Peggy Noonerhead disses Dems, spreads distracting slander on "vote fraud"
Great question on the Washington Post forum today. Watch how Evil Noonerheadpiece-o-shit "finesses" it.


http://discuss.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/zforum/04/politics_bothsides102204.htm

Gambrills, Md.: Two points: "Vote Fraud" is a code word used by Republicans to dilute the vote. In a democracy, it is better to allow more people to vote so that the government is truly run by the people. Allegations of voter fraud is what Republicans have been parroting for decades in order to justify literacy tests, poll taxes, and difficult registration laws. Also, by suggesting that people should go to jail is a tactic used by Republicans to scare citizens from going to the polls in the first place. Haven't you used scare tactics enough in this campaign Ms. Noonan?

Second -- I thought this election would be a referendum on the President. The Republicans have made it a referendum on the challenger's wife. Is that part of the Republican playbook? To divert attention from the war on Iraq, the federal deficit, the highest loss of jobs since Hoover, the destruction of the environment, just so you can say "Look over here at what Teresa Heinz Kerry just said!"

Donna Brazile: The other word you will read or hear is "Ballot security."

Democrats believe every American deserves a chance to participate in our democracy. We are working hard to prevent another "Florida style" election where confusion and conflicts abound.

I hope you will volunteer on Election Day to help citizens get to the polls and vote for change.

By the way, the Bush Cheney team will not make this a refrendum on their four years in office. They will continue to use fear as a political tool to drive a wedge.

They cannot talk about jobs, health care, Iraq, gas prices and social security, so they distract and distort daily.



Peggy Noonan: No. Vote fraud is Republican code for vote fraud. Illegally registering those not eligable to vote, stuffing ballot boxes, playing games with votes that have been cast and not tabulated. The other night on Hannity and Colmes, Alan, the redoubtable and honest liberal, gave me a small lecture on how the Democrats want the franchise to be as wide and broad as possible, encourage all people to vote. I said yes, that's democracy, but we don't want DEAD PEOPLE to vote, or cartoon characters, or people who live in Palm Beach voting there AND in New York. Darling Democrats, you have a bad history here. You used to have one Mayor Daley, and God bless his soul for many good things done, but he was a guy who could -- and probably did -- steal Illinois. Now we have a thousand Mayor Daleys -- and it could kill our democracy by killing the faith people have in it. And it could wind up making us look like a bum of a country in the eyes of the world. It is terrible. And we have to start paying attention.

1. Peggy Noonan was Reagan's Monica.
And probably poppy's as well.

She's utterly disgusting. I bet she'll be fun to watch on Election Night, as she turns drama queen and sighs and hyperventilates. The last time I sat through one of her appearances with Chris Matthews, awhile ago - when something was going bad for bush, all she did, throughout the interview, was sigh and look pained and grief-stricken and respond "(sigh) ...Christopher... (gasp, sigh) ...CHRISSSSStopher..." It was painful. She had no rebuttals. Just "(sigh)... Christopher!" She wasn't able to wax rhapsodic about her heros - the latest of whom was being shown to have feet of clay. She's a complete joke. "Now we have a thousand Mayor Daleys..." Care to name any of them? They ALL Democrats, Peg? Where are they? Or are you just playing with your earlier metaphor about the "thousand points of light"?

And don't call me "darling," Peg.

4. Her answer also totally demonstrates the sickness that is
faith-based "thinking." She can go on and on pretending that Democrats register "cartoon characters" and dead people, even if she can be shown definitively how bone-headed that belief is. As long as she believes it, it's true. :eyes:

2. And Nooner, you have one Karl Rove
Who makes Mayor Daley look like a choir boy.

Can we please have a name of a major Illinois Republican who orchestrated voter fraud in southern Illinois back in the 50's and 60's? Anybody?
