Judge Says He Believes the Conspiracy Goes Higher... yet this story isn't getting any mainstream coverage. The corporate media who is in bed with the corrupt Washington culture doesn't want this to be a widespread story. For their brainwashing tactics and non-reporting of key issues to work, we have to remain stupid.

When Obama, the dinner’s last speaker, took the stage the crowd surged forward chanting “O-bam-a” and “Fired Up, Ready to Go!” Hillary Clinton, by contrast, was booed by the crowd twice.

After two straight presidential elections with widespread election fraud, states have started to take a closer look at the electronic voting machines.
A sampling of complaints in the 2004 election included more votes cast than citizens in precincts in Florida and Arkansas, voting results on the machines before voting began in Philadelphia, votes cast for John Kerry in Ohio registering instead for George W. Bush, and large numbers of blank, completed ballots in heavily-Democratic precincts in Florida.
The conclusions the states have reached, to the dismay of companies that manufacture the machines such as Diebold and ES&S, who each have heavy Republican ties, haven't been good.
Yesterday the Attorney General of Ohio ruled that residents of that state will be allowed to vote by paper ballots if they so choose during the March primary, because the state cannot guarantee any vote on an electronic voting machine will be counted correctly. This caused an immediete uproar by the Republican Party, who has likely spent the last 4 years fine tuning how to steal an election.
Today the other shoe dropped when Colorado announced they are considering a paper ballot only election with no local polling places. Residents there would send their ballots in through the mail. The problem with that plan is that the ballots received would then be counted by the same, easily hacked, electronic voting machines proven to be unsecure in dozens of tests around the nation. A spokesperson for Bill Ritter Jr., the Democratic governor of Colorado, said the electronic voting machines used to count the paper ballots would need to be proven to be secure before the plan is green lighted.
Ohio and Colorado are not the only states making changes. California became the first state to require electronic voting machines to provide a paper record of every vote cast for manual audits, and that machines confirm to the voter, before the final vote is counted, whom they are voting for. As of 2007, 26 additional states have followed California's lead.
The histories of the companies themselves raise suspicion. Walden O'Dell, the CEO of Diebold, publicly promised he would deliver the state of Ohio to George W. Bush before the 2004 election. Never mind that he was CEO of a company who's machines counted the votes (see the note above about votes for Kerry registering for Bush in, wow, of all places, Ohio).
Election Systems & Software, ES&S for short, the other major manufacturer of electronic voting machines in the U.S. have their own history of nefarious ties to the Republican Party. Nebraska Republican Chuck Hagel, who first ran for U.S. Senator in 1996, failed to declare that he was the chairman of ES&S, then known as AIS, while their machines counted votes for him in statewide elections. 85% of the votes cast in Hagel's elections in 1996 and 2002 were on ES&S machines.
Machines made by ES&S and Diebold accounted for almost 80% of all votes cast in the 2004 presidential election.
Before I launch a rant about Mr. Obama, let me preface it by saying I live in the Chicago suburbs where Mr. Obama is from. As such, I see him on television more than the average American who doesn't live in the Chicago area. I read his editorials in the Chicago newspapers and try to keep up with the local coverage of what is going on.
Thursday was a big day for Mr. Obama, winning convincingly in Iowa. For a black man who's middle name is Hussein to win in a state that is 95% white is amazing. But there's a simple reason he won. People want change. Even most conservative Republicans realize you can only burn a country to the ground for so long before there's nothing left of value. So they want change, too. Hence, they voted for Mike Huckabee.
Obama and Huckabee have something in common: they keep saying we need change, we need change, we need change. Then they say, and Obama really digs into this, that we need to hope for a better future. But they aren't finishing the sentence. How's that old saying go? Hope for a better future in one hand and crap in the other and see which fills up first? That's all we're left with, is hope. And at this point, after listening to Obama and Huckabee, hope isn't the hand we're getting, because they aren't revealing how they will change things. They claim they would be fresh faces in Washington, but in reality they're the same ugly mugs we've grown tired off, only cleaned up and covered in fresh makeup. They have no plans, only sweet nothings to whisper in our ears.
