I would like to make one of these diagrams depicting the web of Astroturf that has been used to push-down direct-recording electronic voting and that is moving the whole country towards East German-style ritual voting.

Of course, at the heart of both the war-party and the DRE-cabal is a coalition between the Jabotinski Zionists or "Neo-Cons" and the "Religious Right". That coalition was first manifest in Houston, and its first strategic move was to back George W. BUSH for Governor of Texas.

How they got Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, and the third element of this "big-government conservative" coalition is beyond me.

I have decided to abandon the TEXIAN BLOG and post general commentary at TPMCafe. My post On The Cold War is about all that has any continuing relevance.

Thanks, Josh MARSHALL, for this facility.
