The New York Times announced Monday that defense contractor United Technologies had made an unsolicited bid to take control of Diebold, the voting machine manufacturer. UTC first approached Diebold two years ago, but thankfully Diebold has and continues to reject its offers.
But the most interesting and frightening part of this story is in the connection between the attempted takeover of a voting machine manufacturer and the Republican candidate John McCain.
Uber-lobbyist Charlie Black is the chairman of BKSH a "bipartisan" Washington based firm that provides government relations services to a number of Domestic and International clients. While he is on the BKSH payroll, Black lobbies in his spare time as well; His clients include General Motors, JPMorgan, AT&T and none other than United Technologies! But what Charlie Black is most well-known for is that he is chief political adviser to John McCain.
I personally believe that there is something very wrong with the the country when the man who advises the Republican candidate for president also advises the company trying a to take control of voting machines manufacturer. (unsuccessfully it must be said. I am not in the position to speculate about Diebold's involvement in the affair and am merely making a comment on the rather frightening connection between UTC and McCain.)
What do you think??

This is sickening. It's already been proven how these voting machines are nothing more than boxes to be tampered with and rigged.

I think that a takeover of Diebold by United Technologies would be a great idea. It would greatly streamline the election rigging process. We have come a long way since the 2000 election debacle!
