The Incredible Shrinking Credibility of RFK, Jr.

Here's the bottom line...Dems don't want ANY investigation into election shenanigans. They know their the ones that will be hurt.

[Graybeard58]

If Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was a serious, credible person

If a frog had wings......

[FlingWingFlyer]

This clown is a braindead punk. If his name was Robert F. O'Malley he'd have to get a real job. No one should be taking this jerk seriously.

[swmobuffalo]

I didn't know there were Kennedys with credibility.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Junior coasted off his famous father's name and took up a cause so he can be a member of the Cape Cod and Hampton cocktail parties, that's all.

The Kennedy Legacy: the Swimmer, the Doper, and, now, the Poor Loser.

[Westlander]

Sure their is actual credibility....

Can't fly
Can't ski
Can't duck a slug
Can't beat a rape rap
Can't hide an Oldsmobile with a corpse

The polls were wrong because they were deliberately biased to sour the Republican vote ("why bother, your guy lost!").

Zogbyism earned its name that day. The press continues to make it up as they see fit.

I have a good friend who is a liberal activist working on the East Coast, and he was one of the thousands of volunteers who descended on Ohio in the final weeks of the election to help turn out the vote for Kerry. After the election I asked him what happened and he said that one of the factors that frustrated their efforts was that poll workers in heavily Democratic precincts were terribly disorganized. Their voting lists weren't being properly updated, and as the day wore on it became difficult to locate those who hadn't voted and go pick them up and get them to the polls. The disorganization accounted for some of the long lines in heavily Democratic areas as well.

I have a friend who went to Ohio to work for the Bush campaign GOTV. At first she said things were disorganized, but by a couple of days before the election she told me unequivocally Bush would win because the campaign was simply better organized. They knew where all their voters were and they got them to the polls. Democrats had a false sense of security because Moveon and other liberal groups sent loads of volunteers into the state and thought they had registered thousands of new voters, but most of the registrations were crap and their volunteers were like herding cats on Election Day. They can't accept that they just got out-organized, and especially that the same-sex marriage amendment brought a lot of new conservative voters to the polls that they had not identified. They really were surprised that they lost Ohio. So they just make stuff up about fraud, hacked voting machines, provisional ballots, etc. etc. ad nauseam.

[television is just wrong]

yes and they are all credible, NOT...

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

There was one confirmed case of fraud in Ohio in 2004: a Democratic operative was paid in crack cocaine for submitting hundreds of registrations all in the same handwriting with names like "Mary Poppins" and "Michael Jackson."

And that's just the one we know about.

Don't forget about the irony of a Kennedy whining about a "stolen" election.

[Dems_R_Losers]

Exit polls are done during the day when more voters are those who don't work. Thats why they always skew Democrat. In 2000 the early exit polls had Bush being slaughtered in Florida and even losing Georgia (remember how long it took Dan Rather to call Georgia, and it ended up going to Bush by 55-45?). I remember being at the RNC that afternoon and people were ready to jump off the roof.

[Dems_R_Losers]

Don't forget about the irony of a Kennedy whining about a "stolen" election.

AMEN!

[spyone]

DOUBLE AMEN!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I think you may be on to something. Daytime polls count people who don't work.

[I still care]

Speaking of frogs, RFK jr was on Cavuto today, and he sounded terrible. Does he always sound like that?

Aside from the quality of his voice, he was pure moonbat. He's been reading the loonytoon websites so long he's started to believe them.
