      <title>How Many Votes Do You Think Bush Stole? POLL </title>
      <pubDate>Fri, 25 Mar 2005 18:30:53 -0500</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[I put 260,000 votes stolen as the minimum because of the study released by UC Berkeley and University of Pennsylvania detailing vote fraud. 

UC Berkeley's #1 ranked Sociological department released a study that said up to 260,000 votes were frauded in Florida ALONE. Since the Sociology dept is ranked at number one, and UC Berkeley has always released research that helps the public masses, and it is backed by solid statistical evidence, I would consider it a given that at least 260,000 votes were stolen in Florida alone. 

Please answer this poll only if you have been following the statistical evidence by organizations such as US Count Votes.org, blackboxvoting, etc... etc...

I would like to take a poll from those who are versed in the matter. 

What is your estimate of the amount of voting fraud that took place in November 2004?

      <pubDate>Thu, 24 Mar 2005 18:58:59 -0500</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[My question is based on the fact that IMO opinion a moderate person seems to not fit in anywhere in the current political climate.

If I say I believe in a God (Which I do) I am attacked as a moron by the left wing, but if I believe (Which I do) that the ten commandments should not on display at the courthouse I am attacked by the right wing. The same applies to most of the wedge issues like gay rights, abortion, etc. 

If we cannot work together the Neocons will bury us.]]></description>

      <pubDate>Thu, 24 Mar 2005 12:04:15 -0500</pubDate>
      <description><![CDATA[This thought is not original with me- several other threads have cited this AEI article and made some general observations. The time has come, however, to put together some specific ideas on how this information can be used to our benefit. The purpose of this thread, then, is to propose specific uses of this information to create wedge issues.

      <description><![CDATA[I think the time is now to do what we can to force Tom DeLay to resign. Even with his grandstanding and diversionary tactics in the Schiavo debacle, most Americans think it was a mistake to involve the Congress in this matter.

      <description><![CDATA[There remain 39 seats left on the buses to
Fayetteville. That's a lot of tickets. Thanks to your generosity, we don't
need to sell all those tickets to break even. Some of you have generously
donated scholarships, which have helped us raise funds and provide space to
those who can't afford it.

      <description><![CDATA[Not sure how to approach this, and I am worried the moderators will once again throw this into another category sure to attract the haters, but I'm wondering to what degree the folks in the glbt community see the parallels between antisemitism and homophobia? I don't mean the the fact that gay people are the Jews of the 21st century in this country as far as being targets is concerned, (which I consider a given) but more like the underlying reasons for the bigotry in the first place?
