The only way they think they can win is to cheat, so maybe it's time for America to have some political bulimia of its own- we binged on GOP in 2010, now it's time for a nice big PURGE of our own.
Hope We are to believe dailykos. Please. BTW What about the black panthers in Philly. Your outrage is so classic and as always hypocritical
Me things tho doth protest too my Maxter. How is that selecting against your survival by supporting Right-Wing Radicals going for you ?
Don't be too hard on Maxster, Hope. I think he's just been drinking too much KOCH ZERO.
Things are good for me Hope and will be much better in November
Hahahahah David ! Exactly !
Carl Rove has been very busy as of late hasn't he! It has his prints all over this!
True Mad M. Also they are playing another game of stifling the Dems speaking in public. Just see how Romney (paid?) supporters constantly harassed David exlrod , when he was speaking and would not quit. That hateful Hannity was really having time of his miserable life and enjoying that! He played that over and over! If that is the game they want to play we should do the same, and let them know how that is. They were rude, unruly, loud and disturbing and would not allow anyone to speak! That is how Bush supporters did in Florida count.
David H @1.5 == Ha haaaa SWEET !!!
Yes. Just like they did in 2000.
Absolutely ! This was their plan in Jan 2008 at the inauguration. That was why they had all the Republican winners running for any political office in all states in 2010.... to lie while campaigning with an intentional different direction. They planned to affect all voting of all minorities, unions, redistricting, women's issues, planned parenthood, taxes, healthcare, Medicare, and numerous other issues. How did dubya do it in 2000? The same way...really...exactly what the Republicans have been doing since day one. Romney is doing it now....lying and declaring what he will do differently and lying more and more ....all the while laughing at us....all of you who are listening and believing him. Two main issues here though.....Romney ....CANNOT SEE US !!! ......So how can he be concerned enough to help us?.....HE can't and he won't......the other thing is .....that is what they do .....literally......whatever it takes....in their minds...to get to the Presidential goal....after all
Did anyone else here the George Bush ( not subliminal ) message today after Mr & Mrs President presented portraits today at the White House?......I did....he clearly stated....
Mr President...when you see me ( while pointing to his portrait) ...ask yourself " What would he [G.W.] do?........I believe he was talking to Romney........why not it worked for him in 2000 ...remember Florida, ballot counting, Gore.. Supreme court? That's how he did it.
Soldiers are giving their life for our freedom. Scott Walker is trying to take it away by taking away our right to vote.
Hell Ya I think the Republicans are trying to steal the election! I mean you have to be really stupid or you just don't care that we are going to have a 'president' that will have the economy with more damage then it already is! I just flipping pains me to see that America has changed so much in the past years. And it doesn't helped that most people don't care for who gets in office,but don't want President Obama in office again. If I can recall Bush put us (America) in the position that we are in (Debt and Jobless), NOT Obama. But we have to say Bush is just like his father... He knows how to screw up a really nice dream for America.
I have said over and over again that these GOP crazies are trying everything they can to win the white house at any cost! These extremist have really been trying to drive a deep wedge between the American people, and will stop at nothing to get this done! Don't let Florida steel another election like they did when George Bush stole the presidency. Americans United Campaign for Obama/Biden 2012... Get people who even suspect that their IDs are incorrect to take care of this now ahead of the election. Mobilize a ID Card drive for any state that is suspected of using this issue to suppress voter rights! Call your DMV and get it fixed...
Conservatives in Canada stole the election by setting up Robocalls to those who were not Conservative supporters claiming to be Elections Canada and directing those people to nonexistent polling stations.
It is thought that the Conservative Party of Canada learned learned this trick from their American Republican election and legislative advisors.
@Hope42012, RE: (Comment #1.1)
Relocate precincts for predominantly poor minority neighborhoods inconveniently far away to reach during inclement weather; especially where road-closures may make it impossible for the voter to get to the precinct before the doors close. [Used for 2004 Elections, to help ensure Bush would beat Kerry in Ohio.]
