Elections-Elected

  • Wisconsin Towns Vote for Withdrawal
    6 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by John Nichols
    In November 2004, the village of Luxemburg, Wisconsin, voted to re-elect George W. Bush by a hefty margin of 701 to 431. Always a GOP stronghold, the community voted for other Republicans as well, even the challenger to popular Democratic Senator Russ Feingold, who was winning by a landslide statewide.
    There’s not much question that the majority of the 2,000 residents of this rural northeastern Wisconsin village of well-maintained homes, neat storefronts and large (…)

  • The Israeli Elections A Decisive Vote for Apartheid By OMAR BARGHOUTI (Counterpunch)
    4 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    "Israel votes for disengagement and final borders" and "Israelis abandon the dream of Greater Israel" were the main themes in the spin that characterized mainstream, even some progressive, media coverage of the Israeli parliamentary elections which took place on March 28. In reality, the election results revealed that a consensus has emerged among Israeli Jews, not only against the basic requirements of justice and genuine peace, as that was always the case, but also in support of a more (…)

  • Uri Avnery: What the Hell has happened?
    3 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Uri Avnery
    THE MOST dramatic and the most boring election campaign in our history has mercifully come to an end. Israel looks in the mirror and asks itself: What the hell has happened?
    On the way to the ballot box, in the center of Tel-Aviv, I could not detect the slightest sign that this was election day. Generally, elections in Israel are a passionate affair. Posters everywhere, thousands of slogan-covered cars rushing around ferrying voters to the ballot stations, a lot of noise. (…)

  • BADGER THE WAR : STOP THE JOE-MENTUM !

    On Tuesday many voters in the Badger State of Wisconsin will have the opportunity to tell the warmongers to "take their bloodbath and shove it".... No US sponsored death squads.... Not in our name..... While a single referendum in one state may not not end the war , a strong anti-war vote may send the message to the AIPC/PNAC mind sluts on Capitol Hill that the gig is up on Operation Bloodbath - in at least so far as the American people are concerned..... It is no doubt (…)

  • EMANUEL STACKS DECK : ’06 ELECTONS BECOME FARCE
    23 March 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
    1 comment

    The head of the House Democratic Campaign Committee , Rep. Rahm Emanuel of Illinois ( well sort of ) has stacked the deck with savage pro- war neoconservative Democratic candidates. In so doing he renders the mid-term elections a total farce. The Democrats are hoping to ride a huge tidal wave of anti-Bush/anti War sentiment to regain control of the US House of Representatives.... "Change is in the air ? Right ? No ! ... Several savage pro-war neoconservative Republicans might (…)

    Fascism only occurs with the LACK of an organized opposition. When you know about PNAC, you know these bastards have been planning these wars et al for a long time. OF course they knew there would be widespread opposition, so they also planned (planted) the opposition.
    Consider DemocraticUnderground, after 5 years of BushCo Disaster Capitalism (create a disaster, then capitalize on it), and 80,000 DUers on the case, wouldn’t you think they’d have a virtual encyclopedia of Bush’s Crimes? (…)

    While life goes on during the Bush2 nightmare, so does the research on what really happened here in 2004 to give George W. Bush a second term.
    Pundits throughout the state and nation---many of them alleged Democrats---continue to tell those of us who question Bush’s second coming that we should "get over it," that the election is old news.
    But things get curiouser and curiouser.
    In our 2005 compendium HOW THE GOP STOLE OHIO’S 2004 ELECTION & IS RIGGING 2008 (www.freepress.org), we (…)
