where Kerry won...
I hate this guy. He's my neighbor's father. I actually hung out with him at our neighborhood pool last summer. What a RW jerk.

2. And his objection to Dems
and their "fraud", came down to examples of only SINGLE votes, which BTW were spread across the US.

What a joke! lol

3. And I think he just showed his a$$
Because, and I'll look this up, it was my understanding that in Georgia (where I live) people with disabilities had a right to go to the front of the line....so that stuff about his blind father waiting 3 hours ...um....was it he or his Dad who was ignorant...or both...

5. Yes, here it is, from the SOS website
Between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on the day of an election, voters who are 75 years of age or older or who are physically disabled may, upon request to a poll officer, vote immediately without waiting in line.

So that crap about his blind Dad waiting 3 hours doesn't get an ounce of sympathy from me!

15. Citizen Jane, would you provide a link?
I am searching the site, can't find this quote. I want to insert that tidbit(with link)into a terse letter I will be faxing to repubs that seem to hate democracy with such zeal and did not get the point of this exercise. Exposing one of them as a blowhard is gold.

6. actually, he had some good points
if this action is really about voter fraud why is the focus only on Ohio? why isn't more attention given to states like Minnesota and Wisconsin and NM where the vote was actually much closer?

obviously it is because the ulterior motive of those who proclaiming that it is about the integrity of our voting system, were really wanting the election to be given to Kerry.

all along I've been hearing on the one hand about massive fraud while others are claiming its about voting rights. so if it is simply about voting rights why do people seem so upset that every democrat didn't vote to uphold the objection.

7. He had good arguements
agreed Nicho. I dont understand how our party can be out there advocating electoral fairness and in the same breath only look into the states and counties that we lost when there exist equal irregularities on both sides

13. How clever
You have no idea how many I do ask.
I have worked tirelessly for the last 2 years to get Dems elected in this state. I've worked on numerous state and local campaigns and I've asked the people. And you know what I've found? That what I'm hearing from ordinary people sure as hell doesn't match the results coming in on election night.

I'm a member of the State Committee of the GA Dem Party. I hold a position on my local county party committee and I belong to numerous organizations that deal with every issue under the sun, both political and personal. I have had to deal with that man and the absolute bullshit coming from his office for quite some time and I believe I have more than enough earned the right to say fuck him.

And as far as rhetoric on this site goes: that's what this site is for. Learn to like it or leave.

14. you are involved in Georgia politics and you wonder

16. No, I know how they get "elected", not why
and we're all still trying to figure out Zell.
After he left the governorship, where he wasn't that popular, he still didn't appear to be psycho. You can never tell about people can you? Kind of like I can't tell why you, with your very low post count, can't take a person venting without trying to point out very Republican sounding "points" - "actually, he had some good points". Go back to FreeRepublic and take SuperSteve with you.

11. Maybe because there were any complaints about fraud in MN
by Dem or Repukes?
