Comments for Bye-Bye Coke, Hello Pepsi - Anatomy of the Midterms at http://www.pacificfreepress.com , comment 1 to 2 out of 2 comments http://www.pacificfreepress.com Wed, 03 Dec 2008 06:11:13 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.pacificfreepress.com/news/1/194-bye-bye-coke-hello-pepsi-anatomy-of-the-midterms.html#comment-141 This is the second article this week that disputes the conspiracy view of electoral rigging. What's going on? That the 2000 and 2004 elections were stolen is beyond dispute. That the voting machines were hacked is beyond dispute. It has been shown how it was done. If this article was in the NYT or WaPo, I would not see it as unusual, but here on this site for thinking ans informed readers, I have to ask what the agenda is. Well, what is it? - Griffon Sun, 12 Nov 2006 03:37:52 +0100 http://www.pacificfreepress.com/news/1/194-bye-bye-coke-hello-pepsi-anatomy-of-the-midterms.html#comment-140 I can appreciate the thigh slapping 'schedenfraude' of progressive's everywhere watching Bush and his Fourth Reich cohorts licking their electoral wounds but I fear it may be very short lived. Fact - the electronic voting machines can be easily rigged. If there was any genuine concern to truly protect the validity of the democratic mandate there would be a simple 'cash point' style paper trail. There isn't and with Democrats now bracing themselves to become kings of the hill, the momentum to protect the integrity of elections will slip down the agenda. I'm disappointed by articles like this which uses the hackneyed "conspiracy" label to undermine those people who's main concern is the integrity of the elections. Surely good sites like this should be doing all they can to support this cause. Yeah let's all whoop at Rumsfield's bloodied scalp but also be careful of a 2008 knock-out sucker punch. The USA has switched brands. It went from Coke to Pepsi, but guess what - inside the American 'body politik' - it's still rotten. - Pablo Sat, 11 Nov 2006 17:44:46 +0100
