Lead story on Faux News this morning... |
|
Vote fraud in different states...the reporter is holding 800 forms that appear to be fraudulent...
Are they desperate or what? No mention of the debate..lol
It's all about painting ACORN as the bad guys and trying to imply that the Dems are behind it.
So, when Obama wins it will be because of voter fraud...watch.

1. Who cares? They say that every time a Dem stomps their dick in the dirt |
|
The fact that they're even on about this shows that they're setting up an excuse for their loser base so they can pretend that they still side with a "majority."
These people are collapsing monumentally. I'd help 'em down with an elbow rather than worrying about what their latest whine might be.

3. Not that I advocate fraud from either party, but |
|
for the past eight years all I've heard, when people complained about election fraud was "Get over it".
I'd love to be able to say, "Remember when you told us to get over it"?
Well, guess what.....

4. I think they're setting themselves up so that regardless of how much Obama wins by |
|
They will litigate the results up to the SC, where McCain can be handed the presedency by them. I hate to be doomy and gloomy, but it is what I think. They know that the sheep won't rebel, and the few that do can be taken care of.

The horse-race analogy is no longer believable so now they're going with "voter fraud".

8. Glenn Beck (CNN) was ranting about Obama supporters and voter fraud too |
|
Glenn Beck was slamming efforts to let people who have had to move from foreclosed homes be able to vote at their old precinct on election day if they no longer live in that home due to foreclosure. He was framing his remarks in a blatantly racist partisan manner as if all of the people who were foreclosed on and show up at the polls with an address change would be Obama voters and doing something improper. He was totally disgusting in his remarks, not explaining that many voters of all political views show up on election day at the precinct of an old address and they are able to vote through various procedures depending on their location.

9. It's FAUX, people. Of course they're saying that. |
|
Are any of the other networks picking it up? I didn't think so.

10. It's the latest weapon in the GO-Facist arsenal. |
|
Dino Rossi did it here in the gubernatorial election when it was close. He cried about how there were "dead people" registered, etc etc and had the election tied up in court for months, even after Christine Gregoire was inaugurated.

If you look at the right-wing sites and their buddies in the PUMAsphere, you'll see that they're already building up ACORN and "voter fraud" as the excuse to explain how Obama "stole" the election.
It's not surprising Faux is doing the same
