Feeney warned his constitutents that Democrats would bring in "union thugs" to try to "steal" the district. I guess he was right. Mrs. Feeney must be a union thug.

Maybe Mrs. Feeney warned Mr. Feeney, who warned the constituency that Clint was going to use Mrs. Feeney against them, or bumper sticker: "Vote For Me Because I'm The Only One Who Can Control Voting Machines (...if not my wife...)"

Tom Feeney is not the opponent right now. Andy Michaud is. It'll be hard enough getting past him.

This Transport Workers endorsement is great news for Team/Curtis. Other unions are sure to follow. With them, they bring support and volunteers. Arrogance is not needed right now. Determination is in order; and may the person that can win against Feeney win the Dem ticket is all I can say. I have not seen hide nor hair of Andy anywhere (as a constituent in District 24). After my last email to him, I received a message about his mother-in-law's passing. Beside that, I've seen one letter to the editor which lashed out against FBI searching of local Congressional offices. I have not seen him at Democratic training sessions or at any Fair Elections events. Who will run his vet business if he were to win against Curtis and Feeney? I wonder (tin-hat time) if the Repubs are helping to fill his bank account with $200,000. Jewels

Give Clint $25.00 or $500. But give. And tell everyone you know.

I posted this before: Clint: Watch out for the DEM PRIMARY to be hacked, not the final election. You won't even get there. Question: What makes us think primaries aren't hacked, even Dem primaries? It's illogical that e-vote fraud has been proven, but we all don't talk about it happening in Dem primaries...

Why else would we have repub lite dems. filling the house and senate. Anybody who represents US is demonized on MSM on top of election fraud. Heard yesterday on Air America Nixon didn't win the popular vote. The electoral College put him in. Or shall I say big oil. Their politics are ruining both parties.ed

Remember Howard Dean was WAY ahead in the pre-election primaries, and Kerry came from NOWHERE??? He was like 4th!!! Then he wins the primaries. Remember, there was Dean, Gephardt, & Edwards? Then Kerry comes storming from nowhere, to setup a skull&Bones presidential runoff. I'm not saying that's what happened, but absolutely NO ONE has ever examined the possibility.

COMMENT #19 [Permalink]

... big dan said on 7/9/2006 @ 2:13 pm PT...





I'm just throwing out some "food for thought", because we're all thinkers here...but what if examining something like the Dean-Kerry primaries leads to uncovering something, because everyone thinks that no one would ever examine that? And the things they think would definitely be examined, they covered their tracks well? And no one ever thought that someone would go back and re-examine the Dean-Kerry primaries...so they left sloppy tracks there??? Just throwing out an idea... IE...take a close look at something that NO ONE would have thought to take a close look at...

I can no longer sit silently.As some of you know I started reading BB when all of this started but I was new to the "blogosphere" and terribly intimated. I said little. I lived in the "Feeney" district for many years and still have family there. You can bet your last dollar that Clint's opponent will be will funded....probably by the "closet Feeney minions" who don't want to face Mr. Curtis. We can sit here all day and lick our lips over one 800 member union endorsement (1/4 of whom probably don't vote in the district) but if Clint Curtis doesn't focus on Andy Michaud all this conversation is for nothing.

Maybe we should be paying attention to Andy Michaud, and do some background on him. Who on earth would run against Clint Curtis in a Dem primary? It's insane! Here's the Dems chance to put Clint in the spotlight, and they run someone against him.

... big dan said on 7/9/2006 @ 4:00 pm PT...





The people of that Florida district better hit the streets with the message, "If you want e-vote fraud in the spotlight, vote for Clint Curtis." Is that happening down there, Emma? You are from that district...what are the people like you saying down there?

COMMENT #23 [Permalink]

... Emma said on 7/9/2006 @ 4:37 pm PT...





