It Could Be Worse!!

Thank gawd, at least they don't steal elections.

Shoot, if they were smart they'd design a vote counting system that made sure
no true reformer ever got into office. Thank gawd they ain't that smart, eh?

1. Hell! A system like that wouldn't last long!
Democrats would never allow anything that didn't have a way to verify the votes!

They fear the Democrats, another thing that has kept Bushco honest.

2. It is well known...
...that after Bushco stole the 2000 election, they stood back and saw what they had done, and decided right then and there that to do it again would be anti-American.

Lawd knows they love America, otherwise they'd be stealing every election they possibly could.

6. Nah, these sick mfers only get sticky fingers when there's a contrast
in the record on social conservatism.

Look how the Diebold operatives punished the Republicans in NY-23 when the primary voters threw out the fanatic winger. They stole it for the Democrat.

3. Link to the 63 page list of problems w/ opscanners 2002 - 2008

http://www.votersunite.org/info/OpScansInTheNews.pdf

And these were only the ones that were caught.

Just to be on the safe side, maybe you should toss in that sarcasm thingie.

4. And, what with the strict accountability reigning over the SEC, DOJ, DOE,
DOD, EPA and FCC, we can all rest easy that no wrongs will go unpunished.

18. Also look to the LARGE computers used by MSM . . .
which gave them additional power to PREDICT and CALL elections and

winning candidates --

Previous to the large computers MSM could only report ACTUAL official vote tallies.

They are that smart. They have designed and implemented such a machine and our democracy is, for all intents and purposes, dead.

Sorry kids, We screwed the pooch on this one.

13. We are lucky,
Lets hope they never get the idea of making vote counters that can't be verified. Of course the people would stop it if they did, eh?

15. They have now sidestepped the problem entirely
They just hire Jerome Corsi to produce "documentaries" on any candidate they don't like, then air it non-stop until election day.

People, being the stupid sheep they are who believe everything they see on TV, vote accordingly.

Why take chances tampering with voting machines when it is now legal to smear your opponent out of existence?
