Doug, Wouldn't it be wiser to ask why Operation 911 was allowed to happen by a military that appears to have "stood down" on 9/11, and a intelligence apparatus that seems to have actively suppressed field investigations of terrorists? unansweredquestions.org The fact that you dwell on the horror of the event to the exclusion of asking why it happened indicates that you really need to think this through a lot more thoroughly. Just some friendly advice. Remember, your King George has been actively trying to suppress investigations into what happened. Doesn't that seem like a screaming red flag to you? -Ray

I'M SHOCKED, SHOCKED THAT THERE'S VOTER FRAUD INVOLVED Doug, The sordid Florida voter fraud is worse than I thought. Read this and tell me what you think: "(Greg Palast's) evidence on the 2000 Florida Presidential election voting process is both astonishing and terribly troubling. Palast also offers clear documentary evidence that Blacks were racially profiled to be eliminated from voter rolls by Florida's voter/felon purge. Essentially, at the behest of Katherine Harris, under Jeb Bush's close watch, Florida systematically and intentionally denied voting rights to approximately 90,000 voters whose right to vote in Florida was legally unquestionable--and over 54% of them were Black. Since Florida Blacks voted 93% for Al Gore, Palast's remarkably detailed book makes it perfectly evident that illegally purged Black votes prevented Florida from voting overwhelmingly for Al Gore and giving Gore the presidency. Palast also demonstrates that the issue is not one of Black incompetence. Voting machines were set to accept double voted, and therefore uncountable, ballots in Black districts, while they were set to reject double voted ballots in White districts, so Whites could recast their ballots. In other counties with heavily Black populations, the automatic protection systems which reject double voted ballots were simply turned off to "reduce costs." So while Bush "won" the presidency on a 5-4 Supreme Court vote which said, essentially, that Americans don't have the Constitutional right to vote for the President, something far more sacred was lost in the Florida voting process--the right of every eligible, adult American to have his or her vote counted and to have that vote determine who will lead our country.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Doug, Do you agree with me that George Bush is in the White House because of the fraudulent activity of HIS BROTHER AND HIS CAMPAIGN MANAGER in Florida? Wouldn't a gentleman resign? -Ray
