FNC - Peggy Noonan on Hannity & Colmes talking about massive fraud in the Battleground States

[TBBT]

Peggy says it's happening in all the key battleground states and it largely being perpetrated by the Democrats (negating Colmes argument that "well the republican are doing it to, and the Republicans are just trying to suppress the vote.)

She says that the 1996 election may be the last one where we go to be on election night and wake up the next morning knowing who the next president will be.

[The Bat Lady]

The Democrats have gotten away with voter fraud for decades. Lyndon Johnson in Texas. Richard Nixon could have protested the Cook County vote in Chicago that gave the election to Kennedy, but for the good of the country, he didn't. Lawton Chiles stole Jeb Bush's first run for Florida governor, but it wasn't protested either.

Let us not forget that the reason AlGore fought sooooo long before conceding was that he KNEW HOW MUCH HE HAD CHEATED.

He was personally in charge (for 4 years) of the program to make sure that the FBI files didn't get together with aliens who applied to be citizens.

He KNEW that he had gotten 5 million new voters in time for 2000. 1 million each in NY, Texas, Chicago, California and Florida.

What does that say about the popular vote for Bush? Especially since lots of voters gave up when the election was called early.

[cookcounty]

"You made some excellent points. And no, I don't think President Bush was wrong for fighting it out in the courts."

DO NOT FORGET. It was the Democrats who took Florida to the courts to get a (democrat -county-only) extension on recounting. The judge (a Democrat!) said "no," so they appealed to the Florida (Democrat-only) Supremes, who ruled Florida election law unconstitutional, ten years after a Democrat House and Democrat Senate in Talahassee passed the election bill, which was signed into law by a Democrat Governor.

...........but it was the Republican's fault!

What happenes with education goes down the toilet. I went over to yahoo yesterday to read the article on the 5 widows and read the comments on the article where someone PROUDLY posted he's seen an SUV with a Bush/Cheny bumper sticker and keyed the car.... this is what our schools are raising --since so many parents chose to procreate and not participate in the raising of their offspring.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Hey just think of the faces we'd NEVER have to see on our TV screens again? Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, Terry McAwful, and many more... you know last four years they nailed CEO's -- this time?????

[clifcrds]

>>Hate to say it, but I am starting to tune Hannity out. I just can't take the format much longer<<

I agree. The interview with Peggy Noonan was good serious civilized discussion. But then in the next segment they bring on this little donkey cheerleader, Jenny Backus, who instead of answering a specific question, sidesteps the issue and immeadiately starts shouting out reverse questions about Republicans intermixed with the same old rehersed Kerry talking points . Its a total waste of viewer time!

The only good thing is that after W slams sKerry these Democryt motor mouths will shut up for a while - that is if W wins by an uncontested margin.

[Windcatcher]

I'd like to see a group of people park a Bush-laden car in a Lib district, set up and wait for someone to key it, and then hand them the surprise of their lives (hint, hint).

[Ethyl]

The level of bile and invective from the Rats is so high that I think it will lead to violence, which of course the MSM will blame on the Republicans.

Sadly, I do not see our Republic lasting more than 10 or 15 years more.

That's fine with me, we need to get rid of the Rats, no problem with the South, we can do. I am sick of the Demoncrapts.

[clifcrds]

I saw probably the same thing on CBS last Friday. PBS taking leads from SeeBS - that's a great combination.

Anyway - Here is part of a previous posting that shows how this incident was protrayed to the public on SeeBS:

Just for curiosity – I watched the CBS Evening News with Dan RatherElectKerry on Friday night to see what they were spoon-feeding their ideologs. Did CBS give the public the “real” real political story of the week?

No – instead they did a 2-minute segment on voter registration fraud. In this segment they filmed an employee of Nevada’s Voter Outreach Registration Program claiming that his supervisor was tearing up Democratic voter registration forms. CBS made sure that it filmed the employee, Eric Russell, showing some torn up registration forms. CBS made sure that they made the “Republican connection” by stating that Voter Outreach was created by former head of the Arizona Republican committee and that he was given over half a million dollars for work he had done in “swing states”. CBS spent about 1 minute of the 2-minute segment “painting” the Republicans as the villains. CBS did make the comment that it was reported that Eric Russell had torn up the forms himself because he was angry over a back pay issue – but they did not put a live person on to make this statement thus not giving a “face” to the story. Is this important? What has more impact on a jury – a deposition or a person giving live testimony?

