    • LET ME MAKE U AWARE, obama did not steal anything from hilary, it didn't go your way, hilary did not win the nomination, however, she is a democrat, and she would never dishonor her party. hilary will be right there in obamas corner and so will her husband, this makes me feel a lot better.

      I wish everyone would realize that. hilary by no means is out of sight or out of mind. obama relies on her and her opinion a lot. there will be disagreements in each party, however, i feel the dems are more united in achieving their primary objective; removing idiots from office and making sure we have a respected place again in the world.

      next. please, please, stop trying to compare hil to that moose murderer/skinner, bobble head palin.

      she is not fit to tie hil's tennis. get on board and support your party, hilary does

    • The video above "Hacking Democracy" should be seen by every registered voter. Assuming you're not one of the thousands being struck off the role.

      Don't trust voting machines.

    • Did I really just see that McCain is renting his Detroit campaign offices from the same company who has evicted more people from their homes in the state of Michigan than any other company? Did I really just see that!?

      "Our only political party has two right wings, one called Republican, the other Democratic. But Henry Adams figured all that out back in the 1890s. 'We have a single system,' he wrote, and 'in that system the only question is the price at which the proletariat is to be bought and sold, the bread and circuses.'" : Gore Vidal - The Decline and Fall of the American Empire

    • Praying that all of those that are disenfranchised with the system and think their vote doesn't count, says the course and continues to watch reruns of "Good Times" while eating a big bowl of Special K cereal.

    • There is supposed to be a law against requiring land ownership to vote. That is one of the things we fought for in the 1st american revolution.
      We need another one to ensure our right to vote. Our dollar is down, what more can happen?

    • thank you greg palast. i heard several years ago abot the voter fraud going on. especially what could happen on the computer based voting machines. the study was done by princeton. pretty crazy stuff how easy it could be. to be fair though popular vote doesnt matter in the first place the electoral college decides what is best. it is still very important to me that voter fraud doesnt happen.

      20 Amazing Facts About Voting In The United States
      http://www.guerrillafunk.com/thoughts/doc000023.html

      TOP 5

      1. 80% of all votes in America are counted by only two companies: Diebold and ES&S.

      2. There is no federal agency with regulatory authority or oversight of the US voting machine industry.

      3. The vice-president of Diebold and the president of ES&S are brothers.

      4. The chairman and CEO of Diebold is a major Bush campaign organizer and donor who wrote in 2003 that he was "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president next year."

      5. 35% of ES&S is owned by Republican Senator Chuck Hagel, who became Senator based on votes counted by ES&S machines.

    • It happened before, it will happen again.

      We have to pray that Obama's margin is large enough to keep this from affecting the outcome.

      Or maybe... we can actually get to the source of this problem one of these days... if enough people know what's going on...

    • All I know is if this happens in November everyone might just while out. I hope Washington is prepared if this is what they plan on doing this coming election. Obama is going to win and no one is going to see other wise. SO have fun Republicans lieing to this country. The people who pay for your underwear. i hope they know there are more people who live in this country then there are people who run it. There are alot more poor people in this country then there are rich people also. With every action there is a consequence. So keep up the evil skeems. People aren't going to take it again.

    • Just reaffirmation that it is a failed system.

      Go ahead and choose your shepherd sheeple.

      They'll still be the shepherd and not part of the flock.

      The consumers will now be consumed. Such irony!

      Bring on the Chaos!

      Ride on!

    • There is no greater testament to the concept of politics being local. We must elect state senators, governors, attourney generals, congressmen and US senators.

      We must regain control of the process so we can reform it.
