Voter fraud, shady deals and all kinds of other chicanery are probably as old as politics itself, and probably no party in America has a monopoly on the practice, but when you consider recent history it's hard not to point a finger. The Democrats are still crying that George Bush stole the election in 2000, but what happened there was so obvious that anyone except a mindless liberal knows who really was trying to steal it.
In 1948 Lyndon Johnson was in a very tight race for a Senate seat from Texas. Both sides were accused of stuffing ballot boxes and the race ended in a dead heat. Then late returns from the little town of Alice in south central Texas miraculously showed up (just like some other ballots in Wisconsin a couple years ago). Two hundred three votes appeared, 202 of them votes for Johnson. What made the ballots even more interesting was that the voters had somehow miraculously lined up in alphabetical order to cast their votes. Sheriff deputies were sent to investigate and found that nearly all of the 202 votes were cast by either dead people, or people who were out of town and hadn't actually voted. A subpoena was issued to confiscate the records, but the night before the deputies returned, the courthouse mysteriously burned down and all the records with it. Johnson won the election by 87 votes.
Fast forward to Florida's Dade County in 2000. Florida had gone for Bush by a little over 2,000 votes, low enough that an automatic recount was initiated. The recount finally centered around three south Florida counties, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach. The controversy developed around "hanging chads" in Miami-Dade where panels inspecting the ballots tried to decide if a ballot with no vote for president was actually intended to be cast for Gore. The ballots were recounted three times, each time coming up with more Gore votes than before. The Democrats then also tried to get all overseas ballots disqualified which would have disallowed military votes which went overwhelmingly for Bush. After the third recount failed to overturn the election, the Supreme Court of the United States finally ruled the election over and Bush won by 574 votes.
Then there was the famous 2008 comedy election in Wisconsin in which Al Franken, a washed up Saturday Night Live comedian, really did steal an election. Having lost by over 700 votes, uncounted ballots began mysteriously appearing in the trunks of Democrat polling officers' cars all over the state. Funny again that none of these late forgotten ballots went for the Republican candidate. Franken finally had a 200 vote lead and the Wisconsin judge, a liberal Democrat appointee, certified Franken the winner. That truly was a stolen election.
But voter fraud in 2008 didn't stop with Franken. Obama's community organizing group, ACORN, drove unregistered, homeless people to polling stations in several counties in several states to cast their votes multiple times. This was the organization from which the man who promised to be the most transparent president in history gained all of the experience that "qualified" him to be president.
And now they're at it again. This last weekend in Yuma, Arizona, the Yuma Recorder's office was checking 3,000 last minute voter registrations turned in by Mi Familia Vota, a SEIU partner organization, and found 65% of them to be fraudulent due to the registrants not being citizens, or having false addresses or signatures. At the same time a judge threw out 6,000 registrations turned in by the same organization in Colorado.
This illustrates precisely why John Adams said, "We have created a government for a religious and moral people. It will work for none else." A religious and moral people will have the self-discipline to be honest and not cheat in an election. This is what the Tea Party activists and other conservatives are wanting the country to get back to; the Godly values and honest living of our Founders. For that liberals call us extremists and every other low-down name in the book.
What a sad commentary on the Democrat way of life, a life characterized by lying, scheming, stealing and voter fraud. What a legacy to leave their children. And what a challenge for us to remain forever vigilant so that we will remain forever free.
Hi Lance,
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about this. Rush said today that a lady in Nevada reported about fraudulent activities. When she inserted the electronic voting card into the computer, the circle next to Harry Reid's name was already selected. This tells me that the program itself was defaulted to select Harry Reid instead of his opponent Sharon Angle. Each election needs to be a blow out or we WILL have another Al Franken debacle. DL
We don't get Rush over here which is too bad, but this illustrates exactly what I'm saying. Thanks for the comment.
ReplyDeleteAs a follow up to this article, the day after I posted it reports came out of Nevada that in the early voting machines were preset to cast a senate vote for Harry Reid. I wonder who is behind this corrupted attempt to steal another election for a Democrat? The impostor Nevada Tea Party activists who are trying to derail Sharron Angle's campaign? Or could Harry Reid himself be behind this? Wake up liberals! If they can steal the election, they will steal your bank account through taxes and eventually everything you own.
