"WH Upbeat About GOP Prospect" Bush/Rove KNOW they have it in the bag!

[GreenTea]

Rove knows they can steal (through Diebold) what seats the republicans need

So let the Dem's win 8 or 10 seats, then no one will ask questions about it...The republican owned corporate media will use Rove/WH talking points that will be fed to them, that people decided to stay with republicans because they feel safer with them in power in the war on terrorism...

And the Republicans will still control congress and Bush's fascism will continue at full speed ahead....

Oh, and as always, the republicans will pretend that they heard the Americans voice of discontent & unhappiness and the republicans "better produce" this time or they won't be there in 2008, etc. etc. All bullshit, for image as the republicans continue to steal election after election.

We need a huge Democratic turnout and we will have a chance to offset their machines. We need strong Dem voter turnout. Encourage everyone to get out and vote.

Rove already knows the precincts they need and they are going to steal...These fascist aren't just going to lie down and let the voters decide.

From the WaHoPo:

Amid widespread panic in the Republican establishment about the coming midterm elections, there are two people whose confidence about GOP prospects strikes even their closest allies as almost inexplicably upbeat: President Bush and his top political adviser, Karl Rove.

Some Republicans on Capitol Hill are bracing for losses of 25 House seats or more. But party operatives say Rove is predicting that, at worst, Republicans will lose only 8 to 10 seats -- shy of the 15-seat threshold that would cede control to Democrats for the first time since the 1994 elections and probably hobble the balance of Bush's second term.

In the Senate, Rove and associates believe, a Democratic victory would require the opposition to "run the table," as one official put it, to pick up the necessary six seats -- a prospect the White House seems to regard as nearly inconceivable.

The Mark Foley page scandal and its fallout have many Republicans panicked, but Rove professes to be taking it in stride. "The data we are seeing from individual races and the national polls would tend to indicate that people can divorce Foley's personal action from the party," he said in a brief interview Thursday.

1. Riggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht. They were upbeat about the cakewalk

in Iraq too.

[GreenTea]

4. They couldn't control it with machines in Iraq...This they indeed have

and unfortunatley will control...Because Dem's have their heads up their ass and still don't believe it after election after election is being stolen...

Do you know anything about Georgia in 2002?

[Tom Joad]

7. We will see, won't we.

[GreenTea]

11. Yes. and I think I'll save this link...Just as I saved...

my links that Arnold would win in CA as a pretend Democrat (again) when he was at 34% month's ago...and everyone was saying the same shit as they are on this thread...Blame the messenger...

So, indeed, "we WILL see"!

[deutsey]

35. I think this is more like W's "confidence" on election night 2000

that he "won" Florida.

[goclark]

2. Yep, the CON blond on MSNBC

and her CON guest were saying that everything will be fine because the Democrats don't come to the polls.

Said the Democrats did not turn out in large numbers for the primaries and they won't come out for this one.

[GreenTea]

18. Good post...something I hope won't happen

We've got to get the Dem's out, somehow in huge numbers...something that's very difficult to in in mid-term elections.

That's how the republicans took over the House in 1994...Low voter turnout in a mid term election.

[WilliamPitt]

3. If the GOP only loses 8 - 10 seats

that isn't evidence of theft. That's evidence of the power of incumbency. Anyone walking around thinking the Dems have this in the bag in November needs to get their head examined...and not because of Diebold.

You should definitely quit, though. It sounds to me like there's nothing left in this fight for you.

[GreenTea]

5. Exactly right!!!!!

I will take your advice!

[niceypoo]

6. Nothing they have predicted/claimed has ever came true

In fact its always the opposite.

[GreenTea]

9. Let's see they predicted victory in 2000, 2002 & 2004!

ALL stolen, knowing that nothing will happen to them (and hasn't) when they steal elections.

[WePurrsevere]

17. They always have predicted they'd win. Both parties tend to do that....

Dems maybe not quite as much lately though. It's all part of being political party high mucky mucks. They're the "coaches" of the "team" and it's their job to get their "players"(voters) motivated enough to actually go out and play (vote).

As for Diebold... first of all not all of the major in play states use Diebold (there was a thread/post on this here within the last few days but I don't have time to look it up right now). Is there a chance an election or two might be stolen, there's always a "chance" however I'll be damned if I'd go down without doing my best to get out and VOTE anyway because my vote is a major part of my political voice.

The thing to keep in mind is that the bigger the vote count difference is between two candidates the harder it is to "fudge" (whether with Diebold or other) so the best weapon we have to fight against such a thing is to get out and VOTE and help others do the same who may need a ride or a nudge.

[Tom Joad]

8. I think it is very naive to believe all the Dem problems stem from Diebold

The world is just a bit more complicated than that.

[GreenTea]

10. Hey, the Dem's are going to pick up seats!!!!

[buff2]

12. I hate to say it,but I agree with you

The stealing of past elections and nobody doing anything about it has made me very paranoid about future elections. The radical fascist nazis in the repuke party are not going to give up their power and I don't care what anyone says to refute that.Their arrogance,greed and power obsession will not let anyone or anything stand in their way and anyone who can't see that has THEIR head in the sand. I know in my heart the Dems will win control over both houses but the repukes will retain their precious seats come hell or high water. It's sad,scary and UNACCEPTABLE. If the voters let this happen again without fighting to put who we actually voted for in power, than shame on us.

[GreenTea]

19. Yes, unfortunately, I see it the same as you...

But people just don't want to hear it...or even suggest it...they want to go along believing what was once true is still true that all our votes are being counted and no manipulated by the machines.

I have my heart and soul into this election just as in the past, I want the Dem's back in the House more than anything...to begin to dismantle the fascism...but I also see what is right in front of me and has been obvious since the republicans bullshit HAVA of 2002.

