HUGO CHAVEZ yes HUGO CHAVEZ blamed for Chicago voting problems!!!
Alderman: Election Day troubles could be part of 'international conspiracy'
By Andy Shaw

April 7, 2006 - One of Chicago's most powerful aldermen has a conspiracy theory for the voting problems experienced during the March primary. Alderman Ed Burke wants to know why the Chicago board of elections would pick a Venezuelan company to supply the city's new voting machines, a company Burke believes has the ability to rig an election for political gain.

"We've stumbled across what could be the international conspiracy to subvert the electoral process in the United States of America ," said Ald. Ed Burke, finance committee chairman.


Alderman Burke says at least 15 Venezuelans, who may not have been in the country legally, worked side-by-side with Chicago election officials on primary night March 21, which turned out to be a vote-counting nightmare.

Burke says the fiasco may have been politically motivated, because the president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, is considered an enemy of the United States and may be connected to a Venezuelan company that owns a US firm that provided Chicago and Cook County with the new voting machines that contributed to the election night problems.

2. What's this "not have been in the country legally" stuff. Shouldn't
Sequoia have known about that already? It seems a little ambiguous to me.

3. Bush is an enemy of the United States, not Chavez
Bush is the most dangerous terrorist in the entire planet, far worse than a legion of Bin Ladens.

5. Now this really begs the question....
Why does Hugo Chavez always tilt the machines to add to Republican totals?

Hey, nobody ever said this has to make sense.

6. burke must be a republican plant, stooge or an idiot.
"I don't know how anybody could hire a company that's ownership is hidden, and traces its roots to Venezuela, where they've been involved with the dictator of Venezuela who Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld says is an enemy of the United States," said Burke.



obviously this guy wouldnt know democracy if it got jammed up his ass on the end of a broomstick.
rumsfeld? what credibility is left in that dried up old carcass?

give me a break. abc is crap. our AA affiliate, owned by ClearChannel, plays this abc radio news all of the time, it is slanted, propagandist blather. garbage.

12. Ok, Mr. Chavez, confess!!
You smuggled 15 illegal Venezuelans into Chicago JUST SO ED BURKE COULD START A CONSPIRACY THEORY, didn't you? Didn't you? Hah! and you thought you were going to get away with it, just like you thought we'd fall for your heating oil schemes!!

Oh. Wait.

13. And not only that, but I'm personally convinced that Chavez was
the mastermind behind the death of Amelia Earhart.

No doubt in my mind.

15. wasn't there some scuttlebutt about
the computers in florida, a day or two before the 2000 election, when some south american foreigners were allowed access to the central vote tabulator, while all others were kept away?

i'm not making this up, i did read something about it.
