Programmer Claims he was Paid to Rig Votes

Duke Machesne writes "In the year 2000, Florida Republican Representative Tom Feeney hired programmer Clint Curtis, while he was working for NASA contractor Yang Enterprises, to write an undetectable vote flipping program which could 'control' the votes of electronic voting machines, according to Wayne Madsen's latest article for the Online Journal."

Opinion Journal investigation on same

[revscat]

Story here. Talks about this case as well as other vote fraud cases in Florida in 2000 and 2004, how the governor shut down investigations, and the entire criminal web of Republican political bosses.

Screw the bastards. Line em up and shoot em dead. America deserves better than these facsists. Anyone who partakes in this is an enemy of the people and the country and should be taken out. They're usurping our very democracy, and the apologists and propagandists can similarly line up against a wall.

Assholes. Yes, I am pissed, and no, I won't calm down. And screw "appearances", while we're at it.

This may or may not be true, but what sites reference it or do not reference says nothing about the same.

Now that's a straw man, coupled with a disjunctive syllogism. Logically, that's on par with my two year olds protests about bed time. You're a pretty clever fellow aren't you?

Given the history of the Republicans to engage in and condone rampant criminality it certainly passes the smell test.

Right. What planet are you from? What criminal activity are you talking about? Illegal use of FBI files? Obstruction of Justice? Perjury? Suborning perjury? Illegal trading? Misuse of government resources?
When was the last time a Republican actually broke the law? And don't give me any of that Halliburton shit, considering Kerry's connections to big money.

And why is it that democrats can break the law with impunity? (Does the name Mary Jo Kopechne ring a bell?)
Because they're somehow more moral in their secular humanism?

Way to go, dipshit. You've just proven that you don't know shit about shit.

Oh. and by the way... why the fuck does the slashdot logo for politics have a picture of the yanky doodle "we killed the injuns and live here now" flag on it?

Don't get me wrong, I used to like that flag.
Just like I used to like certain aspects of america.

But now you a just filthy pig dogs, so get the fuck out of our faces you bags of shit.

Come back when you respect your flag and it's meaning and your constitution and it's meaning as much as I do. Till then, shut the fuck up you filthy sons of dogs I am sick of your self-centered whinging.

Don't like something? FUCKING CHANGE IT. Fucking get those republican slimeballs and get them out of office.

I find it utterly astounding that some (such as the grand-parent) are able to completely ignore facts if it contradicts their impractical idealism.

BTW, his people only *TALK* against drugs, homosexuality, and for peace, and equality, while "take"ing great liberty in their hypocrisy while achieving none of the former.

You know, it's one thing for a rock star to be a drugged out pervert - that's what they tell you they are. It is another to be the highest rated conservative talk show host and a drug addict, or a god fearing bishop and a pedophile. Give me an honest sinner over a hypocrite any day.

Here's where they lost me:

Later on July 1, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Crime Laboratory in Moultrie informed the Valdosta Police that based on the "suicide" details, no autopsy would be performed on Lemme. Unlike Florida, Georgia does not perform mandatory autopsies. A doctor, with 25 years' clinical experience, who was interviewed for this story claimed that the circumstances of Lemme's death appeared to him to be a classic "mob hit."

Once I saw that the article contained the word "suicide" in scare quotes, I realized that further skimming would be utterly useless. Sure, there are bungled investigations, but the rest of the premise seems to be based on some unnamed doctor's memory of a bad mafia movie.

Oh, well, I guess the radical left needs to invent a scandal that can match the stupidity concocted by the radical right.

At least the guy I voted for has never been accused of having anyone axed. But then, you never know what might happ$%## NO CARRIER
