    So there's hope. Maybe the US will get a democracy some day. And less war. And less unemployed. And civilisation.

    Good thing that this is a Republic because it will be the electoral college to get things straight this time. Second runner ups will be the blood sucking lawyers.

    The rebuttal, of course, is:

    "Just hope he doesn't have the case in Florida..."

    More specific to this case: "... Or Diebold will be the one who tallys the verdict (by themselves, with no paper trail, in a dark room)"

    More specific to the 2000 elections: "... Or the Republicans will threaten half the jury with jail time if they show up, and convince the other half that they aren't due for jury duty for another week, then use higher up, Republican judges to declare the whole thing kosher afterwards."

    Just consider who's the governor.

    It's a publicity ploy...and since the ex-actor is now a politician, that means it's a political ploy.

    I'm not disputing that Diebold made false claims and defrauded the state. But The Gov. isn't usually bothered by such triffles.

    I think we've pushed this "anyone can grow up to be president" thing too far.

    don't know if you noticed or not, but arny is barely a republican either. he is a tool of the party who shares few of their values but is very camera friendly so they use him to peddle their crap...
