Guest Blogged by John Gideon of VotersUnite.org

“If the success of an election is to be measured according to whether each voter’s voice is heard, then we would have to conclude that this past election was not entirely a success,” said Doug Chapin, director of Electionline.org, a nonpartisan election group that plans to release a report Wednesday with a state-by-state assessment of voting. “In places where the margin of victory was bigger than the margin of error, we looked away from the problems, but in 2008 we might not have that luxury.” The preceding from an article in the NY Times….

      Doug……once those crappy voting machines have been torched, smashed, drowned or just simply returned to their place of origin with a refund request and the ‘paper and pencil’ style of voting has been adopted, then you WILL have elections that ARE entirely successful where everybodys vote will be counted according to how it was cast.

      Then, and only then will you have true democracy back in your country.

      For Christ’s sake…..WAKE UP SHEEPLE..!! You only have two years before 2008.

      My family had Thanksgiving dinner two days late, (yesterday), and it was very disappointing for me. Getting people to admit we may be in trouble again in 2008 is like willing a bowling ball out of the gutter through mind control. My mom gets it because I talk to her a lot, but everybody else thinks I worry too much and should watch more basketball.

      Larry,

      It’s a good job you and all the other patriots here at Bradblog DO worry, and are trying to right all the wrongs that have been heaped upon the American people by your corrupt government.

      It’s a monumental task, I know, and I sense how weary you all must feel with continually having to do battle, but keep your eye on that bowling ball, the mind CAN be a powerful thing when harnessed correctly and miracles have been known to happen… 🙂

      Keep the faith brother…….
