Fox News POLL: Dems lead 49%-38% in LIKELY voters for Fall Elections

Their last poll had us up only 3%, it was 41%-38%. That means Dems went up literally 8 points and the Republicans didn't move. If Fox has us up 11 points, that has to be good news. Last time they had us up by 18, but that was registered voters. Likely voters are supposedly drastically different, but it doesn't look so. GOP gets owned by ten points this fall. Period.

4. Or are they?
I think that was the point of the segment.

I've never seen a poll saying the race is tied or even close to tied.

9. Read this, and you will never vote on an elelctronic voting machine again!
"Poll Shock," by Bob Koehler (11/24/05)
http://commonwonders.com/archives/col321.htm

It's about four recent election reform initiatives in Ohio, predicted to win by 60/40 votes, flipped over, on election day, into 60/40 LOSSES!--the biggest flipover we've seen yet; the election theft machines and their masters are now dictating election policy!

They have this capability--to simply flip the vote, everywhere. Who is to stop them? Many of our election officials are corrupt, or unqualified to hold their posts (are not computer experts).

One insider hacker, a couple of minutes, leaving no trace. That's all it takes to infect an entire system with malicious vote-stealing code that erases itself. Millions of votes can be changed--or just enough votes to keep the Bush Junta in power--whatever is necessary, without raising too many eyebrows, whatever they can get away with.

I think they are routinely putting a 5% to 10% "thumb on the scales" for Bushites, warmongers and corporatists. An 11% lead is not enough.

Why do you think they are daring to pass a bill endorsing torture? They don't give a crap. They don't need us any more. We, the people, don't matter. 63% of the American people oppose torture "under any circumstances" (May '04). That is a VERY BIG number. In a presidential election, it would be an overwhelming landslide. But it could be 100%, and it would make no difference. (92% of Americans want transparent elections!).

What can we do?

Bring this election theft industry to its knees, by massive Absentee Ballot voting this fall!

See my post on this: "What do you expect from the Diebold Congress?"
