GOP says Nevada voter fraud charges are trumped up
Oh, why, oh, why do I smell the stench of Karl Rove (from Reno) in the middle of all of this??

LAS VEGAS SUN


Top Republican strategists told reporters Wednesday in a national conference call that Democrats have trumped up charges of voter fraud in Nevada.

Charges that thousands of Democratic voters were disenfranchised have proved "baseless," said Jim Dyke, communications director for the Republican National Committee.

Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe told reporters last week that thousands of Democratic voters could lose their right to vote because of Voters Outreach of America, a group funded by the Republican National Committee.

1. This election is going to be
a friggin' free for all. I'm begining to think it may end up making FL 2000 look like a cakewalk.

2. I agree, this is the stage merely being set
This from another article ...is this madness or a purposeful attempt to distract from the issues? Or an attempt to create chaos leading up to martial law when the damn system implodes??

Democrats, Republicans allege voter fraud cases

The Republican operative whose organization was accused by a former worker of destroying Democratic voter registration forms is suing the worker for slander.

Meanwhile, Republicans Tuesday used a news conference to accuse Democrats of having a national strategy to lie about voter fraud. The Republicans pointed out some examples of voter registration forms that contained what they said were non-existent addresses, and said that Democrats had collected those forms.

In turn, Democrats said Republicans were trying to deflect attention from the allegations that their operative destroyed Democratic registration forms. The charges were made by Eric Russell, who said he caught his supervisor destroying the forms.

3. When attacked, don't defend. Counter-Attack.
That's how they handle it.

A nasty person might ask, "When are you going to stop lying and become Christians?"

Just for fun, you understand.

4. We're now living in a mega banana republic.
If the neofascists keep moving forward, we may look back at today as the good old days, literally.

7. Frightening at best.
Just thinking how someone could be plotting this chaos makes one want to escape ...but I fear they are ....everywhere.

I guess this is almost coming down to a class war over who will control the country, the greedy rich don't want to let go of the man who gives them their way....

8. The class war is WELL underway.
Bill Moyers gave an excellent speech on the subject.

11. now they are only screaming it's not thousands, next time they'll be
screaming that the charges of millions is baseless.

See, you can only prove Nineteen Hundred Fifty counts of criminal voter fraud. Your charge of thousands is an outrage.

And black becomes white, up becomes down, and the media spins round and round, and the media, the media spins round an round.
