Lying Bastards!!! USA Today reports "Early Voting Gives Edge to Dems," when the 'edge' is smaller than the Dem's voter registration leads.

In NC, Dems hav 12-point lead in voter registrations, yet lead by only 5 in early voting. But USA Today Reports it a Dem 'edge'

They were crowing about this over at DU until someone threw water on it by reminding them that the Dems led by 3-1 last election.

Another thing to keep in mind is that just because a Democrat is voting, it doesn’t mean he’s voting Democrat.

I know plenty of “Democrats” who are eager to vote . . . Republican.

‘Early voting gives edge to Democrats ‘

Keep saying that. Means more of a turnout for Repubs. More incentive to get more people to vote.

How are they lying?

According to the story, Democrats do appear to be casting more ballots in the early voting period than Republicans?

Democrats have an massive GOTV operation that includes a huge reliance on early voting. It sounds like that is paying some dividends for them. I don’t see how the article is lying?

If the Marxist and their propaganda mouthpieces allow an honest election, they will postpone their own day of reckoning and be able to finger point at the new congress.

If they do not, then the other America who pays the taxes and does the heavy lifting to support the ruling class will rebel sooner rather than later.

Do whatever you can to ensure an honest election now and don't be diverted or discouraged by the propaganda machine.

“Early Voting Gives Edge to Dems,”

Frankly, Scarlett, I tend to agree. Any voting that is extra Constitutional, gives an edge to someone, else why would some have an insane desire to get voting off of the mandated day for casting ones vote and spread over a large period of time.

Hey, it *is* the state-run media. This was totally expected, like harsh criticism of a Republican president and glowing praise for a Democrat president. It’s what they do. Pay it no mind. Vote.

Expect the MSM to slander the Tea Party and conservative candidates 24/7 until November 2. Expect them to spin every story pro-Obama, pro-Dem just as vigorously.

This is the most ferociously contested non-Presidential election of my life, and the stakes couldn't be higher. Either we as a nation repudiate Obama’s Marxism, or we succumb.

It's that simple.

Yeah, well, their ‘massive GOTV operation’ has fallen on its ass.

Dems have a 12 point lead in registrations and only lead by 5 in early voting. In 2008, they led by 3-1 in early voting and won the state by .4%. They’re getting slaughtered.

Are you always the contrarian? Almost all of your posts are in some manner supportive of a liberal position. I ask myself, “Why is that”?
