The Worst Thing Ever

Okay, here is the worst thing ever that any political party has ever done, ever, to the American people: THEY TOOK AWAY OUR RIGHT TO VOTE.

Oh, sure, they let us go through the motions, under the misguided notion that we are actually voting. But guess what? This time, it didn't make any difference. The republican party had their machinery in place long before the 2004 election. They knew their plan would work and there was nothing we could do about it.

Throughout American history, the one thing we had going for us was our power of self-government through voting. Now matter how much you disagreed with government policy, you were reassured that your voice could be heard through your vote. Now, that's all gone. I cannot overemphasized the significance of this loss. Our right to vote was the most important legacy of our nation's founders; all our other rights were subject to it... until now. That is why I was literally sickened by the outcome of this election. Results from a fair vote, I can live with. Results based on dirty tricks played by the corrupt, lying, cheating republican party, I cannot.

I beleive this is an impotant step in the neocons' plan to eradicate democracy from the face of the earth and replace it with a plutocracy ripped from the dark ages. Unless they are stopped, it signals the end of democracy in the United States.

Nice to see some output there dude! Of course I agree with you ALMOST, 100%. I have to take exception your portrayal of the repukes as the only source of the problem. The demotes had a lot of dead people that managed to vote in the JFK /Nixon election and recently there have been allegations of diebold namby pamby on their part in the New Hampshire primary. (remember the distinct feeling that Dean was cut off at the knees by the powers that be?)Check out

You're absolutely right, the problem definitly doesn't stop with the democrats. I only justify my attack on them by saying that I am focusing on the current administration because it's the "problem at hand." But I agree with you that the problem you point out with Dean getting screwed is severe, also... the results ended up screwing us all :(
