Republicans, Justice Dept Gear Up To Steal Votes. PREORDAINED!

Holy sh*t! I ran into this while I was doing research on my mass MSM email project.

10-29 In the wake of an unprecedented voter-registration drive conducted by civil rights organizations, local Democratic Party activists and others—on a scale not seen since the 1960s—Republican Party officials, in league with John Ashcroft's Justice Department, are stepping up their counter-campaign to intimidate potential voters and to suppress the vote among minorities on Nov. 2.

In an election already tainted by the widespread use of fraud-prone computerized voting, Republican dirty tricks combined with Justice Department organized intimidation, indicate that the chaos on Nov. 2 could dwarf what occurred in Florida in the 2000 elections.
------------------------------
Provisional Voting

As we have previously reported, the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, under the direction of Attorney General John Ashcroft, has virtually ceased enforcing voting rights and protecting access to the ballot box; instead it has launched criminal investigations into voter registration in a number of states. It plans on deploying hundreds, if not thousands, of voting "monitors" and Federal prosecutors on Election Day.
---------------------------------
DOJ `Woefully Unprepared'

A reflection of how Ashcroft has abandoned any enforcement of voter rights, came when Reps. John Conyers (the senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee) and Henry Waxman (the senior Democrat on the House Government Reform Committee), released a report which they had requested from the Government Accountability Office (GAO), as to the ability of the Department of Justice to respond to complaints of voting irregularities.

<This section I found "surprising" to say the least:>
Kerry Won't Repeat Gore's Errors

Both parties are already preparing tens of thousands of lawyers to monitor the Nov. 2 elections, and to file lawsuits contesting the outcome. The Kerry campaign has reportedly mobilized at least 10,000 lawyers for Election Day, and is already filing pre-emptive actions in many states against Republican dirty tricks and vote-suppression operations, and also for the purpose of establishing a firm grounding for any needed post-election legal challenges.

If they knew it was coming, why weren't they prepared?>

Criminals who thought they wouldn't get caught......Wake up to the party now, you're getting CAUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Name calling is not allowed, it breaks the civility rule:

• CIVILITY
We promote a civil tone of discussion. Select language that is kind and respectful of others, even if you don't agree with their viewpoint or thoughts. Although our rules cannot specify every type of uncivil post, this does not imply that the administrators approve of disrespectful behavior. Please refrain from labeling members as “trolls” or deriding others for their party affiliation. Please contact a moderator if you feel that a member is being uncivil or breaking the forum rules, rather than responding in kind.

Any posts of that nature have been removed.

Please be civil.

Oddly I had to do it because the topic wasn't long enough. It is the shortest name for Republican that I could think of that would fit in the limit. If there is a way to change it or if it is breaking a rule please fill free to change it. I've lost my editing period.

Repub? Just a thought.

didn't even think of that one I am sorry though

I edited the title. Look, I have gotten mad and done it myself (used words like that instead of republican, but then I realized I was doing it out of anger (this was back on the Kerry/Edwards forum) and just said repub instead).

The fact is we all need to stick together and get some cohesiveness going here, no matter what we are we all agree that what is in the white house now is way too extreme (that is putting it mildly) and not in our best interest.

As the crap hits the blades as time goes on (and *shudder* if he stays in the white house), we are going to have to be organized. 2006 will be here before we know it.

We should be inclusive and not aleniate people. I am talking civility here, not selling out, compromising, etc. We can all believe as we do, we don't have to change what issues are most important to us individually, but we can still find common ground where we can and we can be civil to each other, and keep the major goals we all agree on first.

what an interesting notion. If it is proved that the justice department was used and abused for an election then that's pretty damaging. I wonder.....

Yes, Cyndi is right. I will try to be more tolerant myself.

Don't worry I would have done it too after the warning. I agree with decissions like this. I've always tried to make it clear that I know I'm a guest here and if I do anything please let me know. I rather learn from mistakes then keep making them. I've always respected the moderators decission and always will. I agree with it being done.
