If the Republicans are so Cock-sure they will win then tell me this

[ThomWV]

Why are they preparing for recounts all around the country?

[Winterblues]

1. It's SOP but the question should be why aren't the Democrats?

:shrug:

[AspenRose]

2. Because they're pushing a meme of liberals stealing the election

[corkhead]

5. good, then maybe there finally will be real election reform with a paper trail.

[wakemewhenitsover]

7. Yes, Republicans accuse the opposition of their own crimes. n/t

[kestrel91316]

9. Projection is their standard MO, hadn't you noticed??

Whatever they screech about somebody else doing wrong, you can rest assured that that exact thing is what they are doing or have plans to do.

8. Heard it on RW radio just 30 min. ago.....

If the Repubs don't take the House and Senate then the election was "stolen". They are trying to fire up the nutjobs.

13. meme? Florida 2000, Geogia 2002, Ohio 2004.... Meme???? I don't think so.

:popcorn:

3. "It's not the vote that counts - it's who counts the votes" --- Josef Stalin

[theoldman]

6. Is that not what happened in the US in 2000?

[Cetacea]

12. Peter King (R-Long Island) 2004

I didn't know that he was quoting Stalin..

[wakemewhenitsover]

4. Good point.

Longtime Republican strategy: pretend the election is a lock. News outlets buy into it and assist in creating a future that hasn't happened yet. We can only hope that the Republicans are so cocky they decide to stay home because they believe the bullshit that they'll win anyway.

Really pisses me off, this crap. Witness the devastation that resulted in the 2000 Presidential election when the Republicans used the same strategy.

:mad:

10. We can say, "No, it wasn't stolen, it's because half the candidates were crazy."

[OHdem10]

11. Why are so many races so darn close????

[tavalon]

14. Follow the money

Citizen's United. It is the reason. It must be stopped before it grows up.

[Swede Atlanta]

15. And the question is?

I think there are going to be a number of races that will be close. The teaparty "polling place watch" which constitutes nothing less than voter intimidation combined with this legal strategy means they are out for a scorched earth approach to these elections. Be afraid, be very afraid.
