This waiting around is killing me!!!
Does anyone have an educated guess when the shit will hit the fan and this election fraud is something everyone will know about?!

I want this on the news 24 hours, 7 days a week. Like they did with the Swift Boat Liars.

1. My guess
When Satan is on ice skates.

As every day goes by I become more convinced that GWB got away with yet another treasonous crime.

2. Don't hold your breath waiting
I really hope and pray karma gets Bush in the next four years, but I don't think it will be election fraud. The MSM doesn't give a rat's ass.

3. Sadly, I must concur. n/t
Americans stick their heads in the sand whenever possible to avoid hearing things that are unpleasant. Not to mention that this particular scandal involves math.

Unpleasant news + math = nobody gives a shit

I have got to get out of this country.

10. I agree with that!
I try to talk to people about it... Even Democrats and liberals... I send them links, I update them everyday, but because the MSM isn't covering it they think nothing is really happening.

Its all "conspiracy theories" or its been "debunked". I think we were really damaged by the stuff that hit the media last week regarding the Dixiecrat counties and the Cuyahoga numbers. I wish someone would concentrate on the FACTS when they cover it rather than the speculations. I feel like every damn article/editorial I see about this was written with straight up DU info.

13. LOL
Unpleasant news + math = nobody gives a shit

Sad but true. Do you mind if I use that line? ;) I am discouraged/disgusted with my friends and family members who fit your description, or else just don't like "conflict" (when they themselves arent causing it)

5. The BBV people are too Naderic
Black Box Voting needs a press conference with some celebrities or prominent politicians, and must state definitively, "We believe the election was won by Kerry." Then cite facts that are microcasms of a much larger issue. For instance, the whole thing with the tapes in Florida is factual; someone posted a thread on DU listed precincts in Ohio that recorded no votes--that another fact. If they claimed these stories represent random examples, then they could go into greater detail.

The BBV people are failing in the same way Nader fails. They are not making this issue into a story. They are too caught up in the nuance. They are being very honest, but if they understood what the right knows so well--that winning is everything, they could have a major impact in this election.

6. I heard an Interview w Bev
and she was talking about the garbage find in FLA. She also stated that their goal is to find any voting irregularites so that we can hopefully fix them and not to reverse the results of the election.
HUH????

I hope she was just being evasive and realizes how important this is to this country. We have a moment here to try to stop something before it goes too far.

7. I'm not optimistic
This was always the problem with the good government (Nader) types. They find good issues, but they fight for their issues in very passive ways. It would be great if it worked, but it doesn't work except in small ways.

15. Maybe what she means by that is...
that her efforts alone are not meant to directly overturn the results of the election, but rather to make them officially invalid, and then it will be dealt with from there (like with a revote perhaps?).

12. Bev is speaking to the media frequently as she investigates. Mainstream
media, even much of the progressive media, has willfully ignored this story, and they will continue to do so until they are shown hard evidence of fraud. That's what Bev and others are looking for. We can help by pressuring the media and politicians to stop ignoring this (and by donating).

8. I've got good news, and bad news
The bad news first: It ain't gonna happen, probably, as you would like to see it.

The good news: YOU can be instrumental in this fight. In fact, each and every one of us is desperately needed to educate friends/family/media, help contribute to the recount fund, and so forth. PLEASE USE YOUR ENERGY to push this forward. Instead of waiting for things to happen, please help MAKE them happen.

11. I feel your pain, but...
Just look at this BBV and Volusia thing. Been there, done that in 2000! (Yes, same darn county - same darn problems. Almost the exact same precinct! What good did it do then? AND we had memos to Diebold, dumb quotes and suspect behavior.)

Anyway, as Bev Harris says, they're not trying to overturn an election here. They're trying to root out fraud. Get the system fixed. They plan to do that by holding the system accountable.

There is no rush here, so don't hold your breath. (Gotta get it right! Yep!)

Oh, but there will be a cool movie, "Votergate", at some point. Wonder if many here will care by the time that's all done.
