;)

Rokken!

16. Good idea, but

to late to edit, made the thread in a hurry before I went to work nice to see so many recommends. Thanks for posting the pic.

9. bill maher made this connection a while ago

and it is so right on. What are the odds of a malfunction on a slot machine in Vegas? One in a billion? One in ten billion? Meanwhile, voting machines all over are switching votes, deleting votes, shutting down, malfunctioning, running out of power, and who knows what else. What the hell is going on here?

Simple solution - have the federal government, or state government if you prefer, hire a slot machine manufacturer to create electronic voting machines. I guarantee you none of these problems will appear in the multitude that we see today.

Hell, Diebold also manufactures ATMs. Do you really think their ATMs malfunction as often their voting machines?

Of course, true patriots and even atheists also love him for continually working on behalf of secure voting systems in the US. :patriot:

17. Do You Think We Can Buy Reprints of That in Poster Size?

If we place a big enough order?

[fearnobush]

18. Wow, truly shocked the M$M was actually allowed to print this.

Some one's gonna have to pay at Wapo for allowing such truth out.

On edit, if we were greeted like this at the voting booth, everyone would come out and vote.

19. OMG! What's up with WP?

They're actually mentioning the voting machines, from a negative perspective.

I just fell off my chair :wow:

[Patsy Stone]

20. Kick, Kick, Kick!

Thanks for posting this -- to both you and DeepModem Mom.

Sure it's about a year and a half late, but at this point, I'll take it.

21. A great graphic to stick in those

pre-paid credit card envelopes!
