There are no coincidences with the Ford name in Memphis.
Ophelia is *gasp* John Ford's sister, and *double gasp* aunt to Harld Ford Jr.
And they are ALL crooked.
Why you ignorant VRWC Swine, Sir! No family in Tennessee has done more for the dead than the Fords. Unless of course, it would be the Gore family.
You Republicans and your pettifogging electoral rules! Would you deny the only selfless constituency in this great land of ours their votes? The dead consume no precious resources. They make no demands. All they ask is that some caring. compassionate Democrat helps them make a statement. Your blind adherence to unfair regulation would rob them of self-esteem. Have you never heard of the absentee ballot, Sir? Can you deny that the dead are absent, but that their spirits hover 'round the electoral rolls?
Members of a minority group, which modesty forbids me to name, and women were denied the vote for hundreds of years. They have every right to make up for those years, whether they are at ambient temperature or not. What next, you cheese-paring Republican cur ... some sort of proof that a Tennessee voter is alive, registered in the precinct in which he is voting, and only voting once?
Despicable discrimination and suppression of the minority vote, I calls it.
One logistical note on the 'Million Corpse March:" I have ordered the buses, and of course I have the names and addresses from the voter registration rolls, but I can't figure out how to actually get them to the buses, never mind seated.
Perhaps the Ford family could advise me? After all, they have no trouble getting the dead to the polls. I'll call Donna Brazile, SickDick Daley, and Fast Eddie Rendell, too. Nothing like experience.
Not that requiring ID would stop them all that much- How do you stop a poll worker (such as the one suspected in this case of casting these fraudulent ballots, or as the ones performing the traditional "recount" in Detroit) from stealing an election?
(The answer: More Republicans watching the polls, more of the time. :) )
I believe the departed reached an all time political high when they were able to elect one of their own to the Senate from Missouri. Why, even the dead from East St. Louis got to vote in that one, due to a Dem judge keeping the polls open long enough for them to shamble across the Mississippi.
Cheers for the reporter. They don't make many like him.
Big city full of liberals - did they expect an honest election?
WHAT????? Really? Does the reporter doing this story know this? Any chance of getting a subpoena of their records to compare directly w/ the election rolls?
The dead vote routinely in big cities like Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle, etc. I don't know why anyone would be surprised to find the same thing in Memphis or St. Louis.
The GOP usually isn't even trying to win those elections; it only becomes an issue when a GOP candidate really wants to win. Which is seldom.
There have been so many Fords who've been elected or appointed to so many different political positions in Memphis, Shelby County, and/or State over the past 30 years, that I just can't keep up with exactly how they're all related.
But in St. Louis, the dead actually elected a dead guy: Carnahan. Now that's true representation.
More Ford family fun
What a great referral!
Tanks!

You get a felony conviction for voter fraud.
