Happy Saturday...
17 more days until the mid-term elections. Are you registered? Are you voting? What is the main issue(s) on your mind influencing your vote?
I find the Cook Political Report makes an interesting read.

You first.
I am all about good government, honest government, transparent government, for the people and by the people and will vote accordingly. :D
Vote your conscience, as Granny says.
Then pray they don't lose your vote! Vote absentee-and make a copy of it-if you're in OHIO;-)
it's such a mess, it's hard to know where to start to get this country's shine back. i guess one starts with ending trickle down economics.
From the Weekly Standard
Novak writes that Hubris "never even mentions" a report that Valerie Plame "had been outed long ago" by Soviet spy Aldrich Ames. But Novak must have missed page 284 where we note that, before his arrest in 1994, Ames had served on a promotion panel for CIA officers, including those, like Plame, who had nonofficial cover (NOC) status. As we report, agency officials who conducted a post-mortem on the Ames affair feared that he may have tipped off the Soviets to the identities of CIA officers whose careers he was evaluating, and, as a result, some NOCs were brought home.
But we interviewed a number of senior CIA operations officers familiar with the Ames case--including a counter intelligence official with direct knowledge of the damage assessment report--and none could say with any certainty that Ames had specifically fingered Plame to his Soviet handlers.

Noooo kiddin! Novak (who is epitome of junkyard dog and traitor) the old boy must have immunity -he should praise Fitz, cause Novak, I wouldn't give ya the time of day! *LOL*
Restore and refine the Constitution and Bill of Rights. I understand this Patriot Act but the potential for abuse is overwhelming.
Like you say, for the people and by the people. It hasn't been this way for decades. Get the lobbyists, blackmailers, rogue government employees exposed. Foreign governments out of U.S. policy.
Honesty, dignity, responsibility.
Let voters know that NO ONE is above the law, because that is exactly what most of us think now days.
Excellent, 11am.
Do ‘computer police' have too much power?
We were held in our home under guard for five hours.
Our children came home and were also interrogated.
It was awful. We were accused of horrible crimes, crimes that even the mention of would ruin our reputations.
The investigation was to be complete within six to nine months. We were in shock.
At 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 2, the chief investigator of Pittsylvania County returned our possessions and said that the wrong IP (computer) address had been identified. We would not be charged.
Yup, I am ready. I am looking forward to November election!
Cheers!
Got to run! Busy day!
SAN DIEGO - The chairman of the House Armed Services Committee asked the Pentagon on Friday to remove CNN reporters embedded with U.S. combat troops, saying the network's broadcast of a video showing insurgent snipers targeting U.S. soldiers was tantamount to airing an enemy propaganda film.
The tape, which came to the network through contact with an insurgent leader, was aired Wednesday night on "Anderson Cooper 360" and repeated Thursday.
In a letter to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., wrote: "CNN has now served as the publicist for an enemy propaganda film featuring the killing of an American soldier."
The letter was also signed by San Diego-area Republican congressmen Darrell Issa and Brian Bilbray.
"This is nothing short of a terrorist snuff film," Bilbray said at a press conference held in San Diego.
rawstory.com
How ironic! I didn't even know what a "snuff" film was till I started searching about politicians. I was such a sheep, I had no idea that such things happened in our government over the years.
They are just trying to get their asses re-elected and keep how bad things are for our troops and innocent Iraqis quiet. Expose all the filth by voting them out.
P.S. Thank God, I am a prude!

Happy Saturday to you, Fitz, and everyone:
I'm registerd, I'm voting and I'm going to help vote the trash out of Arizona! LOL
The main issues influencing my vote are:
1. Qualified people
2. Honesty and intregity
3. A passion to serve the people and not special interests.
4. A vision for peace on earth and equality of mankind.
Oop! Spelled "integrity" wrong...oh well, you knew what I meant! :)
Someone that understands the passion of "public service" not "self serving" to all the perks/get what you can.

There will be a mad rush in these 17 days. Candidates will say anything to get a vote. Those who are in Bush's back pocket will say they think he's a bad President. If the public believes them gets the vote. Nov. 8th will be the usual stay the course/steal the money/lie to the public. If the public isn't fooled by the lies Nov. 8th will be change for the better. We can bring our troops home and start cleaning up the mess that the rubber stamp GOP made. Fitz government is as good as the people who represent it so let's hope Americans look carefully at who they're electing.
I just saw something funny on Michael Moore's web site.
Calling Agent Osama to duty as the Karl Rove ads go on TV. Yes Pork rind in running ads to put fear back in the Public as he did in 2004 election. Agent Bin Ladin will talk of threats to the US from video dated 2001. But that's not important it's more important that you get back the fear and vote GOP to save you from the 2001 threat. So what Agent Osama hasn't been seen or heard of he's always available to serve when needed by his Coward-in-Chief George W. Bush.
Agent Osama Bin Ladin was hand picked by Vice President Cheney to serve the United States of America. So when our country needs him all Bush as to do is call.
I am not registered, I am not voting because I am not a US citizen or resident. But if I was, I would sure be voting for the candidate who wishes for their to be a congressional inquiry into 9/11, the biggest crime on US soil of the century and who seems most likely to win, whether democrat or independent.For more visit http://www.scholarsfor911truth.org (st911.org)and prison planet.com

