Today we have a hodge-podge of news items. It seems that most of the news makers of the last few days are having a snooze and getting ready for the next flurry of excitement. Today we have a report from Texas were there is concern about a contract they have with Accenture (you may remember them as Arthur Anderson Consulting and their work with Enron) now that Colorado has just canceled a voter data base contract with them. In Ohio a judge has denied a request by attorneys for Gov. Taft and SoS Blackwell to dismiss a lawsuit against them by the state LWV….

Iraq war = Gas station heist by trust fund Thugs
League of Women Voters: NON-PARTISAN
Ohio Election Commission: BI-PARTISAN
Secretary of State Blackwell: PARTISAN
The judge, in a non-partisan act, has ruled that the suit by a non-partisan group, LWV, may proceed. This suit will challenge the actions of a bi-partisan group of Ohio election officials. But the person seeking to have the suit dismissed is a partisan (in the extreme), Kenneth Blackwell. This shows that in Ohio, what appears to be bi-partisanship is that in name only.
I am wondering if the voting spins and movements are like the FBI reopening the forged documents which the admin relied on in neoConning the public into Iraq (link here).
The remorse card is not based upon being sorry for lies, instead the neoCon remorse is about not lying good enough.
"We can do better than that" is the modus operandi for reopening a lot of these botched investigations, from Phase II in the Intelligence Committee to forged Niger Uranium purchases documents.
The public did not buy into the first investigative results, so they will write what they think will be better lies.
They still think the american public are a bunch of dorks who will believe any bullshit they print. They also think the Iraqi people believe them.
They are delusionaries who see themselves as visionaries as they puke on us thru the MSM.
