Any one remember this?

Are they trying to add there??

[BullDawg28]

Not to be racist..but I bet the person spelling it "Ewards" was black. My first name is Edward, and a black person has NEVER pronounced the first D in my name!

Clitus, the slack-jawed yokel:

(Democratic elector.)

I resent 'at scur-ei-less ackuzation! I done peformed my cibic dutee yesterday. Voting for 'at hillbilly John Edwards, wut wit 'at thar shiney hair.

(Picks nose. Attachs signature "x" to presidential ballot.)

[Grampa Dave]

You are as bad as ever.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

I'll take that as a compliment.

-good times, G.J.P.(Jr.)

[Grampa Dave]

It was meant to be a compliment!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

How the heck did Bush pull that off?

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Thank you.

That's how I took it.

Now it's on to other, unprospected threads.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

The guy attends the Electoral College for four years and he can't even spell Edwards, and cast one vote for Kerry? Democrats are in worse shape than I thought.

[Polyxene]

"Seven years of college, down the drain!"

[rdl6989]

Maybe we will hear some wild theory that Karl Rove or President Bush used mental telepathy to "jam" the brain frequency of the elector, causing the mistake.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

The elector actually voted for Edwards. The “d” was a dimpled chad. I demand a recount. Lets investigate this disenfranchisement.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

DNC memorandum: "We think they're using mind control now, sir."

[Recovering_Democrat]

The ballot must have confused the Democrat.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Yes, I was part of that thread! I also remember joke phone calls being made to that old woman socialist's home...I wonder if a FREEPer might have done that...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

And which one was it?......

How befitting the present day democrat party.

Who ties these folk's shoelaces?