Big Dan,

It is as if there is no race. And, for the record, Dr. Michaud had announced BEFORE Clint Curtis so it's not fair to say that the Dems are running someone against him. I will tell you that Dr. Andy Michaud isn't at all visible. He's doing absolutely nothing. No one has seen even the first piece of literature so all Clint has to do is start pounding the drums but without money it's hard!! Even if all you can afford is $10....mail it now !!! Clint CAN win....

big dan #18 I've always been suspicious of that Dean primary too. The official story was that everybody changed their mind at the last minute because they needed a veteran to counter the great military pilot, Bush! I was watching C-SPAN that night and they had the camera on a woman who was trying to get get through one of those, "if you want to do such-and-such, press 2 ect.." on the phone. It seemed to go on forever because she had to keep calling back and trying again. Obviously, they were putting their votes into a computer. It drives me nuts that with the comparatively small number of votes being counted that night, some kind of system to verify how many vote from each polling place were not compared with the final results. Maybe they were, but I doubt it. There must have been a huge amount of angst at the famous "Dean Scream" rally. The "anticipointment" level must have been THICK. Dean knew he had to give the pep talk of his life that night, and he did!

Larry: Correct me if I'm wrong, but the big push to prove e-vote fraud was because of the 2004, not the 2000 election. (right or wrong?) If that's so, then the 2004 Dem primary would not have been on the e-vote radar. Correct? The 2000 election was the "butterfly ballot"/"hanging chad"...not e-vote, right???

Let me put it to you another way: The people responsible for e-vote hacking, do you think they said, "Well, we have our principles...we will not hack a Dem primary." If you think ANY election has EVER been hacked, then you have to entertain the thought that the Dean-Kerry primary was hacked. That would also explain Kerry conceding so fast to Bush, in record time, and not claiming fraud on e-vote machines, eh????????????

COMMENT #35 [Permalink]

... Agent99 said on 7/10/2006 @ 1:10 pm PT...





Big Dan Even though I was screaming, "Don't make me have to vote for Kerry," through the whole primary gig, I think if it was rigged, Kerry wouldn't have DONE it, maybe let it be done, being as how he was so demoralized by Dean beating the snot out of him... and then, when the election was thrown for *, he couldn't speak up without getting exposed for the primary thing. It would have been the same whether he had knowledge of it or not. That COULD explain his silence. The Republicans have already picked Hillary as their opponent in '08. That bears watching, no? AND, they might even let her win, for appearances sake. That also explains some anomalous behavior.

COMMENT #36 [Permalink]

... Winter Patriot said on 7/10/2006 @ 1:34 pm PT...





re #34 BB2 "who knows what to think any more?" is right! I can't put my finger on it right now but I can recall blogging shortly after the "election" about a report which said that the PR firm that handled Kerry's campaign was the same PR firm that handled Bush's campaign. I supposed I should have put "handled" in quotes above ... if you get my drift! Whether that was true or not, I cannot say. Whether Kerry was a "repug plant" or not, I cannot say. What I can say with certainty is that over the years the Republicans have been very successful in obtaining their preferred candidate to run against. Somebody somewhere earlier in the thread mentioned that Kerry came from nowhere to capture the nomination. How good is your memory? I don't have time to get into all the gory details right now ... but let's just say that 2004 was by no means the first time in our lives when the GOP has had the "good fortune" of running against the candidate they preferred. What's the problem? Is it that the actual vote-count in Democratic primaries is being screwed, or are the DNC and DLC heavily infiltrated, or have the media been giving extremely preferential treatment to the candidate that the GOP fears least? Or is there more corruption in the "process" than I can even guess at? Who can say? Not me. But I wouldn't want to bet against "All Of The Above".

Re: link at #37 Well, and those would have had to be VERY special agents, because I know some FBI agents, and no way, Jose, would they have gone in for something like that, knowingly... or even about-to-find-out-ingly. We tend to forget that the vast majority of FBI personnel are upstanding citizens who don't go in for things like killing and un-American activities. This administration may have even succeeded in making the CIA look like good guys, when compared to it. Seems to me that people from both agencies have been trying to contain the damage by these fiends.

What if Andy Michaud is really a conservative in Democratic clothing? Could this be a Republican Party shell game if they no longer think Feeney can credibly further their agenda? Does anyone know Michauds personal views? There is a tendancy down here to switch parties just to get elected or increase your "real" party's chances. Doesn't make sense that the dems would alow an unknown to oppose Curtis.

COMMENT #43 [Permalink]

... big dan said on 7/10/2006 @ 5:44 pm PT...





