This is written by the guy (nutjob) that was on Hannity and Colmes last week that sent Colmes off. Colmes was so pissed at Lytel he told him he's making libs look bad. Read on and you can see how bad they really are. (But, most of you know that already) --------------------------------------------------------
If it is true that wisdom grows only from truth then the newspaper-reading public in the nation’s capital is being starved of the food they need to be wise citizens. After more than a month of avoiding the single most urgent question before the American people – whether the presidential election was conducted lawfully and the actual winner awarded with the victory – the Washington Post has taken up the issue with appalling results, lending what credibility it has left as an objective news source to the White House’s cover up of crimes against democracy. In an effort to appear “even-handed,” which is to say to not provoke Bush and his cabal from damaging the company’s ability to get government approval for its mergers, acquisitions and license renewals, the Post hides the most salient fact: There are considerably more reported cases of vote suppression, fraudulent vote casting and fraudulent vote counting than George W. Bush’s margin of victory in Ohio. In all likelihood the surveys of voters as they left the polling places are accurate and considerably more people went to the polls that day to vote for John Kerry both in Ohio and nationwide. Should he be re-inaugurated on January 20th Bush will once again be securing the greatest prize the American political system has to offer, the presidency, through fraud, deception and illegal activity aided by a willfully ignorant press.
The commercial news media parrots the Bush “explanation” of the widespread misadministration of the 2004 election and is prepared to accept it as uncritically as it did Bush’s deceit on weapons in Iraq, Saddam Hussein’s involvement in the attacks of 9/11 or a host of other outright lies they have carried on Bush’s behalf. They tell us that the fraud and deception used to maximize the vote totals of the party in power and minimize the votes of opposing parties are merely random “glitches” or “irregularities” and that the only recourse is to fix the system in time for the next election, but they are wrong on both counts.
The misadministration of the election was deliberate and purposeful and we have more than one course of action to return the nation to the proper path right now. There is overwhelming evidence that the misadministration of the election was nonrandom. There are disparities between the number of people who signed in to vote at polling places on election day and the number of votes recorded on the machines in Ohio and Florida. The original records of who showed up to vote have been deliberately destroyed in Volusia County, Florida and elsewhere.
Virtually all of Bush’s statewide victory margin in Ohio comes from just 9 counties. In Warren County, for example, officials closed the vote counting to outside observers for the first time anyone can remember, on the advice of the national Department of Homeland Security, which now denies it. The county emergency services coordinator, however, reports he was told that Warren County, which is suburban Cincinatti, was a ten on a scale of ten as a likely target of terrorism. Warren County has nothing in it Al Qaeda cares about but it is the single most important county in the nation to Bush’s re-election, being the last polling place in the state to close and providing a third of the margin he needed to claim victory on election night.
None of this passes the simple test of randomness – it is literally impossible that chance could produce errors that all point in the same direction, giving votes to Bush.
We do not have to suffer another four years of an illegitimate presidency since the Constitution provides us with two ways of successfully challenging Bush’s reinauguration. First, there almost surely will be a Constitutional challenge to the legitimacy of the electors from Florida, Ohio and potentially other states as well. I was involved in the drafting of the written challenge available to Florida Congressman Alcee Hastings and the other brave Members of Congress who challenged Florida’s electoral votes in 2000, when there was no one alive who had ever experienced a Constitutional challenge of electoral votes. Now, however, I can say I have a pretty good idea how to succeed this time. Kerry must be told that he is not authorized to “accept” a fraudulent election on our behalf, and I suspect that once the dimensions of the conspiracy to steal the election in 2000 become known Al Gore will regret having done so four years ago.
This time we can and will have widely recognized public advocates, a great legal team and leaders in both the House and Senate who are widely respected by their peers and the public.
When the Congress meets in joint session on 1/6 there will be a written challenge duly signed by at least one member of each house and they will return to their respective chambers to conduct a time limited debate. Can we actually win a challenge against the electors of Ohio, Florida and other states? Yes. If we have about 80 House co-sponsors by January 3rd or so then the House Democratic Caucus will stand united and we will have Nancy Pelosi as our leader. The historic decision on the continuation or termination of the Bush presidency will then rest with the most lonely and abused faction in the House – moderate Republicans. Look to Sherry Bohelert and Chris Shays and people like that to see what they will do. Not all Republicans back Bush or the brutal tactics he and his cronies are prepared to use to remain in power. With a dozen or so Republicans joining House Democrats the Bush presidency would be over and democracy restored. A similar dynamic will play out in the Senate if we have five or so co-sponsors before the session begins.
And if that doesn’t work there is another way. Article 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment sets out penalties for massive vote suppression, since that is one of the problems the union faced after the Civil War. Northerners feared precisely what ended up happening – that the white elites in the South would take advantage of the increased number of citizens they now had once slavery was over but that they would not permit the freed slaves access to the ballot so they could successfully secure representatives they could trust. It says that if the right to vote in an election for president is “in any way abridged” then the representatives of that state will be reduced in proportion to the scale of the vote suppression. While this applies to representation in Congress, it also applies to the office of Elector, even though people only hold that office for a single day to do just one thing – vote for president. A Federal lawsuit backed by 550,000 affidavits from a state would be sufficient to reduce the number of electors from that state and as a consequence the number of electoral votes it has to cast on January 6th. Happily, the Internet makes it possible to put up a form necessary to produce a legal affidavit on Monday and have well over 550,000 of them from multiple states on the next day. Bold and messy, but plausible.
The treasonous conspirators behind the unlawful theft of the presidency must stand trial if the nation is to heal and usher in a new era of democratic revival. Our deepest commitment is to democracy and to the rule of law, which must be able to produce a just outcome if our political system is not to bleed to death from the loss of legitimacy. While the commercial news media is now reporting that something happened, the giant institutions protected by the First Amendment must now dust it off and take it out for a ride speaking truth to power once again. Just as the story of the fires in Charles County were not reported as an unexplained personal tragedy, the damage to our democracy is being done by arsonists. Worse, they appear to work for the fire department, and we need the news media to do its job and secure the truth for us so we may act widely as citizens.

Lytel, GET A LIFE!!!
As long as this passes for left wing opposition, our grip on government is quite secure.
"we need the news media to do its job and secure the truth for us so we may act widely as citizens."
By abandoning its role of objective observer and joining in partisan politics, the MSM has made itself an instrument of political action. Now that it has chosen a side, its subject to criticism for not doing enough for the 'cause', and will eventually be eaten by its own.
Three amazing problems with this statement... 1) the demographics on the exit polls do not match the actual demographics of the people who showed up to vote -- when weighted to the actual proportions (after the fact), the exits polls actually wound up being reasonable correct. 2) Even with 100% correct methodology, 1 poll in 20 will be a "clunker" (outside the margin of error). 3) The margin of error could have had Kerry up by 4 and still have been "correct", because it is +/- 3 points for each candidate (possible 6-point swing).
Can it feed itself, too?
Under no circumstances, though, should it be allowed to reproduce.
Yeah, it is gonna be real easy to get EVERY Democrat Representative and a DOZEN Republican Representative to overturn the election. Then it is gonna be even easier to get EVERY Democrat Senator and a half-Dozen Republican Senators to vote to overturn the election. This baby is in the bag for Kerry...
It is ridiculous how much weight these DUmmies put on these exit polls. It just shows how easy these DUmmies can be manipulated with the use of statistics they have absolutely no understanding of. It was like that moron that had given Kerry a 99.6% chance of winning the election. They all took his word like gospel or in their case took his word like Darwinism.
