Fool enough of the people and Steal the rest

Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican president (start with a bang, end with a Wimper [sic]), said you can't fool all the people all the time. The puppeteers of the current administration have overcome this limitation in the election system. They rely on 30% of the voting public being too dumb or distracted to ever change their "minds", then manipulate enough of the remaining votes to win the election. Ballot boxes are not stuffed, the tallies are simply changed. Electronic voting machines are not hacked, they are deliberately manipulated by companies such as Diebold who have committed to this kleptocracy.

It happened in Ohio and elsewhere in 2004 and it's going to happen many more places in 2006. The administration is extremely worried what Democratic control of the House would entail. It would mean not just an end of the lapdog rubber stamp, but a start of serious investigations into this lawless administration.

Personally, I don't think they should worry so much because the Dems have proven themselves incapable of turning even the most craven Republican criminal activity into political capital. Watergate doesn't count because the script written by Woodward and Bernstein of the Washington Post and the evidence provided by John Dean and the tape recordings would make rank amateurs look like Clarence Darrow.
