Why Does the GOP Hate Democracy?

So what is your excuse?

What, exactly, is a USian? I mean...we're Americans. That's not just patent-pending. Americans = Americans as much or more than Europeans = Europeans.

I wouldn't say you're slow, just that the chemical receptors at the connection points of your neural synapses are accelerationally challenged.

Sloww tags out, and his running buddy takes over.

Yo, Theben, just fuggedaboudit. You should understand that, you know....

I found this, I have no idea what this website is, and it obviously doesn't provide specifics:

http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/20070314_the_real_voter_fraud/

Whether or not its widespread to a significant degree for a national election, its a pretty tough nut to identify and prosecute successfully unless you're a convicted felon (in a state that prohibits voting felons)

Thanks.

200,000,000 votes cast since 2002. 87 cases of voter fraud that got convictions. And it does not even state how many were a result of fraudulent registrations. People voting multiple times or as dead people doesn't mean there was a fraudulent registration, after all.

That would officially make this one of the biggest non-controversies of the day.

Slow, I'm two hours ahead of you, and I've been on set all day, so this is mostly steam keeping me running...

You've never sufficiently answered why you chose to use your Slowwhand DL more often than your 1st login.

You heard it here first, folks. Apparently, Sloww is my DL. The 4 years I took off from Apolyton didn't phaze anyone...because apparently, I was still around.

News to me.

[SlowwHand]

TEF, no worries. Half of you can kick ass on most of these folks well-rested.

I'd like to see an actual, documented case of an individual being convicted of actual voter fraud, meaning that they voted using a fraudulent registration. My understanding is that such instances are virtually nonexistant, if not actually nonexistant.

Most voting fraud schemes don't involve people actually going to a precinct and signing the forms and casting a ballot using a fraudulant registration. Typically they involve precincts that have only one party with a regular oganization to provide poll workers/election judges. With their own people exclusively in charge of the voting in that precinct, all the fraud occurs after the polls are closed. The poll workers take the unvoted registrations and vote a number of them. Without the fraudulant registration, there wouldn't be enough unvoted registration to commit the voting fraud and not have the turnout for the precinct look unusually high.

This type of voting fraud is very hard to catch. If an observer of some type is present, the fraud will not happen at that precinct. But there aren't enough observers to cover all precincts.

So Theben, lets debate the quote unquote "issues".

You say

Go ahead. You'd be doing the left a favor. Maybe then Faux News would hire someone who would actually bother to drive the truck thru all Hannity's argumentative holes.

Niether I nor Slowwhand has ever explicitly agreed with Sean Hannity. To say we did discounts post upon post rejecting the dumbest portions of Faux News (which includes Steve Dooschie). In fact, I would go out on a limb to speak for both of us: Sean Hannity and Alan Combs are two total dumbasses. We would be better compared to Lou Dobbs and Anderson Cooper (just slightly less gay).

I don't see any documentation of this theory.

Do the math. 200,000,000 votes in two elections, 87 convictions.

This is not something that is remotely as widespread or worrisome as Republicans pretend. Their interest is voter suppression, which means putting up as many roadbloacks as possible to registering voters and getting them to the polls.

[SlowwHand]

Which is exactly why you need to vote Sloww/TEF in 2008. What you see is what you get. We don't have the time, nor the inclination, for bull****.
Dancing bulls with a cowboy hat, yes. Bull****, no.

I know Lou Dobbs. Lou Dobbs is one of the smarmiest *******s I most love to hate. Sloww is no Lou Dobbs.
