1. This hits a little too close to the truth

There's a lot of untapped vote-stealing potential in the electronic voting machines.

4. imo, the gop did not want to win in 2012. i think they are keeping their powder dry

for 2016 when they hope we will be less vigilant and won't think they will hack the vote. i was shocked that hacking was not discovered in 2014. they are masters at misdirection and i predict that they will eventually try again to hack the vote.

6. re: "was not discovered in 2014", may I borrow your time machine for awhile?

[tclambert]

16. Pretty sure that should have said 2010.

[ellenfl]

22. oops, meant 2012. eom

7. I believe they didnt want to win in 2008. After the embarassing 8 years of Bush,

they wanted the Democrats to take the heat. That's why they choose losers like McCain and what's her name (rhetorical question, plez dont tell me her name)? That's why they came out of the gate with obstruction. But I think they wanted it in 2012. That's why Karl wet his pants when his plan failed in Ohio. The failure in Ohio set them back. If their vote rigging didnt work was it their failure, anonymous sticking their noses in, or Pres Obama's secret hackers at work? Any of those will cause them to think. But they will not give up. They must win and will do anything to that end.

10. I think it was Anonymous

15. If it was it might make them feel a little vulnerable. nm

2. This is not a little to close it is the truth

The Republican will do anything to win they have no honor and are more than willing to lie cheat and steal to win. They are no longer decent American's they have become the enemy of freedom!

[Angry Dragon]

3. That would put them in the terrorist camp

12. It's enough to make one wonder why our Democratic pols are not much more determined to quash:

voter suppression, gerrymandering, poll purges, registration hurdles, disinformation, early voting cutbacks, unequal resources, and caging and seem to be lying on their backs just waiting to get fuc*ed with state-by-state election rigging.

18. They Are Doing It In States Where the Rapeuglicans Control the Entire State Government

The Rapeuglicans are pushing these measures in states where they control the legislature and the state house.

The Voting Rights Act is the only leverage we have left in (some of) those states, and that is about to go down too.

In states not covered by the VRA, there is nothing anyone on the Democratic side could do to "quash" this.

19. Well, since Chuck Hagel,

who helped author HAVA along with Tom DeLay, Bob Ney, and Chris Dodd, and has a financial interest in ES&S, and has been picked by a Democratic administration to be the new Secretary of Defense of the world's strongest military, it may be that the two parties are really a charade.

All the bickering over Hagel's nomination is pigs fighting for space at the trough.

13. That's why I don't want Jeb anywhere near a prez election. He's got the software. nt

20. Jeb, Neil, George--no matter.

My favorite Bush story: http://articles.latimes.com/2006/mar/25/nation/na-donation25
Mommy even washes their money for them.

21. Interesting. Just shows the women in the lives of our Republican foes are just as bad

as they are - although they hid behind the "oh, I have nothing to do with his politics or business." It's a total bunch of bullshit. Seeing Ann last weekend...you could tell - she's even worse than Mittens is. Selfish, disgusting people

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. BTW. Thanks for posting. This is best yet !!

17. Hey, Repubs, you got a bad product. Go buy some new ideas.

But no, they've made their ideology (or is it idiotology?) a matter of faith. No matter how many times it fails, they regard that as just another test of their loyalty.
