http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081012/ap_on_el_pr/mccain_lewis I think this is pretty funny since we just lived through 8 years of personal attacks on President Bush. Maybe some people should look in the mirror before talking about sowing the seeds of hatred.
The only personal attacks made on George Bush is that he is stupid. He is. His economic policies will only help big business and destroy America's middle class. They did. He has no idea what America really needs. He doesn't. The Iraq War was a Personal Vendetta and has nothing to do with the bombing of the World Trade Center. It Didn't. He stole the Presidential election. He did. Twice. The only people sowing the seeds of hate are McCain and Palin. I haven't heard Obama calling McCain unpatriotic. I haven't heard Biden accuse Palin of "pallin' around with terrorist", even though her husband was a member of a party that wanted to succeed from the United States. I haven't heard Obama attack Palin's preacher, (who blessed her) a "kook" even though he went to Kenya and labeled a village woman a witch, which he is proud of. I don't see Obama's commercials using pictures of masked terrorists in order to scare voters into voting for him. The Congressman is right....the underlying racism and hate is apparent in the Palin/McCain campaign.
You probably concede that he stole it at least once, right? 1. 3,400 Votes Missing in Florida. Recount Flips Race. 2. Missing Votes Spark Lawsuit In Columbus Ohio 3. Problems with Not Enough Voting Machines In Several Swing States 4. Voters Wait Hours As Elected Officials Held back Functioning Machines 5. Republicans Prevented 350,000 Voters From Casting Ballots in Ohio, - Written by Robert F Kennedy Jr That was 2004. That should be enough. Just once should be enough to outrage everyone.
And how did he steal the election again? You have provided nothing. You really don't believe that do you?
You don't think that inhibiting peoples right to vote, and illegally denying them the opportunity is a big deal ? Losing Ballots? Corruption in the recount? Machines Down ?- You only need them on one day every two years It's never happened before, why all of a sudden now ? And how come only in Democratic areas ? You don't believe it because it didn't happen to you. But for the thousands of registered Democrats that were told that they could not vote because they were felons, when they had no criminal records, it is a reality. They didn't get to vote again, and there was no recount. You only need to screw up one day, to steal an election. There is no recount and the winner still moves into the white House. Did you even read the article by Kennedy ? I am sure you can trust the word of Robert Kennedy Jr, can't you ? I didn't make this up, these things actually happened are are now history. If just one person is denied his constitutional right to vote there should be outrage, when thousands are, there should an investigation that results in prison...there was not. Bush barely won the election by the skin of his teeth, and thousands of Americans were denied the right to vote. # Botched Name Purge Denies Some the right To Vote on Election Day # Name Purge Knowingly Sacrificed Innocent Voters High ranking Election Officials Guilty of Misconduct Regarding Recount
From the Robert F. Kennedy Jr article. When states purge voteres registration its usually because they are in jail, or committed some other felon. AS for not process voter registration cards, ACORN has a long history of deliver voter registration cards with names like Donald Duck, and Mickey Mouse and they drop them off at the last minute and overwhelm the registration department. As for a high turn out in one district and a low turn out in another could be atributed to a number of factors especially when you are considering two different districts in two different states. Why didn't they mention the turnout percentage in 2000
Convenient that you would take that excerpt, but not from the article where people were denied their right to vote because their name was similar to a felon. There is more information if you have the time, in way of a documentary that shows how a company in Texas supplied a list of name to Florida to purge from the list of registered voters...and yes there was an investigation, but after election day is over..who cares how it happened, the White House already has a new resident, even though it was not the will of a majority of people. You cannot directly attribute such action to the president, of course not, but when supporters of the President are involved, it still shows an arrogance that the Republican party is know for , either it be supporters or the party itself.
