VOTE 8 NOV, BUT CUT THE DECK

W. C. FIELDS said to trust everybody, but always cut the deck.

It has been my observation that in most countries, especially this one, the political equivalent of Republicans control the equivalent of the counties.

Battle of Hastings, 1066: Look at the rewards for successfully winning.

The king paid off the generals with land and title. The responsibility of tribute was laid to the counties--places where things are counted. What is counted must be collected--taxes.

The Magna Carta created another countable--votes.

Fast-forward to 2000--guess who is counting. Tom DeLay. The census?

Zip to 2004--the count is tallied by the death of a thousand cut votes.

Morph to next Tuesday--what do you expect? I expect more fraud.

For instance, a friend who is blind called the county for a mail-in ballot. He was told, "Sorry, you're voting the wrong party--click".

The Primary System which declares party preferences gives the bean counters a statistical advantage--preclusion as well as exclusion of the opposition.

Watch out when you vote--vote in person and don't let them see your party registration.

Remember the old Dixiecrats? Well, just say that when rats abandon a sinking ship, they jump to a pirate schooner.

Watch your back, don't trust recycled bigots, plus cut the deck, and scream rape.

You have been raped.
