GOP Working Hard To Keep The Vote White:
"This is a fact: On November 2, 2004, in the State of Ohio, 239,127 votes for President of the United States were dumped, rejected, blocked, lost and left to rot uncounted.  And not just anyone's vote. Dive into the electoral dumpster and these "spoiled" votes have a very dark color indeed.  In another life, I taught statistics. And these statistics stank: the raw data tells us that if you are a Black voter, the chance of you losing your vote to technical errors in voting machinery is 900% higher than if you were a white voter ... Two million ballots were cast but not counted in the 2000 race. (Over half, 54%, were cast by African-Americans.) In 2004, the GOP kicked it up to THREE million. Get ready, these guys aim high: 'four in '06' and 'five in '08' looks to be their game plan."

Justice Department wants information linking those online to the Internet addresses assigned to personal computers.

Rampant Cesspool Of Lies:
"... the cesspool of lies, secrecy, corruption and overspending is so rampant in Republican-run Washington that nobody has a clue about the real state of our fiscal affairs ... Republican congressional lawmakers and leaders are making vital decisions, involving far-reaching policies and billions of dollars, without the public -- or even congressional Democrats -- present ... an entire culture in the Bush administration and its enabling Republican Congress that refuses to come clean in any forum on price tags - or anything else ..."

Probe Of GOP Bribery & Corruption Widens:
"Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA), Chairman of the House Appropriations committee, is now under criminal investigation as part of the expanded Duke Cunningham probe ... one of Lewis' key staffers-turned-lobbyists, Letitia White ... too has become a focus of investigators. She left Lewis' employ to go work for Congressman-turned-lobbyist Bill Lowery, who's deep into the Brent Wilkes-Duke Cunningham-nogoodnik network."

Southern Greens Plan Major Impeachment Rally:
"Is Bush’s impeachment assured? We Greens don’t believe the question is one of likely success, but of what the Constitution demands. When the President and his cohorts break the most fundamental laws of our nation, the very Constitution itself, questions of success or failure are irrelevant. Either we stand for and by the Constitution or we give up on the idea ..."
