Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 07:42 PM by 1corona4u
I am going to start an email campaign, and in it, I am going to included all of the conspriracy theories floating around here. Racism, voter fraud, bad counting, etc., and tell everyone to MAKE SURE YOU VOTE FOR OBAMA, because if he loses, we will NEVER hear the end of it!!!!!!

15. That's bullshit.

The exit polls matched. I'm not sure where you got that graphic, but the real numbers have been posted here already.

19. The exit polls from CNN. A number of other outfits had different results
Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 08:06 PM by Wolsh
There were exit polls that showed Kerry losing Ohio as well, yet the fight continued.

I don't buy it here, but the "SHUT UP, NO ONE NEEDS TO COUNT THE VOTES!!!" attitude is stupid.

25. Uh, correct me if I'm wrong...
Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 08:10 PM by 1corona4u
but weren't the votes counted already???? If there was an issue, then why has no one come forward with it??? I think if Obama thought there was a fraud, he would surely be speaking out about it. There's no way he would let this go by, right??

Whatever. Back to the topic----

28. Remember Sore/Loserman?
Like I said, I do NOT think there was vote tampering last night, but I do think it may have happend in the past during GEs.

Now, for the sake of argument, lets say that Team Obama believes that the votes may have been fucked with. How do you, or anyone else know, that they aren't looking into it QUIETLY. No use coming forward now, and being labled like Gore was, no matter how right you are. If 2000 taught us anything, its wait until you have all the facts.

As far as I know, the vote has no been certified yet (most aren't for 7-30 days after the election)

34. I'm calling bullshit
I've been with Obama since the start, but this chart is tinfoil hat nonsense.

The communities that still utilize a handcount are concentrated in rural parts of Cheshire, Grafton, and Carroll Counties. The Democrats in many of these towns tend to be more educated, more socially liberal, anti-war, reform Democrats. Bill Bradley and Howard Dean both did well in these places as well. What it boils down to is that by virtue of demographic and political factors, Obama happens to run stronger in most of the paper ballot towns. The machine count includes cities like Manchester, Nashua, and Salem, where the party hacks are better organized.

3. Love your sig line btw....
...on Vinegar Hill, the fatal conclave./ Terraced thousands died, shaking scythes at canon./ The hillside blushed, soaked in our broken wave./ They buried us without shroud or coffin/ And in August the barley grew up out of the grave. Seamus Heaney

10. I'll tell you what raised my eyebrow today....
I hardly ever watch local TV, but Roody was in town today, so they were running his commercials. Take a look at this bullshit, fear mongering crap;

17. I watch maybe 2 hours of TV a week
never the news unless there some type of disaster that I need information about (like highway collapse or storm closures)
I know Rudy from my years in NYC.

Rudy doesn't have anything going for him but fear.

Hard to do the family values with his divorces, astranged children, and trying to move his mistress into his house while his wife was still there.

He's had criminal indictments of his nearest and dearest so integrity ain't gonna fly
He's got malfeasances of public funds

All he's got is he's Mayor 9/11.

And I thank him for his service on 9/11. But I didn't like him before 9/11 and I don't like him after 9/11

12. Then you were treating politics as a game from the outset. If you cared about issues...
you wouldn't give a flying turd how people on a message board acted.

what would life be like if he loses? I know I don't want to hear it day in and day out!! This will turn off voters in a BIG way, and his supporters, and JJJ for that matter, better watch what they say, or he will go down, and sooner rather than later.

6. The voter fraud people are separate
It isn't fair to dump all of them on the Obama campaign because this is just what they do.

In reality, Oregon has an automatic hand count sample to verify elections. There's no reason not to do his everywhere.

14. Make sure you include this one....
I think it sums it up nicely.....
I think this type of crap about black voting for a person because he is black is RACIST. AND I HOPE THAT SINCE YOU THINK THIS IS THE WAY TO GO....WHITE PEOPLE VOTE FOR WHITE CANDIDATES BECAUSE THEY ARE WHITE....25% of the people in this country are blackhttp://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4014875

......easy peasy..but... "VOTER FRAUD" is the wrong slur. It is "Conspiracy Theorist"...and those are people that can recall past elections, and the numerous problems we have had in our unique system of computerized voting system..you know scientists, computer experts, those who certify voting machines...all those whack-jobs. If you're going to fling the shit...get the lingo down.

16. The only issue with that quote is...
black people are only 12%, not 25% of the population. But I can easily correct that;


People QuickFacts USA
Population, 2006 estimate 299,398,484

Population, percent change, April 1, 2000 to July 1, 2006 6.4%

Population, 2000 281,421,906

Persons under 5 years old, percent, 2006 6.8%

Persons under 18 years old, percent, 2006 24.6%

Persons 65 years old and over, percent, 2006 12.4%

Female persons, percent, 2006 50.7%

White persons, percent, 2006 (a) 80.1%

Black persons, percent, 2006 (a) 12.8%

No, but I voted for him in the GE. I was not happy about him doing that, but in my mind this is different. With Kerry, it was republickin/democrat. This is deomcrat/democrat.

I just don't think ANY of our candidates are about stealing an election. I just don't.

33. Who is saying 'stole the election'
it's the lack of verification. Why is that so hard to get? Can no one ask for verification of a vote count without being labeled a 'sore loser', or a 'vote fraud freak'..A definitive fix, to the lack of confidence would be to hand-count a percentage of votes in "every" election. Imagine that? Open source code, and paper ballots. No problem....maybe the next state..or the state after that..or...maybe we'll find out again in the general election. That was so much fun the last time!!

24. Quit your cryin
Since Biden dropped out all I've seen from most of the Bidenites on this board is sour grapes.

Bitch about this.

Bitch about that.

Bitch about everything.

Yeesh!!!!

Take some time off and get away from this place for a few days. One minute it's that the party is stupid for not selecting that turkey of candidate and for months you all complained on the DU Biden group about people bashing your candidate (Even if it was primarily on the issues and his questionable statements).

Seriously.

Go for a walk.

Biden is not the president and never will be president. Folks will go about their business and live their lives regardless. Life goes on.
