Dontcha think? :shrug:

It's "TOO SOON" for many of us...who want to focus on cleaning up what went before...so some of us are just "by nature" antagonistic...given that we aren't even close to getting rid of "Election Fraud" from 2000 and 2004...so we feel we are being "Pushed" to forget and forgive.

1. It is hard to focus on 2008 because 2006 elections havent started yet.

3. I Know This Is A Tough Concept To Grasp
To control the elections, you have to control state election boards and be the ones in control of the vote. The way to do this is to win local and state races...like getting strong candidates for Secretary of State in Florida & Ohio and other states where voting is controlled by Repugnicans.

I live in an area that's had computer voting for nearly 25 years...but since the Democrats control the board of elections and how the vote is tabulated we don't have a problem (or at least nothing's been ever found).

Where is the Democratic Party's stand on supporting candidates for these crucial jobs? Many of these will be up next year and now's the time to be planning, organizing and getting out on the streets to take back both the party and the right to vote.

I could care less about 2008 as next year's election is crucial and if the Democrats suffer another setback, we could face super majorities in both Houses.

4. Not only that...
but they can only cheat if it's close. We need to aim to win by 10-15%.

Then and only then will it be really obvious where manipulation has occurred.