It's no mystery to me why the Clintons went to NYC after their presidency.
911 truth HEARINGS and breaking the republican majority control are my issues.
Yes I'll vote, and I hope Feds are watching the electronic theives much better.
All comprimized members OUT.
Dual nationals out of government.
Truth about PROMIS.
Truth about P-tech.
Truth about this treason.
Truth about the offshore accounts.
Media monopolies exposed and broken, I want them afraid to ever lie again.

Well said, 1:13pm. The media sure did its part to traumatize the nation by playing the towers falling over and over. Just a form of mind control.
Obstruction of justice at least, but I think they did far worse.

GREAT READ
I read the Cook report. Everyone has a spin of what party voteres lead towards. But, no one knows. But, I tell you what. If people hear of another lawmaker mixed up in Foleygate, or another soldier's death in Iraq and Afganistan, people will get sick and tired of being sick and tired and either won't vote or not vote GOP!

Amazing, bread heavy diet linked to cancer but depleted uranium, not so much according to Pentagon.
9/11 pulverized rubble a-okay to breathe like we all heard on the news...but watch out for that bread!
What's with this sink sink socks stuff? Is this spam or what?
I dunno...I'm chicken.
I saw the Michael Moore article of what Jackie commented. I think that is what Porkrind's "October" surprise: OBL attacks. It is another scare tactic to the public. The problem that the Porkrind and the rest of the WH idiots is that the Gerbil dismanted the whole operation and year and so ago to capture OBL. And they think people will buy this bullshit? People are not going to buy this new lastest GOP ad or this so-called hype that they are doing. OBL had enough time to find another cave to hide thanks to the Gerbil. The more those ads run the more irritated and determined the publid will be to vote the GOPs out!

WMR will report directly to our readers on Bolton's boorish behavior. Another reason to vote Democratic for US Senate is to ensure this one-time patron of the the former Manhattan sex club, "Plato's Retreat," is sent packing from the United Nations after the Democratic chairman brings down the gavel in January in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
What the hell is "Plato's Retreat"? I think it is nasty. I cannot get my QuickTime to work on Firefox. Anon.--5:43, maybe you can go see? The top links is what I looked up that were clean. I've seen that white rabbit stuff before. What does that mean anyway? Naive and a prude here.
Does anyone know how I get QuickTime to work on FireFox? IE 7 looks like it stinks already.

I read that about too SPB --about Rove and his bud, OBL. Fear and possible false flags.
I'm convinced that our voting system has been thoroughly corrupted by Diebold and others. Our current president has been allowed to illegally occupy the whitehouse. I'm choosing not to vote until the system is thief-proof.

Interesting.
Good Day Fitz and Justice Bloggers,
Voting Information! ;)
1. For those voting Absentee Ballot...
DON'T FORGET TO MAKE A COPY OF YOUR ABSENTEE BALLOT FOR YOUR RECORDS BEFORE YOU MAIL YOUR ORIGINAL IN...
IF YOU'RE REALLY SMART YOU CAN HAVE YOUR COPY OF THE ABSENTEE BALLOT NOTARIZED!!
2. Insider Information on Diebold Voting Machines and Voter Fraud!
Amazingly, Diebold makes other products such as ATM machines that do dispense paper receipts. They also make cash registers that print receipts to it's customers.
People do ask: Why can I get a receipt for my Slurpee but I can't get a receipt for my Vote ?!
This proves that Diebold and other e-Voting companies have an agenda.
3. Empowered at the Polls.
Voters and especially minority voters are encouraged to bring Handheld Portable Video Cameras or Voice Recorders to film any disenfranchisement or harrasment outside their polling places.
Record any problems runarounds to vote or not being allowed to vote.
Record Harrasment or discouragement to vote at the polls.
If you're internet savvy you can upload your video or audio to google video or youtube.
Don't take the law into your own hands. If you feel you've been wronged, contact an attorney!
4. Watch the News for Exit Polling. Exit polling is a method for gauging voter mindset. Keep a lookout for poll issues.
quote:
An exit poll is a poll of voters taken immediately after they have exited the polling stations. Unlike an opinion poll, which asks who the voter plans to vote for or some similar formulation, an exit poll asks who the voter actually voted for. Pollsters - usually private companies working for newspapers or broadcasters - conduct exit polls to gain an early indication as to how an election has turned out, as in many elections the actual result may take hours or even days to count.
-endquote
The current Poll information is pointing towards 74% of Citizens feel that the GOP is out of touch with issues. This gives one a good indication of voting attitudes.
As was the case in the 2004 Election, the Actual votes did not match the exit polling. This is a good indication of Voter fraud and there are lawsuits still pending to attest to those allegations.
An Attorney Hurricane will be standing by after the Election...
Good Luck! :)
How Sweet it is~...
"Our current president has been allowed to illegally occupy the whitehouse. I'm choosing not to vote until the system is thief-proof."
Well, that is sad that you feel that bad because that is how the Prez got into office twice. If you don't vote, you are simply caving in to what the WH wants.
People died and scarifice to give us the right to vote.
Well, I just hope people gwer out and vote and stand up for their country. I went on an outing today. And from talking to people, people are looking forward to voting. From a small people that I spoke to, they want thewir vote and voice count. There has been too much intimidation and bulliness by the Gerbil too long. It is time for people to have the united we stand mentality instead of divided we fall mentality.
Never Give Up, Never Give In!

