I just returned from freezing my fingers off while holding an Impeach Bush and US Out of Iraq sign for 90 minutes during rush hour at a major five-way intersection - Ballard Peace Activists, et al. We do this every Wednesday.
We experienced support, but also saw incredible anger from the Hypnotized Right-Sided Bu$h Supporters. This anger is deeply rooted in their subconscious realization that they know they are so very wrong. They are not angry at us; they are angry at themselves - a classic example of transference.
Keep up the good fight here Brad. There are things on the horizon that will break soon and this will further topple the House Of Cards that is the current administration.

The most damning evidence of fraud, is the reaction of the republicans.
When faced with an open, public examination of the data upon which Bush was supposedly elected - The lockdowns, the ducking of depositions, the fight against a paper trail - every move they've made is consistent with the motions nessecary to perpetrate fraud.
We have means, motive, opportunity, and plenty of witnesses. If it were anybody but the president, he'd have already been arrested.

We are in Mexico in the city and state of Ajijic, Jalisco, we voted here and then our votes were hand carried to the border by the American Consulate and that was a plus for us. Then they were counted and once again a plus because our county does paper ballots. I feel so much for the ones that stuck their vote into a machine in Ohio. Bless the ones there fighting for your vote. Lets help them makes things right.
A velvet revolution worked in the budding democracy of Ukraine, and it's time that Americans similarly take their own democracy, back into their own hands.

Interesting how nobody is screaming "FRAUD" in Washington now that the Democrat is ahead, but everytime the votes are "counted" there are fewer votes for the Republican. Another conspiracy? Almost CERTAINLY. We need a Congressional investigation into who is stealing the Republican ballots.
Where is Clinton Curtis hiding anyway? How is his BOOK doing?

re: Clint Curtis. On 12/21/04 you wrote: "Therefore, it will be tomorrow before I issue what will be a rather direct response to several of Olbermann's inexcusable failings. Along with some additional never-before-seen evidence that I'm confident you will enjoy!"
So WHERE is it? All I read is some innuendo that you cannot print what is going on! Unbelievable!

Attorney Jim, some of Brad's rebuttal is at this entry~~~ https://bradblog.com/archives/00001071.htm , and as is stated among the comments there Keith Olbermann did revise his work with a new column yesterday http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240/ . Part of the difficulty is we are in the midst of investigative journalism as it is happening. And of course there isn't just one Rovian site to go to for the latest dictate. No one ever said freedom isn't exhausting.

"John G. Rowland was sworn into an historic third term as Governor of the State of Connecticut. He first took office in 1995 at age 37 and was re-elected in both 1998 and 2002. At the end of this term, he will be the longest serving Governor since Colonial times."
This GOP guy's grandfather fought for and uncovered corruption. Good for him.
Now Rowland is headed for jail, and other Bush campaign officials in that area of the country are already under indictment for election wrongs.
GOP Delay (appropriate name) has avoided it so far, but some of his cronies have not avoided election crime indictments in other areas of the country.
Even as we speak.

No body is alleging fraud because all the facts have come out. In court. At least hearings on the facts are granted.
If Ohio did the same the same results would happen there. But the courts and the election officials (foxes in the hen house) are refusing to hear the facts.
They are resorting to weak technicalities upon which to base the democracy of america.
In Washington, to the contrary, everything is out in the open air so the facts can be looked at.

Ya sure, you betcha. One man's "weak technicality" is another's "strictest interpretation of the law". Wake up. Washington will be fought and refought over military ballots, late ballots, etc etc etc. The Republicans are not going to take vote theft in Washington sitting down.

Fair enough. However professionals realize that one cannot discuss law in a FACTUAL vacuum. Unless and until hearings on the FACTS are held, the "law" is a ruse.
You are invited to add to the discussion at black box voting. All opinions are better than only one side of an issue.

In my comment about republican governor Rowland above, it has been reported that "Rowland pleaded guilty to conspiracy".
How strange, I thought "conspiracy theory" was just another word for "unpatriotic".
He should be ashamed of himself for pleading guilty to a crime that does not exist ... ?
I mean "conspiracy theory" is just a game ... it isn't attached to reality is it?

Heya Jim, a la attorney. The Washington State Supreme Court granted a one-week extension to the certification deadline so that the Republican party lawyers have time to research and investigate for rebuttal. Your bitterness is showing, Squire.
Washington State is doing it right. If Ohio and other states performed as well, there would be far less stonewalling and more credibility to our democracy. We lose democracy, we are headed toward fascism faster than fast food at Walmart.

If Curtis' were undeniably proven to have said *ANY* out-and-out lies, McNews' journalistic standards dictate that he would no longer be credible, and all media would burn him down. Instantly.
And, I wouldn't blame them. EXCEPT for the fact that:
They are NOT applying the same standards to Curtis' opponents!! *WHY NOT?????*
YEI has *ALREADY* been caught blatantly lying about (1) Hai Lin Nee's previous employment in their company, and(2) Curtis having been a "Disgruntled Employee".
HOW MANY *PROVEN* lies will it take before YEI/Feeney are treated with the same disdain that would be given Curtis if only ONE of his assertions were proven to be a lie?
Red flags should have gone off at every major American news media outlet that is quietly following this story when the YEI lies became obvious.
Instead, Curtis (who has withstood ALL tests for credibility thus far) is STILL the one being treated with mistrust.
...
*This* is what our once great American media has become: "McNews America".
Like a two-dollar crack whore, they have sold America's freedom, dignity, and greatness for a some partisan support and big-business backing.
Until the Curtis/Feeney story gets the coverage it rightfully should, I say we all BOYCOTT MCNEWS AMERICA and all the products that advertise with them!!!