For the next part of the segment CBS switched to the Oregon Secretary Of State telling of registration shenanigans at a library – but they fail to mention whether it was Republicans or Democrats committing the crimes.

Just to be fair and balanced, CBS did spend 15 seconds of the 2 minutes on a very vague and "faceless" comment that in Florida Republican registration forms had “allegedly” been torn up.

You can see for yourselves what I am talking about if you go to this web site and watch the news clip: http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_video/main500251.shtml?channel=eveningnews

"Any person with integrity SURELY isn't
a Democrat."

Zell Miller?

[Vision]

You're right- Article 2 Section 1 Clause 2 says the states will make up their own election laws.

Is there any law that says all the states must vote on the same day? Is there another document that goes into election details? Why couldn't a state pass a law that says "our electors will vote for a certain party regardless of the outcome of the voting. Or they could do away with the voting altogether.

[Iwo Jima]

I disagree.

Article II, Sec. 1, Paragraph 1 of the Constitution states that "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors..."

Article II, Sec. 1, Paragraph 4 states "The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States."

I am assuming that "Time" and "Day" both mean "date."

Therefore, according to the Constitution, only Congress may set the date that we pick electors (which we call having an election), and it must set the same, single date throughout the United States. The only thing that the states can control is the method of voting (e.g., electronic vs. paper ballots), and that must be by the legislature, not the courts, referendum, gubernatorial executive order, etc.

That's why I think that absentee and early voting as currently constituted just has to be unconstitutional.

[pjd]

We already know the Dems will start the mantr "Let Every Vote Count", because they don't want any scrutiny on all the illegal votes from dead people or people voting dozens of times to count.

We should counter this with a mantra of our own: "Don't let voter fraud cancel Your vote!"

[YaYa123]

Good Grief!!! How could I have recanted the litany of Democrat voter fraud and not included Al Gore's contribution? Thanks for the reminder:

http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=10187

.."A report issued by the Justice Dept. in 2000 detailed a program run under the auspices of then Vice President Gore's "Reinventing Government" project to streamline government services.

In a successful effort to clear a backlog of 1.2 million applicants, the INS engaged in this crash program called "Citizenship USA" to naturalize the immigrants between October 1995 and September 1996, not coincidentally, just in time for the presidential election.

Douglas Farbrother, an official on Gore's team, is quoted in the report saying he "believed that the (citizenship) program had a deadline that was directly connected to the upcoming election."

The Clinton administration bypassed the customary FBI background check for these new citizens demonstrating that creating new Democrat voters was a much higher priority than national security.

It is estimated that tens of thousands of applications were approved without FBI review. The Justice Dept. report documented 1,000 cases in Miami; 1,300 cases in Chicago; and an astonishing 2,500 cases in Los Angeles."

[Iwo Jima]

See my post #91.

[an amused spectator]

Notice every judge making a very stupid ruling so far has been a CLINTON appointee... just think how bad it would be if you added Kerry judges to the mix.

Remember, there's only about 800 federal judges. The Democommies would LOVE to have a majority of the black-robed Philosopher Kings...

[Sparky760]

This is just a gut feeling but I have a lot more faith in the GOP this time around. I wouldn't underestimate this group. I think they are either holding an ace in the hole or their polls, the real ones, show an overwhelming victory.

On the flip side, if they do steal this one, God help us all.

[John Lenin]

She says that the 1996 election may be the last one where we go to bed on election night and wake up the next morning knowing who the next president will be.

And all the blame goes to the fools in Washington, we are being pushed towards anarchy by the powers that be.

[Dog Gone]

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress:

I guess you're ignoring or misconsturing this provision. This means the state legislature can figure out where and when to choose the electoral college. Clause 4 sets a potential deadline for them doing so.

Get over it. Early voting is no more illegal than absentee voting.

[Conservative Texan Mom]

You know, Texas retained the right to annex when it became part of the union. We've been our own country before, and if Kerry is elected, maybe we should be our own country again.

So, let me extend a warm, friendly invitation to all you Freepers, that in the unlikely event of a Kerry victory, ya'll just move on down here. We'll start the Freeper state, and GWB can be president!

[Iwo Jima]

There's no reason to add rudeness to error. Why would you state that I was ignoring a provision which I just quoted to you?

If I am not mistaken, this was covered most recently in Bush v. Gore. "Manner" means "manner." It does not mean date. The states could not set different election dates.

The Constitution certainly does state that there shall only be one date, and it shall be that as set by Congress. The date set is not a deadline -- IT IS THE DATE, THE ONE AND ONLY DATE.
