Greg Palast: BBC Newsnight - "Theft of 2008"

BBC report: Theft of 2008 (Part 1 of 2)

BBC investigative reporter, Greg Palast, has already begun investigating how "the story of the systematic attack on US voters that could easily cost Barack Obama the White House." For those unfamiliar, Mr. Palast did lengthy reporting into how the 2000 & 2004 elections were wrought with voter fraud. And he has been doing his best to inform people ahead of time this year. Unfortunately, other than BBC and indie media, he is largely silenced by the Main-Stream Media which avoids these issues... that is until ACORN becomes a hot (GOP produced) topic.

One of these Senators is not like the other...

Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) about to bitchslap McCain, Lieberman

From my post at In What Respect, Charlie?: The Senior U.S. Senator from my home state of Connecticut, Chris Dodd, has "lashed out in his sharpest comments that anyone can remember against McCain," according to Christopher Keating in The Hartford Courant. According to the article, the lashing came after Senator John McCain in a 'Town Hall meeting' said that "some Democrats had "fought against reform'' and were "willing co-conspirators'' in the process. As part of the speech, he specifically mentioned two Democrats who have been involved in the $700 billion bailout package - Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts and U.S. Senator Chris Dodd of Connecticut."
"John McCain can spend the next 25 days trying to erase his 25-year record of deregulation, but the American people aren't buying it," Dodd said. "The truth is as chairman of the Commerce Committee, John McCain was the master of deregulation. Now, all of a sudden, he's found religion and is trying to paint himself as a populist regulator, but it's not going to work."
As for the Junior Senator from Connecticut, that Independent Democrat Joe Lieberman, the 20-year veteran, BFF of John McCain just introduced McCain's girl Sarah to the voter's of Florida. According to Michael Crowley in The New Republic,
"She's so strong, she's so capable, she's so competent," Lieberman told the cheering crowd. Emphasizing her "faith," he added that she is someone who "with your help--and God's help--will be the next vice president of the United States." More big cheers."She's so strong, she's so capable, she's so competent," Lieberman told the cheering crowd. Emphasizing her "faith," he added that she is someone who "with your help--and God's help--will be the next vice president of the United States." More big cheers.
Considering this may have been the same Florida Rally where Palin pushed the "Obama as terrorist" line of thought that has riled up 'her base' (which McCain now can't control). If that's the case, then we in CT really need to find a way to have a recall election for this shmuck!
