In case you missed it: They're lying us to war again

So this week the Bush administration showed video footage of Iranian speedboats racing around 2 US warships in the Persian Golf (in international waters). They played the video, which showed the boats zooming around, and had audio of some of the radio communication. The voice, (supposedly coming from the speed boats), said: “I am coming to you. … You will explode after … minutes.” The only problem is, it wasn't from the speedboats, and it was dubbed over the video footage.

I won't go in depth on it, but you can check out this blog on it (from New York Times).

Again, Bush and his Administration are fabricating evidence to rile up the American people for war with Iran. Don't believe ANYTHING that comes from these people... We don't want another pointless war!

Diebold (Premier) controls vote count in NH Primary

I just read this blog which tells about Premier (formerly Diebold), running the eVoting machines in New Hampshire. Diebold is the company that has gotten in trouble numerous times over voting machines that can be easily hacked to return bad results. Watch this clip from Democracy Now! And of course the actual testimony of a computer programmer who wrote a program for a Republican to hack the voting machine. Scary stuff!

Now why would anyone want to steal a primary election? Well, whoever did it in the past might be inclined to make sure that a certain candidate wins this time, to further promote their agenda. Or perhaps to make sure certain candidates (Ron Paul) don't win. Or maybe to make other candidates (Hillary) have a surprise victory, to ensure that Republicans have a candidate they can beat..

I'm not saying this is gonna happen.. But look for exit poll numbers which are way off from the actual results. That's a sure sign.. And of course, watch out in November....

Obama surges! Paul gains!

It's been an exciting week! From the Iowa caucuses: Obama destroyed Clinton and Edwards. Since that time, it's become readily apparent that the Democratic ticket is likely to be Obama/Edwards. Edwards has become the attack wing for Obama. He's taken her on directly in attacks that have hurt her, while leaving Obama still relatively clean. They both talk about removing the lifers from Washington politics and changing the system that is broken. It couldn't be any more apparent.

Now New Hampshire: Obama surges past Clinton! Clinton cires. As always happens when you attack, Edwards goes down with Clinton. But I'm sure he's happy to be the VP on a winning ticket this time.

Go Obama!!

And on the Ron Paul side, Ron Paul takes 10% in Iowa, ahead of Guiliani, who had only 3%. Yet Fox still excludes him from their debate. No worries, Paul just buys an hour of airtime right before the debates! haha.. go suck on that Faux News!

Go Ron Paul!

So if you're a Democrat, vote Obama! And if you're a Republican, vote Ron Paul! And if you're an independent, go google/youtube Obama and Paul, and figure out who you like best.
