I'm sorry, there was another post and you abreviated (D.S.) in a manner which made it difficult to determine which post you wished a response.

Let me share a couple thoughts, in sincerity, and hope you can live with this as my response:

I have limited respect for most of the legislators that purport to "represent us" in Washington. Another poster mentioned (privately) to me something to the effect of "these folks go to DC, and suddenly catch this disease where they forget who they are there for, what their job is, and generally fail us." It's all about greed and special interests. And I don't think it is hard to argue that this symptom is present on both sides of the aisle.

I am solely focused on passing legislation to protect all of us against the threats represented by these electronic voting machines. I have become passionately engaged in this effort for the past 6 months, and am committed to helping gain the passage of legislation we are discussing. Those bills, when passed into law (and strengthened subsequentely, if needed, and if possible) should (by their very nature) reduce the potential for vote fraud (on either side) through the use of electronic voting systems.

I came here to gain support for our efforts, to educate people that might not be aware of the issue, and to let folks know how passionately we work on this issue in a non-conspiritorial and non-partisan manner.

That is my priority, and I'm not going to engage in discussing side-topics which could only decline into a flame war. It serves no purpose for the betterment of all.

Now I'm going to share something, that you or others may accept as typical across the US. Prior to this issue, I have never worked on ANY political issue. And prior to the past few years, I honestly have not followed politics very closely. I spent my time commuting, working, raising a family, losing a wife, rebuilding my life, and reading fishing books/magazines. I do not have the historical knowledge of every vote steal that has happened in the past. I am not interested in taking the time to research, defend, and counter (if necessary) the assertions about the "Demodog's election fraud". If you want to pick that fight, go lurk on DU and find someone that is angry and is eager for the fight. Or start a thread here on the subject, and I'll help send some DU'ers over here to fight with you. But I am NOT going to engage that or any other subject other than the specific and narrow topic of "How do we resolve this electronic voting situation."

I hope you can live with that, because it's all I'm doing. I'm not going to fight with you, I'm not going to debate whether D's or R's have the market cornered in beltway corruption, and I'm not buying into any bait that get me zotted. Period.
