Angle campaign attorney: Reid “intends to steal this election if he can’t win it outright”
Edited on Wed Oct-27-10 03:17 PM by Bluebear
Very dramatic. :eyes:


Ms. Cleita, a partner at Foley & Larder of Washington DC...very Nevadan, yes? She specializes in separating nutty right-wing clients from their money.

====

So says Cleta Mitchell, the same woman who tried to get Scott Ashjian, the Tea Party of Nevada candidate out of the race, in an astonishing fundraising letter:

As Sharron Angle's campaign attorney, I am sorry to report that the Democrats and their cronies are up to their same old tricks, of trying to manipulate the election in hopes of skewing the results in their favor.

Two days ago, the Democratic Secretary of State announced that voters can be provided "free food" at "voter turnout events." Harry Reid has been offering free food and, according to other reports, some Democratic allies such as teachers' unions are offering gift cards in return for a vote for Reid.

Before we were even able to document the reported infractions to report to the authorities, the Democrat Secretary of State slammed the door shut on preventing this behavior and issued a public statement permitting these ACORN-style tactics. THESE are the kinds of shenanigans that can turn this race.

Harry Reid intends to steal this election if he can't win it outright. As a result, we need to deploy literally dozens of election law attorneys and poll watchers to combat these tactics at a cost of nearly $80,000. That's over and above our current budget. We need to raise $80,000 and we need to do it RIGHT NOW, because even as I am writing this, Harry Reid and his Machine are trying to steal this election. I'm sorry that we have to come to you yet again and ask for you to reach deep and contribute, but we must.

Understand, EVERYTHING we have worked for in the last year could be destroyed by dirty tricks and criminal acts in the next 8 days. As Sharron's first line of defense on these matters I am absolutely committed to making sure this won't happen.

They also love projecting themselves on to their opponents. Besides, didn't Ol' Georgie steal the election in 2000?

10. I guess that means no formal complaint
Just a way to part the fools from their money. When she loses does she get to pocket the leftover cash?:shrug:

7. Good. Fine. Maybe if the Republicans are clamoring about voting machine fraud
something will actually get done about it.

9. Sounds to me as if she's expecting to lose
And this is her excuse or her preparation to ask for a recount.

11. Inoculating the outcome
So that when Angle loses, they can holler and scream about fraud, and say they knew it all along. Then, by the time an investigation has been done and turned up nothing except Republican wrongdoing, everyone will say it's over and done with, let the past be past, and now it's time to look ahead. That is, if anyone even remembers this kind of reckless, groundless nonsense.

12. Then someone better be monitoring how Angle intends to steal the election.
I take claims like that seriously -- often as indicating the claimant's own intentions.

14. Your nose is growing, Sharron.
And your :tinfoilhat: is a size too small.

And for the record, I think you're :crazy:.

15. For What It's Worth
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away

18. He's too spineless to steal anything.
And Angle knows she's going to lose, so the only thing she can do is make up an outrageous lie six days before the election.

Typical Republican bullshit.