@Maxster1, RE: (Comment #1.3)
They were, essentially, nothing more than buffoons, who didn't deserve even 15 milliseconds of fame. Basically a non-story that media wasted oxygen on.
@DISGUSTED at the media/law enforcement, RE: (Comment #1.12)
Politifact has rated Romney with Pants on Fire so many times that I can't help but wonder when he'll get a "Roasted Nuts" rating for being such a profligate liar. Romney's middle name should be Pinocchio.
Not that bad of an idea. Obama could ask himself "What would G.W. do?," then check all possible responses that are as close to the opposite of that as he feels the correct response would be.
Just trying to keep the left honest.
Just trying to stop people you disagree with from coming together and communicating with each other. Nice.
Oh gee max is having delusions of being Richard Nixon again.
Its imposable to keep the RIGHT honest isn't it! I am rubber you (Maxter) are glue!
And this year all the cheating is gonna stck! The Raygun Teflon is all gone!
LOL Whomitmay. More GOP/Right-Wing Delusions.
Compared to who? The Republicans? Easy.
Maxter , STOP watching FAUX ONLY ! those Black Panters were FAKE , they DID NOT even have the RIGHT UNIFORM ! If you watched other news programs you would have seen the story about OUTING them ! You need to LOOK to the RIGHT ! That is where ALL the FAKE NEWS is coming from the RIGHT ! Just GOOGLE or YOUTUBE and you will see the RIGHT in ALL their FAKE GLORY !!!
OCCUPY the VOTE ! DEMS in White House and BOTH PARTIES !! ALL ELECTIONS MATTER no matter HOW SMALL it seems ! Look what happened in 2010 !!! And the HELL WE99% are going through because of the RIGHT wanting to GIVE the RICH 8TRILLION DOLLARS while RAISING TAXES for the POOR !!!!! WHILE TAKING AWAY from MEALS on WHEELS for the OLD and TAKE AWAY other FOOD subsidies for the WORKING POOR !! They want to TAKE AWAY SSI from those WHO NEED IT ! And MAKE THE POOR PAY MORE for HOUSING !! They want TO RAISE THE RATES for COLLEDGE BOUND !! If VOTER FRAUD WERE REAL BOTH PARTIES would be ANGRY !!
You need to keep the right honest. Oh, I forgot, 99% of Republicans politicians, don't know what the word honesty means. Notice I said Republican politicians, not Republican voters. I believe that most middle class Republican voters are honest people. Many have not realized that the Republican party of their parents generation no longer exists. Hopefully, they are seeing the greed that has overtaken the Republican politicians and will vote against the Republican politicians of today.
How can you keep someone honest when you obviously know nothing about it
Oh boy another misinformed Fox news viewer trying to pretend he understands truth. Gee how surprising is that.
Left and honest NEVER go together in the same thought process. That's why they want any and all voter ID laws done away with so they can steal election after election since the contry has movedenter-right and the anti-American liberal way of life is slowly going away.
Whom, where have you been? Glad to see you back!
I been here making fun of the mentally ill tea bagging republican Fox news viewers. How you been Val. Look at the mother goose fairy tale believer above you.
Lance still thinks its 1980. Or 1890.
He just returned from summer camp where he received a ribbon for attending camp (no particular accomplishment) and took basket weaving. His parents are very proud given his special condition.
lance is a re-reg he outed himself in another post.
"pilotguppy" LOL very hard at it.
i am making a SWAG here but with that one word others will also know you.
Whom, I am fine. Vacationed with my husband for two weeks in a condo right on the beach in Florida. Great time. However, I as irritated that I kept receiving tape recordings from Mitt Romney. I received at least two a day. Our daughter is flying up with the grandkids in a week. She will stay four days and leave the kids with us for two weeks. I think that my daughter and son in law are looking forward to a little alone time while the kids are here with us. I did see the delusional comment above mine, I don't pay attention to people who live in la la land. Good to hear from you again.
