14. the general lesson (about Republican voting fraud) is, unfortunately, not a dead horse
Wed Jun 13, 2012, 04:58 AM
Jun 2012

That's why I posted it, and why it was re-posted on that Wisconsin website.
I wish that institutional voting fraud were not a dead issue, but unfortunately, it's very much alive. And, yes, we've got to be very, very vigilant about these issues in 2012, if we want our democracy to survive. See the current controversy in Florida, and all those Republican initiatives , in many states across the country, to take away voting rights from citizens. We cannot let these people succeed in perverting and (if the big money has its intended effects, and if the voter-suppression succeeds) destroying our democracy.

And, sorry, it was an issue in 2004. I do believe that both the 2000 and 2004 elections were stolen, and I think that RFK got it basically right in that 2006 article. . . (by the way, judging from her blunt remarks at a book-signing in 2006, THK thinks so, too, or at least she did in 2006). The point is: we can't let this happen in 2012. . or, for that matter, ever again.

It saddens me to see , even in this Kerry forum thread, that there are still people out there who cling to the ridiculous meme that Sen. Kerry "didn't fight hard enough". The regulars in this forum know how absurdly, even slanderously wrong, that is.

I am so tired of the lies (about Dems, about Obama, about Kerry) , and of people believing the lies.
