GORE CRANKS UP FIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE; THE POWERFUL GET SNIPPY
(On The Barricades/Reuters)

In it's wildly successful battle to capture the hearts and minds of the America people, the Bush/Cheney camp unveiled their new logo today.
As Corporate media attack Chihuahuas mindlessly parrot "God this is taking like FOREVER" (the GOP’s weakest spin point in the entire election, which is saying one Hell of a lot) at an American public too interested in justice to get its collective underwear in a bunch, the real story goes unreported on this side of the pond, as usual.

But our dear cousins have the real scoop, as they did on D. Dubya’s launching a teensy-weensy little Middle Eastern war, just so Arab Americans in Michigan would have a reason to defect from Gore. But - - OOPS!! - - even with Ralph W. NaderBush in the mix, Smirk didn't take Michigan after all! Oh, well. No use crying over spilled milk. And the outrage of the day is:

Gore camp demands FBI inquiry

FROM DANIEL MCGRORY IN MIAMI

THE FBI is being asked to investigate how thousands of mainly black supporters of Al Gore were given ballot papers that had allegedly already been marked for rival candidates.

Yesterday Democrat officials were examining claims that up to 17,000 ballot papers in the Miami area had been tampered with in what they described as "organized corruption". Lawyers from across the United States descended on Miami and were busy taking statements from those complaining that they had been cheated or intimidated out of voting for Mr Gore.

A senior Democrat official in Miami, who has hired a team of 20 investigators to carry out an inquiry, told The Times: "Until now in Florida, we have been arguing foul-ups, human error and stupidity. But this is deliberate corruption to spoil votes for Gore and that must be a matter for the FBI.

"We don’t want to be seen as playing the race card here, but the areas where this happened are in poorer precincts, which are predominantly black areas that would be expected to vote almost unanimously for Vice-President Gore. We are not accusing the Republican Party or any other ethnic groups for being behind this. All we are saying is the vote was corrupted. There are just too many double-punched papers."

Jewish leaders in staunch Democrat areas of the city claimed that they, too, had evidence of voting slips being marked before they reached polling stations in areas populated by retired Jewish couples. At a rally in a Miami synagogue, Lisa Versaci, Florida director of People for the American Way, said: "There can be no innocent explanation for a pre-punched ballot sheet."

Republican leaders in Miami dismissed the allegations as "dirty-trick claims". A spokesman said: "A spoiled ballot is not uncommon. There is no dark plot here."


Yeah, right.

The People's POTUS Elect attended Church with his family on Sunday. The GOP immediately cried foul, claiming that God was on the Vice President's side way too much already.
According to a Miami Bush Watcher, who wrote into Jerry Politex (who ought to be given the Congressional medal of Honor or something):

"Here's the thing. There are 7900 disqualified ballots because of double punching in Broward county, where 560K votes were cast -- but 18000 disqualified double punched ballots in Dade where about 640K votes were cast and 19000 disqualified votes in Palm Beach, where about 400K votes were cast. Strange? I think more than strange."

Whether these allegations of massive voter fraud are true or not, they are certainly the most explosive charge of the entire Florida election story. But what are we hearing from our esteemed corporate media? That Bob Dole is threatening to organize a boycott of Gore’s inauguration if the Vice President doesn’t concede the election now.

I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but if Bob Dole ain’t gonna be at Gore’s inauguration, I ain’t goin’. I don’t think Gore should bother to show up either. I mean, what a bummer!



IN HONOR OF SMIRK LIVING UP TO HIS PROMISE
TO BE A UNITER, NOT A DIVIDER,
THE GREAT STATE OF JEBLAND
HAS REVISED IT’S OFFICAL ANTHEM!


This is an interactive page! Sing along to the tune of "The Chiquita Banana Song"!


I know I’ve been less that jovial lately, but a Smirk coup attempt made possible by the systematic disenfranchisement of our poorest citizens pisses me off. I suggest very strongly that you email and call the mega-weasels in the Corporate press (click here to read these overpaid rat bastards whine about having to cover this unbelievably historic election) and demand:

1.) To know why they aren’t covering the allegations of massive voter fraud in Miami. They broadcast the Republicans' charge that there was "massive" voter fraud in Wisconsin, so it’s not like they’re afraid to cast doubt on the integrity of the electoral process. The charge appeared in the London Times, not some local paper or Internet site. Well CNN????

