President Bush’s exit from the political scene is replete with irony. In 2000, many thought he won an election by disenfranchising thousands of African-American voters in Florida through the intervention of the partisan U.S. Supreme Court. Now, the outgoing president is handing over power to the nation’s first African-American president (”The Obamas check out future home,” News, Last Tuesday).

   (Greeting the future: President Bush hosts last Monday’s visit to the White House by President-elect Barack Obama)

The 2000 Florida race had a distinct Third World aura about it, featuring nepotism, biased officials, questionable counting of ballots and transparent voter intimidation. Allegations abounded of police barricades near polling places to intimidate voters, refusal to accept voter registrations from blacks and a disproportionate number of faulty voting machines in predominantly black areas. Also, a highly confusing ballot was used in a predominantly Democratic county.

The race also saw an unprecedented mobilization among African-American voters who supported then-vice president Al Gore over Bush by more than 90% to 9%.

With the election of Barack Obama, history has given its final verdict on Bush, who will remain a permanent scar on American democracy.

NOTE 1: GOP back to square one with Hispanics — John McCain won just 31 percent of the Hispanic vote. In 2004, Bush won 54 percent of Latino Protestants. This year, Obama won 67 percent. While the economic crisis eclipsed cultural values among all voters, the shift in the Hispanic vote was especially pronounced. McCain’s reputation among Hispanics was damaged when he backed away from his failed 2007 immigration reform bill in this year’s Republican primary, as anger among the party faithful about illegal immigration led to a competition among the candidates to offer the most aggressively enforcement-oriented immigration plans. McCain said he would not vote for his own bill if it were to be reintroduced. — [MORE]

NOTE 2: The Republicans are in serious denial. — The post-election Republican soul searching has featured a convenient amnesia about the party’s race-based “Southern strategy.”

A few heretics excepted, they hope to blame all their woes on their unpopular president, the inept McCain campaign and their party’s latent greed for budget-busting earmarks. The trouble is far more fundamental than that. The G.O.P. ran out of steam and ideas well before George W. Bush took office and Tom DeLay ran amok, and it is now more representative of 20th-century South Africa during apartheid than 21st-century America. The proof is in the vanilla pudding. When David Letterman said that the 10 G.O.P. presidential candidates at an early debate looked like “guys waiting to tee off at a restricted country club,” he was the first to correctly call the election.

The icing on this rancid cake was the race-baiting of Obama and the immigrant bashing by G.O.P. hopefuls who tried to outdo the nativist fringe candidate Tom Tancredo. — [READ MORE -- THE MOOSE STOPS HERE]

There is ample evidence that the Bush THUGS in concert with the supreme court stole the 2000 elections, and robbed Al Gore of the presidency. [SEE THIS POST]

There is further evidence that Karl Rove and the GOP also stole the 2004 Election — via electronic voting machines manufactured by DIEBOLD, a company, whose head is the former chairman of the Maryland Republican Party and was on Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign steering committee.

Several polling locations all over the United States are using its “paperless touch-screen machines” — READ no backup in case of recounts etc.!

In Republican controlled counties and states, the voting machine vendor is in charge of delivering its machines from warehouses to polling places on Election Day and with picking up the machines after the election.

In other words, the FRAUD begins at the time of manufacturing — of the machines (by a Republican managed company), during delivery and the election process itself. There have been numerous incidents of DIEBOLD machines flipping votes to McCain during the last few weeks of early voting, in West Virginia and other locations.

Even The FOX News “NAZI’s” Have Evidence

In the 2004 elections the Ohio state machinery was run by Republicans, when they controlled both houses of the legislature. Central to the thieving scheme was the secretary of state at that time, Kenneth J. Blackwell, a black ReTHUGliTOM, who doubled as Ohio’s chief elections officer and the co-chairman of the Bush-Cheney re-election committee.

According to the current Ohio Secretary of State, Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, two-thirds of Ohio counties have destroyed or lost their 2004 presidential ballots and related election records, “Accidentally.” Of course — to hide the rampant election corruption under Blackwell’s reign of fraud.

Republicans have never won an election fairly — they will always find a way to STEAL, and this election cycle they are engaging in the same FRAUDULENT SCHEMES.

Their loud cries of ACORN! ACORN! REGISTRATION FRAUD! is just camouflage.

In a recent article at Salon.com, Andrew Burmon writes: “Under the guise of protecting elections from voter fraud, the GOP is seeking to disenfranchise new, poor, minority and new voters? Is It a racist strategy, absolutely, and African-Americans and Latinos are perfect targets. It is a simple three-step process. Fraud allegations lead to restrictive voter laws, which lead to a class-skewed electorate. As the Democrats try to get out the vote, Republicans will try to stop it.” — [READ MORE HERE]

The Republican Party is a GOLIATH VOTE STEALING MACHINE — From inflated absentee votes to doctored OVERSEAS MILITARY VOTES to HACKED DIEBOLD MACHINES with “no paper trail” for verification in case of election disputes.

After almost three months, poor Sarah still cannot define the job she is applying for.

The constitution of the United States clearly states the “limited” duties of a US Vice-President:

The Vice President of the United States is the first person in the presidential line of succession, becoming the new President of the United States upon the death, resignation, or removal of the president, should he or she accept the position. Every presidential term ends on January 20 of the year immediately after a presidential election. As designated by the Constitution of the United States, the vice president also serves as the President of the Senate, and may break tie votes in that chamber. He or she may be assigned additional duties by the president but, as the Constitution assigns no executive powers to the vice president, in performing such duties he or she acts only as an agent of the president.

Sarah Palin apparently doesn’t know so.

Sarah Thinks The VP is a “Majority Leader” OR a “Prime Minister”

McCain’s Palin Problem

New polls indicate that McCain’s biggest negative is his selection of Sarah Palin. McCain’s gamble to lure Hillary Clinton women voters is backfiring badly. Palin is not only viewed by a majority as un-qualified, but also as an unlikeable, negative and divisive. (In a new NBC/WSJ poll, 55 percent said Gov. Sarah Palin is not qualified to be vice president.)

What seemed to be a clever and exciting choice by John McCain, now looks like a disastrous display of poor judgment — a quagmire from which McCain will not be able to extricate himself.

Sarah seems to be incapable of operating in un-scripted mode, and seems deluded and confused when not reading from her handler’s notes, and when she speaks on the campaign trail, she engages in vicious demagoguery, which apparently many voters do not like.

The “Drilla From Wasilla” is a hopeless disaster. She is a rude and “Power Hungry” intellectual midget, unfit to be a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States. Palin is the biggest joke on America since Indiana’s Dan Quayle in 1988. Anyone supporting her is glorifying willful ignorance.

That she is governor of Alaska — a huge wilderness of less than 700,000 human beings (fewer people than each of the 20 largest cities in America), is irrelevant, because it is clear that her two year tenure as chief executive of the state of Alaska, really didn’t prepare her for the simplest of things — like reading-up the description of her potential job!
