"Freepers Against Voter Fraud"? They're kidding, right?

Just paid my first-ever visit to Hell (a/k/a freerepublic.com), and couldn't believe that they have page called "Freepers Against Voter Fraud":

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/search?s=FReepers+Against+Voter+Fraud&ok=Search&m=all&o=time

Are these, um, people familiar with Katherine Harris, Jeb Bush, Tom DeLay, the U.S. Supreme Court, or black box voting? Talk about selective blindness...!

1. election fraud is a non-partisan issue
and if there are Freepers who are concerned about it then I'll take that as a good thing.

2. It's called projection.
They know they do it, so they think everyone else does, and that everyone else does it worse.

They are seriously under the impression that blacks and illegal immigrants vote dozens of times in every single election, oblivious to the fact that the last thing any illegal immigrant wants to do it get anywhere within 10 miles of a US govt office, and that it's all most people can do to bother voting once.

They (the pukies) are fighting to DEMAND, DEMAND that voters show a picture ID at polling places, but they are all for absentee ballots, which could be ordered by the dozen and filled in by anyone with a hand and a pen.

They believe (no proof, at all, just ask) that voter fraud by Democrats is rampant. Their most convincing 'proof' of fraud was in South Dakota, where the Democratic Party hired people to register voters and paid them for every registration card they received. Well, some crook decided to forge some cards on her own, to defraud the Democratic Party. Even though this in no way would have helped Democrats (if someone is fraudulently registered, they wouldn't know they were registered, and obviously wouldn't vote) Republicans claim this was an attempt by the Democratic Party to commit fraud.

4. fraud
Yes, they justify it by saying "well, they do it more, so we just have to try to keep things in balance."

Just like they say Fox News is "fair and balanced -- balanced by providing conservative viewpoints against the other 'LIBERAL' networks, that is."

They lie for themselves, and they lie TO themselves.

5. Freepers
Have you ever seen them "freep" an online pole. Yes, integrity is a big thing with freepers. Notice how they all rally around Rush. Maid passed a polygraph makes no difference to them. He is still their El Rushbo. They are true sheep.

3. If by voter fraud, you mean Mexicans voting or Democratic victories,
than you're wrong.

6. I've yet to meet a rePIGlican who was concerned about election fraud
In fact, one person to whom I expressed concern following Selection 2000 dismissed the issue completely, saying, "Democrats wouldn't be at all concerned about it if Al Gore had won."

This is the prevalent attitude amongst conservatives: It's not how you play the game, it's whether you win or lose. To hell with human rights, as long as you're winning.

They are the most unpatriotic sons of bitches on the planet, and to add insult to injury, they drape their anti-American sentiments in Old Glory whilst singing "God Bless America". Those rePIGlicans who aren't suffering from mere stupidity are evil, plain and simple. These selfish whores care nothing for their countrymen and everything for their billfolds.

I wish Lush Limpballs would read this, print it out, and shove it up his Nazi ass.
