1. Thanks, TIA

You'd think defrauding hundreds of thousands of Black Voters would be enough for a START.

2. So all I see are sites claiming evidence
where none exists.

6. Ehhh, I'm going to start a major I TOLD YOU SO thread on January 6
and another on January 20.

Shadenfreude and all that shit.

:evilgrin:

Nahhhhhhh, no need. Every last poster in this forum will know I was right and maybe we can all start working on the REAL job of election reform starting January 21.

:D

10. Here's a truce suggestion, okay?
Edited on Mon Jan-03-05 08:36 PM by arnheim
Those DUers who aren't into this "election fraud stuff" can start to work immediately on the next election.

The other DUers can work on the election fraud stuff now.

We need each other, okay? If we focus all of our efforts into getting the message of fraud out there, we may forget to focus on our candidates.

If we focus all of our efforts on the next election, we won't win due to fraud.

We need each other, okay? Hello? We are a team, aren't we? We can work for two different things that all lead to the same end: taking back control of OUR government.

Dammit. This back and forth shit is getting old. We need all of the DUers working for the same goal but not necessarily on the same thing.

Edit for freeperish spelling.

49. You are now my favorite DUer.
I like a good fight as much as the next guy. But these arguments and constant dismissals of others' pov are getting me down, big time.

We DO have the same goals, and it's a big fight, so maybe we should each go at it from a different angle instead of trying to get everyone on the same angle.

THANKS, dude.

Remember the last voting rights act(2002?). Sure as hell didn't do any good this time, did it?

14. I don't think you depend on the congress
You start at the bottom: all those people who were on election boards and were poll workers have to come from somewhere.
You start petitions locally to tell your own board of elections that you want paper ballots
You lobby your state for better standards.
You have to do it.

17. What about the
Edited on Mon Jan-03-05 09:19 PM by pleiku52cab
rigged black boxes and the rigged tabulators of the vote. Its easy to have a machine show you what you want to see. How can we prove that our votes were tallied correctly. In this election, I THINK NOT. You can't have4 hundreds of conspirators across the country all doing the same shit.
The repugs used their whole bag of dirty tricks and then some. Even with all that there is no way that shrub won and not by a 3 mil plurality. A very small cadre in the BB companies rigged the tabulating process. Just a few people and the flip of a few switches was all it took to perpetuate this FRAUD.
Even the most honest poll workers and election officials can do nothing about rigged machinery. They won't even know it is happening right beneath their noses.

8. What is your motive here?
You don't contribute anything to our knowledge base, and are apparently blind to the evidence that exists, in the form of 1000s of incidents of voter suppression, statistically impossible exit poll vs. election result patterns that only exist in areas where there wasn't a paper trail, 1000s of incidents of computer "glitches" and "malfunctions" that 9 times out of ten favored Bush--another statistical improbablilityu, and so many more examples of evidence to suggest that bush did NOT win fairly but I cant get into it because my timer is dinging and I have to get dinner

31. Still no smoking gun...
"You don't contribute anything to our knowledge base, and are apparently blind to the evidence that exists, in the form of 1000s of incidents of voter suppression, statistically impossible exit poll vs. election result patterns that only exist in areas where there wasn't a paper trail, 1000s of incidents of computer "glitches" and "malfunctions" that 9 times out of ten favored Bush--another statistical improbablilityu, and so many more examples of evidence to suggest that bush did NOT win fairly but I cant get into it because my timer is dinging and I have to get dinner"

You guys don't understand. This isn't about giving hope to fraud believers, this is about convincing Ma and Pa Fox Viewer to understand the issue in clear, simple 10-secondsound bites and with smoking gun evidence. You forget, these people didn't care to listen to the experts before the Iraqi War, they'd rather watch reality TV than the news and they don't want to hear anything else about the election. They need a soiled blue dress of election evidence, otherwise the media isn't covering it and the public isn't interested.

Bradblog, Bev Harris and others had given teases of smoking guns, but haven't delivered. And that is the only thing that is going to make people start to notice this issue, a big, flashy, smoking gun. There has to be hard and fast proof of fraud, not innuendo or minor broken election laws.

As the public and the MSM and even Kerry's campaign have already shown, they don't care about the tens of thousands of incidents of voter suppression, they don't care about all of the computer glitches that went for Bush, they don't care to know why the exit polls are only wrong for battleground states and they are quick to label everything a conspiracy theory.

So keep it simple, and find the smoking gun, otherwise, this issue doesn't make it off this board or the Mike O'Malley show. I don't want to sound like I'm being negative, I still believe the answer is out there waiting to be found. But I'm a realist and I think that unless we find it, we aren't going to get the media or the public's attention.

Edited on Mon Jan-03-05 09:25 PM by papau
I suspect you are correct Walt as to the 1/6 and 1/20 events -

but I still hope/believe/wish that the obvious fraud (I am a mathematian - actuary - by trade - and use "obvious" in the sense that cancer and smoking connections were obvious in 1964) will be at least objected to by one of our 45 Senators - or are they all ball-less and spine-less?

sigh...

30. Then You Are Willfully BLIND. And Rapidly Becoming Disruptive.
There is plenty of evidence that has been posted here time and time again.

There is enough to warrant a full and far reaching investigation.

The DA doesn't just go arrest someone and bring them to court... they
find clues and SOME evidence... bring them to a judge and THEN GET A SEARCH WARRANT FOR MORE SOLID EVIDENCE TO PROVE THEIR CASE.

...but why do you have to be condescending? Why denigrate people, what's the purpose? I'm fairly new, and have respected you as an established member of the board who is fair-minded and tolerant about other people's opinions. It's disappointing to see you going out of your way to belittle other people's opinions. Why?

DIVIDE and CONQUER!!! If that doesn't work, he'll unleash the locusts on us all! It is of my humble opinion that DU'ers who play together, stay together!!!B-) I love checking in daily. It is a tolerant, safe place for me to vent, ask questions...or whatever! I think it has become a real refuge for people who need to know they are not alone! I feel as though I'm a part of something that matters! At the risk of sounding "preachy", QUITCHERBITCHIN' and lets get back to doing what we do best...NEVER give up fighting for the integrity of our democracy and the honor of our country! America deserves no less!

if no Democratic Senator stands up to contest the election, that may be what is needed to make me go Green. I'd still vote for the Democrats against any neo-cons like Bush. Only if the party caught on would that change.

Great work, TIA! You should send him your analysis.

They're obviously content being the minority party, and our country is headed in the right direction anyways. I will vote for anyone but the democrats, if I bother voting at all. Would I go to Vegas and put money into a slot machine that has no chance of paying off? Not likely.
