Sorry, but Kevin James is the Republican party. There is no place in it for Richard Viguerie.

I can't get this video to run here or at HPM's place. Is it a problem on my end, or is there a problem with the embed?

Just checked it. Working fine here, Linda. Hope you didn't catch the conflict w/ Adobe's newish update (if so, email me, and I'll email you the older version that I had to install when I had same prob!) Should work in IE, however, even with that Adobe conflict as I recall.

Linda, Brad, I think it's YouTube with hiccups that's the problem. They're doing another Beta and all the players have been hinky across the net for a couple three hours or so....

Wow. It's working now. Unbelievable. James demonstrates so clearly how the backing in the US for Republican policies in the ME is based so completely on rhetoric, and on having no real knowledge of actual history, and on just shouting and shouting and shouting the same BS as loudly as you can, drowning out all voices of reason.
Hey! White working-class guys! Get with the program here! Stop believing this c**p that we can solve complex international problems using clubs and stones. Smarten up! Or you'll be culpable for taking us all back to those cro-magnon days when all we had the ability to use was clubs and stones.

I wouldn't blame the white working-class guys, personally, Linda. I'd blame the corporate media who spoonfeeds them this crap, and the politicians who allowed it to happen, and are too cowardly to do anything about it. (In no small part because if they did, they'd be pilloried --- completely unfairly --- by the same corporate media they've given away the store to!)

Well, Brad. My husband is a white working-class guy, and he's not eating this c**p.
Yes, I agree with you that the media is culpable. But it's not forcing anybody to watch what it's trying to pass off as "news."
Congress is another thing altogether. Thank God for Wexler. He succeeded at getting Conyers to do his job in this one issue involving Rove. Watch out neocon a*****es, when Wexler is our next Oversight chair!

Excuse me, but Conyers has not done his job yet. All that has "happened" is noise, and they've made similar noises before. I'm going to be happy about it when they actually perform on their threats. Dancing in the streets. Until then, this hot air just pisses me off.

kevin james looked like a idiot....much like the neo cons did "when they lined up to vote slowly" a few days ago
my morning paper talked about mccains speech in ohio to "several hundred voters"
the rep nominee can only draw hundreds of voters while obama is drawing 20 ,30 thousand and yet
if we dont get something changed,something like PAPER BALLOTS with the PRES being hand counted,
we all know we will end up with mccain
sigh
after pa's vote i printed a copy/paste thing PROVING allegheny county showed a false result
200 per cent turn out in the reform cat...even 99 dissed me at first and after brad corrected the hard to read post NOT ONE PERSON COMMENTED
r we as americans so used to be screwed and lied to that we just accept a mathmatically impossible result?
on inherent contempt.....i agree its long past time BUT i am encouraged to hear peops like catherine crier talking about it on msm (abrams again)
i doubt most folks realize congress has this power
Under the inherent contempt power, the individual is brought before the House or Senate by the Sergeant-at-Arms, tried at the bar of the body, and can be imprisoned. The purpose of the imprisonment or other sanction may be either punitive or coercive. Thus, the witness can be imprisoned for a specified period of time as punishment, or for an indefinite period (but not, at least in the case of the House, beyond the adjournment of a session of the Congress) until he agrees to comply. The inherent contempt power has been recognized by the Supreme Court as inextricably related to Congress’s constitutionally-based power to investigate.
to congress and conyors i say, do ur jobs, BETTER LATE THAN NEVR

99, once again, you are oh so right.
Brad et al, from now on I will refer to all those morons who watch Fox "News" and spew out the rhetoric with no factual basis as being Kevin James's.

Karen, we're all reading your posts, as well as Socrates. Just keep on posting any anomalies/strange goings on you find.
We might run into a connection somewhere along the line.

Linda, I sure wish I were not...
Karen, we're trying to figure out a way for people to post figures without it coming out so confusing to read. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I just kept staring at those numbers and they looked as though they were saying something completely else from what you were saying. It was dawning on me what the problem might be about the same time Brad was jumping in to help clarify. I don't know how that little project is coming along, but I know that when it's urgent, we all need to be extra-careful to be as clear as we can be. This is confusing enough already.
And, believe me, I agree with you completely.

