The fraud in the Philadelphia area is sooo huge that I've always been stunned that NO REPUBLICAN aside from Curt Weldon has even tried...

You're right. There were precincts in Philadelphia in 2004 that had 100% turnout and 99% of those votes were cast for Kerry. It's a damned disgrace.

Why not sick the FBI on them. Voter fraud is unacceptable. The same thing happpens in Detroit as well methinks.

I can't see how democrats would even vote for Gore or Kerry. I understand that democrats look at politics differently than we do but GORE or KERRY! Yuk even the Democrats picked the bottom of the barrel with those guys. I guess we had out bottoms too with Dole (I can't think of anyone else though).

The 100% turnout is a joke. Thousands that are registered never vote. The poll workers vote for them (same way they vote for the dead). There are only enough republicans in Philly to man 38% of the polling places. The other 62% are are manned by all democrats, that's how they get such a big "turnout". Same is probably true in places like Chicago I suppose.
For most of the people voting democrat here in Philly there doesn't even have to be a campaign. They just pull the democratic lever once every two or four years without knowing anything about who is running or what they stand for. They are just a bunch of lemmings.

Here are some pics.

First,as a lagniappe, we have a couple from the Gesu Church in Rome (a Jesuit Church which sent out the good news out about the Satanic aspects of the Lutheran heretical virus), where a pre-cannonization ceremony was held for the Blessed Theodore Geurin. The first shows the Virgin Mary with a whip like device in one of her hands and the cross in the other with her foot on Luther's back, about to engage in flagellation, with an angry cherub to the left ripping out the pages of from Luther's bible. The next is from a fresco in the ceiling. It is hard to see, but the mass in the lower portion of the pic is a bunch of Lutherans writhing in agony as they are being dumped into hell by a angry God who is quite annoyed at the chutzpah of it all. Think what the scenes would be like if Calvin were the subject. :) Good stuff!

Next, a pic from the cannonization ceremony itself. Four persons were cannonized. Guerin's pic is to the right. The Pope walked along one of the aisles about 8 feet from me, but I was too slow with the camera. The Pope's contingent is in green garb, the cardinals of course in red, the archbishops in purple, and the folks in black suits to the right from the diplomatic corp or those with more pull than my contacts had. Behind me were four young chaps in some Jesuit program testing their faith as to whether to enter a seminary to become priests. One was an Austrian, fluent in both Italian and English, who translated in real time the Pope's homily given in Italian. I told him about the art in the Gesu, and he thought the message was "beautiful." He also thought that women were unfit to be priets because their gender was not pedogogically suitable for the task. He suggested that women practice medicine and teach in a way different from men. I suggested that the model collapsed when it came to female lawyers, whom in my experience will cut your genitals off with even more gusto than the male gender does. Moving right along, he offered and I accepted his offer to translate the Pope's homily given in Italian into English in real time. He did a great job! The message was that wealth was a barrier making it more difficult to getting close to God. I guess that is my problem. I need to divest.

Now a view of the Dome of St. Peters from the "other" side, far from the madding crowd, the entrace hall to my pied a terre in Rome with a few of my closest friends, and a couole of landscape shots of the Vatican gardens.

Finally, a pic of a street that used to be a Jewish neighborhood, until the Pope moved them out across the Tiber to a more flood zone friendly area, sometime in the 18th century. Jews were not allowed to live anywhere else. The last pic is of the oculus of the Pantheon, which in its spare simplicity, is the most spendid architectual treasure in all of Rome, at least vis a vis my tastes. It is a marvel of architectual and engineering design, which has lasted in splendid shape for about 2000 years.
