The Good 'ol Days of Voter Fraud?

Just my humble opinion but I would have to say that those investigating those frauds were the liberal media. Why would they even try to investigate or implicate "their" party for using fraud to win elections? They have more to gain by ignoring or not reporting any infractions, and let's face it both parties are just as crooked as the other. There is no true common man's party anymore. Those who believe there is still one party representing the middle class or working class are greatly deluded by either tradition or media hype.

I agree. I certainly believe that both sides resort to all sorts of sordid tactics with regards to voting schemes. I am also certain that both sides are knowledgable of the other's doings. What I am not certain about is why when the Republican's lost they didn't deluge the media channels with accusations of voter fraud by the Democrats? Popular belief has the most watched, largest and highest rated cable news network...FOX News...as a giant tool for the Right....so why wasn't this huge media juggernaut mobilized? Are Democrats more whiny? Are Republicans more shady?

Historically, its been tne Democrats most associated with voter fraud like Cooke County in Illinois or in the South. Our dead were so patriotic they continued voting for years past their demise.

The Democraps have a history of voter fraud:

- dead people voting in Chicago....No wonder they do not want folks to have to show ID when they go vote. That would stop all the voter fraud, or at least 95% of it....I think it common sense and should be law. If you can't afford ID, then the gov't will supply you with one. The ones who can't afford it need to get off their lazy, welfare butt sitting on the couch and be present when told to get the permit.

- signing up illegal aliens to vote. I personally witnessed that this past April in D.C. at the illegal alien rally I had the displeasure of wading through after leaving the Smithsonian air and space museum...

- in 2000, Algore wanted all absentee ballots w/o a certain potal stamp tossed. Thing was, all the ballots he had in question came from overseas..the vast majority military. Soldiers do not pay postage to mail stuff back home from APO/FPO post offices. Therefore, they didn't have the postmark most mail have if mailed in the U.S.

Actually I don't think the news was "inundated with headline after headline predicting massive voter fraud and disenfranchisement." I don't remember too many articles about it and I have read that the news was once again ignoring the issue. There were an occasional article about concerns by voter groups and I know articles about a couple of states that dropped the electronic voting machines and went back to the old machines, like Maryland and a couple articles on California revamping it's system and others like New York refused to switch by the date set by congress and was either fined or denied aid to help them switch.

I suppose someone can do a Nexus search and see how many articles there actually were. Maybe FAIR or Media Matters or the Institute For Public Integrity has something in their archives.

I know the news was quick to headline Cheney and Limbaugh and others saying the polls were wrong and the republicans would win and that caused a lot of voter concern.

I know that Greg Palast was reporting that the voter roles were purged in a number of states before the election.

I do know that the democrats were more prepared this time and did send out a massive amount of Lawyers and poll watchers which was probably the reason there was a lot less fraud. They were prepard this time and made sure all districts had enough working machines and with back up plans if the machines broke down, like they did in 2000 and 2004. In very close races, like Virginia and others the democrats were right on top of the situation this time and left no openings for fraud. I think the election was too closely monitored for the republicans to get away with it this time.

There are two books out about how the republicans stole both elections, one by Palast on the 2000 election and one on 20004 by Mark Quspin Miller called "None Dare Call It Stolen." The evidence is very clear that they stole 2000 and 2004. It has been described as a military coup, which is probably a very close description of what happened, except they failed to complete their agenda and it blew up in their faces. They just couldn't get away with it and were voted out by a concerned public.
Too greedy, corrupt, arrogant and incompetent.

There was fraud in 2006 Florida congressional race to were the republican squeaked through and later they found out something like 1800 votes went unaccounted for or there was 1800 negative votes. The democrats
have file a law suit on this case.

What media do you think is liberal? I know you will say cnn like I would say fox is Conservative far right. But who else?

Correct me if I am wrong, but are you saying that because of the watchful and honorable eye of operatives of the Democratic Party is why we did not see anticipated voter fraud on a massive scale? And is this why we have not been deluged with stories and 'interviews' of disenfranchised voters since November...because of the honorable, trustworthy Democrats? You say FOX News is a tool of the 'far right.' Why then have the five top rated cable news shows (all on FOX) not gone overboard whining and 'reporting' about the scandalous Democrats and how they 'stole' the election? Do you think if James Webb(D) would have lost to George Allen(R) in VA by 8000 votes that he would have conceded the election for the sake of the process? LOL, surely you will not answer 'yes' to that? Could it be, instead, that class has anything to do with it? What one does in defeat speaks volumes of his character, no?



btw....it is Mark Crispin Miller.. not "Quspin" and his book was fascinating, if not totally wrong, but entertaining nonetheless.

Well, with the help of Governor Riley, William Smith FINALLY landed a seat somewhere. It's sad that the Governor did not allow an election to fill the seat on Lauderdale County's Commission, instead of appointing a low-profile Republican hack for Mr. Curtis' place. I encourage all of the County residents to begin working now to regain control of their Commission, and not let Bob Riley get away with
something or someone that the voters have already soundly defeated twice before!

William was not defeated in an election for county commission. An election for one county commission seat is to expensive.
