Armey's Outburst: Sounds Like Hot Air to Me

Political Cortex

by Frederick Clarkson

November 3, 2006

The Washington Post has a story headlined "The Religious Right: An Alliance Torn Assunder." We may see some interesting reallignments and perhaps some shaking out in the GOP coalition in the post-election period.

Former GOP House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-TX), is trying to pin the pending GOP election losses on the theocratic views of the far religious right. But frankly, while Armey's outburst is initially intriguing, it sounds mostly like a lot of hot air, and business pretty much as usual to me.

"With the exception of the motherboard, the other issues listed above are documented... The truly frightening thing is that Diebold may not even be the worst of the electronic voting machines in use."

Many of the hard drives and apparently all of the motherboards of the voting machines are Made in China. China is known to be attacking Department of Defense, Commerce Department, and other government computers...

The U.S.'s new voting systems are only as good as the people who program and use them. Which is why next week could be interesting.

In one week, more than 80 million Americans will go to the polls, and a record number of them--90%--will either cast their vote on a computer or have it tabulated that way. When that many people collide with that many high-tech devices, there are going to be problems.

"Hi there, we're from the government and we are here to help." Sure they are, like the snake they are maneuvering themselves into position to inflict that last fatal strike.

For twenty-eight years, as the sheriff of Sioux County, Iowa, I held the absolute and unconstitutional power to deny my constituents the right to self- protection. Their right to protect themselves from criminal predators...

The Republicans have held a majority in Congress since January 5, 1995. What does that mean? It means that on a straight party vote, the Republican majority could pass legislation and there's nothing the Democrats could do about it.

In my last column on the Democratic Party's betrayal of the working class, I listed many top issues: the privately owned "Federal" Reserve, taxation, social security, immigration, the withholding scam and more. The same betrayal applies to the Republican controlled Congress. They have lied to the American people on every single one of those issues.

On September 19, 2005 the Commission on Federal Election Reform co-chaired by former President Jimmy Carter and former Bush-41 Secretary of State James A. Baker III laid out an 87-point program to eliminate vote fraud in the United States.

The program began with a simplistic, common sense approach-making sure the voter is who he or she says they are. Carter and Baker urged Congress to enact legislation that would require all voters to present a State-issued photo ID in order to vote in any federal election.

Proposition 86: Tax on Cigarettes

Smart Voter

by California State Government

October 3, 2006

Should the state impose an additional tax of $2.60 per cigarette pack to fund new and expanded health services, health insurance for children, and expand tobacco use prevention programs?

Proposition 86 is really about hospitals using our Constitution and laws to pocket millions for themselves and HMOs through a $2.1 billion tax hike. Section 9 even gives hospitals an exemption to antitrust laws! It's another lottery mess-and no guarantees on how the money will be spent. No on 86.