While Huckabee comes off as a creepy sort who just looks like he's lying, Obama is a relatively likable guy. He's definitely become more polished since he burst on the scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention. The problem is, he has no message. Don't get me wrong, he has perfected a speech in the last couple of months, in an attempt to sound like he has a message. But it's hollow. "Hope." "Hope for change." "Vote for me and hope for change." "Are you ready?" "Let's change the world!" Never mind that he doesn't get into what he wants to change, or how he is going to do it. I really want to like this guy. I'd love to support him. Local guy makes good. It's a warm and fuzzy story just waiting to happen. But he doesn't give any reason to actually expect things with be different with him. He backtracks on issues, when he actually admits to having a stance. For example, when Don Imus insulted the women's basketball team, Obama wouldn't even say what Imus said was stupid, offensive, etc. He jumped on the bandwagon long after the train had left the station. I think the best parallel I can give is that W. hesitates when he speaks because he's waiting for Karl Rove to tell him what to say, but Obama hesitates because he's waiting for someone else to write his policy.
Yet their competition is even worse. Hillary keeps repeating her catch phrase of "change" over and over, hoping it sticks somewhere. The problem is, unless you're brain dead, all you have to do to know she's not buying into it is listen to her. Watch her. She's lying through her teeth. She's a third-rate actor in an Ed Wood film that can't even deliver her lines without revealing her disgust for the script. I can't buy into what she's selling. I can't buy into her claim that her motivation is to help our country. She's just another lying whore trying to get into the oval office. No disrespect to women intended, because her male counterparts are every bit the whores as well. They all say what they think we want to hear, and then top off their campaigns with "who is the bigger asshole," a game which had it's moment of Nirvana earlier this week when Huckabee called a press conference to say he wasn't going to run his new commercial attacking Romney because it was too negative, and then he proceeded to play the commercial for the gathered media. We can't confirm that Huckabee claimed Romney chokes a dozen kittens every morning before breakfast, or that he participates in Satanic orgies the third Wednesday of every month, but Romney has admitted to strapping his family dog to the roof of his car and taking 12 hour drives on the interstate.
Lost amid the finger pointing and hope wishing is that the candidates carefully avoid the land mines of actual issues and plans. Nobody wants to actually accomplish anything, they just want the fame and fortune of being President and lining the pockets of their friends, like W. has spent 8 years perfecting.
Insurance for poor kids? Screw that! Let's give my friends at Halliburton hundreds of millions of dollars to not do anything instead! What's that? You can't afford health insurance? Well, have we got a fine for you! You'll learn your lesson sooner or later. Work, spend, repeat. Don't ask questions. Don't pay attention. Just move along.
Don't mind me, I'm just a little pissed that the only candidates who are actually talking about sensible, concrete change for the better (Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich) didn't fare so well.
There have always been two sets of rules. One for the rich, and one for the rest of us. I'm just having a problem because the rules were never left out for everyone to see like they are now. It's kind of like public fornication, only not only are we watching what is going on, we're also the ones getting...
Thanks to Mitt Romney and other asswipes, uninsured citizens in Massachusetts now face monthly fines for not being able to afford insurance. The fines can reach up to $76 per month, EVERY month, and are due with your 2008 tax returns. And married couples will be fined individually, so not being able to afford insurance will cost couples up to $1824 per year, in addition to your taxes.
Romney quietly signed this into law before he tiptoed out of office. Much like W. trying to sneak the Real ID into effect after he leaves office.
Pardon my French, but this is the final straw that shows our society is completely fucked and run by corporations out to rape our country of our resources and every last dime we have. It's no secret corporations control everything now, but what has changed under George W. Bush is that government - not just our federal government but our state and local governments everywhere have stopped trying to hide the corruption. They just do it all right out in the open and nobody seems to care. People are too busy playing with their Wii's and iPod's to do anything about it.
I am one of the millions of Americans who cannot afford healthcare insurance. If the government sent me a monthly bill for not having insurance I would tell them where to stick it. Good luck collecting on this.
It seems to me this law is a secret plan to do several things - 1. Pave the way for national healthcare (by claiming that it would alleviate this new "problem" 2. increase the amount of people in prison since most people who cannot afford insurance also cannot afford to pay fines for not having it, and the states are now making money from the private companies who are buying up our prison systems, and 3. It's just another move to make sure the average joe schmo will never get ahead, just like the laws of the credit card bills being exempt from bankruptcy. We are all slaves. The sooner we admit it, the better. We are meant to be distracted by television and movies, video games, fancy new cell phones that do a million things we don't actually need, etc., but we aren't meant to save money or create our own wealth, hence, the rich pay little to no taxes while the poor and middle class foot the bill. Only the middle class is shrinking at a historic rate thanks to W. and friends exporting our jobs and running the country into the ground.