Don't Thread on Me - The Independent American
Also, I agree with Anon's comment. There are people before us who sacificed and died for us to have the right to vote. And I think that people have forgotten that and the rights that we have in this country. While our soldiers are in Iraq and Afghanistan are fighting overseas and sacrifice their lives, we need to do our duty and vote and make a change in this country and elected officials so we can give voice to demand that those soldiers can come home. If you have the doom and gloom mode and just cave into the bulliness of the Gerbil, well nothing will ever change. Nothing will change from this Administration and the corrupted elected officials until you make that change first.

Good Evening JB's
All good suggestions, I went out and about today -everywhere people are mad about Bush and talking about it. A lady on another campaign gave me her number. (S-Q its the Ohio thing, we've never heard of strangers:-)
There is no way the republicans won't feel this at the polls. the dems numbers just keep going up.
The desperate emails I get from local republicans is pathetic. Talk about a dirty campaign. They call it dirty when the dems just tell the truth haha
SPB, those are the best suggestions I have seen, hope you don't mind if I cut and paste that for others.
My neighbors and other older people don't know what to do would find those points helpful.
I am going to think positive that our country will be wrested away from these thugs with the vote along with laws of the land. Only a democractic ending to this election is an acceptable outcome.
PS Nice flag, GEF;-)
Democrat voters should choose a secret ink color like the Iraqis and dip their finger. Make sure it stains for several days.
"Our current president has been allowed to illegally occupy the whitehouse. I'm choosing not to vote until the system is thief-proof."
=============================
Anon @6:38:
There is only one way to change that! Voting for CHANGE! It's up to us, we have the power to take back this country now!
This is the lowest approval rating of Congress in 14 years!
The Democrats have worked together more now, than in 50 years!
That says volumes to me!!
See you at the polls! :)
Something is definitely wrong with blogger.
Fitz, this computer crap spying scheme before the polls is making it harder and harder for some of us to connect and read the blog. Next time you see Bush, tell him his youngest brother is about a 5 in bed. Well, I was about a six that day, shocked me completely at how much they look alike- he wasn't very impressed with me either (bad day). Also mention Edinberg Castle if you'd like to see him go very pale. No mason will ever tell you about that. I just love pushing all these buttons. Not signing my name on this one.
BAGHDAD, Iraq - A senior U.S. diplomat said the United States had shown "arrogance" and "stupidity" in Iraq but was now ready to talk with any group except Al-Qaida in Iraq to facilitate national reconciliation.
In an interview with Al-Jazeera television aired late Saturday, Alberto Fernandez, director of public diplomacy in the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs at the State Department offered an unusually candid assessment of America's war in Iraq.
"We tried to do our best but I think there is much room for criticism because, undoubtedly, there was arrogance and there was stupidity from the United States in Iraq," he said.
Maybe they were crazy and stupid as a fox too. Perhaps the object was to lose after all. After all, who is making all the war profit? Play both sides and you cannot lose.
MOSCOW - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Saturday delivered a symbolic rebuke to Russia over shrinking press freedoms even as she courted President Vladimir Putin for help punishing Iran over its nuclear program.

"It would create problems for the stock market and maybe make some foreigners wary of financing the U.S. deficit, leaving the dollar vulnerable," said Michael Cheah, who manages $2 billion in mostly fixed-income investments at AIG SunAmerica Asset Management in Jersey City, New Jersey.
With less than three weeks to go until the election, polls show support for the ruling Republicans and President George W. Bush at levels that are worse than when the Democrats lost control of Congress in 1994.
Along with the big headline: Dollar could slide if Congress goes to Democrats. First war in Iraq worse because of elections, now this. Stinkin', dirty humps.
(I'm not so sure the dollar isn't being propped up by stolen money in the first place.)