Yes. Definitely the Repubs are trying to steal the election. Since day 1 when Mr Obama became President , repubs have said that they will make President Obama a one time president. Dept of justice must get involved and ensure that repubs don't get away in trying to steal the election. Any and all those must be prosecuted.
Department of Justice can't do anything. Repubs have five trusty votes on the Supreme Court, to ensure they get anything they want.
Good luck getting support from the Dept of Justice! They are dominated by the gops too!
ED, please have someone in your technology dept. check the website. MSNBC keeps going to Yahoo and I can not get to the home page.
Republicans are liars and theives, certainly nothing resembling a christian.
Obama/Biden 2012
Yeah DemElizabeth you really sound like a Christian
Exactly Dem Elizabeth. There have been some really serious issues with getting to The Ed Show and Rachel Maddow blog sites for a week now.
Yep, Maxster, Jesus called the Sadducee's and Pharisees snakes and vipers, so yes it is christian of me to tell the republicans they are liars and thieves, which they are completely.
Obama/Biden 2012
hey Dem--I've been having the same thing happen to me.
Yes MAXTER , she DOES SOUND LIKE A CHRISTIAN !!! And REPULSICONS DONT !
ABORTIAN , Hmmmmm its MAINLY WHYITE People WHO Have MORE ABORTIANS than any OTHER RACE !! Since REPUGS are LOSING VOTERS , they want MORE WHYITE VOTERS !!!
I bet it's George Bush's fault.
I can always tell I'm on a Liberal blog because it doesn't take long to read some of the nonsense and see we're dealing with uneducated illiterate people - see examples above. You represent yourselves well as the lowly worker drones the Liberals believe you all are. Won't be long before the left assigns you a number vs. a name.
DEMELIZABETH / RACHAEL - I use GOOGLE CHROME in order to get on this site.Try that if you do have it or at least access to it.
I also use Chrome and have had no problems.
I think that the Federal Election committee should step in and shut down the Purging until after the election. Or declare Florida's votes invalid.
MELANIE MARINER - Are you talking about ALL of Florida on that one ? If so,you are going to have a lot of pissed off voters if it does happen.
Republicans keep pushing voter ID laws even though there's been no real proof that voter fraud has been a big problem. But ok any voter fraud should be prevented somehow. The problem is absolutely every time the republicans push thru a voter ID law, it does more to inhibit legitimate voters than prevent fraud.
Why not come up with a way to make sure all registered voters get an ID. Stop trying to push it thru so quickly so we can be certain everyone that has a right to vote can vote. Start the process of issuing IDs at the polls. Phase in voter IDs in a sane manner. Stop using the issue to steal another election.
It's certainly funny that anytime you hear of a voter fraud problem, it's a Republican doing it! Seems the only problem is with Repubs. Like the one that had divorced his wife in one county, moved in with his girlfriend in another county and was voting in BOTH counties, because he was on some board in the first county getting paid $1000 and he wanted to keep making that money. Leave it to a Repub, it always boils down to the money.
Exactly MLB. Can you say Republican McCotter and voter fraud ?
Had McCotter been a Floridian he probably wouldn't have been caught since republicans weren't the focus of the purge lists.
Touche !!
There has been vote COUNT fraud. If the republicans don't like the count, they change it.
Where is the HELL YES button? YES is just to meek.
XENA - What they really need is a HELL F***ING YES button on here also.
Absolutely, Republicans cannot win fairly so they have to cheat! Isn't it bad enough that they have so many money bags like the Koch brothers to buy it.
Money doesn't always BUY votes no matter how much they try to bribe you with in order for you to vote for them.
The GOP doesn't even want elections. To that crew, they are an annoying obstacle in their effort to create a Theocratic Plutocracy with the 99% acting as their serfs.
If Romney can't win the election with his odious policies, FL will try to steal it for him! Amazing. Well, the DOJ just stepped in to end that.
INDIA - Now are they going to STAY there until the election is done and over with or will they "BUG OUT" before every vote is counted ?
