Kerry Dispatches 1,000 N.Y. Lawyers
NewsMax ^ | October 17, 2004 | Carl Limbacher

Democrats plan to send 1,000 New York lawyers to precincts in key battleground states on Election Day, part of a nationwide legal SWAT team that will include 10,000 attorneys in all.

And they'll be ready to cry foul on behalf of John Kerry at the first sign of a hanging chad or botched butterfly ballot.

"We're going to be there to make sure that every eligible voter gets to vote and every vote cast gets counted," Henry Berger, New York state counsel for the Kerry campaign, told the New York Post on Sunday. Six hundred New York lawyers alone will be traveling to Florida to keep an eye out for "disenfranchisement." The remaining 400 Empire State legal eagles will fan out across Ohio and Pennsylvania, prominent election lawyer Jerry Goldfeder told the paper.

The plans for the Democrats' legal invasion were hammered out in New York this summer after party chief Terry McAuliffe rejected a bipartisan offer from top Republican Ed Gillespie to share Election Day monitoring.

Altogether, more than 10,000 Democrat lawyers will hit the beaches in at least 15 states on Oct. 30, when they'll begin a crash course on state election law.

This indicates they know they are going to lose and will instead try to manufacture a result. This is why the election cannot be close or we will be put through the same nonsense as last time.

The point is, Soros' money in the oil market pales in comparison to what the oil barons control. They could sell short just to burn his arse.

You could try reporting them to the local law enforcement and the Florida Bar if they are holding themselves out as lawyers and not admitted to the Florida Bar. It is a 1st degree misdemeanor to practice law in Florida with out being licensed to do so in Florida.

If Soros is speculating in the oil market he's just along for the ride. It's not a matter of why would they, it's that they control the market, not Soros.

My wife and I really, really hope we run into one of these attorneys at the polls. Oh yes we do. We really, really do. Please, Lord, let one of these @$$h0les try to make some kind of issue while we are voting!

Thanks, Scales.

Now, if I see any Smurfs (UN people) around, I just might go reeeeally ballistic...

They are going to try to steal this election one way or another with the help of scummy lawyers and the media.

I'm afraid you might be right and I'm dreading it.

Might develop high blood pressure in the process.

This is the way the Left has always forced their views on us--through judicial tyranny.

"We're going to be there to make sure that every eligible voter gets to vote and every vote cast gets counted,"

Well, except for those pesky military absentee ballots.

Yes, I can attest to that.

The Rat lawyers here (in Pensacola, FL) were high-fiving each other every time they managed to get a military absentee vote thrown out.

Scumbag sewer dwelling hypocrites. May G-d bring His Justice on these people. (I really mean that)

How could they afford 1000 lawyers? Are they all working pro-bono?

They are the party of the rich afterall! :-)

I want my vote counted in the next election for prime minister of Gabon. Not that I'm Gabonese or anything. Not that I've ever even been to Gabon. But heck--who cares? I should have my vote counted! Waah! Waah! Waah!

The American people are not going to like this. They don't like trial lawyers as it is. This is going to backfire on lawyers so hard you are not going to believe it.

We were so angry about it, the local talk radio station (WCOA) organized a pro-Bush rally in front of City Hall days after the election. Even my mother, who has all of her life kept her political views (and her votes) to herself got out there with my aunt to attend it. (something you'd think she would never do, if you knew her!)

(I wanted to go so bad, but the weather was bad, and I had a 2 year old child that I didn't have a babysitter for at the time. )

We weren't going to let Gore and his henchmen steal this election!

Don't forget the old joke about God suing Satan (Satan's response: "Where are YOU going to find a lawyer?")