Hi GEF: :)

anon 6:38pm....
the "psuedo prez" didn't get into office b/c I didn't VOTE. I voted with PATRIOTISM & belief in the SYSTEM (2000 / 2004). I discovered too little too late, that BUSH Dynasty $$$ bought the Supreme Court decision in 2000 that put the current "b*tt f*cking" pedophile, thieves/torturers into office. I agree with you, it's a shame that people are dying to give us the right to vote, and that our voting system is CORRUPT.
Anon at 11:49 pm:
The mistake with a zipper and prick President will get what he deserved with his greed, lies, and money. His presidency and his legacy will be joke and the town drunk and whore will be back on his ranch with only the bottle that he only gives a damn about. You get what you give out! Bush brought his Presidency but he can't take his money and belongings to the place where he will meet his maker.

US President George W Bush is holding a video conference with his senior generals in Iraq to discuss the escalating violence there.
Mr Bush has said they may focus on changing tactics to combat the unrest, but not the overall military strategy.
In his radio address, he said that he would employ "every necessary change" to quell the surge in attacks.
Meanwhile, Cheney campaigning saying things are going well. Sneer...

Anonymous Package Appears To Contain Election Systems
http://www.wusatv9.com/news/
news_article.aspx?storyid=52968&provider=top
AP) - A former Democratic state delegate from Montgomery County says she was sent an anonymous package containing what is believed to be the computer code used in Maryland's touch-screen voting machines in the 2004 election.
I'm sorry, but with religious leaders manipulating people and sticking their noses in government, hiding crimes themselves, engaging in crimes...
The people really don't care to hear that, Bush doesn't probably care anyway. Besides, what does that say to the next candidate or a generation or two away? Do what you want to humanity and your nation---they will let you be judged later? Don't underestimate how much people have figured out about decades of crimes or many past Presidents.

The latest "Washington Post"-ABC Poll, October 5-8, 2006, found that 63 percent of Americans think that the war in Iraq has not been worth fighting, the highest percentage of the Bush presidency.
Opposition to the war has been consistently greater than 50 percent for over a year. Yet, on the national scene, not a single major politician of either party has embraced this issue. The same polls that show a fall in support for President Bush and the Republicans do not show an equal rise in support for the Democrats.
Imagine if we all knew the whole and full truth.
All the talk about who's leading who. Well I've notice that with everyday comes more bad news from everywhere. Our soldiers are picked off like ducks yet Bush continues to say stay the course. Alot of officials and respected leaders are now speaking up that Iraq will never be won and the United States will lose. I have faith in Americans to do the right thing and vote for change. Our troops have known for a long time that we were losing but the White House continued to lie. Together we can do great things so let's get the people elected who want to work for the best interest of the people and not themselves. On a personal note get the government officials out of office who are currently stealing and letting the pages get abused by elected officials we must protect the children.

Good Morning All,
Something was wrong with Fitz site last night, I kept getting a white screen and couldn't get on.
-----------------
Cheney is working hard on MI, I find it concerning because the last time he worked so hard it was on OHIO.
Has ambien given up the idea of stealing from OH voters, since we're onto him? Hmm
It was the vice president's second visit to Michigan in as many weeks. Cheney stopped in East Grand Rapids last week to raise money for Republican Senate candidate Mike Bouchard and the GOP, and also appeared at a rally for the Michigan National Guard in Wyoming, a Grand Rapids suburb.
Good posts last night all, I gotta go blog;-) bbl

Ellsberg Says Hastert Collected Suitcase of Al Queda Drug Money
Yep, I've read things about Denny that says he's a traitor to our country, at least in most Americans' books.
Gary Aldrich: Well, recall that we had Ronald Reagan in the White House for eight years and then we had George Bush for four and during that period of time scandalous behavior was kept to an absolute minimum I would say, based on my knowledge of history. And of course during the George Bush administration there's virtually nothing happening at the White House that could be considered scandalous. And I think what happened then was that the Clinton Administration came to town, they were a rolling scandal. They had scandals going on at all times. The federal government, including the FBI, was absolutely helpless to understand it, to deal with it, to react to it, in what I would say in an appropriate manner and it just continues and it's continuing to this day.
This is a former FBI agent, I believe. See statements like these have to be the greatest lies ever told or understatements. Reagan and Bush no scandals? LMAO!!! Start at JFK's death and proceed from there.
Registered, and have already voted absentee here in Southwestern Ohio. I happen to be going out of town that day, but I would have voted absentee, in any case.
Keeping my fingers crossed now that others get out and vote, as well.
