There is no longer any question that the Bush
Regime is going to cheat the living daylights out of the presidential
election this November. Their vast armada of swift boats for cooked
votes is moving on a number of fronts, including minority
disenfranchisement, armed intimidation and their electronic ace in the
hole: paperless, unrecountable computer voting machines that have been
designed, tested and "officially certified" in secret by private firms
controlled by fierce Bush partisans. In fact, there are only two
questions still up in the air concerning the election. First, will this
unprecedented corruption of America's already notoriously corrupt
electoral process be enough to counter the public's growing revulsion
at the little pretzel-gagging tyrant perched so precariously on his
appointed throne? (Bush's approval rating is now an abysmal 39 percent,
the Economist reports.) And second, will the Bushists ultimately resort
to open violence to maintain their lock on power -- and their immunity
from prosecution for an ungodly number of war crimes and other assorted
felonies?
