Any more proof on the reason why Democrats oppose voter identification at the polls?

[The South Texan]

Surpris, surprise, surprise. Dead Democrats manage to vote while dead Republicans don't.

And to think that we now have U.S.Senators in Iraq to make sure their election is running right. Barf Barf.

[Zenith]

Harold FORD is nothing but a crooked pol like the whole family !!

Wise up TENN.

Classic Democrat movie favorite - "Dead Man Voting"

The Deadocrats were out in force in 2004.

I can't believe a newspaper actually conducted a real live investigation.

Don't they know how to make up anonymous sources and conduct a poll like other newspapers?

"They believe that the same person may have forged them all, a poll worker maybe," Perrusquia said. "They have also conceded that three felons not allowed to vote had voted and a person from outside the district had voted, so the election is already tainted."

Yeah but they might have voted Republican, right?

/sarcasm

[DBrow]

Dead people with purple fingers?

"Surpris, surprise, surprise. Dead Democrats manage to vote while dead Republicans don't."

Dead Republicans tend to lose interest in politics, but dead dems never do. Its not all that different in life.

Is Ophelia Ford part of the same Ford clan as John & Harold?

I worked in Memphis for about a year--I'd love to hear Mike Fleming's radio show tonight!

This is NO surprise. The democrats have been using dead people for as long as I can remember, and they vote more that once. The democrats use every illegal way they can find to win and this is no exception. Just like they did for JFK and the democrat Senator from SD and many, many others through the years.

Problem is we have NO Republican that will say anything because we elected a bunch of cowards and suck babies to the US Senate whom we thought were Republicans.

This is why the majority of people are conservative and the "Majority" of elected democrats are liberal. the libs are fixing the "system" and getting other libs elected. that's why the unions are so powerful. the one who "counts the vote, wins the election"

[Old Professer]

Democrat Ophelia Ford had edged Republican Terry Roland in the race to fill the seat previously held by Ford's brother, John

[Joe 6-pack]

I would imagine it will be somewhat easier to detect democrat fraud in 2006 since voters named, "Tookie," should warrant extra scrutiny.

If Frist had cojones he would be calling for federal intervention. Problem is, the guy is a wuss -- in the Lindsay Graham league.

Polls by Zogby show that the only demographic more loyal to the democrats than African-Americans are dead people. Every dead voter identified to date has been a staunch democrat--at least during the time period that the person has been dead.

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are racing to Memphis to demonstrate against the denial of equal voting rights to the dead. Jackson was quoted as saying "I cannot stand aside and hide, nor will I abide the injustice of seeing voting rights denied to those who have died." Rev. Sharpton issued a plea to "Pass me some o' dem poke chops". Sharpton's office has not yet responded to a request for clarification of his comments.

A protest demonstration billed as the "Million Corpse March" was cancelled when no marching dead people showed up for the event. Asked to comment, well known dead leader Nancy Pelosi said, "I was busy in D.C. I don't know where the other corpses were."

A statement from the White House said: "President Bush feels badly for all those who have died and the families left behind." Tomorrow's headline: "BUSH TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL DEATHS"

[Buck W.]

I know--but do you know if Ophelia is related to John/Harold? Or is the surname Ford just a coincidence?

[Toidylop]

Next time you hear DEM b*tching of not having voting opportunity, it's just a crock... They apparently can even drag dead people to vote!!!
