Well considering who is in office and calling all the shots, I'd say that Diebold has breached its contract with the Republicans.  Either that or they took money from both sides with the highest bidder (say, didn't that Obama guy have a billion dollar campaign fund ?) getting the right counts.

Exactly. And they wont let anyone inspect their software. Hey, give or take a few million votes here and there, who cares? Just as long as they go to the Republican candidates  all is well.

Every human is guilty of lies and hypocrisy. But the Republicans have mastered it to an artform. How else could they get so many votes from the middle class when they really represent the interests of the wealthy top 2%??

Exactly! How do you know when a politician is lying? When his lips are moving. 

What's up with that Glenn Beck guy? I mean he has always been more than a little off; I occasionally caught his shows when they had our TV at my old job locked down to news channels and he was the only thing I could be entertained by on Saturday nights. I used to think; wow, what a fruitcake, he funny. Now, it's like................

Just an observation...

This thread was obviously started by a partisan shill, implying that Republicans have a monopoly on lying and hypocrisy is quite an exercise in delusion.

Just an observation.

Its really quite simple. Ultimately and historically, the Republicans exist to  represent the interests of the very wealthy and Big business.  The Democrats historically represent the interests of the midddle and lower classes and Small business.  

Almost every social advance in this country has been legislated by the Democrats and OPPOSED by the Republicans.  Unfortunately, the Big corporations with all their incredible accumulated wealth have succeeded more and more in heavily influencing the Democrats as well. The Blue Dog or Corporate Democrats especially.  Even the Progressive Democrats arent immune to   corporate donations.  Independent Bernie Sanders is the only true Progressive left.

Well, it's much easier to voice a conservative direction than a progressive one. The conservative view, typically, has to do with maintenance of the status quo - which is visible and definable.

Progressive views, however, envision many different futures. Therefore, although there is agreement that change is important, that the status quo is not the best of all possible worlds, the members of the progressive movement are then faced with the difficult task of getting agreement about which alternate future they want to advocate for. And then it falls apart...

(aside: Can you folks figure out a way to have a discussion without name calling either the posters or the politicians? It is so high school, and I don't listen to any argument you have to make once I see that crap, figuring that if you had a legitimate point, you'd simply make it.)

What the Republicans dont realize is that not all Democrats march to the beat of somebody like Limbaugh.   If they step out of line 50 million Republican Dittoheads will learrn about it the next day! How many Republicans have had to actually apologize to master Limbaugh? Repubs also have their corporate masters who are even more ruthless.

 Getting Democrats to agree on something is like herding cats as they ssay. You got your sellout  Blue Dog Corporate Dems like Clinton and your  Progressive "We the People" Democrats like Feingold.  I would say the Gingrich revolution was a reigniton of the Reagan Revolution but in overdrive. 

 I wanted cheese corn.
