Were the New Hampshire results fraudulent? In shades of the underreported Ohio election scandal in 2004—which saw the imprisonment of two Cuyahoga County Elections officers—the ’08 New Hampshire Primaries saw large unexplained discrepancies between polls and the results.
Speculation is rampant that people from outside the State could have shown up and voted. I guess the sheer variety of explanations for why Hillary was able to engineer a spontaneous turnaround is a product of suspicion. (...)

Gimme Back My Bullets
10 January 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
By David Glenn Cox
So as we stand at the vestibule of hard times and remain unacknowledged by those who would just as soon wipe us from the bottom of their shoes. We must again remind ourselves and our leaders that we are more than just generalities and statistics. That we the people are not tenant farmers or renters here but the owners and regents of this land. Your wealth is at our discretion; our poverty is not at yours. That a fair chance for opportunity and prosperity isn’t a social (...) -

PARDON MY LAUGHTER AND CYNICISM: MISCELLANEOUS OBSERVATIONS ON THE PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES, AMERICA’S GREAT POLITICAL CIRCUS
“Americans are the only people I know who believe their own propaganda.” Deborah Eisenberg, American writer
I think relatively few observers appreciate the severe limits of America’s 18th-century Constitution, the document shaping offices which so many now scramble to fill. Change does not come easily, no matter how eloquent the speeches, how (...) -
WTF!!! HUCKABEE: Christian army of gods soldiers

By Perry Bacon Jr. Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, January 7, 2008; A07
WINDHAM, N.H., Jan. 6 — A pastor from Texas was scheduled to deliver the sermon Sunday at a church here called the Crossing.
But instead this small evangelical congregation heard from a different special guest: Baptist minister and 2008 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, who delivered a sermon of more than 20 minutes on how to be part of "God’s Army" in the middle school cafeteria where the congregation (...) -
No Change for me: I want Bills. US Election Circus Awash in Cliches
7 January 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
1 commentby Daniel Patrick Welch
In the runup to this year’s political circus, the buzzwords of hope and change are being bandied about like the cheap currency they are. Divested of any real meaning by their repetition and cynical misapplication, they quickly become the empty slogans that make "election" season all the more depressing. Newspeak, long the vernacular of a self-perpetuating media coroporatocracy, has rendered the worst year in Iraq into proof that "the surge is working." By (...) -
Hillary’s Campaign in a Tailspin
4 January 2008 par (Open-Publishing)
1 commentMark Penn - Hillary Clinton’s chief strategist - was going to be the next political guru, part Rove and part Carville until he ran straight into Reality. Last night Iowans voted 71% for opponents and 29% for the supposed unbeatable Hillary. What gives?
Penn has never understood Hillary’s campaign very well for the following reasons:
1. Deciding to imitate Karl Rove’s tactics after Hillary’s meltdown in Philly,
2. Focus Group polling that was woefully out of touch with prevailing (...) -

American 2008 presidential elections: Greens For Nader: "Draft Nader for President"
28 December 2007 par (Open-Publishing)
3 comments"We believe Ralph Nader is the best possible candidate to spearhead a Green and independent electoral insurgency in 2008 against the war in Iraq, global warming, and the corporate domination of health care, economics, environment, and every other public policy.
We believe a Nader for President campaign in 2008 would have an historic impact by defining the policy debate, not only for the 2008 campaign, but also for the next generation.
The Draft Nader Committee is organized to encourage (...) -
Neocon-Lite Sen. Mikulski Sets Dems’ Cynical Agenda
27 December 2007 par (Open-Publishing)
“Sen. Mikulski has violated her oath of office!” - Ms. Diane Wittner of the Chesapeake Citizens, a peace advocacy group. (1)
You could see it coming a block away! I’m talking about the Democrats’ cynical gambit for capturing the White House in 2008! It goes like this: Let the Iraq War drag on and on, with our brave troops dying daily in combat, and/or sustaining serious injuries; but, don’t do anything to stop the funding for the conflict. Then, blame the horrific results of the war on (...) -

Every four years the country is swept up in the pomp and pageantry of presidential elections. And every four years loyal Americans flock to the voting booths to select the candidate of their choice. Elections, we are told, are the true expression of democratic government. But they aren’t. They’re a sham and most people know it. The balloting creates the illusion of choice (...)