By memory, I remember Kerry wasn't even 2nd to Dean. The big names were Dean (way ahead of everyone), Edwards, Gephardt, and Lieberman (Joe-mentum). I remember a TV report, where it showed Kerry giving a speech somewhere, and there was nobody there, and I was wondering why he wasn't dropping out. Does anyone remember that? And I remember when Kerry won, thinking, "How did that happen?" We all forget, we were NOT thinking about vote fraud at that time. So the thought never crossed my mind at THAT time. But now, looking back, well... To be honest, if e-vote fraud was as well-known then, as it is now, I would've immediately suspected e-vote fraud.

COMMENT #44 [Permalink]

... big dan said on 7/10/2006 @ 5:48 pm PT...





...and I'm not saying it definitely happened, because no one has exit polls from back then, although all the "pre-election" polls had Dean way way ahead of the whole field by a lot. But, what I am saying, is that all the ingredients and flags were there for e-vote fraud. IE, if Dean won, I wouldn't be saying this, because Dean was known to be way ahead. I would have no basis for suspecting fraud if Dean won, what would be my reason? There would be no reason... But, when you look back, and a guy comes from like 4th or 5th place in the primary, then really gets more votes against Bush, then concedes in record time (shame on you, btw, John Kerry, from all your supporters), and then you find out he and Bush were in Skull & Bones, and then Kerry is silent for years afterwards about e-vote fraud, well..............

OK, we have 2 comments from people "on the street" about Clint's opponent. They both say that Andy Michaud is nowhere to be found. I just want to know more about him, that's all. I'm not accusing him of anything, I just think that, being that Brad Blog's signature articles are about Clint Curtis, that Brad Blog should find out more about Andy Michaud. Who else but Brad Blog, I ask thee?????? No one else would do that, and it's Brad's baby, the Clint Curtis campaign...What would it hurt to find out more about Andy Michaud? In fact, Andy? I'm sure you have read this blog, I don't think it's a stretch by any means, Andy can you post some comments here? Clint does...

Big Dan: Yeah, even I don't bring up the voting machines in the 2000 theft, but I was definitely thinking about the computers being used in the primary and was hoping somebody was keeping track of how all the votes were matching up with the collective count! I bet they weren't though. The way I feel right now, I couldn't care less whether the swift boat veterans or the swift boated veterans go to hell! I don't want Kerry to be standing up for me anymore. Give me Dean, Kucinich, or any democrat that will start SCREAMING NOW, TODAY about voting fraud, but especially the pretend-like-your-voting machines! Agent 99: That is one interesting angle I hadn't thought of. That would be a darn good reason for Kerry to be acting as strangely as he has, requarding the machines! It appears as though the corporations don't care who gets programmed into the machines as long as they're "friendly". It's funny that Hilary is doing so badly with liberals because that means the only logical pitard they can hoist is that she has the most money. I don't think the American people elect candidates based on how glitzy the advertisments are. Even Hannity has pretty graphics. That doesn't make him a human being! It's becoming pretty obvious that everybody in Washington knows the elections are a play act, and the only determining factor is whether or not you read your script correctly. The Democrats in sheeps clothing are about to be exposed. Not a pretty site!

Here is a very funny phone call between the two after Wellstones death. If Franken runs against him, it should be something to behold!

Big Dan,

You can read all about him at www.andymichaud2006.com

I lived in the district nearly all my life. He's a nice guy who is a perennial "runner". He ran for Mayor, State House, Commissioner of Agriculture...and lost all of them. He never campaigns...he does nothing except put his name on the ballot. I feel this race in my bones and Clint Curtis CAN win it!!!

My two cents about Wellstone, I always thought it was fishy. Grassroots politician & family die in "small aircraft" accident. Stay away from "small aircraft", if you're bucking the system. JFK, Jr. "small aircraft" accident, excellent pilot. Story drops out of sight. Wellstone story drops out of site, too, too quickly. I always say, that it's not like I immediately believe these theories, but they DO look suspicious. Ken Lay & Milosevic both die of heart attacks, conveniently. I always question "the story" when a controversial figure dies conveniently or under mysterious circumstances. What about Lemme??? People just don't die that easily, and when you mix in the convenienct factor, it really makes you think. Ken Lay did not die, except when he was about to give a statement Aug. 1. Did you know that? Before he was going to jail, he was going to give some kind of statement Aug. 1. I was reading that on Wayne Madsen. Madsen isn't saying definitively either, that there was foul play. We should point out, though, when something looks fishy, right? Take Lemme: Perfectly healthy, normal person, about to crack open a case, and he commits suicide. I don't think you actually need proof on that one.
