I didn’t know that Diebold sold voting machines to the House of Representatives! ;-)
February 7th, 2006 at 10:06 am#1 That must be how John Boehner (R-OH) managed to beat Roy Blunt (R-MO). ;-)
February 7th, 2006 at 10:15 amDon’t worry about the outcome of this Dieboldt election.
If DeLay does not get convicted, Boehner has indicated that he would be willing to talk about returning the job back to DeLay.
Unbelievable.
February 7th, 2006 at 10:21 amIsn’t that how the Republicans count all their votes of late? They took lessons from Chicago of olden days — Vote! and Vote often!
February 7th, 2006 at 10:21 amThe GOP thinks that they are more American than the rest of us, so they get more than one vote per person.
February 7th, 2006 at 10:21 amIt’s only fair in a fascist state.
Wow, they’re even stealing elections from themselves. Too funny.
February 7th, 2006 at 10:25 amthe ’shock and awe’ will come at the next election and 08. Now they will steal all they can, start WWIII so they can make money from it…also…get ready for the draft folks, but don’t look for any ‘over privledged’ kids to get drafted. The bush twins are safe.
February 7th, 2006 at 10:37 amRep. Pryce from Ohio being in charge of the ballots. There must have been a clerical error. The ironies of this are endless. never a dull moment down at the sausage factory.
February 7th, 2006 at 10:38 amI’m concerned about this: “House Republican lawmakers and aides traded scores of e-mails with colleagues, lobbyists (my italics-jes)and allies while electing Rep. John Boehner as their new majority leader and Rep. Adam Putnam as policy chairman.
More than a half-dozen staffers and lobbyists shared e-mails with The Hill that were sent and received that day on the condition that the senders and the receivers remain anonymous.â€
LOBBYISTS?!! What involvement should lobbyists have in picking the new House Majority Leader? After all of the scandals, don’t Republicans ever learn? Krikey!
February 7th, 2006 at 10:50 am#9… no they don’t learn. They are drunk with power. Just like an alcoholic, even if they find themselves in bad situations, they will continue to do wrong because they just don’t know any better. They are just too consumed. They can’t see the light anymore. They figure that can move onto the next scandal and be safe for a few more moths, possibly years. And when THAT becomes public, on to yet another scandal.
The refuse to learn because the cards are in their favor. The house and senate are on their side, the president is on their side, they’ve fooled the majority of religious institutions to funneling them money non-stop. They’ve fooled a a large number of Americans into beleiving they are the honest ones.
And they KNOW that the media doesn’t cover it much, and when they do, the majority of Americans will just roll back over to sleep and forget it because they don’t think it effects them personally.
If the American public doesn’t feel personally harmed by it right away – than apparently it doesn’t matter. So that is why Republicans will never learn. They don’t have a teacher, and they have no one to force any discipline on them.
February 7th, 2006 at 11:00 amDo whatever you can to dump these freaks in the next election. They are clueless. They are servants of the nation and they can’t even count. You and I vote them in, not diebold. Remember that.
February 7th, 2006 at 11:07 amI know. I know. You didn’t vote them in. But you can VOTE THEM OUT. You can. We need to dump these worthless losers and it’s going to take every angry citizen to do it.
February 7th, 2006 at 11:11 ameven amongst themselves they cannot have an honest election!

To think these guys call themselves representatives of the people. By the Emails and lobbyists influnence, it would be perhaps more proper to say they are Represetatives of Corporate Empowerment or Fascism.
Bush says he doesnt know how poor people think.
I dont know what these Senators are thinking.
The radio station here in dallas, Jack FM, consistently beats up on the Senators for taking money. The blurbs are short, but the are effective. I havent seen a Bush Cheney Sticker ANYWHERE. Those that removed their Stickers, when asked why, usually say “That Bush is a Damn Liar” “Not a Conservative”
They NEVER wanted to be conservatives, they wished to turn the ‘Neutral Center’ of Government into a Dictatorship or Unitary Executive. Indeed their is no ‘neutral rationality’ left in the LIE HOUSE.
February 7th, 2006 at 11:34 amSo the NCR of Norquist, Rove and Abramoff set out to get the votes of the wackos, the religious, the conservatives, and as many swing voters as possible.
Of course it was as today, ALL LIES.
If DeLay does not get convicted, Boehner has indicated that he would be willing to talk about returning the job back to DeLay.
Probably why they fixed the vote in his favor.
But look on the bright side. They’re crooks, but at least they’re clumsy enough to get caught.
