``The exit-polling process is sponsored by news organizations, which are professionally committed to truth, not the distorted picture one party wants to convey,'' he said. ``It is a much more credible form of evidence of how people voted than this incredibly partisan machinery we have in place to conduct our elections.''
I may never stop laughing.
May my tagline say it all....
That quote requires the posting of a picture of Dan Blather!
Nyah, nyah nyah nyah nyah....
"Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, who conceded Ohio and the election Nov. 3 after his aides concluded there was no reasonable chance for him to overturn Bush's margin there of 136,000 votes, refuses to join the challenges."
Kerry is disingenuous. His people are involved in the recount effort. Also, his campaign joint the suit in Delaware County to force a recount that Delaware does not want to do.
Oww! My sides are splitting on that one.
What is concerning about all this nonsense, is every time an election result is called into question, when clearly the results are not debatable, it tears down our democratic process, demeans the system and opens up the election process to real fraud because we cry "wolf" every time a election doesn't go the democrats way
``In southern Ohio, there's no reason to believe a black female candidate would be outperforming Kerry,'' said Cliff Arnebeck, an attorney for the group. ``It's a fix. Whether they had the computers rigged to do this, we'll find out.''
That's DUMorat logic for ya
The legal profession is in a downward spiral since their candidate, for whom they contributed Millions of Dollars, lost and contributes further to a reordering of the ability of the legal profession to milk citizens of their hard earned wages.
An election cannot be contested until it has been certified.
Ohio Sec. of State, Ken Blackwell, b-slapped Jesse Jackson yesterday in an interview with Billy Cunningham on WLW, Cincinnati, over Jackson's comments about the vote count in Ohio.
Blackwell, an extremely astute, conservative, Republican African American, said that Jackson suffers from attention-deficit disorder....he wasn't getting any attention so he had to come make an ignorant statement just to get his name in the news.
He said Jackson's the guy who runs out in front of the parade acting like he organized something.
Blackwell says they've been carefully counting the votes per Ohio law which requires ALL ballots before the final talley -- to include military, provisional, etc. -- so that their final talley will be far more accurate than any recount.
And along comes Jackson saying they should count everything.
Blackwell just laughed at Jackson and made fun of him. (Blackwell for governor!)
Carlo LoParo, a spokesman for Blackwell, said the charges were wrong.
He noted that each Ohio county's result is certified by local elections boards governed by equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans. The same boards would conduct recounts.
They fail to mention that Bush did similarly well in 2000 in that same county.
>...I heard this idiot on C-Span this a.m. (naturally, he was never challenged about his assertions by the "host") but one of the callers that did challenge him was a guardsman from Ohio who summed up my rage (words to the effect): "Mr. Arnebeck, it is people like you who've demean service to our country...and I'll be damned if I'm going to let you get away with this attempt to overturn my president and commander in chief!"
Unbelievable. So it is better to go with the polling data than the actual vote totals? Well, that would sure save people standing hours in line to cast their ballots.
But, in a way, it is the characteristic leftist view of the world: perception trumps reality, i.e., there is no such thing as objective truth.
This idiot - Arnebeck - was on C-SPAN this morning, spewing lie after lie, after lie. In defense of journalists, he said that once the journalists did the recount in Florida in 2000, they showed that Gore won.
Typically, the hosts of C-SPAN's Washington Journal do not question guests or express their own opinions but Steve Scully couldn't let that one go by. He asked for the source of that info because everything that he (Scully) had read indicated that Bush won.
Arnebeck didn't slow down at all and just repeated the lie. It was so bad that I couldn't watch. He brought up the race card again and again, talking about "suppressing the black vote", etc., etc., ad nauseum.
What a POS.
This entire Ohio BS is typical leftist / democrat tactics. Accomplish by concealment to avoid public oposition.
They are still trying to win in the court when the public rejects them at the ballot box. This time they have learned to minimize media coverage.
