Wow, this must have been really funny before Obama won. Now y’all actually have to run a governement instead of spending 8 years whining about how the election was supposedly stolen. Of course, so far, all y’all have done is blame all your problems on the last president.

FOX News comes to mind. They’re part of the “media,” last I checked. And they’re very obviously biased toward the red.

Er yeah, and I am a software engineer and I can say it is equally easy to make a voting machine do whatever the hell you want it to. The point is if there’s no paper trail no one has anyway of checking. And yeah, go get that job as an “analyst” at Fox.

“AFTER fraudulently registering homeless and mentally-ill “voters” in Ohio and elsewhere, ACORN transported them to the polls, thereby facilitating voter FRAUD.”

So…the fact that Michigan voters are LEGALLY allowed to list park benches as their address, thus allowing them AS A CITIZEN to vote…that’s fraud?

And if being mentally ill precludes one from voting, why does it not preclude one from RUNNING FOR OFFICE?

There have already been early voters in Virginia who said that the machines weren’t counting their votes. Guess who they intended to vote for! (I’ll give you a hint. It starts with an “O” and rhymes with “your mama”)

A little explanation:
1 – People troll
2 – Democrats are people
3 – Republicans are people

therefor, both democrats and republicans troll.

We have heard that canard since 2000, and it is a clever micromanagement of facts. Yes, we are a republic, but that does not mean people do not get any vote whatsoever. The current Constitution as amended mandates that each registered voter gets one vote for the electors in his or her state for a particular candidate. Though the Constitution does not mandate that elector then vote for that candidate, such a defection has only rarely happened.

Additionally, a republic in which its people regularly vote is considered by definition a democratic republic. While you throw out snarky little *HINTS*, here’s one for you: go read a history book.

If it helps, I’m a computer science major and it is incredibly easy to make voting machines reliable and maintain the secrecy of voting. Also, it would probably mean the end of democrats in office, but only because you would actually have to be a citizen to vote, you could only vote once, and you would be unable to stuff the ballot box. Sorry.

Now it is easier to understand the election system. That chart really made it happen for me. Thanks!

p.s. Is there a chart for how many votes machines handle before they start overheating and smoking afterward? Oh. I didn’t mean it to come out that way. Sorry.

If it helps, the whole point of the Electoral Congress is to prevent
the Public from screwing things up by voting.

So, it’s not like the voting machine is doing anything that we haven’t
done manually for the last 230 or so years…

I’m afraid he has a point, Mikka. The conservatives have done as much, if not in fact more, trolling in this thread as the liberals have. You’re going to have to get rid of them through convincing them, not hypocrisy.

By: Winter

I find it difficult to believe such hearsay just on your word, especially in a campaign where so many falsehoods and rumors are flying around. If you can provide specific, reliable evidence for this claim I would be more than willing to believe it.

Part of my doubt also comes from the fact that voting requires some sort of identification and indication of age, something I highly doubt the homeless people would have. This will also need to be addressed to earn my belief.

By: Winter

Winter — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 21:34:36 +0000

Not entirely true. Much of the media as we have come to know it is owned and controlled by corporations. Corporations have a significant stake in the success of the Republican party, due to repeated legislation the party has made in their benefit. Because of this bias and the ease in which said corporations are able to control what reaches the viewer, your “media” bar would be significantly, if not mostly, red.

By: Winter

Winter — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 21:29:28 +0000

I have no party affiliations, but I see several logical fallacies in this post but need to be addressed.

That would have been a valid argument, had the Nazi’s been in power at the time that Obama gave his speech. The Nazi’s are long dead, last time I checked, while ACORN is still relevant.

In addition, you’ve created a double standard. In your reasoning, we can’t blame McCain for speaking at an ACORN function, and openly expressing his supporting their work while doing so, but we can blame Obama for his support of ACORN. If you intend to sway others in the field of politics, I recommend avoiding such hypocrisy.

What Kayla says is true, as far as it goes. Read my comments above for some of the rest of the story.

By: ryszard

ryszard — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 17:06:22 +0000

Correction: that should read “voter REGISTRATION fraud”.

Kayla and Jules–and AFTER fraudulently registering homeless and mentally-ill “voters” in Ohio and elsewhere, ACORN transported them to the polls, thereby facilitating voter FRAUD. ACORN were also responsible for moving some of their “activists” into New York and Ohio (at least), renting a house, registering and then FRAUDULENTLY voting as “residents”.

In Illinois, a state representative had passed a measure allowing homeless to register using a park bench as their “home address” so they could vote–without establishing true residency or other requirements (age, criminal status, etc.).

By: ryszard

ryszard — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 16:58:16 +0000

Mike–Google “ACORN voter registration fraud”. You’ll find everything you’re looking for.

Jules–Re: “Obama didn’t have anything to do with that . . .”: He was their freakin’ lawyer in Chicago, and steered nearly a million dollars to them while serving on the foundation board with Bill Ayers. ACORN committed the “largest case of voter fraud in the State of Washington in 2006″, and is currently under investigation in 15 states for same.

But McCain spoke at one of their functions, making him a supporter. Right. Obama spoke in Germany once, so I guess that makes him a Nazi sympathizer?