Hi TED, #8.2 You know, I think your guess is as good as mine! lol
Its what they always do why should anyone think it was going to change. But we can fight back!

Sign two and make up your own or vote. For the last one just for fun!
You found it way back here for a reason, I didn't want the trolls to see it.
http://www.usw12049.com/news_detail.php?id=51
Find where you vote and see a sample of your ballot.
But let's say sometime there's another recall like Walkers you may want to move to another state and say look for a job and it doesn't pan out and you have to move back....you need to un-register and register in the new state before you can help.(vote) NOTE IN A PRIMARY ELECTION YOU CAN NOT VOTE ACROSS PARTIES or your ballot will be null and void on any race!!!
If you want to vote absentee ballot it may be required of you to have a state issued I.D. BE SURE if you do make sure to send the completed ballot in before the deadline and not before they will accept them (if applies) POSTAGE I may suggest mailing it from a post office directly to make sure postage is correct for the weight and it goes though as few hands as possible.
I truly expect to see trouble at the polls and I think is best to stay away from them.
Keep this link or save or print out the info you will be glade you did. One more thing don't what ever you do set a troll straight on what when and where or the rules of voting. Keep it to yourself. Share this link with all your liberal DEMOCRAT friends please. Obama/Biden 2012!!!
Too save this link just copy and paste it in DOCUMENTS or where ever you will remember it!
The unions give the working people voice
When those who'd keep them silent, keep them down,
Have the money, have the power, have the choice
To give the governors means to push them around.
With Super-pacs to hide how much they're giving,
They have no reins to keep their wealth at bay.
They have the means to keep us all from living
With government that listens to what we say.
We have to battle back with those who'd fight
Those men who want to rule with iron fist.
They'd buy our government and steal our right
To choose our future, to struggle, to resist.
If we don't fight to keep the right to choose,
Then wealthy men will determine who will lose.
Republicans have never loved our nation;
They've loved what they can help to steal away
For any donor, any lobbyist, any corporation
Who want to line their pockets, come what may.
To love America, they'd have to love it's people,
Yet they refuse to give them any aid.
They worship at the altar of Norquist's evil,
Declaring only slashing can be made.
To stop Obama, they would kill our country,
McConnell, Boehner, Cantor, Ryan and more,
They'd sell our nation out to all and sundry,
To rob the people to help finance their war.
Though we may stop them, it may be too late;
It's hard to stop the juggernaut of hate.
Republicans will pay a heavy price
For failing to fulfill the People's need.
They think their wealthy backers will suffice
To get them reelected, so why pay heed?
But backers don't buy votes, they make up lies,
While those with pockets picked will know what's true.
You dont retain a thief for further tries,
You fire him, so your wallet stays with you.
These bandits think we won't care how they're hiding
Their projects buried deep within their bill,
But we can see what menace is overriding,
Won't allow the world to weaken to their will.
Even President Bush told truth back then,
"Fool me once, shame on you, won't get fooled again!"
David what you posted says it all. The Republicans are for the 1% only and if they get back in they will do all they have threatened to do. One Judge dared to tell them NO! Now who will have the guts to tell them what they are doing is TREASON ?
David = Hey Brah - Looks like you have been doin' some writin' == SWEET !!!
David and Pam and MD/MI you are so correct !!
Hope,
I don't tweet or do facebook and I did try to call but the office to MSNBC is closed now. I did get a letter to Rachel Maddow show about the technology problems. I will call again in the morning, in the meantime, will you help get out the word if you tweet/facebook about the technology problems. I am running my AVG and Malware...but I can't find a threat.
Thanks -
I disagree David the truth be known will kill the hate! A clear conscience is a bigger weight!
Well something is definately up Dem E. Yesterday it took me 6 tries to get in and somehow I keept being logged out of my Newsvine page so I could not post comments. But during the day there was not a problem like this. Weird.
Hope me too, i can't log on on my hompage at all, I think something is going on. --Get on it girl.
Weird is correct. Underhanded attempts to keep us from talking don't you think?
