Republicans and their obsession with "fraud"..
Every stinking call in show and/or article that's about the physical act of voting comes around to fraud if it's a republican article.. I know their definition of fraud is "any democratic" vote, but I am getting DAMNED sick of hearing about it..

An unregistered citizen gets registered, and if their skin is brown, or their zip code is "suspect", they are automatically going to commit fraud...just by voting???

I am equally disgusted with the media (what's new??) for constantly reporting the fraud angle more readily than the "roadblocking of votes"...

If people show up with proof of citizenship, proof of address and a receipt that shows they registered, it's NOT fraud if they actually think they should be able to vote...

The press has been all over the "10,000 lawyers" story, without EVER mentioning the REASON we NEED 10,000 lawyers..

If they think that stealing THIS one will be easy....they are sadly mistaken..

1. They are laying the foundation for lawsuits they will be filing
Edited on Mon Oct-25-04 07:08 AM by Gman
on November 3. They will claim massive fraud in an attempt to send the election to the Supreme Court again. They will refer to media reports of massive Democrat fraud in the lawsuit as well as trumped up anecdotal evidence. Remember that all roads from the courts lead to the Supreme Court. There is definitely a method to this seeming madness.

2. fraud is all they know
the neoconservative movement has destroyed any credibility the GOP had, starting with Nixon.

Fraud is their primary operating motive, IMO.

3. bottom line is
Democrats encourage voting; repugs discourage voting. That about says it all.

4. "Fraud"
from the Republican Dictionary: "Fraud (noun) A non-white person voting. Does not apply to Cubans in Miami."

6. Hmm.... Think a little eat alot and sing some food songs.
Anyways yeah maybe those repuglicants or whatever are like obsessed with fraud but then who really cares too much about that??? I mean seriously if there is "fraud" going on then don't you think that people will be able to tell if it is fraud? (Unless they're professional con artists trying to commit "fraud" then really it is all quite silly). But then on the other hand, we have to be careful about non-citizen people just being allowed to go and vote, otherwise the reps will be like "ahhh I smell some good fraud going on"

7. I'm not concerned about "non-citizen people just being allowed...
to go and vote". That's fairly easy to prevent.

I know it's a big concern for the Republicans. Bob Dornan is a good example; after all his whining, it was proved that he lost fair & square.

10. Repugs always accuse you of the crime they're committing...its a clue
its a roadmap, its an indicator, whatever.

you can take it to the bank: whatever they accuse us of is tipping their hand on what they are presently doing or intend to do in the near future.
