OH GOP Chair: "Only Voter Suppression coming from Strickland Campaign"
UFB!

Ohio Republican Party Chairman Bob Bennett issued a statement June 8 saying: "The only voter suppression here is coming from the Strickland campaign. ...They're obviously worried about Ken Blackwell's growing support among African-American voters, so they've orchestrated these politically motivated scare tactics to intimidate voters.''

2. The only person who's supressing Blackwell's votes is Blackwell.

3. Bob Bennett who purged 175,000 voters from Cuyahoga County's rolls?
It is the big lie idea .... tell it often enough and long enough that some people
might buy it. Goebbels was a big one for this.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

They are working 24 / 7 to steal 06 too. Watch them yell about voter fraud this fall.

4. I'm sure they have the "voter fraud script" all ready for the young repugs
to deliver!

Bennett knows that they have been cheating and they will not give up
power without a fight. "they" know any real investigation into the repugs
in Ohio and nationally will expose a level of corruption that is massive.

BTW Kerry won Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Akron, Toledo,
Youngstown, Warren, Portsmouth, Canton, Stubenville, and Athens but still
lost the state?

6. You just have to look at where the uncounted votes, long lines, purges
and challenges/caging occurred to understand how the election was stolen.

7. The polls have been giving Blackwell maybe 20% of the black vote
That's double the typical split but demonstrates how poorly he is faring among independents and even Republicans.

That would be a brilliant strategy for Strickland, suppress a block that will favor him 4/1.

8. Reflublicans sure love to tell everyone else what they're feeling.
Oh, brother.

And to hear them speak about scare tactics? From the folks who got all that traction from the color-coded fright-o-meter? Saddam's "nukes"? How can anyone take that party seriously? :shrug:

10. Oh sure, Blackwell's support...he's at 27% right.
Screw him and all the crooks out there in the Republican party. The occupatin and pillage of Ohio is a story not yet fully told. When it is, it will form one of the most shocking tales in American history, the total subjugation of a great state full of bright people by a small group of thugs. Blackwell is the operational brains behind it all and many know that.

This type of charge means there is probably something that's about to come out on election fraud. Remember, RFK is out there recruiting people to tell the tale and he's pretty effective.

Shameless but that's what we should expect.

11. We were warned some time ago that this would be their strategy if
they were going down...accuse the Democrats of that which they themselves are most egregiously guilty.
Fuckin' liars and thieves.
