Originally posted by streea I think someone calling someone else racist in a political string without proof should be the new Godwin's Law. Call someone a racist? Oops, you lose the argument. End of string.
The key point is that I did not call SioBabble a racist, I stated he made racial comments. Two different items of context.
SioBabble is a worthy opponent, takes a beating and dishes it back out. Which is why I made no such naming calling onto him.
Unfortunately in this PvP style forum, it can become brutal at times and that is the nature of politics.
(And if you, SioBabble are reading this, a nod to you.)
And that is why...
Conservatives' pessimism is conducive to their happiness in three ways. First, they are rarely surprised -- they are right more often than not about the course of events. Second, when they are wrong they are happy to be so. Third, because pessimistic conservatives put not their faith in princes -- government -- they accept that happiness is a function of fending for oneself. They believe that happiness is an activity -- it is inseparable from the pursuit of happiness.
Fox news is all over this 24/7. It's amazing that one news station can focus on one entirely different thing when every other news station is focusing on mostly all the same things.
Because most media is biased to the left. Polls have been conducted which clearly show most of the mainstay media are registered Democrats.

their excuse of just pay per rergistration is not palpable. they submitted what was necessary, in probably all the contested states.
the acorn leadership crackin the whip behind their subordinates- no wonder they ran out of names and started using football teams. offering kids cigarettes and weed money, hence writing their names and addresses 50 times.

So once again, your liberal talking point to dismiss this as just nothing to worry about .....completely head in the sand blind.
ALBANY, GA (WALB) - There are allegations of voter fraud, as a Dougherty County family claims the vote of a mentally challenged relative was stolen.
They say the adult day rehab program where Jack Justice attends took him to vote, without the family's permission. What's worse is Justice says the person helping him wouldn't cast the ballot for his choice for President.
Jack Justice has been voting since he turned 18. Typically his family takes him to their neighborhood precinct. This time Primus Industries, his adult day rehab program, took him to vote. His family was shocked, but what shocked them more was that Jack claims that his aide commandeered his vote.
An Obama spokesman in Michigan acknowledged that a new organizer made the request, but supervisors nixed the idea as soon as they found out about it. The campaign denied all association with a second request to the Department of Corrections. The emails say that a Theresa Collins, identified as the national coordinator of “Inmates to Support Barack Obama,” asked the prison to post information about how prisoners could make campaign contributions to Obama. That group doesn’t appear to have any Web site.
MADISON, Wis. — The Racine school district’s use of an eighth grade textbook that includes a chapter on Democrat Barack Obama but nothing on his opponent John McCain is unfair and troubling, the Wisconsin Republican Party argued Thursday.
A parent complained on an Internet blog about the textbook that includes a chapter on Obama called ‘‘Dreams from My Father.’’

They aren't really concerned, they know voter fraud is literally nonexistent. It's just one of their favorite techniques of voter suppression. And as far the voting machines are concerned, they can only flip votes within a limited percentage of votes actually cast, if the fixed count is too incongruous, the results might be questioned and that could cause them some real problems. Remember these are Republicans, they are so convinced of the righteousness of their cause, they are willing to cheat.

Considering that polling places have both Democrat and Republican representatives attending them, and both parties generally approve of the type of voting machines and methods to be used in advance, how do Republicans pull this off?
Also a link for your unsubstantiated claim would be nice if you don't want to look foolish.

Republicans run the voting machines.
If you want a link, just google Clint Curtis vs. Tom Feeney and prepare to be shocked (or in denial, depending on whom you believe.)
More garbage drummed up by the GOP. I guess when they failed at forcing US Attorneys to prosecute cases of voter fraud - that didn't exist - in 2006, they decided on a preemptive strike this season. After all, public perception is all that's really important. It seems to be working on some of you.

If you want a link, just google Clint Curtis vs. Tom Feeney and prepare to be shocked (or in denial, depending on whom you believe.)
Testimony video clip of Curtis in which he says he was asked to create prototype software to rig elections, but he admits he has no knowledge if it was implemented and no one else backs up his claim. It's his word only. He doesn't even provide a copy of the software in question as evidence. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEzY2tnwExs
Wikipedia details which indicate Curtis was digruntled with his company Yang Enterprises, is a fervent Democrat who tried to profit with an attack book against the Bush Administration and by competing against Feeney in a political race and lost. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clint_Curtis
There were no prosecutions resulting from the investigation and Curtis's claims were never proven.
These excerpts from the Wikipedia details refutes Curtis's claims with other testimony:
Adam Stubblefield, a computer science graduate student who wrote a paper about Diebold's voting machines, told Wired that Curtis's code would not have been used in any voting machine, even assuming fraud, because (1) Curtis did not have access to any original voting machine source code, and (2) the code that Curtis claims to have written was "so trivial" that it would be easier to write new code than to try to incorporate Curtis's code into the actual voting machine.
Laura Zuckerman, a former reporter for the Daytona Beach News-Journal, told Wired that she worked closely with Curtis in 2002 to write several stories regarding Curtis's various charges against Yang Enterprises at the time, but that Curtis never discussed any alleged conspiracy to commit vote fraud.
Here is the issue...not about the fraud, but the dems got it thrown out on a technicality...
"In a brief unsigned opinion, the justices said they were not commenting on whether Ohio is complying with a provision of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 that lays out requirements for verifying voter eligibility.
Instead, they said they were granting Brunner's request because it appears that the law does not allow private entities, like the Ohio GOP, to file suit to enforce the provision of the law at issue. "
So basically, some government agency has to step up and bring this back into court. Which they will.
If Obama wins the election we know what the Republicans are going to cry about.
If McCain wins the election we know what the Democrats are going to cry about.
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!

Wikipedia details which indicate Curtis was digruntled with his company Yang Enterprises, is a fervent Democrat who tried to profit with an attack book against the Bush Administration and by competing against Feeney in a political race and lost. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clint_Curtis
There were no prosecutions resulting from the investigation and Curtis's claims were never proven.
These excerpts from the Wikipedia details refutes Curtis's claims with other testimony:
Adam Stubblefield, a computer science graduate student who wrote a paper about Diebold's voting machines, told Wired that Curtis's code would not have been used in any voting machine, even assuming fraud, because (1) Curtis did not have access to any original voting machine source code, and (2) the code that Curtis claims to have written was "so trivial" that it would be easier to write new code than to try to incorporate Curtis's code into the actual voting machine.
Laura Zuckerman, a former reporter for the Daytona Beach News-Journal, told Wired that she worked closely with Curtis in 2002 to write several stories regarding Curtis's various charges against Yang Enterprises at the time, but that Curtis never discussed any alleged conspiracy to commit vote fraud.
Thank God...another day brings another part of the puzzle...this is FAR from over....

Here is the issue...not about the fraud, but the dems got it thrown out on a technicality...
"In a brief unsigned opinion, the justices said they were not commenting on whether Ohio is complying with a provision of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 that lays out requirements for verifying voter eligibility.
Instead, they said they were granting Brunner's request because it appears that the law does not allow private entities, like the Ohio GOP, to file suit to enforce the provision of the law at issue. "
So basically, some government agency has to step up and bring this back into court. Which they will.
If Obama wins the election we know what the Republicans are going to cry about.
If McCain wins the election we know what the Democrats are going to cry about.
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!
