AN URGENT CALL TO
FLAPDOODLE READERS!!

Democrats.com, the first online community for all us 100 million Democrats, has sent out an urgent appeal for funds to help the with the lawsuit against GOP absentee ballot tampering in Seminole County. In Florida, this kind of nonsense is a felony - - and rightly so. If the legal precedents are followed, a victory in this vital case should cause thousands of absentee ballots to be disqualified, handing Al Gore the Presidency.

Democrats.com is in urgent need of funds to launch and manage a public relations campaign on behalf of this lawsuit, filed by Harry Jacobs, an Orlando-area attorney.

THE POSSUM COUNTY DAILY FLAPDOODLE
Serving America - One Possum At A Time!

NO!! I WANT THE OLD JOKES!!! NOW!!!!

Just who's in charge here, anyway?
Dateline: December 7, 2000
ANOTHER DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY

Since it caused some major misunderstandings last time I did this, I’d like to say up front: this is not intended to be funny. To the best of my knowledge, this is true. And if you want to link to this page to share the information in blue, please link to the permenant version. I change this page daily.

The Seminole County absentee ballot fraud case is almost over; the closing arguments will be heard today at 1 p.m. Florida time. The Martin County absentee ballot fraud case will continue as well. Also up is the Florida State Supreme Court’s review of Judge Saul’s decision on Gore’s contest suit. I think we have a very good chance of winning any or all of these three vital court cases.

Why am I so sure?

Yesterday, the heavily Republican Florida State Legislature voted to have a special session for picking Electors. If the courts find for Gore, and the new vote counts prove what anybody who gave camp Smirk’s actions twenty seconds worth of thought knows, that Gore won Florida, the State Legislature is almost certain to go ahead and pick their own (Bush) Electors. This will be the real Constitutional crisis, Possums one and all. Camp Smirk will spin like mad that Gore’s Electors are the fake ones and drag him up before the Supreme Court. (There is no way Smirk is going to let anything lie still when he could sue it.) Smirk’ll eat up the clock any way he can, just so that the worst scenario he finds himself in is showing up to the Electoral College with the "legitimate" Electors while Gore shows up with the "partisan, hypocritical, anti-American" Electors.

Book it.

Also, check out the latest from Democracy's good friend Jerry Politex, who posted the following information in blue on his Bush Watch. (Someday, Jerry will get the Congressional Medal of Freedom, if I have anything to say about it.)


WHO'S WHO IN THE BUSH FLORIDA THUG MOB


1. Tom Pyle, policy analyst, office of House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Tex.).
2. Garry Malphrus, majority chief counsel and staff director, House Judiciary subcommittee on criminal justice.
3. Rory Cooper, political division staff member at the National Republican Congressional Committee.
4. Kevin Smith, former House Republican conference analyst and more recently of Voter.com.
5. Steven Brophy, former aide to Sen. Fred D. Thompson (R-Tenn.), now working at the consulting firm KPMG.
6. Matt Schlapp, former chief of staff for Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-Kan.), now on the Bush campaign staff in Austin.
7. Roger Morse, aide to Rep. Van Hilleary (R-Tenn.).
8. Duane Gibson, aide to Chairman Don Young (R-Alaska) of the House Resources Committee.
9. Chuck Royal, legislative assistant to Rep. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.).
10. Layna McConkey, former legislative assistant to former Rep. Jim Ross Lightfoot (R-Iowa), now at Steelman Health Strategies. (see below)

WHO IS DEBORAH STEELMAN?. Bush's major health care adviser until around the time she was discussed in print in relation to a California U.S. congressman on a health committee is a lobbyist for the health care industry. Ms. Steelman earns a living as a Washington insider, a lobbyist representing the interests of Cigna, Pfizer, Aetna, United Healthcare Corporation, the Healthcare Leadership Council, and Prudential. Her interests dovetail nicely with Bush's, since he has received maximum campaign contributions from many executives at Prudential, Cigna, and Aetna, and he has many close friends with close financial ties to the Health Care industry, such as Richard Rainwater, his billionaire friend and number one financial mentor.

Steelman identified herself as his "senior advisor" on the five member Bush dream team. In a story in the Albion Monitor, Jeremy Breningstal describes the other members: "The team is composed of John Goodman, from the National Center for Policy Analysis, a conservative think tank; R. Glenn Hubbard, a market-leaning economics professor at Columbia University; Donald Moran, president of a health care consulting group, Timothy Muris, a law professor and recently a consultant for Aetna in an anti-trust case; and William Roper, senior vice president at Prudential HealthCare before becoming dean of the School of Public Health at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. None are practicing physicians or consumer advocates, and their philosophy is decidedly not patient-oriented."

Steelman chaired a Medicaid committee for Poppy during his presidential tenure. Even then, consumer groups chided her selection because she so clearly favored the industry over the consumer. As one GOP observer recently said about a report she made to the House Republican Conference, she was like, "the NRA coming in and writing gun legislation, except with her there was no disclosure." Breningstal: "Bush is staying miles away from any sweeping reform of the health care industry, and the needs of 45 million uninsured Americans -- a number expected to rise to as high as 60 million in the next decade." ---Politex, 12/7/00

THE FREE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES
SALUTE THE HEROIC EFFORTS OF STEVE KIRSCH!



Infoseek founder Steve Kirsh, Silicon Valley’s biggest philanthropist and a registered Republican, has been picking up the bills for pro-Gore lawyers unable to work pro bono. Why would a card carrying Republican do such a thing? Because Kirsch believes that, unlike Smirk, Gore would be a great President and, also unlike Smirk, that Gore won Florida.
Steve Kirsch - - restoring our faith in the GOP!




Smirk says: "This is my bestest friend ever, Jimmy. Jimmy showed me how to play Donkey Kong. Jimmy showed me how to watch Pokemon cartoons on the computer! Jimmy showed me how to make a secure online contribution to the Gore-Lieberman Recount Committee. Jimmy said if that dumb Gore guy and that dumb Lieberman guy get enough money, I will never have to do any of the really hard President stuff, like uniting the country and restoring faith in honest elections. I told Jimmy to give two million dollars. That sounds like a lot, but it was Jebbie's Visa card."
