I am a GOP Teamleader...
Yeah...I know. But I signed up months ago so I could access their comment page and see what they were up to.

Here is a portion of an email they sent me a little while ago:

"The Associated Press today reported on an official Kerry campaign/ Democratic National Committee election guide that instructs Democrats to make up charges of voter intimidation even if no signs or evidence of voter intimidation actually exist.

This document proves the Kerry Campaign and the DNC are more interested in scaring minority voters than in working to reach out to them on Election Day, even if it means completely making things up."

And here is how the AP story actually reads:

The 66-page document distributed by the Democratic National Committee is a guide that details state law on absentee ballots, provisional voting and polling station rules. One section describes the ways minority voters can be intimidated and discusses what to do even if no problems have occurred.

"If no signs of intimidation techniques have emerged yet, launch a 'pre-emptive strike' (particularly well-suited to states in which these techniques have been tried in the past," the manual says.

And yet...we are the liars.

3. So how do we know you are not a GOP mole pretending to be a DUer
prentending to be a GOP Team leader? Okay, I'll shut up.

Actually, I think the whole RW spin machine pickng up on the Dem. memo story you mention is brilliant -- for us. When the day is over, it still keeps REPUBICAN VOTER THEFT out there on the front burner.

7. Er, yeah
I worked the polls in a primarily black section of town here in Florida in 2000. The only other white person there that day was a cop that kept walking up to voters and saying "What ya gonna do when your boy loses? Ya gonna CRY"? Even towering over little old ladies and getting right in their faces!

The day went downhill from there. The NAACP used my testimony in it's lawsuit against the State. Those GOP ops are simply delusional liars.

12. This is very clever on their part
Edited on Sat Oct-16-04 02:51 AM by fujiyama
They are preempting any complaints now. By saying democrats will complain now, they can then call dems whiners when the fraud actually does happen. They know VERY clearly what they will do on Nov 2.

15. News Release:
Washington (AP) The Democratic Party has released an official memo to the voting public as a preemptive effort to counter an approaching slur and smear storm of incredible proportions:

We suggest that voters be prepared for the usual spectrum of tasteless tactics by President Bush's brain, Karl Rove. The closer the poll results are between the candidates, the more wood Mr. Rove will have for his job. He has been known to increase the air pressure, (used to inflate his enormous head) to forty or even fifty psi near the end of an election.

As has been seen in past, Rove knows no bounds and has no fear of ethical boundaries or moral principals. We suggest you brace yourself for a host of obviously fabricated gimmicks and illusions as they emerge copiously from Mr. Rove's seedy and hyper-active genius.

Some of the strategy's we might expect include: Various bizarre propaganda leaflets left on windshields and other places. Marker bombing of toilet stalls, and public areas. Formations of fictitious and well funded anti-Kerry groups who have juicy information to share with America. A deluge of docu-fictions that star shills who can lie with a straight face.

Although that is not an exhaustive list, you can usually spot a Rove creation by looking for certain keywords and phrases: gay, lesbian, abortion, swift boat, flip-flop, donkey sex, illegitimate child, run/hide, affair, Anti-Christ, communists, etc. They can pop-up anywhere!

Rigged voting machines, e-machine hacking, and the usual voter intimidation are also to be expected in record proportions. The GOP's lack of conscience is just something we have to learn to live with. We advise that you simply ignore it and consider the source. Desperation does strange things to Karl and George has power to cling to.

Know that we share your embarrassment and the strong desire to apologize to the World community for the shame that this brings to a once noble political process here in America.

We are off to find an illegal immigrant we know who has some black market flu shots, Canadian pharmaceuticals, and cheap gasoline.
