    Monday 29th November 2004 Michael Meacher smells something fishy in Bush’s return to office. The evidence of fraud is not yet conclusive but, given the Republicans’ record, it is all too plausible
    The great mystery of the US presidential election was that the exit polls, which had been reliable guides in all previous elections, did not tally with the final results. Tony Blair, it is said, went to sleep on 2 November thinking John Kerry had won, but woke in the morning to find that George W (…)

    Go to JohnKerry.com and you will find absolutely nothing about the mounting evidence of vote fraud- why? There is no mention of the official voting receipts found in the garbage, or about the vote suppression in Ohio, or about the GAO starting an investigation into the 57,000 reported cased of voting ’irregularities’ nationwide. 13 Members of Congress have asked for an investigation into the voting problems, heaven forbid JohnKerry.com mention that. Why is it that VoteNader.com and (…)

    A long history of strong belief in our legal system, a lack of dissemination in the media we’ve relied upon for over two centuries, a large percentage of the people who’ve been snowed into believing what the current power structure is professing, and a very deep-seated desire to save our country through means that do not tear it apart. That’s why we’re not in the streets.
    We who understand what’s been done must reach the rest of our people. We must raise the issue and the evidence, (…)

    You should see my inbox. "You lying liberals are the scum of the earth. I hope you die."
    Last night I got another threatening phone call. The red state cult Christians do NOT like us blue states at all. And the feeling is mutual. "The Confederate states suck eggs. How can 59 million Americans be so dumb!"
    This bickering is not a luxury we can afford. Right now, we are like some self-important mice trying to beat each other up — while the cat just stands by and (…)
