Poll question: Will you boycott the 06 elections?
From that Lou Dobbs poll, it said 30% or so won't vote to boycott electoral fraud. How many of that is us? It would be disgraceful for anybody to do that. If anything, we need to VOTE in protesting electoral fraud. Not the other way around.

9. That would be insane...
How would NOT voting be any kind of a protest at all when it's helping the very people you're protesting against?

Stupid.

12. That is the most insane thing I ever heard!
The more people that vote, the harder the theft will be to cover up. That is HANDING them a vote instead of making have to steal it, fercripessake!

I think it's highly irresponsible to run a poll and report something like that, too. I don't know why I'm so shocked, but I find this a very shocking story... and not a great one to wake up to.

This is madness!

13. That's the traditional way Repukes win elections
they get the Dem voters so demoralizes and cynical that we don't vote. It is always in their intrest to keep voter totals down.

15. Isn't Dobb's audience fairly conservative?
If so, this is good news! Let Dobbs keep complaining about the repubs to his repub audience, and they'll stay home! Dobbs is a conservative, but not a right-wing, *-type radical.

17. Of course not. But then, I live in a state with paper ballots,
hand counts, and as far as I know, only one Diebold machine, which is a free standing structure that gets upgrades only once a year, under supervision by state authorities, and is used for the express purpose of checking the handcount.

But I confess I'm not doing nearly as much as I did in 2004. The lazy, whiney, slacker misogynist fat racist pigs who sat it out last time in my state can pick up the slack this time around, now that they finally perceive their rights to have been infringed upon. I'm not killing myself for those worthless whores again.

18. We did really well in 05 (VA, NJ, CA) and we can do well in 06.
My guess is that the only ones calling for a boycott are freepers trying to bring us down.

22. This will possibly be my last time to vote..
If we (the Democrats) don't take back either the house or the senate, democracy is done.

My vote, as little as it mattered during the 2000, 2002, 2004 elections, will have no value if we don't win something in 06.
