they still can't move on (dot ORG)

HEADLINE: Democrats find voting problems in Ohio. Shocker. This is news for the Washington Post?

Democrats will find a problem any time people aren't fooled into their tree-hugging patchouli scented hocus pocus. Nuance just didn't cut it last year. Reality check here, is it almost July or is that just me?

Perhaps in the Wikipedia entry for "sore loser" a picture of the jackass (symbol of the Democratic party) would suffice.

Indulge me for a moment here...

More than a quarter of voters, and more than half of black voters, experienced problems at Ohio polling places during the 2004 presidential vote, a Democratic Party report said on Wednesday.

Interestingly enough ALL of these disenfranchised voters planned to vote for Kerry, of course. Not a single Bush voter in Ohio had problems, long lines or an encounter with a poorly trained election official.

Behold! Another glorious Rovian miracle!!

I was a bad winner, I admit it. I've finally moved on and gracefully accepted that we won. I even took my W '04 sticker off my front door. Gloating is fun, but at some point good manners must prevail.

When will the libzillas finally reach the grief stage of loss?

And people wonder why I don't have much to say these days...

I thought I was seeing an old story that somehow slipped onto the newswire.

I wonder how dean gets by the fact (same report) that black voter turn-out was at 66% in Ohio (12% higher than 2000) six points higher than the national turn out for A-Americans even though blacks account for just 11.5% of Ohios population, but 12.3% of the entire U.S..

Ken Blackwells spokesman sums it up this way; "This report belongs in history's trash bin right next to Howard Dean's failed tenure as DNC chair. Dean is a national disgrace."

M it's nice to have you back, I was so bleary eyed earlier I couldn't even spell my name, but hey I still managed to debunk Dean before 8AM. Have a nice day!

MOXIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Glad your back. Missed you. I am glad the sacrifice worked. I knew it would. I was preparing to have the help pave my neighbors garden and start another tire fire. Thanks Mox

Elections in Ohio are managed locally, so...the Democratic precincts which had long lines and inefficient polling booths were being managed by Democrats.

Gee Democrat controlled operations are inefficient...That is so surprising!

Hey, Moxie!!!
I can't believe all that's happened these past few weeks...
I got a blog (COUGH!) shameless promotion (COUGH!) complete with trolls, allies and regulars (reagan80 kicked some serious ass for me).
Anyhow, keep on truckin', Mox.

If you can spare the bumper sticker, I'll take it and a dozen more. For some reason, the Shia and Kurds that I run into love President Bush. Go figure...

Hey and look they're the same people who value and utilize democracy, coincidence? I think not!

Posted by: EdSpecial at June 25, 2005 11:22 AM

Yeah, hey, who cares about democracy as long as your guy wins, right? Voting accuracy--that is so '90s!

May you all be horribly disfigured in chemical fires.

Aw, poor dumbass doesn't like the turn of events lately. Here, choke on these appetizers:

I wonder how Mr. Ass feels about the main course of delicious ownage:

[After Bill Clinton was re-elected over Bob Dole, this was the unemployment trend for our country:

Year/Month/Unemployment Rate

1996/11/ 5.4
1996/12/ 5.4
1997/01/ 5.3
1997/02/ 5.2
1997/03/ 5.2
1997/04/ 5.1
1997/05/ 4.9
1997/06/ 5.0


After George W. Bush was re-elected, this is the current unemployment trend:

Year/Month/Unemployment Rate

2004/11/ 5.4
2004/12/ 5.4
2005/01/ 5.2
2005/02/ 5.4
2005/03/ 5.2
2005/04/ 5.2
2005/05/ 5.1

I wonder how many of the Bush-haters voted for Dole in '96 since they think the current economy is so unbearable when it is almost identical to the state of Clinton's economy.]

Hey, Dumbass, it is Demrods like you who are far more likely to cuffer chemical burns while lighting your crack pipe than we clean, pure, upright conservatives are. Go late term abort yourself. Need to borrow a coat hanger?

Posted by: Bane at June 26, 2005 11:43 AM

Hey Dumbass- When you said "chemical fires", did you mean somthing akin to the chemical attack that S. Hussein launched against Halabja (a civilian target if ever there was one) killing five thousand people as the sun rose?

I call my dog dumbass, I can see now he'll be needing a new nickname.

Posted by: chris at June 26, 2005 11:25 PM

Yeah. Clearly that's the most important thing going on right now. Can't imagine why you might not want to talk about anything, um, more... current.


Perhaps like the fact that your idiot man-chieftan's 2nd Term poll numbers are as the lowest since Nixon?


