Lucy pulls the football from the DUmmies, again

One of the conspiracy theories the DUmmies hold dear is the idea that Pres. Bush stole the 2000 and 2004 elections, so you can imagine their joy when finally someone is convicted for playing games with the votes in Ohio in 2004. Only, from this thread, things don't quite go as planned...

Verdict Is In: Two Ohio Workers Found Guilty Of Rigging Vote Recount In 2004
well well well....

FINALLY! GUILTY! (but we already knew that)

yesterday: "CLEVELAND (AP) -- A jury on Tuesday started to decide whether three election workers in the state's most populous county illegally rigged what was supposed to be a random sample recount in the 2004 presidential election to avoid a time-consuming hand count of all votes.

today:
"CLEVELAND - Two election workers in the state's most populous county were convicted Wednesday of illegally rigging the 2004 presidential election recount so they could avoid a more thorough review of the votes."

6. When God kisses Satan's tail
Sorry for the graphic image but "When Hell freezes over" would be far sooner than I expect.

The media and every single politician has a vested interest in covering this up very fast and very deep. It will never see the light of day in any mainstream media outlet.

8. We have Keith Olbermann
Edited on Wed Jan-24-07 05:28 PM by 90-percent
Of anybody in MSM, Keith has the highest probability of mentioning this ACT OF TREASON AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE on his show.

In the name of our Founding Fathers, I hope Keith features it tonight!

Then, oops, who let this in?

7. Their count favored Kerry by 17 votes.
From the article:

Special prosecutor Kevin Baxter, who was brought in from Erie County to handle the case, did not claim the workers' actions affected the outcome of the election - Kerry gained 17 votes and Bush lost six in the county's recount.

<
Ohio law states that during a recount each county is supposed to randomly count at least 3 percent of its ballots by hand and by machine. If there are not discrepancies in those counts, the rest of the votes can be recounted by machine. A full hand-count is ordered if two random samples result in differences.

This case doesn't support the larger one that Ohio was rigged for Bush. It only supports the case that Ohio, at least in Cayahuga County, was fishy.

Darn

Sick MFers: Happy Dead Ford Day

Sorry for the language, but one thing that really pisses me off is that the Left can claim to be beacons on tolerance and compassion and then they get away with saying sick things about Republicans, especially those who are ill, dying or dead. That brings us to this shining example of DUmmie compassion:

Happy dead Ford day: nation mourns sad state of media
Good thing today was declared a holiday so the MSM could propagandize the hell out of a guy's death and use it to rewrite history. All it's doing is ramming home the idea of what sellout whores our big media outlets are. Say what you want to about Ford, pay your respects in your own way but, don't lie to me over and over and over again and expect me to believe it just because you repeat the lie a 1000 times.

6. Our nation is sick and I'm just pointing it out
This entire use of Ford's death to lie to the American people is what's really sick.

18. I didn't declare it a holiday, get mad at who did
the repuke-in-chief.

I think it's sick, insanely sick which is why I pointed it out. Like I said, pay your respects in any way you want to but don't lie to me while you're doing it.

A man is dead and our pathetic media and "leader" is going to use it to lie to us -- THAT IS WHAT IS SICK.

7. Love the repukes, do you?
Anyone who collaborates with them in any way is no better than the Vichy-French.

5. Any day a repuke dies (or is buried) is a good day to celebrate.
Though it's been hard, I managed to avoid the circle jerk of the media's ford-a-thon all weekend (including yesterday).

The high-point of the POS's life was the fame he got from Chevy Chase accurately aping his clumsiness.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.