I'll add a number 4 to this as well - 4. All of the politicians who wrote and signed this piece of shit bill should be...well, you fill in the blank. Perhaps they should be forced to try and run a household or pay the bills when your job is gone and part-time, dead-end, minimum-wage jobs with no benefits are all you can get. There are a lot of Americans hurting right now, and stabbing them in the back with laws like this just shows that these politicians are the biggest piles of shit on the planet.

Democratic Senators Joe Biden and Christopher Dodd announced they are dropping out of the presidential race after their dismal showing in Iowa.
The big wins by Barack Obama and Mike Huckabee in Iowa tonight, after each were trailing the front runners just a few short weeks ago, actually leaves their races in a greater state of chaos than before the caucus.
Obama may be in the better position than Huckabee because Barack is expected to do well in New Hampshire, which is then followed by South Carolina with a large African-American voter base. If Obama can pull off another upset or even stay close to Hillary in New Hampshire, he could set himself up for a win in South Carolina and be on a hard to stop roll. Hillary has historically done well with black voters, and Obama hasn't been very successful at drawing the black vote. However, if he shows he is a viable choice who can win, black voters could have a tough decision between Hillary and Obama. Hillary is going to need to go back to the basics.
Huckabee doesn't have an organized campaign past New Hampshire. New Hampshire is a complete wildcard for the Republican party, where John McCain and Ron Paul are expected to do better than they performed in Iowa. If Huckabee's evangelical Christian role doesn't play well in a heavily Independent state, he could be in major trouble. And as crusty Republican blow-hard William Bennett pointed out on CNN tonight, other Christian evangelical candidates have done well early on and then fallen fast. So this doesn't mean Huckabee, or even Obama, are going to be on the final ballot.
As for other candidates, John Edwards reportedly bet all his marbles on Iowa, where he emptied out his small campaign fund in a win-or-die campaign. Despite a strong showing, it might not be enough to keep him going long, especially if he does poorly in N.H. or S.C.
Hillary's campaign tried all week to spin her likely defeat as unsurprising and no big deal. But it might have opened the door for Obama too far. Time will tell.
The analysts are close to declaring Mitt Romney dead, and say he has to do well in New Hampshire, but that is unlikely. They are quick to point to his negative campaigning as a major issue against him.
Giuliani has dropped again from 11% to 4% and was passed by Ron Paul in Iowa. Giuliani is already spinning this by claiming he is only campaigning in states he can win. There just isn't a Republican that most people can support.
One name that hasn't been mentioned tonight is Dennis Kucinich. His anti-war stance should play better in New Hampshire, but drawing less than 1% of the vote in Iowa is a bitter pill to swallow and once again rules him out.
Bill Richardson, Joe Biden, and the other Democratic candidates didn't fare well. They may hang around for a while, but realistically it's down to a two horse race. Obama and Hillary will shoot it out, unless Edwards can come up with enough money to keep going.
Huckabee/Romney/McCain/Giuliani are all still in the race, with Thompson perhaps on the fringe (amid rumors on CNN he's about to drop out). However, a poor performance by any of them in New Hampshire could be a fatal blow to their campaigns.
And that leaves us with Ron Paul. He could yet still be a spoiler. One thing to keep in mind with Ron Paul - like John Edwards who bet the farm on Iowa, Ron Paul has bet it all on New Hampshire (and to a lesser extent Iowa). What happens in South Carolina and other states is anyone's guess, but the amount of money and time spent in those other states are tiny. Ron Paul needed to get off to a great start to have a chance. He did well tonight, but probably not well enough to make a real difference.
Still, it seems like the Republican party is waiting for someone to step up and take the reigns. It has to be more than a little embarrassing that after 8 years of being in total power that the party cannot come up with better candidates than this. Then again, how many times have the Democrats shot themselves in the foot in the past 8 years?
