Election Day in America or business as usual for the worlds number 1 democracy
Well folks it don't get better than this. It's the mid term elections and the whole world is waiting for the US to wake up smell the coffee and give the Democrats what we and they want, the chance to screw Bush over for the next 2 years and in the process maybe it will make the world a safer place for us and Hillary.
Now I ain't no Clinton fan, I firmly believe that the Democrats and Republicans are just two different faction of the one business party, but anything that puts a stop to this current administration is not a bad thing and in the weeks coming up to tonight, polls have showed that the Democrats could take both Houses. Obviously the lead has dropped as we have get nearer to the midterms but one thing that troubles me is the electronic voting machines, the Republican attempts to wipe voter registration lists and how this may effect the outcome.
like in 2000 & 2004 independent investigators has voiced concern that the Republicans are up to the same dirty tricks that gifted Bush; Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004. Some are suggesting that they even have their own secret polls that take this poll tampering into effect. This is a very worrying situation, especially when you consider that these actions by the republicans have the main effect of disenfranchising the votes of the people with the most to lose i.e. the poor and persons of ethnic minorities. Add to this the Democrats general demeanor, i.e. Gore allowing public officials aligned to the Republican party, to hand the presidency to Bush, and you can see the magnitude of this problem. And why are the Democrats not doing anything about this scandal? Well maybe because in Democratic held district's they are up to the same tricks.
