History and its symbols having been central in conceptualizing the demonstration for jobs, peace and human needs that took place at the Lincoln Memorial on a crisp afternoon this past October 17, it is worth casting the mind back a bit before proceeding with our story of that event, recalling first the organizational finesse and political discipline of this latest demonstration’s most famous forebear (depicted on its fliers and literature), the 1963 March on (...)

by Tony Allen-Mills, Columbus, Ohio

2 commentsby Maureen Dowd
WASHINGTON Some people thought the October surprise would be the president producing Osama.
Instead, it was Osama producing yet another video taunting the president and lecturing America.
After bin Laden’s pre-election commentary from his anchor desk at a secure, undisclosed location, many TV chatterers and Republicans postulated that the evildoer’s campaign intrusion would help the president.
O.B.L., they said, might re-elect W.
They follow the Bush strategists’ (...) -

by Helen Thomas
The presidential election on Tuesday is one of the most crucial in American history.
There are many reasons — in foreign policy and on the domestic front — why President George W. Bush should not be reelected.
Among them is the dominance of the radical right in his advisory councils, who are taking the United States down the wrong road at the start of the 21st century.
The road could lead to more mindless wars abroad (...) -
If You Are a True Conservative You Must Reject Bush
1 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)
2 commentsBy William Hare
The word conservative is derived from conserve. To conserve is to behave prudently. In a political context the word conservative is linked to tradition, to move with caution, operating in lockstep with tried and true propositions and fundamental concepts whose validity have been proven over time.
This form of traditionalism has been jettisoned by the new wave of Bush so-called conservatives. Bush initially ran for the presidency touting himself as a “compassionate (...) -
Vote For A Man, Not A Puppet

Americans should realize that if they vote for President Bush’s re-election, they are really voting for the architects of war - Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and the rest of that cabal of neoconservative ideologues and their corporate backers.
I have sadly come to the conclusion that President Bush is merely a frontman, an empty suit, who is manipulated by the people in his administration. Bush has the most dangerously simplistic view of the world of any (...) -

Central Tabulating Machines Connected to Modems
1 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)
1 commentNew Info proves that Central Tabulating Computers have modems connected and are open to manipulation. ie- all this stuff about vote challengers is just a diversion, because one person can change the state total from their home computer. Take the day off of work to help save our country.
Yeah sure conspiracy nuts- they can’t steal it- wrong. We now have evidence that certainly looks like altering a computerized voting system during a real election, and it happened just six weeks ago. (...) -
My latest prediction: That Bush will "win" and then be impeached — if not run out of town on a rail
1 November 2004 par (Open-Publishing)
by Jane Stillwater
Someone just asked me what my latest prediction is. "As of today, who do you think will win on Tuesday?"
My prediction is this: George Bush will win. Why? No-brainer! Even as we speak, members of the George Bush fan club who are willing to do ANYTHING to see that their guy wins have been embedded in positions of influence in every electoral board, registrar of voters’ office and secretary of state staff in America. I predict that we will see innumerable election (...)