Thanks for the plug Floridiot.
I done good with the Hertzberg thing. The Director of ESI truly was a prolific poster at a nutjob website. That place is run like a cult. They refer to Bev Harris and Sibel Edmonds as 9/11 CIA fakes. Brad's also in that grouping.
Karen, I remember your post. Yeah, keep at it. Tighten that story up and keep spreading the word.
Despite all the efforts to label election fraud as internet fiction, the opposite is happening.
The dark side is trying to break our collective spirits with divide and conquer 101. Just keep calling their bluff.

karen: I think everybody here has been at this so long, and seen enough impossible results be ignored or explained away with NO action being taken, that we don't get quite as excited by them as we used to. That doesn't mean we don't care. It's why we're here.
But you have just posted a bunch of figures that are meaningless to me because I can't read them in a format that gives them the proper sense. The software doesn't just post the exact image of what is entered.
It might be extremely helpful if you started a blog where you could format this stuff in a way that makes sense, take screen shots of it, upload it to your blog, and simply link us to your blog when you have this stuff to say. That would stand the BEST chance of making things clear to people.

If that says what I think it says, that's OUTRAGEOUS, but I can't tell what it says for sure. What's the "rep"? Reported? Republican? Represented?
Whenever returns are coming in and people are freaking, trying to report the stats, it's a total mess. People start pitching fits on the threads about all the incomprehensible numbers mumbo jumbo... and the whole POINT of all this is to be as clear and as factual about everything as we can....

Good for you Karen! i wish the grandmas in my family cared enough to monitor election results. i feel like America is in this absurd mess largely because our (my) parents and grandparents were content their whole lives to accept the crap the MSM dishes out. And so too, I think, would be we if not for this remarkable invention the Internet to help us know we are not alone in recognizing the glaring lies and deceptions that shape our modern world.
So a big thank you to Brad, Karen, all the rest of you election integrity volunteer leaders & troops, and of course DARPA.

Just wanted to chime in here! Gotta say: KAREN has been crunching the numbers from EVERY PRIMARY, and has FOUND REMARKABLE anomalies and blatant statistical IMPOSSIBILITIES--EVERYWHERE. She found problems in TRAVIS CO., TEXAS, and alerted our wonderful VOTE RESCUE RADIO in AUSTIN and sure 'nuff! She was DEAD ON ACCURATE. She has also been helping us navigate a SEA of FOIA's from NH--and kids, her math is a wonder!
99--you're right! We see this A LOT and it's hard to take in. It's often hard for ME to wrap my brain around her numbers (and not because of web-formatting, but because I am a below average mathematician). Still, I see her posts BOTH at BRADBLOG and BBV are often overlooked, or misunderstood...
What Karen finds SHOULD be kicked around more here in these threads; in many cases she is finding MORE VOTES THAN VOTERS--this is the THROUGH-LINE of STATISTICAL FRAUD we have seen from a number of states this PRIMARY SEASON. MORE VOTES THAN VOTERS, PEOPLE! OFF BY DROVES! ED FELTON has also found this via SEQUOIA's POLL TAPES. And yes, THIS FACT ALONE should be enough to explain to everyday VOTING JOE's just HOW BOTCHED our election systems are...
EVERYONE gets MORE VOTES THAN VOTERS/ and IRRECONCILABLE OVER-ALL FIGURES such as these.
I, too, would love to see this important info more thoroughly investigated by my wonderful BRADBLOGGERS/ BBV citizen investigators...
In fact, it is BRADBLOG's MATHEMATICIANS and COMPUTER EXPERTS (O! I love you people so!)that I look to/ count on/ rely on heavily in these comment threads to help me understand so much ELECTION HOOEY. I practically LIVE here...
(99~ thanks ever so for going out of your way to help clarify the way we post these figures.
I realize it's hard on the eye, but if everyone would just take a minute or two more to TRY to decipher Karen's posts--we'd have some FASCINATIN' discussions...!)

i guess this is what i am trying to point out,we have to keep showing them when their numbers r "impossible" wether we r discouraged or not
jeanie dean u make me blush...my work is nothing compared to the yrs of investigating u have done BUT i will continue doing what i can to give u heros mathmatical proof when i find it
i post the numbers here at bradblog so other peops will go and witness these things themselves
i think the more peops that know the better chance we have in it actually changing something
