THE ELECTION FRAUD IS SO DEEP ACROSS AMERICA--DO BOTH SIDES FEAR THE CROW BAR HOTEL? THE FLORIDA JUDGE BLINKS, PASSES THE BUCK AND GOES BACK TO WRITING NOVELS.
Florida Sec. of State Katherine Harris, who has been quoted as saying that she is "passionately interested" in a federal post in a Bush government, said this evening that all 67 counties have reported in by the 5 p.m. deadline, and Bush leads Gore by 300 votes. Other than the overseas votes which face a Friday deadline, the votes outstanding are in Palm Beach, Miami-Dade, and Broward counties, where hand counts are going forward or are under litigation. Harris, who also campaigned with Jeb Bush in New Hampshire for the candidacy of George W. Bush, said that those three counties must send her a request to have such additional votes accepted by 2 p.m. tomorrow. As has been the case in the last few days, it appears that the Bush strategy is to tie these counties up in legal maneuvering in order to halt, slow down, and discourage the hand count. For example, yesterday Harris told Palm Beach County that it could not count the votes by hand because the machines used in the machine count were functioning properly. Although the Attorney General of Florida disagreed with Harris, Palm Beach was advised to get a legal opinion from the Florida Supreme Court. This halted hand counting for another day, and Palm Beach has yet to have received word when the Supreme Court will meet to decide who is right. Under those circumstances, the demand by Harris that Palm Beach send her a letter in writing explaining why they need more time is disingenuous, at best. --Politex, 11/13/00
"At least three of the Southern strategists who helped Gov. George W. Bush score his ugly South Carolina primary win against Arizona Sen. John McCain have been dispatched to Florida to help Bush in his legal and political wrangling for the Sunshine State's 25 electoral votes. "When the going gets tough for Governor Bush, he turns to the darker side of our party," says one senior McCain advisor. "We saw that in South Carolina, and we see that today." --Jake Tapper
Posing As President?

Did you ever fantasize that you were US President, "the most powerful man
in the world"?
Posing with his aides, the so-called "best minds in America", GW Bush
looks about as presidential as if he'd won the nation's highest office on a game
show. "I'm here to pick up my prize", he seems to be saying, "I
think I've got the winning numbers!" In terms of projecting authority,
competence or intelligence he is the least impressive man in modern times to run
for President.
Grinning sheepishly from the dining room of the Texas Governor's mansion or from
his dude ranch, Bush-who looks more like Alfred E Newman each day-seems barely
able to recall his own name let alone the rehearsed answers to reporters'
questions. Like a chronic marijuana smoker he leaves half-finished sentences
suspended in midair uncertain of what his point was and seems inordinately proud
when he manages
to correctly enunciate a multi-syllable word like, responsibility. If Bush
actually prevails in what can euphemistically be called the 2000 Presidential
election, he will give a whole new meaning to the term, lame duck President.
Most cartoon characters has far more credibility.
Whatever Al Gore's many flaws and shortcomings are there is no question he knows
how to project the image of a serious, knowledgeable and responsible chief
executive-which is in fact a large part of the job of President. To suggest that
Gore-who
apparently won this election-should step aside so that Bush can assume the
Presidency is like a late-night television parody of the worst aspects of
affirmative action.
Those media pundits and politicians who are demanding that Gore step aside in
order to protect democracy cannot be taken seriously. Like the Fox News
executive, John Ellis, who made the mainstream media's earliest decision to
broadcast that Bush
had won the election before the votes were even counted-and who just happens to
be GW's first cousin-these people are doing nothing more or less than following
orders. It is not Mr. Gore's Presidency to pass off to another player as if this
was a touch football game. The election and the position of President belong to
the American people not to the television networks.
And speaking of the television networks, according to a series of articles at http://www.votescam.com/stolen.html
and the Washington Post 11/13/2000

the national tabulation of votes is done not by a government agency, not by a
panel of Democratic and Republican officials but by a private media conglomerate
in NYC-Voter News Services (VNS)-owned and operated by the CIA controlled
television networks and the establishment print media. No wonder they know the
exact count of votes throughout the election process and can make so-called
"projections". For all
we know Pat Buchanan may have won the election.
What these experts in propaganda and disinformation are really saying is that we
must not open this election up to scrutiny because the resulting stench would
implicate thousands of government officials and media big shots. The emerging
criminality of the election process in Florida-now including thousands of Black
and elderly Jewish voters being given pre-marked ballots-will, if it is ever
seriously investigated, result in a lot of respectable people going away to a
Federal prison and to a total revamping of the election process. The only system
that would be relatively free of this kind of vote
fixing is a standardized paper ballot hand-signed by each voter and made
available to anyone who wants to examine it.
Florida is just one of fifty States where a wide variety of so-called voting
irregularities take place in each election. While the irregularities that are in
the spotlight right now seem to point to the Republicans as the culprits it is
likely that both parties tampered with the vote in various ways throughout the
U.S.
My experience for the past eight years in Brooklyn NY is that in every election
I'm told at my local voting station, "Sorry, you're not registered
here". This is patiently explained to me by an entire team of election
workers who after diligently searching their records have the book of registered
voters open to the exact page with my name on it-which is clearly visible to me
despite being upside down and across a table. When I persist and ask them to
look again-or point it out myself-they giggle and say, "Oh yes, here it
is!" How many less persistent, non English-speaking, elderly or
authority-intimidated voters
are given this same run around and just meekly walk away one can only guess.
The damage is already done. No one who is paying the slightest attention to this
election could possibly believe it was fair at this point. The only way to even
partially redeem the process-and the Presidency-is to have a full recount and a
meticulous examination of the ballots.
I'll accept a Bush Presidency if he actually won it. I'll accept a Gore
Presidency if he actually won it. What I won't accept is a fake result from a
phony election no matter who won it.
