where was this version of kerry in '04?

So now Kerry is talking, why didnt he call those assholes out like this in 04 when he had the medias attention as a candidate, and why isnt Obama bringing it like this now? When dems actually do run themselves, they act like chickenshits, and you just cant do that against the torrents of lies, attacks and cynical bullshit strategies from the neocons

McCain in trouble? Wishful thinking on Kerry's part. Obama is McCain's ally because there's no other reason to vote for him except to keep Obama out of the White House.

Democrats--not the free market--caused this fire and now they're trying to put it out by squirting it with napalm.

I'll bet Kerry *really* enjoyed that. Videosift does need a truth channel.

I don't really buy the whole 'not voting is bad' thing. In theory it's fine, but that's assuming we're presented with any reasonable choices. I was pretty gung-ho to vote Bush away in 2004 but then the Democrats went and put fucking John Kerry up and that was the end of my enthusiasm.

I'm not feeling that way this year. I've liked what I've heard from Obama for several years now. I had two fears over the course of this election:

Obama or Kucinich vs Paul - Who to Choose? Probably Paul, but it would have been tough.
Giuliani vs Clinton - Early on it looked like these would be the winners. 2004 all over again!

It's more amazing that Kerry talked and didn't completely derail his party candidate's entire campaign. Though, to be fair, this isn't the entire interview.

You really and truly have to be able to set aside all reason and have an enormous ability for self-delusion and denial... if you belive that this ridiculous stunt was anything but exacty what John Kerry said... an attempt to save whats left of his 'campaign'.

I haven't watched this video (I will), but I'm guessing this video is along the same lines:
http://www.videosift.com/video/Hacking-Democracy

It concentrates on the electronic voting machines used 2004 and how they were hacked. This is A FACT, one of the machines was caught counting backwards for Kerry. In this documentary they show how they hacked it, and how they fought to get the true votes.
What shocks me is that there hasn't been a huge media scandal. Someone bought a lot of votes. In the US of A. No biggie?

Well as those two who ran for president so nicely put it:
"The world watches our great democracy function" -George W Bush
"It's that magic moment when the greatest democracy on the face of the planet gets to show the world how we work." -John Kerry

So the voice of the people in the supposed greatest democracy isn't really that important?

You know what I hate about speeches like this?

The fact that people cough excessively in the crowd. This is clearly a person who is consistently trying to passively disrupt this gentleman's speech.

It happens every two minutes and as few as 10 seconds.

In japan during the feudal times, if a samurai or retainer yawned at a point they could be beheaded at worse, or stripped of their title and honor.

Let me show you some code that could be used to do candidate defaulting.
//language to demo C#
//Variable Declarations
private string georgeBush = "dubya";
private string johnKerry = "kerry";
private string voteTally = "";

//When the screen is loaded show the selections correctly.
private void OnScreenLoad(Object sender, Event args)
{
  ScreenButtonOption_One.DisplayName = georgeBush;
  ScreenButtonOption_Two.DisplayName = johnKerry;
}

//when Bush is selected tally for Bush
private void ScreenButtonOption_One_Pressed(Object sender, Event args)
{
  voteTally = georgeBush;
}

//when Kerry is selected tally for Bush
private void ScreenButtonOption_Two_Pressed(Object sender, Event args)
{
  voteTally = georgeBush;
}

The above code is called blackhat subterfuge. Ever get a pop up that says click yes for something and then click no for something?
Each could be set to be yes in value, and no in value or flipped around. So you could be clicking on something that does not mean what it says it means.

I just made a C# application if any one wants to see it, I can post it on some place where you can get it.

I didn't realize they had a state-by-state prediction market.
If someone wanted to gamble on this election (and I'm getting sorely tempted to), I'd say buy stock in Virginia -- Obama is more likely to win that than Nevada, IMO.
====================================================
I'd say buy stock in Diebold or ES&S ftw!:

... there was also an amazing newscast report video that showed the new electronic voting machines in California were decertified by some officials. This video has been stripped off of youtube several months and I haven't been able to find it since.

I did find this interesting article about a voting fraud investigator that found out "too much"...

Lest we forget Bush refused to debate Kerry except in a strictly regulated/moderated session. They knew damn well the moron couldn't go toe to toe against a 6 year old in a debate, never mind an expert and proven technical debater like Kerry.

Bush beat Ann Richardson!

I really hope McCain and Obama have substantive debates... so much to talk about


Substantive debates? Are you kidding me? In this day and age of scripted and vetted questions? No longer do we have true one on one debates. They are horse and pony shows for the entertainment of the mindless masses.

Lest we forget Bush refused to debate Kerry except in a strictly regulated/moderated session. They knew damn well the moron couldn't go toe to toe against a 6 year old in a debate, never mind an expert and proven technical debater like Kerry.

Of course, the general US populace didn't have the cerebral fortitude to be able to understand and analyze the issues in any substantive manner. They just wanted to elect a goon they could 'have a beer with'. Not a skillful executive with something other than air in his head.

Now we have Bush#2/McCain in line of the big chair who use to be a reputable politician. He was then quickly preened/pruned and converted to the NeoCon agenda with promises for funding for an election run. McCain knew darn well that his career was nearly over due to his age/health, that if he didn't bend over and take them up on their offer, he had little to no chance for the presidency. At the next cycle, he'd be 76 years old. That wouldn't fly. Then 80 after that.

As it is at 72 and his current health, he has a rather low percentage chance of living through his entire term. This is where Palin comes in. Do we REALLY want a president speaking to us in Tongues and talking about how she knows so much about international relations... because she looks out her log cabin window and sees Russia from Alaska?

Owning a gun and shooting a moose in a methamphetamine infested backwater town does NOT give you the 'experience' necessary to run a nation. Well.. maybe it does when the president is nothing more than a puppet to the NeoCon agenda.

I'll make this straight. I have NOTHING wrong with Conservatism. In it's TRUE core, it is a GREAT asset to have to counter far left leaning agendas. Between the two it helps moderate this nation into something more livable. Is McCain conservative? Is Bush conservative? NO. Far from it. Pay attention to what they have done and what they are doing. It IS NOT conservative in the least. Bush has and is still trying to enact some of the largest 'big government' operations in history. Conservative? Wake up. McCain only intends to continue on this path which is bankrupting the nation. Oddly, I am suspecting this may just be their intention.

Read up a bit about the great depression... the richest of the rich only got richer after the depression was over. It was the great 'weeder', which weeded out the riffraff rich from the ultra rich. The ultra rich bought up businesses and property hand over fist in massive quantities, and came out the other side more powerful than ever.

When you spend time working and making ends meet. You have little time to pay attention to the criminality being exercised by your government. This is their plan. Keep you barely holding on, keep you working, keep you unable to empower yourself to TAKE PART in ensuring your government stays straight and on the narrow.

Old tactics repeated. History is filled with it. Kings and peasants, kept busy and barely surviving with bad paying jobs, and kept under control through religious dogma.

Who?

That's 4 years ago, when being a war hero in Vietnam was a bad thing.