2.) To know why they are not letting people know that the Republicans are going to court to stop ballot hand counts, claiming they are "less accurate" and "more partisan" when a.) at least one heavily Republican county, Seminole county, used hand counts during the state mandated MACHINE recount of votes, to Bush’s definite advantage b.) hand counts cannot be partisan because the Bush and Gore representatives are present to make sure they are fair and accurate, are the Republicans saying their own people can’t be trusted to look after Bush’s interests?? and c.) As Governor, George W. Bush signed a bill into law states a hand count is MORE accurate than a machine count. Here is the relevant section: "(d) If different counting methods are chosen under Section 214.042(a) among multiple requests for a recount of electronic voting system results, only one method may be used in the recount. A manual recount shall be conducted in preference to an electronic recount and an electronic recount using a corrected program shall be conducted in preference to an electronic recount."

3.) That they back off the "Gore should concede now" crap. First of all, I can’t imagine anything more un-American than to insist counting ALL the votes cast slows down Democracy. But secondly, given GOP’s insistence that the election should be over now, before all the votes are counted, isn’t it kind of funny that Florida Election Commissioner Bob Crawford has stated he will not accept any votes counted after the state’s deadline of 5 p.m. Tuesday. This deadline is not MANDATED by law, it is OPTIONAL. Even if there were NO allegations of fraud, the hand counts are not going to take longer than the deadline to count the overseas ballots, November 17th. And - - HEL-LO??? - - isn’t this election important enough to get right?? (Here is the relevant section from the Bush Watch: Commissioner Crawford is referring to Florida Statutes Section 102.112, which does permit the Department of State to disregard a County's votes if the results are not submitted to the Secretary of State within 7 days. However, it should be noted that this Statute does not require the secretary of state to take this action, it only allows it. The relevant language reads as follows: "Returns must be filed by 5 p.m. on the 7th day following the first primary and general election and by 3 p.m. on the 3rd day following the second primary. If the returns are not received by the department by the time specified, such returns may be ignored and the results on file at that time may be certified by the department.")

Also, Florida is only one of several states that has not completed counting their votes, and no one knows if these other states will need a recount or not. The final results of the election may not be known until January 8th, 2001.

Hop on the Banana mail express!
Email the America's favorite Banana Republicans,
the Bush Brothers!

Email Smirk! If you haven’t visited the Governor’s homepage at the Texas State site, you should! It’s full of extremely informative information about the State of Texas, such as the fact that Governor Bush is known as a Compassionate Conservative. There are also extremely informative images of Texas, such as Governor Bush with adorning ethnic children and his adoring non-ethnic wife, Mrs. Texas Governor George W. Bush. It also contains fun, fascinating facts about Capital Punishment!

But best of all - - you can Email Smirk!

I’m sure Governor Bush would love to hear your opinion on a wide range of subjects - - especially about his attempted coup. Volunteer to invade Poland for him! Invite him to speak at your next Bund rally! The possibilities are as endless as the Texas sky.


Email John Ellis Bush (aka JEB)! Unlike that evil carpetbagger, Hillary Clinton, John Ellis Bush is as Florida as they come, invading the state in 1981. Undoubtedly the brains behind the Bush Brothers’ Banana Hall Putsch, redneck wannabe John Ellis has got what it takes to be passed over for the Presidency in favor of his drunken, moronic brother, Smirk. While you Email Jeb, be sure to sing Florida’s official anthem! (The revised lyrics are provided above.)


SMIRK’S TRYING TO FIX THE FLORIDA ELECTION
SMIRK’S TRYING TO STEAL
THE BIG COMMANDER-IN-CHEIF HAT
FROM THE PRESIDENT YOU CHOSE
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT SMIRK?

Saturday, November 11th. Vice President Gore waves to supporters as he, his wife Tipper, running mate Senator Joeseph Lieberman and Lieberman's wife Haddassah attend a showing of the film "Men Of Honor". 'Nuff said.
NEW Pro-Democracy protests are being held all across America at 1 p.m., next Saturday, November 18th, to protest Smirk’s fuzzy vote count in Florida and his bogus claim that he won the Presidency already so we don’t need to see if anybody’s civil rights were violated in Florida. Click here for a list of cities and their protest locations.

Write, phone or email your Senators and Congressional Representatives -- tell them how you feel about the Florida election and what you think needs to be done to pick the next President! Especially if they are Republicans, let them know how you feel about Smirk’s claim to the Presidency! Let them know how you feel about the way Jeb runs Florida's elections!

Al’s back in DC, on the job! Email the People’s POTUS Elect and tell him how you feel about his fight against Florida’s vote fraud and civil rights abuses! Get specific! It’s Al!

Why has the fifth column in the fourth estate insisted that Al concede an election that isn’t over - - especially one so obviously rotten with voter fraud? Give those weasels a piece of your mind!