Each election they say the same thing we are going to win and don't talk about election stealing and each election it's stolen...sadly, no different this time...You think maybe by 2008 they might catch on?

[WilliamPitt]

13. Good edit

"We need a huge Democratic turnout and we will have a chance to offset their machines. We need strong Dem voter turnout. Encourage everyone to get out and vote."

...wasn't in the OP when you first posted it.

My mission is accomplished. ;)

[GreenTea]

15. Your wrong again!

I added the second line and the first line was always there, I just decided to put it in BOLD for people who missed it the first time...as I was going to mention to you, didn't you read my last line before you told me to just give up.

The only line I added was "We need strong Dem voter turnout. Encourage everyone to get out and vote."

Again, the first line "We need a huge Democratic turnout and we will have a chance to offset their machines." was in the original post/thread, but I accenuated it in bold, because you seemed to have missed it.

[democrat in Tallahassee]

14. why do you take anything they say seriously? they lie and they lie

and then they lie some more; this is just foolish postering and bluster.

[GreenTea]

16. Sorry it offends you.

Truly!

[blogslut]

20. Who is offended?

Just because KKKarl and Junior say it's so, that doesn't make it so.

We do need to vote in droves. Of that, there is no doubt. As for vote fixing, well, let em try. Things are different this time around. The majority populace is disgusted with the direction this country is heading. Not half. Not a third. A majority.

Little man and Fatboy can smile themselves silly. The people want a change and if they don't get that change, they're going to be pissed. To manipulate the vote to the extent you fear, would require an intelligence and ability that they frankly do not possess.

[stepnw1f]

21. I find These Posts Hilarious

it's in the bag... more like nut sack or lack of.

[solara]

22. Of course they are smiling

What else can they do? They are not going to admit that they are hanging on by their toenails. They may -try- to steal the vote, but there is much more awareness for this election and that will definitely change the playing field in our favor...I am not being naive here, but I just can't imagine that their attempt at voter theft will be successful this time..I predict the Rovians will overplay their hand out of desperation and get caught in the act .... wouldn't that be wonderful?

Besides, I hear our illustrious president is a happy drunk..if nothing else, ascribe his unfounded optimism to that

:evilgrin:

[GreenTea]

23. Dupe!

[janx]

25. nevermind

[GreenTea]

27. I just sent her money! I sent seven Dem SoS money today...Here's the link!

These are ALL Dem candidates...I don't know how many are SoS or trying take a seat from a repub.

But do donate! One amount you give can be split by all seven Dem candidates.

[GreenTea]

24. I'll be the happiest fuck you ever saw if I'm wrong...BUT...

I study it, I read, I listen to the rhetoric, I understand what Mark Crispin Miller, RFK Jr., Brad Blog and so many others are begging people to see.

In key states and not so key states with REPUBLICAN Secretary of States,(SoS) who count & certify the vote in each state the republicans SoS count the votes...CA, Florida, Texas, Ohio, Georgia, Alaska, Arizona, New Mexico all with Repug SoS and the South.

The republican Sec. of State only needs to allow fraud in just small amounts in each state, we already know the tactics the republicans use to keep Dem's from voting (Harris, Blackwell) it won't take much to steal a seat here and there in each state where the republicans count and certify the vote.

It's NOT this big conspiracy on a level of what you may be thinking I'm implying...it just takes a little here and a little there from chosen precincts to keep the majority.

If your state has a republican Secretary of State, pay attention...there no way to check the machines, it only takes one machine and 90 seconds to be hacked controlling a series of machines in that precinct and the republican SoS of course will look the other way?

Whoever a hacked machine says is the winner, that person becomes the winner, no way to check, the hacked machine, it can be reversed, whatever, if it favors the republican tha state Repug SoS will certify it...

Since the 2000 election, 100% of the time when pre election national polls & exit polls don't match who the electronic voting machines announced as the winner, it's always the republican who is the winner and there's no way to check either way...the republican owned machine has spoken.

They've been doing it election after election. Like a child, if the child keeps getting away with something and nothing happens to the child, they will continue to do it....Nothing ever happens to the republicans when they steal...You don't think they are going to do it again?

It doesn't take much, that's where so many are making a mistake...they think it has to be this huge conspiracy by Rove, no a number of small ones...

How may republican Secretary of States are there out of 50 states...I'm not sure but, that will give you some answers!

[janx]

26. Who is the Republican secretary of state for New Mexico? n/t

[GreenTea]

28. Dem Mary Herrera is running - Anyone can donate to this SoS fund...

http://www.secstateproject.org/

[janx]

29. Mary Herrera is NOT the current Sec. of State in New Mexico.

Mary Herrera is a Democrat who is running against Republican Vickie Perea in the upcoming election.

The current Secretary of State here in New Mexico is a DEMOCRAT. Her name is Rebecca Vigil-Giron.

[GreenTea]

30. Your point?

[janx]

31. My point is that New Mexico does not have a Republican

Secretary of State.

[GreenTea]

33. So? That was hardly my point, perhaps if you read

my post again. My being wrong about one state means what?

"I study it, I read, I listen to the rhetoric, I understand what Mark Crispin Miller, RFK Jr., Brad Blog and so many others are begging people to see.

36. If they try to steal the election this year then America will

have to have a work stoppage Strike

[goclark]

38. And they will outsource all the jobs

of the strikers.

They don't care cause they are in charge ----

[saltpoint]

37. They're whistling past the graveyard.

And they aren't even on pitch.

November 7th is going to be a very blue evening. Let's put in three more weeks of very hard, dedicated teamwork and whip their butts across all levels of government.