Perhaps like the fact that it's dreadfully clear to everyone who doesn't think Brad, Angelina, Jacko and Tom are "Current Events" that we were deliberately lied into a war that is as we speak taking the lives of young Americans- whose numbers won't be replaced any time soon, because despite the military's increasingly desperate recruitment tactics -"It's a rave, not Iraq!"- most kids in this country are way too smart to sign up for the kind of brutal duty most neocons and their draft age, able bodied offspring (How 'bout it- you seem healthy. You ready to put your Bush-Boosting money where your mouth is and enlist? ...yeah, I thought not) wouldn't touch with a ten foot long, yellow, "support our troops" magnet.


So, right, blather on about how ridiculous it is that anyone might question the deliberate disenfranchisement activities of someone like Ohio SOS Ken Blackwell, how absurd that us "libzillas" might wonder why some people in Dem. Precincts had eleven hour waits to vote while Republican precints were given more machines... And by the way, 'Mahatma' (cough)- it wasn't "Democratic mismanagement" that had anything to do with what went down in Ohio. Again, if you had been paying attention to anything except Sean Hannity's shellacked-on hairdon't, you might have found out that Mr. Blackwell -that is, Republican Secretary of State and Bush Campaign official Ken Blackwell- was directly responsible for what went down in Ohio, including widespread invalidation of Voter Registrations (in other states, this job was freelanced out to GOP financed groups like Nathan Sproul's "America Votes"), the moving and closing of polling places in Democratic areas, and general shoddy election management which invariably worked in Bush's favor.

But, yeah, I'm ready to move on. Move on to impeachment, which is -with what they've done to our constitution, our system of Democracy, our economy, our deficit, our treasury, our environment, and our reputation around the world- the very least this criminal disaster of an administration deserves.

Hairy Turtle:

"But, yeah, I'm ready to move on. Move on to impeachment, which is -with what they've done to our constitution,"

Last time I checked, the liberals on the Supreme Court screwed over everybody's property rights by allowing businesses like Wal-Mart to use the gov't to forcefully broker to real estate owners to sell their properties at undervalued prices. When Bush suspends Habeas Corpus like Lincoln did during the Civil War, then you can get back to me on "shredding the Constitution".


"our system of Democracy,"

http://bush-wins.ytmnd.com/

You can cry about Republican "vote suppression" in Ohio as long as you want, but that won't explain why the GOP gained more seats in both houses of Congress in the rest of the states. Get over it because the Republicans won DECISIVELY over the Democrats in '04.


"our economy,"

Even though he ripped me off, look at Spanky's post. The monthly unemployment rate trend is almost identical to Clinton's when he got re-elected. Besides, look at the crappy EU unemployment(8.9%) and economic growth rates(1.1%-1.7%), then compare them to ours(5.1% and 3.5% respectively). BTW, Canada has a 6.8% unemployment rate if you decide to seek sanctuary from conservative ownage.


"our deficit,"

You mean the deficit that is currently declining?

http://quote.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=10000006&sid=agnjCbIIBXtU&refer=home


"our treasury,"

Oh, you miss the "Clinton surplus"? Guess what? It wasn't really his to begin with:

http://www.cato.org/dailys/10-08-98.html


"our environment,"

Screwing over the environment is a bipartisan effort. If George Bush(or John Kerry?) had to choose between saving the environment at the expense of industrial jobs or loosening environmental regulations in order to get more work for unemployed people, he would choose relaxing the restrictions on industry. The environment can't vote, but the unemployed workers that were axed by companies saddled with such costly eco-mandates will.


"and our reputation around the world- the very least this criminal disaster of an administration deserves."

Boohoohoohoo. I don't care. The lilliputians of Europe and elsewhere didn't like us while we were protecting them during the Cold War and they didn't even like us when Clinton was in office, so why should I give a rat's dick about what they think of us now?

You can always spot a liberal intellectual, they're the ones quoting the Wa-Po.

Nixon was a fine president who, so far as I know never not once cheated on his wife in my oval office.

I barely know who those people are, I don't watch television, it's crap.

'as we speak taking the lives of young Americans- whose numbers won't be replaced any time soon', this has got to be my favorite............HAY HAIRY aren't you the same people who insist on teaching our children that killing babies is ok cause they're not real until you can cuddle them? There's your damn "numbers". I am aghast, you are so tragically idiotic. Here this ought to make you ashamed to be Hairy

I love the election fraud acusations. They only serve to highlight the kind of idiots that the democrats have relinquished the care of their party to. Who the hell wants to vote for canidates who's supporters insist on loudly proclaiming their ignorance of basic mathmatics.

This is my favorite assesment so far: "At 9:06 p.m. EST, the exit polls indicated that women’s votes (54 percent of the total) were going 54 percent to Kerry, 45 percent to Bush, and 1 percent to Nader; men’s votes (46 percent of the total) were breaking 51 percent to Bush, 47 percent to Kerry, and 1 percent to Nader. Kerry, in other words, was leading Bush by nearly 3 percent."...(http://globalresearch.ca/articles/KEE411A.html)

Another victim of the NEA's pet public school system I suppose.