In a few days tonight could be meaningless and most American's won't even remember what happened in Iowa, but the real winner tonight appears to be Barack Obama.
One final thought: neither Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, nor George H.W. Bush won in Iowa. Keep that in mind before you rule anyone out this early.
With 74% of the precincts in, Barack Obama has been projected the winner of the Iowa Democratic Caucus. Obama holds 35% of the vote, with John Edwards at 31% and Hillary Clinton also at 31%, although at last count Edwards had 4 more delegates than Hillary so he's in second place.
With 37% of the Democratic precincts reporting, Barack Obama has 33% of the vote while John Edwards and Hillary Clinton each have 32% of the vote. Updates here.
UPDATE: Now with 50% of the precincts in, Obama 34/Edwards 32/Hillary 31%.
UPDATE 2: With 59% in Obama is widening his lead at 35% to Edwards and Hillary's 31% each.
UPDATE 3: With 72% in it's still 35/31/31 Obama/Edwards/Hillary
UPDATE 4: 92% in, 37/30/30. Hillary still a few delegates behind Edwards for 3rd place. Big night for Obama.
CNN has declared Mike Huckabee the winner in the Republican Iowa Caucus(with only 15% of the votes counted). Huckabee currently has 36%, Romney 23%, Thompson 15%, McCain 12%, Paul 11%.
Still Romney and Huckabee are separated by less than 1500 votes, and only 15% of the precincts have reported.
CNN's spin doctors say Romney's poor showing not only hurts his campaign but helps everyone else, especially Rudy Giuliani in New Hampshire. We'll see. I'll update stats as they come in.
Update: with 40% of the Republican precincts in, Huckabee is at 31%, Romney at 23%, Thompson 13/McCain 12/Giuliani 11/Paul 10%. Double digits for Ron Paul is nice, but if he ends up 6th I find it a little disappointing. He'll need to do better in New Hampshire.
UPDATE 2: 72% in, Huckabee 34/Romney 25/Thompson 14/McCain 13/Paul 10/Giuliani 4%. One thing to keep in mind is that Ron Paul was polling 1% in Iowa just a few weeks ago, so to get 10% of the vote is impressive. He should do better on Tuesday in New Hampshire, and he needs to place higher than 5th. Could we see a McCain/Romney/Paul finish on Tuesday?
CNN has some interesting data up, almost 25% of the Democratic voters tonight are 17-29 year olds, and 57% of them are voting for Barack Obama. Older voters in Iowa are backing Hillary Clinton. I'm pulling figures off the TV and do not have specific links to every stat, so bear with me.

The Republican numbers are coming in much faster than the Democratic numbers, mostly because their caucus is straightforward.
Breaking news, CNN projects Mike Huckabee as winning the Iowa Republican Caucus
If you're not an Iowan you are likely unfamiliar and perhaps a bit confused how the Iowa Caucus works, so I did a little research to learn more. Here are a few excerpts from Howstuffworks.com:
"The Republican caucus voting system in Iowa is relatively straightforward: You come in, you vote, typically through secret ballot, and the percentages of the group supporting each candidate decides what delegates will go on to the county convention."
But the Democratic caucus has a completely different set of rules.
"...registered Democrats gather at the precinct meeting places (there are close to 2,000 precincts statewide), supporters for each candidate have a chance to make their case, and then the participants gather into groups supporting particular candidates (undecided voters also cluster into a group). In order for a particular group to be viable, they must have a certain percentage of the all the caucus participants. If they don't have enough people, the group disbands, and its members go to another group. The percentage cut-off is determined by the number of delegates assigned to the precinct."
There's much more to how the delegates are assigned if there are more than one delegate to a precinct, so click this link if you want to know more.
The early word tonight from Iowa is that there is a record turnout, which could mean good news for alternative/lesser known candidates such as Ron Paul, Barack Obama, and John Edwards, to name a few. A few months ago it Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani were the front runners for their respective parties. Today it looks like each could finish in 3rd place or worse. Stay tuned.
Nobody is projecting or even expecting Ron Paul to win in Iowa tonight, but if the final Zogby poll is close to accurate, Ron Paul could force himself into the national spotlight with an upset 3rd place finish.
