What Repukes will say After they Steal 2006 Elections
This morning on BBC World Service, I heard the republican talking point that will counter how they stole the elections once they again do so in 2006. Here it is, straight from the mouth of Pennsylvania Republican Chairman, Robert N. Gleason:



Gleason says that despite the polls that show repukes lagging, when it comes time for the elections, these voters will "come home." Never mind their misgivings about the Iraq war and the deplorable deficit spending record, despite what they say to pollsters, when they get in that voting booth, they will vote Republican like they always have.

Remember that phrase: "coming home."

Characterizing it as a psychological motivation, Gleason says that if the Republicans can stay at 40% or more approval rating, they will continue to dominate the House and Senate.

Well, if you'd listened to the Pennsylvania Republicans selected for "man on the street" interviews by the BBC, you would not think that. A more venomous, angry group I've seldom heard. Several of them expressly said that Santorum was over the top and that they were voting explicitly to get rid of him.

pull it off. That's why we keep hearing the mantra that Dems still have no plans, even despite the many Dems who HAVE been vocal about alternative solutions and plans.

Doesn't matter how many speeches or plans are submitted by Dems - media has them on ignore because it doesn't fit the STORYLINE they've adopted.

2. Dont laugh:
At this very moment, KKKarl is putting the finishing touches on the software that will flip close elections in favor of the pub and assuring pub control of congress. There is no way in hell to stop this short of rioting in the streets.

8. Winning with 40%... Sure sounds like they're gearing up to steal
the election with a 5% flip which is my prediction for '06.

unauditable voting machines then huh?

It would have been a simple matter for the Sec of State to mandate scanned paper ballots with manual audits, wouldn't it? Instead they've got every kind of Diebold machines except the precinct count scanners -- and all kinds of other crap!

And how come NY and most of CT are keeping their lever machines this year? No vote flipping software in those states. WTF?
