ELECTORS vs. ELECTRONS George W. Bush is looking awfully French. The winner of the election may not be known for a month. Worries linger that military votes won't be counted.

Upon a Second Viewing of 'Fahrenheit 9/11'

By Guy Reel / Common Dreams Michael Moore has said repeatedly that if he could just move one or two percent of the vote with Fahrenheit 9/11, then it is quite possible he could swing the election. When I first saw the movie, the day it was released nationwide on ... continue reading

The Republican National Committee's voter fraud machine seems to be headed to battleground Missouri--you can call them and apply for a job: 702-307-1320.

The Case Against George W. Bush - by Ron Reagan

by Ron Reagan / Esquire It may have been the guy in the hood teetering on the stool, electrodes clamped to his genitals. Or smirking Lynndie England and her leash.

Fahrenheit 911 is Fair and Balanced

by Bob Fitrakis and Harvey Wasserman / Common Dreams We've come to expect poisonous and unbalanced attacks from the paid far right propagandists denouncing Michael Moore's documentary "Fahrenheit 911."
