Call me a fruitcake...
A thought just crossed my mind.

You know how the repugs are all up on vote fraud now and basically framing it as an issue? While their real issue is to make it harder for people to vote. Because the less people who vote make it easier for them to win elections.

Here is where the tinfoil comes in.

Say Leiberman wins tomorrow. It becomes obvious there was vote fraud of some sort and Lamont goes all out and calls them on it. Basically proving vote fraud, or election fraud.

The repugs then get to use the issue against the dems, saying it is dems who are fraudulent during elections. And they are then able to get legislation passed to make it harder for people to vote. Win Win for them. And a disaster for dems.

I know, I know, but the thought crossed my mind, sorry!

1. Ya fruitcake
Oh wait, that was metaphorical. My bad.

This would fit perfectly with the classic Repuke strategy of blame the victim for the crime.

2. Here's another idea
:tinfoilhat:

Election fraud comes up by either party just before the November elections and is used as a reason to suspend elections? '06 or '08; which you think it might be?

A quick question for ya....ever think you'd be having these kinds of thoughts?

3. Yep, could definitely happen.
Anything could, I don't put one thing past these people. They have evil minds.

7. Gee, er, thanks.
I've been tracking their strategy for far too many years. Guess some of it's rubbed off. Only way to know what to watch for..."know thy enemy."

4. If the Dems were fraudulent in Nov 2004
why isn't Kerry president?

6. That's not what I'm saying of course.
But 'ol Joe might be an unwitting player in it all.

And the repugs might would sell him down the river.