Follow my logic here. The final Zogby poll from earlier today in Iowa, which shows four days of polls, has Huckabee in the lead on the Republican side with 31%. Romney is holding tight at 25%, but after that it's a 3 way race for 3rd place between Fred Thompson (11%), John McCain (10%), and Ron Paul (10%). Ron Paul could finish third, knocking off McCain and Thompson, and according to John King and Jack Cafferty on CNN, they expect Ron Paul to finish above his poll numbers because he has a lot of independent support which is not the profile of people normally polled. John King also said they expect the highest turnout of independent voters in Iowa ever tonight, which also could be good news for Ron Paul.
Here's how a third place finish would be a victory for Ron Paul: If he finishes third, and Huckabee (or Romney) finishes first, the newspapers will say "Huckabee wins, Ron Paul in 3rd place upset." Romney, or whomever finishes 2nd, would get less media coverage than whomever finishes third. Of course this doesn't work in every scenario, say Ron Paul finishes second, and Romney third, the big story would be Romney falling to third place, and Ron Paul's second place finish might not get as much coverage. The same could be said for the Democratic side if Obama wins, Edwards finishes second, and Hillary comes in 3rd. The media would seize Obama's win and Hillary's fall, squeezing out John Edwards' fine showing with little coverage. Right now it's all about headlines, and it's a delicate game.
As I've said before, a good showing for Ron Paul tonight would bring in more media coverage, more campaign donations, and theoretically more support in the next round of primaries. Everyone wants to write Ron Paul off, but with no clear leader, and major issues with the two front runners, Ron Paul could come out smelling like roses tonight.
So grab yourself some dinner, stay warm, and stay tuned. Tonight is the night we begin to learn if there's more to Ron Paul's story than meets the eye.
In the final Zogby poll released before the Iowa caucuses, Hillary Clinton dipped again in the polls, falling to third place among Democratic candidates. Barack Obama led the results with 31%, John Edwards jumped up to 27% while Hillary Clinton fell to 24%. Other Democratic candidates trailing were Bill Richardson at 7%, Joe Biden at 5%, Christopher Dodd at 1%, Dennis Kucinich at under 1%, and 5% of those polled were undecided.
On the Republican side, Mike Huckabee opened up a 6 point lead over Mitt Romney, 31% to Romney's 25%. Fred Thompson was a distant third at 11%, and in a surprise move Ron Paul jumped up to catch John McCain for fourth place at 10%. Rudy Giuliani brought up the rear with 6%.
Giuliani, by the way, has made statements that he would like Dick Cheney or someone like him to serve as his Vice President if he is elected. Apparently nobody on Giuliani's staff have shown him a newspaper in the last two years, because Cheney's approval rating is lower than Giuliani's 6% support in Iowa. If Giuliani keeps spouting off about how great Dick Cheney is, it should put the final nail in his campaign, which has dropped like a rock in the last two months.
As usual, these polls leave a lot of room for error and have a small sample size of 900 expected voters. We'll find out later tonight the real results.
Here's a fascinating story coming out of Texas tonight:
The Texas Democratic Party said Dennis Kucinich's application was "defective" and removed him from the Democratic primary ballot. On the application, candidates must sign an oath that requires them to support the Democratic nominee, whoever that shall be. Kucinich crossed out that section and said he would sign it only on the condition that the nominee pledge not to use war as a part of foreign relations.
Kucinich has filed a lawsuit asking to be reinstated on the ballot claiming the vow violates the 1st and 14th amendments.

Mike Huckabee professed ignorance about the writer's strike when he crossed a picket line amid chants of "Scab!" by striking writers to appear on Jay Leno Wednesday. Huckabee apparently thought walking across a picket line to play bass guitar on a hack's talk show would be a good thing for his campaign. Why? Is he really that stupid? There's no benefit to him doing this, as the media now is ripping him, rightly so, for doing it. Leno greeted him with his typical phony laugh and hair intentionally dyed to look like a skunk.
Huckabee has openly courted union support during his campaign. This should put a major nail in that coffin. Then there's this:
"The writers guild urged Huckabee not to cross their picket line after he flew out to California. But Huckabee appeared on Leno, even showing off his bass guitar playing with the band.
"Huckabee claims he didn't know," chief union negotiator John Bowman said. "I don't know what that means in terms of trusting him as a future president"...
