We are all saying we want this verified. The only fact I am reporting is that a caller said it on the radio.
There's no evidence that this phone prank is true. No transctipt, nothing admissible in court. The source is an anonymous caller to a syndicated talk show - we must therefore assume it's urban legend material.
You'll know the Oct. surprise when you hear it. It will be supported loudly by the MSM. Thank goodness they've already lost a lot of credibility.
Believe it.
Do you know why George Bush, and not Jeb Bush, is President of the United States today?
Because in 1994, as Jeb Bush was about to defeat Lawton Chiles in his first race for Governor, the Democrats started calling senior citizens and telling them that Jeb Bush was going to take away their Social Security and Medicare! The Chiles campaign admitted it after the election. Jeb Bush lost by less than 1%.
Do you know why Ellen Sauerbrey is not enjoying her second term as Maryland's governor?
Because in 1999, as Sauerbrey was about to defeat Parris Glendening, Democrats ran a TV ad and made phone calls to black voters in Baltimore telling them that Sauerbrey "voted against a civil rights bill." (BTW, that campaign was run by none other than one Robert Shrum, senior adviser to the Kerry "campaign.") Even Baltimore Mayor Kurt Schmoke condemned the ads and refused to join the attack on Sauerbrey. She lost by less than 1%.
Democrats are capable of anything. And we already know they tried to suppress the military vote in 2000. They know the procedures for the actual voting have been tightened up, and they can't get military votes thrown out this time, so they are trying to suppress the military votes with these despicable phone calls. I totally believe this story because it is totally in character with this crowd of Democrats.
"I'm a liberal Democrat. I started in Florida politics. I worked for George McGovern. I worked for Jimmy Carter. I've worked for Ted Kennedy, Mario Cuomo. Nobody can question, I think, my credentials and my convictions. But I have to tell you, at this point it's hard to believe, but my party, the party that [my family has] belonged to since my great-great-grandfather, ... has become no longer a party of principles, but has been hijacked by a CONFEDERACY OF GANGSTERS who need to take power by whatever means and whatever canards they can."
-- Patrick Caddell on "Hardball" Nov. 27, 2000
In our state, you have to be registered by party to vote in the primaries, and that's something he wants to do. But he's so disgusted with the candidates that the democrats are voting in that I think he feels he will have a better voice at voting for the better slate of Republican candidates. I'm sure that his voting will remain much the same--he has always tended to split his ticket. But I also think that he'll vote for democrats more cautiously now that he sees what their party stands for.
Tell him to drop the labels (dem/repub.) and look into his heart and listen to his gut........If he's uneasy with the dems there is something that is telling him to be.....tell him to listen to that voice inside (his sixth sense) and follow it.
Checked snopes.com and this story is not there. So it's NOT an urban legend - at least not yet...
My husband, though a democrat, is a good guy. He's honest and that's what attracted me to him in the first place. And that's what has outraged him about Kerry and Edwards--the blatant dishonesty. But he also saw a huge difference between the democrat and republican conventions. I think the seed got planted then.
My son lives in Broward County and had this experience. His tax dollars at work for Lurch & co.
If it's a live person making that call I feel sorry for them if they get my wife on the phone.
Not only is she an Army wife...she grew up an Army Brat with her dad!
She's very touchy about this stuff to say the least! loL!
The Democrats lost their conscience (no doubt)in the latter half of the previous century.
Exactly.
Is anyone listening to VP Cheney on Laura's show right now? I think he sounds strange. Sick or distracted? He usually sounds so concise and sharp. I'm finding it troubling.
So many idiots...so little time.
I can't imagine this level depravity. I would be so furious I'd be on the phone to the offending party so fast they wouldn't know what hit them!
I love your screen name!
Iron Soldiers!
Agreed. Until there's confirmation, its silly to act outraged.
Isn't there a military base there?
Snopes is a Leftist site, run by Leftist activists, who use their "debunking" to promote the Socialist agenda.
They publicly came out against the Iraqi campaign, and have put up a Bush Body Count link in place of the Clinton Body Count.
I will never give Snopes the Web hit they so desparately need, and neither should anyone else.
Jeepers. Thanks for the ping!
