NEWS: Republicans: Cheating Fucks Who Still Lost

clearly

you're retarded

yes, and i've always noticed that you weren't one of them.

LOL , indeed

Maybe. I'd just like to get some information as to what went wrong and who was responsible for it before assuming anything.

I hope that this is the last year for paperless (no receipt) ballots at every poll regardless of the outcome.

very true, both sides use these kinds of tactics, and in no way is "telefundraising" or any other form of political ad illegal, the company does have to state who they are and who is paying them though. I (gag) telefundraised once, for Kerry actually. (I needed the money) I quit because I didn't want to pry money out of dying old democrats, even if I am a republican. really though, its harsh, its get however much you can out of them, suck them dry politics. it made me sick to my stomach when I had an elderly man on the phone saying he couldn't do this, that he gets these calls all the time from democratic organization because he donated alot back when he was in his 40's and he's been a life long democrat, but he just doesn't have money to give anymore, especially with the doctor predicting his wifes death in the next two months. ugh... I quit that day.
meh, anyways, back to subject. Both sides use dirty tactics, its what politics is now. Republicans just tend to get the raw end lately, because they (were) are in power and media in general is left-based. it would help if Bush could give a better speech x_x he's like your friend who constantly sets himself up for the joke... people know what he meant to say...but damn, you have to take the shot.

Ahhh...the old "your retarded" rebuttle.

See: Simp

I thought you were supposed to be some sort of writer...? At least try to come up with an insult that is funny, or ironic, or at least sardonically stinging. You must learn to take advantage of your hecklers.

'Course, all the pot heads hung together too. The best part is- both groups always thought they were the "smart" ones.

Somehow this seems apropos to a discussion about Republicans v. Democrats...but I can't quite put my finger on why...

Haha! I'm a wacky diebold voting machine! You just don't know WHO I'll say you voted for!

Well, don't you know, as an Independet, Reaper is unbiased which clearly shows in his articles that slam Republicans more often than not. How often can we read his beautifully written exposes making fun of Republican leaders...

As an Independent myself, I find Democrats to be equally pathetic on voting day and every day as well. Hell I remember clearly rounding up registered Democrats in the city and busing them to voting booths... tell me that isn't a little bit shady and underhanded?

Admittedly, I have not read everyone's comment on this thing, because...well... that's a pain in the ass, but

How To Steal an Election With a Diebold Machine

And, lest we forget: "In 2003, the head of Diebold's parent company, a major backer of President Bush, wrote a fundraising letter to Republicans, saying he was 'committed to helping Ohio deliver its elector votes to the president next year.'"

You could see us from Juvenile Hall ?

Proof?

You are ALL missing FTR's true point here. Katherine Harris is scary. Katherine Harris is also sexy...in a "I was banging her in the ass, and wanted to giver her a friendly reach around, but her balls got in my way" way.

/drags switchblade comb through his greasy hair and sneers

This actually does show that cheating fucks do not always win.
Perhaps there is hope for all of us.

And who the fuck thought up electric ballot boxes anyway? Is there any other country in the world that does this?
As anybody who's ever used a piece of electrical equipment will know, there's no way this could possibly work better than pen and paper.
(Although its likely this is the reason they have them, hey?)

Is it due to speed of counting, because in the UK we use pen and paper and every vote is counted within about 15 hours of polls closing.
It takes days in the US

Christ, this "all politicians are assholes" shit is tiresome.

Innocent untill proven guilty.
Otherwise let's start burning witches again.

Will keep watching this though. Karl Rove is a bastard enough to try and orchestrate something like this.

Ah, yep.

+1

ALMOST as tiresome as watching Republicans blame only the Democrats and the Democrats blaming only the Republicans.

What exactly is supposed to be shady and underhanded about making it easier for registered members of your party to vote?

Mal, c'mon. You are supposed to make it as difficult as possible for people in the same party to vote. Why just last Tuesday I saw some Libertarians setting up barbed wire and trip lines in front of their party members' homes.

OK, so that's an opinion story from a guy who writes for the New York Observer. And? It still doesn't change the news that was posted that day for that particular story regarding a Florida election. "Neither candidate received votes."

Once someone, or an organization, or a party is found guilty (and not just by asummption) for the Florida vote...then by all means - string 'em up. Until then, it's certainly OK to be suspicious....but let's not get the rope out just yet.

Isn't that just another cliche? Where does that actually happen?

It's all cliches. There are 535 members of the Federal Congress, and thousands upon thousands of "politicians" in state houses and county and municipal offices. The idea that all of these people - or even most - are venal, responsibilty averse, lying cheats is just, plain stupid.

So, lemme ask you Gringo, how many "politicians" do you actually know?
