Here's how the 2006 mid-term election was stolen.

Note the past tense. And I'm not kidding.

And shoot me for saying this, but it won't be stolen by jerking with the touch-screen machines (though they'll do their nasty part). While progressives panic over the viral spread of suspect computer black boxes, the Karl Rove-bots have been tunneling into the vote vaults through entirely different means.

For six years now, our investigations team, at first on assignment for BBC TV and the Guardian, has been digging into the nitty-gritty of the gaming of US elections. We've found that November 7, 2006 is a day that will live in infamy. Four and a half million votes have been shoplifted. Here's how they'll do it, in three easy steps:

Theft #1: Registrations gone with the wind...

I guess the Repubs are so good by demanding ID and trying to prevent fraud that they are starting with 4.5 million votes ahead of the dems. Or is it that by requiring ID the Repubs are denying the dems 4.5 million dead voters. Wow! What moonbats these dems are!!!

[Jaysun]

Absurd.

So great to see our "vintage" FReepers popping in for the festivies. I've been seeing a lot more < 2K members on threads as of late.

Thanks for the post.

I've seen some Twilight Zone stuff on FR in the last 8 years--on both sides--but this may just be the winner of the Rod Serling award.

They're absolutely right, we'll steal every election so why even bother to vote? < /snicker >

Palast is a #1 whack job. Which means he's a god on DU.

Christian Nation will not allow their values to be stomped by the rat crowd...that's the bottom line...we'll win...we are a HUGE BLOCK OF VOTERS...

The problem with Greg's conspiracy theory is the same problem as with all conspiracy theories

Millions of eyes and ears involved to see the theory and blow the whistle, but the conspiracy is only a revelation to Greg and no one pays attention to his pathetic little whistle

I wonder what this hack would say about the 110% voter turnout in the Milwaukee central city district two years ago . . .

NOTE: Despite the hue & cry, we still do not have voter ID requirements.

Anyone care to bet how that district turns out?

Anyone?

Bueller?

Rove + Bastard = Magnifico!

[RightOnline]

Dang. We're such bastards.

[visualops]

His accusations are rather libelous.
