Blackwell uses Franklin Co. Dem Chairman's words to back no racial problem
Edited on Thu Jun-23-05 08:16 AM by mod mom
in vote. WE NEED NEW DEM LEADERSHIP IN OHIO, YET THE DNC LET THOSE IN CHARGE IN OHIO, BE ON THE COMMITTEE THAT INVESTIGATED THE ELECTION. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE A REPORT THAT SAYS NO FRAUD!

from today's Toledo Blade:

Republican Rep. Bob Ney, who represents Ohio's 18th District, held hearings about the election in Ohio as chairman of the House Administration Committee.

He disputes the report's contention that there was racial discrimination in the vote, especially in Franklin Country, where Columbus is located.

His office issued a statement yesterday saying, "The inherent problem with theories such as this though is that they are in contradiction to extensive testimony under oath to the House Administration Committee earlier this year by a number of Ohio election officials including Bill Anthony who is not only chairman of the Board of Elections in Franklin County, but is also a leader in the black community and chairman of the local Democratic Party."

Mr. Anthony testified in March that he drove around Franklin County in the rain and found long lines in urban and suburban neighborhoods, black and white communities, and Democrat and Republican precincts.

This is the same Bill Anthony who stated those who said otherwise were conspiracy theorists! (same House Administration Hearing) I don't care if Blackwell and Anthony are African American, there was widespread inequalities in the African American vote in Ohio! WE NEED NEW LEADERSHIP IN OHIO!!!!

1. Anthony, Noe, and these others are part of a coverup....
Democrats in name only have ruined Ohio, and Dean knows it. But he can't come out and say flatout that the election was stolen there without the perpetrator caught in the act....

We have a very hostile environment today where these fascists will likely lock up anyone who claims Ohio was stolen, without backing up all their facts. They did find electronic fraud and problems but not the widespread type of fraud since they were looking in the wrong areas.

Blaming the DNC does no good, blame the democrats in name only. They're in on it and being the whitewash trouble makers for Blackwell in Ohio.

2. The unequal distribution of voting machines in Franklin County
was fully documented by Dr. Richard Phillips and others.
And by the Hearings.

3. There are two possibilities here. Thank you for the link!
1) Dean and DNC are holding back on the 'stolen' election story with a plan to deliver a knock-out blow once further data is gathered (this presumes they don't read DU, Velvet Revolution, etc., and have the story already).
2) Dean actually takes Donna Brazil seriously (remember she's a Gore protege) and the fools who work to legitimize Bush. This will end up with (i) a discrediting of Dean and the DNC or (ii) a realization on Dean's part that he and the DNC have been used as a "false flag," which would result in a house cleaning and a revival of the issue.

I'm amazed at how hard the establishment types are working to keep the story of the stolen election a secret. They don't know that the story will emerge and blow wide open when Bush becomes so unpopular, the public seeks the most elegant explanation for our current misery.
