BULLSHIT LOW TURNOUT. WE STOOD IN LINE ALL DAMN DAY IN VA.

What kind of voting equipment did your polling place have? The new chad free system my town use is slower than the old punch cards. It takes considerable time to fill in the dots..

I am too far from the ways of the Almighty to have known that I shouldn’t have posted these things. I’m merely a semi-intelligent idiot and not worth your time reading.
For; it is the way that those who have sown this will eat it later. By however means they denied a scapegoat by the Romney/Ryan ticket and it is a mess in their pocket.

You hit it on the head as to why the GOP tolerates libtard fraud. You wouldn’t waste money on a rigged game.

There you go asking questions, “what kind of machine..?” Terminal. Did we turn it upside down and get the freakin serial # ? NO. we were hosed. More than that, a significant area of Virginia realises that the outcome may be attributed to us, in lib counties. WE DID all we could do and it meant nothing. That is why He’s pissed, I’m pissed and more than that. This isn’t correct.

We used the same system we have for twenty years. Fill in the dot.

Why am I insisting on pointing out the deficit of integrity? Not because I particularly disagree that conservatives need to appeal to voters (duh!) or even because if we were to accept, as the GOP has done for 50 years at least, that they need to “win by 3%” or the Rats can steal it. The thing about this that startles me is that this means we aren’t on The Road to Serfdom anymore. We have arrived.

I had a patient years ago who grew up and lived in Italy in the30’s and 40’s. I was reading Herdotus at the time and remarked that maybe the old Persian generals were right. Tyrant is the best way to rule. “after all, the trains ran on time”. He laughed at me. “No they didn’t”, he said. “It was just pretty unhealthy to point that out”!

Frankly I believe the Ron Paulites had little to do with it.

There are large numbers of our people who do not vote, simply because they are in blue states and are hopelessly outnumbered. I know several people in California that did not vote.

In addition, Obama ran a targeted campaign, concentrating his efforts on getting out the votes in the swing states of VA, NC, FLA & OH. In those states, independents came out in droves for Romney.

I remember how FURIOUS I was when RINORomney got the nod.
I DESPISED the dirty tactics he used to succeed.
I got over it.
I wanted to bet rid of O more than I wanted revenge on the RINOs.

ABOUT THREE MILLION OTHERS DID NOT. They stayed home. Hence all the other losses, too.

End of story.

I read you. In a different way of expression I have agreed. We have arrived as in “welcome to the machine” In a forming machine. Bending is the gentle part. Its the punchouts and discarded. Trashed, basically because they don’t fit the form. It’s the process we’ve been in for awhile and there is recycle of this material as in redistribution.

I guess next time get an absentee ballot. That is probably what I’ll do. I don’t like standing in stalled lines.

Wake up, Romney loss to McCain in 08 and McCain was unelectable even with Palin’s juice. The RNC/GOP was put on the rocks by Bush/Rove, the pricks managed to enable the illegal invaders, chased off any libertarian, a lot of Evangelical and Conservative voters. The GOP picked Romney and tried to force this anti-conservative, pro-abort, pro-gay, pro-gubermint health, anti-2ndA big-guv statist on the rest of us. F__them!

"Just don't show up"

Why would anyone vote for an all white version of the kenyan? There is NO DIFFERENCE between Romney and the kenyan.

Smart people realized that and said "why bother?".

Then why did we never stand in line for the prior 20 years?

In fact if you check the sec. of state website we had MORE voters in 2008 and didn’t stand in line. (If you want to believe it).

You are accusing them of staying home. They didn’t. That is what I am telling you. They DID vote. It just wasn’t counted.