Go to google news and search "clint curtiss".
NOTHING is being reported because nobody believes the guy. WONDER WHY?
There is ZERO out there on the news since about 12/15/04, and for good reason.

very *smooth*, "attorney Jim".
Yeah, I checked Google news for "George Bussh", and couldn't find anything either. What a surprise.
However, for people that know how to *SPELL* when they do an online search, and don't just start shooting off their mouths, Google works wonders.
Type in the *PROPER* spelling of CLINT CURTIS in a Google news search, and you WILL see a page of results.
Albeit, there are NOT ENOUGH results there from mainstream news sources. And that is part of the failure of what has become "McNews America".
Tell me... American Media is responsible for fairly and openly reporting about mainstream America... but who is responsible for reporting about the McMedia organizations? Surely they don't dare report too critically about themselves or their cohorts, lest they start inter-station fighting.
SO then, "Who watches the watchmen"?
Oh, maybe "attorney jim" does. Cha...
"attorney jim" seems to think that because mainstream media hasn't picked up the Curtis/Feeney story, Curtis' story doesn't have any merit.
Jimmy-boy worships America McMedia like Catholics worship the Pope: as infallible.
Jimmy-boy, you are in for a rude awakening.
P.S. A big hug to Feeney and the gang at the office from all of us, eh Jimmy?

For a guy that doesn't believe in the Curtis-Feeney story, you sure are spending a *LOT* of time monitoring and posting on this site.
Feeney's paying you to work Xmas eve, too, hm?!?
Or did your family bar you from attending Xmas dinner because they're sick of your ranting and childish behaviour too?

LOL You all are funny! Hey...attorney jim...long time no hear! HA! I love it when George Dumbo attacks trial attorneys like attorney jim, except of course when he needs them to save his behind in 2000. Yet attorney jim supports are fearless leader hiding in the White House? Why?
What George Dumbo and attorney jim don't want people to understand is that they're just against plaintiff's attorneys. You know the guys that sue rich Republican doctors, businesses, and insurance companies and give the Republican's hard stolen dollars to those poor saps who have been killed or injured by the wealthy power elite's negligence or fraud. Did I hear tort reform? LOL How about insurance reform, or medical reform, or business reform? Bet you won't read them on Bush's lips!
Ooops! Did I say fraud too? Like voting fraud? Hey all you Republicans, better go run to your hated trial attorneys. That's right...keep people stupid about the law and your own collection of attorneys just like you'd like to snow job American's about their elections. Let's forget the courts and get us a fair and honest nationwide election system.
I really don't see how a simple request to protect the most fundamental foundation of our freedoms is resisted so much by the very people who now claim to be representing us. Again, as I've said in another post somewhere in Brad Blog World, they do not! And have no plans to represent us. They need to be alerted that it's time to set things right or face the mass consequence! GRRRRRRR!

satwoods you caught me --- oops --- I guess I must be a typical lefty moron then. Yeah, right.
I didn't call you a troll because you happened to disagree; it was because you came along with nothing to add to the discussion other than to call everyone else losers. There are a lot of bright people contributing to this blog every day but you are obviously not one of them. If you disagree and you do so with respect then you will be treated with respect here. It happens quite often. Try it sometime and see what happens. But if you have nothing to add other than misspelling a simple word like second and calling everyone else losers then you won't get much respect from me.
As for the content: Nothing in your comment above is true. It does matter. My man didn't lose. I am not seeing red. Bush is not my president and he is definitely not the right man for any job. He couldn't even manage to run his own small businesses.

Like it or not Bush is your President. You are right I dont know who you voted for but if you did not vote for Kerry (thank you for your vote) if you voted for Nadar then you helped Bush become your President. You know the real thing is here is the Dems have lost it. They have lost touch with what most of the people in this country want. That is why I changed parties 3 elections ago. I just wish in the state I am in we could get them out of control here. They are taxing us to death here at the highest taxes in the country per cap! 30 years of Dem control just look at it here and this is how the whole country could be. 11% unemployment, jobs rolling out of the state not becouse of Bush but for the tax property taxes put on land companies dont want to being jobs here. Asw for Kerry he would have made it worse. Raise taxes is his motto. all you have to do is look at his record to see that.

satwood...and who is going to pay the debt you and your Republican friends are creating, the tooth fairy? Cutting social services, which were then passed on to the states as their tax burden, and a huge increase in military/intelligence defense spending for war profits, is the legacy of a federal government controlled by Republicans while the gap betwen rich and poor grows dramatically. At some point, the tax man will come with a robe and a sickle to collect for all the Republican spending and mismanagement. That's if the growing poor and hungry in America don't come calling first.
