This sort of intimidation would be loudly condemned, and for that I'm glad I'm here. <BR/><BR/>That is of course not to say that intimidation doesn't happen. The way some of our asylum seekers are treated is horrific (in Scotland I'm glad to say there have been popular protests against the practice of removing people from their homes in dawn raids). But to sway votes in an election - no, I don't think I've ever come across that here, certainly not in my lifetime.<BR/><BR/>I'm so nervous about your election, because there's not one little thing I can do to make a difference from this side of the Pond.

All the other stuff I found was about all the cases from 2006!!! I finally came upon the site I mention here - on about page 3 of my search.<BR/><BR/>kerry - I never read the comments to anything on AOL and many other sites. It's pathetic and often just people looking to rile each other up between beers or waiting for their crack to cook. <BR/>I'll never forget when poor Anna Nicole Smith died - I used to visit the board for 'The View' then - the comments about a dead woman were outrageous!! <BR/>anonymity brings out the weasels.<BR/>take heart :)<BR/><BR/>deborah - part of the whole post 9/11 mind control fiasco was to make people feel powerless - just go shopping and let us take care of it - we'll keep you safe. I remeember when the war in Iraq first started anyone questioning it was labeled un-American. I went to a 9/11 memorial where the NJ freeholder said - "anyone not supporting President Bush IS supporting the people who did this" - I didn't say anything out loud out of respect for family members there BUT I got a moment of this assholes time after, got his card, then told him what I thought of his crap and sent a letter to every local paper plus my Senators. I demanded an apology - never got one from him but I did get a respone from my Senators and my Congressman. Asshole is running again this year - under the guise of protecting us from Obama.

These stories are truly disturbing. I'm glad today is the last day of all of this. I hope/believe that Obama is going to win despite efforts to steal, rather than win, yet a third election, on the part of the GOP. <BR/><BR/>One of the things that bothers me is that the nonsense about ACORN seems to resurface frequently but the voter suppression coverage is much more rare and seems to have less energy behind it. What's wrong with us? But I'm moving towards a rant. Good to post this. Good for those ladies in New Mexico.