Huckabee said he supports the writers and did not think he would be crossing a picket line, because he believed the writers had made an agreement to allow late-night shows on the air. But that's not the case with Leno; "Huckabee is a scab," read one picket sign outside Leno's Burbank, Calif., studio."
So Huckabee's defense is that he is too stupid to know what is going on, and none of his staff has the balls to speak up that this is a bad move? Either that or he will come out Thursday and say it's his staff's fault. Either way, Huckabee is a Scab.
The Wilmington News Journal is sponsoring a virtual caucus for the state of Delaware that ends today. Ron Paul is tied with Giuliani for the Republican lead, but Dennis Kucinich has only 12 votes for 1% of the vote on the Democratic side. Hit the link and cast a vote for whomever you support.

Barack Obama replied to Dennis Kucnich asking his supporters to cast a second ballot for Barack Obama in Iowa if they feel Kucinich cannot win. "I have a lot of respect for Congressman Kucinich," said Senator Obama, "and I’m honored that he has done this because we both believe deeply in the need for fundamental change. He and I have been fighting for a number of the same priorities -- including an end to the war in Iraq that we both opposed from the start, reforming Washington.."

Sensing the American public is growing tired of the cast of rejects currently running for President, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's people are leaking that he may in fact make a late addition to the race.
Bloomberg has scheduled a meeting this Sunday with 15 politicians in Oklahoma to discuss the Presidential race. Top aides say Bloomberg believes the public feels there is no true conservative candidate in the race, and Bloomberg, who would run as an Independent and finance his own campaign, would be a better choice.
I have to say that the idea is intriguing, partially because this is a man who is a top notch business executive who didn't need to but jumped into the political world, claiming he felt a need to provide leadership. New Yorkers can debate better than I can whether he has succeeded, but his reputation around the country seems to be good, without any prominent skeletons hanging around.
I would also be interested in hearing more about his policies, how he has enacted them, and what kind of results they have produced. So I ask our New York readers to jump into the comments and give the rest of us a heads up.
If Kucinich and Paul don't have an honest chance to win, based on various factors including not being allowed to debate, then an independent third party candidate could possibly have an instant group of supporters, based on how tired everyone is of the same recycled messages Hillary, Obama, Huckabee, and Romney are making. Bloomberg obviously would pull a lot of voters away from the GOP candidates, but would Kucinich/Paul voters back him or move over to someone else?
I keep waiting for Huckabee to announce he was abducted by a UFO and spent several years on another planet, which would explain a lot.
One of Rudy Giuliani's people was caught on tape making this statement:
"He's got I believe the knowledge and the judgment to attack one of the most difficult problems in current history and that is the rise of the Muslims, and make no mistake about it, this hasn't happened for a thousand years. These people are very, very dedicated and they're also very smart, in their own way. We need to keep the feet to the fire and keep pressing these people until we defeat or chase them back to their caves -- or in other words get rid of them."
So I guess Rudy is running a Mein Kampf style campaign now?
The entire GOP field is an embarrassment, with the exception of Ron Paul, who is not being allowed to even debate on TV in New Hampshire thanks to Fox News.

"Christian" Mike Huckabee says as President he would seek to “find some way to sanction” doctors “who took money to provide abortions to women," thus ignoring the laws of the country set by the Supreme Court and completely disregarding the teachings of the Bible and Jesus to obey your government.
Remember, "Christian" Huckabee also wants to isolate HIV patients until they die (ignoring Jesus' instruction to help the sick and wounded).
Do we really need another lying nutbag in office who claims God talks to him? Haven't we grown weary of this crap with Bush?
UPDATE: This afternoon Huckabee held a press conference to announce he was now "above" dirty campaigning and wouldn't be running a new Anti-Romney TV commercial that he decided was too negative. Then Huckabee proceeded to run the commercial for the media, getting his attack on national news for free without buying air time. Someone asked why he decided to tone down his attacks now, after being the leader in dirty politics. Huckabee said it "is never too late to do what is right." I would have followed that up by asking, "so you admit you haven't been doing the right thing?"

The second half of 2007 saw violence drop dramatically in Iraq, but the progress came at a high price: The year was the deadliest for the U.S. military since the 2003 invasion, with 899 troops killed. Seems there was a bit too much celebration about 'winning' despite the hard facts.