Wow, we must be a threat to all the liars at fakenews! Hope so!
#212-664-4444 for office at MSNBC the more calls the better so they can know what is going on with the site.
Obama/Biden 2012
Pres. Lincoln said it all in the 1860's by warning the country to NOT the corps take the power from the people or the country is doomed! We hear the same from David!!!!!!!!

I had to ask myself if this question was meant as a joke. Of course they are trying to steal the elections. Just look at all the money that Walker's billionaire buddies are pouring unending funds to keep Scott Walker in office. Look at Florida's governor who is trying to suppress the minority voters. Republican politicians have no scruples. I shouldn't say all Republican politicians, I respect John Huntsman and although, I would still have voted for Obama, but I wouldn't have been devastated if Huntsman won the election. My hope is that the American voters have learned their lesson and stop voting strictly party lines. God help us if Romney wins the election.
VALERIE - That's why I vote for the person NOT the party.Now if only everyone else would do that we shouldn't have a two party election either.
Ron Paul took the GOP buy out check sorry to tell you money talks and RP walks.
Ted, a couple of days ago I posted that I wished we did not vote for a party. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we were not voting for a Democrat or Republican, but voting strictly on a candidates beliefs, views, and what is best for all American voters. If we did not have Republicans vs Democrats and we just had people who were honest, true Americans, it would be pretty nice. However, we have to get the money out of politics in order to have fair election results.
this is another example of republicans doing anything they can to win an election, amazing that people wont stand up for their consitutional rights, and stop electing these self serving, dishonest republicans, what will they try next,
Of course they are. They can't steal the election the same way they did in 2000 -- that would be too obvious, so they are resorting to another scheme.
Rose dream on. The reps are never worried about being obvious!
Hell yes. This is a coordinated, concerted, nation wide effort to skew the presidential election vote in their favor. Why, may I ask, is this suddenly a problem? If it is a problem, why weren't changes made years ago? If changes are to be made, they should be phased in over a reasonable amount of time. Anyone who can't see what's going on here, has their head stuck up in a very dark and stinky place of their own design.
Of course the Republicans are trying to steal the election the same way they did in 2000 and 2004.
If you Lie, you will Cheat.....It's the Republican Way......If you can't beat 'em, cheat 'em!
The justice department has just stepped in to stop the voter fraud in FL! Good news breaking!
It worked for them once, so they are going to try it again! But they fail to take into account that this time we are looking at them. They are crooks and crooks like to do things when no one is looking.
Freda - Well, Acorn did a pretty good job of it. I want Federal U. S. Citizen I. D. Card. With U.S. Marshals at each Voting centers. You sure can't trust those Ex Acorn Reps. Keep a close eye on the Illegals voting for Obama.
LOL thanks for my morning per commute laugh.
now there's some real oldies of course all debunked. so guess my laugh was more of a chuckle, as they are very old jokes.
Sure thing Pilot, it can get pretty Corny around here.
The fraud is being perpetrated against the voters! I lived in FL back in 2000 and well remember how "well" that was handled... Harris was rewarded for her service by being sent to Congress as the representative from my district (gag, vomit, still makes me sick) because it was easy for her to win there.
Harris did great, she brought in jobs I have a winter home in Siesta Key, FL. She help up the prescription for Medicare, which you Liberals love, greater discount and more free prescriptions on generic. I have to Beware, Larry might want the complete Generic Drug list. Boy I'm a no good Conservative.
Florida purged voters from their rolls in 2000. It worked then so of course they're going to do it again in 2012. What happens in that state is unbelievable on many fronts. It seems cheating in Florida is the way to win presidential elections.
Of course they are. They did the same thing in 2000 for Dubya with the Supreme Court's help. What's to stop them from thinking they could get away with again this time. For all this talk that President Obama is afraid to run on his record, another lie he disproved recently, they shouldn't be afraid of all the legally eligible voters possible getting out there and casting their votes. But wait, maybe those potential voters aren't as stupid as they hope for them to be this time around.
