Congress Makes Edits To Wikipedia

Wikipedia is the free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit [oh boy, I could see this one coming]. The online encyclopedia is produced by readers who add entries and can edit any page at will at anytime.

Apparently US Congress staff have been making partisan changes to political biographies. After computers were traced back to Congress an inquirey was made into what exactly was going on.

Chief of staff, Erich Mische for Senator Coleman stated... ,

"They've got an edit provision on there for the sake of editing when things are not accurate," Mr Mische told the Associated Press.

"I presume that if they did not want people to edit, they wouldn't allow you to edit."

Now, Wikipedia is concerned whether it is ethical for those with a vested interest should be allowed to make edits to the entries.

In the last six months Congressional computers have been blocked from making edits due to "inappropriate entries."

Bush Editing Block [What's the chances]

The article on President Bush has been edited so much that Wikipedia monitors have had to put a block from further "editing."

What this proves is you cannot trust Congress with an edit button. heh heh

I Wouldn't Put Too Much Stock In This

How many of you remember during the campaign leading up to the 2004 Presidential election how most news sources were saying Kerry was ahead in the polls and exit polls and that he was leading the race? Well surprise surprise it turned out not to be true and with the help and promise of Diebold, Bush won.

Now this morning I get up to read in the WaPo that a Handful of Races May Tip Control of Congress. I personally will not pay too much attention to that because anytime something supposedly positive for the Democrats shows up in the media you can bet your money it has been planted, approved and allowed by Rove.

It's a fact the Democratic voters become complacement whenever they think they're ahead in the polls or there's a chance they might win. Rove always plays this game tactic with the Dems so they'll think there's a chance they may win an election. Don't you know he is laughing up his sleeve at you people for falling for his lies...again.

My suggestion to the Democratic voters is don't pay too much attention to the media but get out there and work to turn Congress back over to the Democrats so they can clean up the NeoCon corruption running our country and for God's sake...


VOTE !!!!
