John McCain's 2008 campaign staff allegedly had evidence that Democrats stuffed ballot boxes in Pennsylvania and Ohio on election night, but McCain chose not to pursue voter fraud, according to internal Stratfor emails published by WikiLeaks.

In an email sent on November 7, 2008, and titled " Insight - The Dems & Dirty Tricks ** Internal Use Only - Pls Do Not Forward **," Stratfor vice president of intelligence Fred Burton wrote:

1) The black Dems were caught stuffing the ballot boxes in Philly and Ohio as reported the night of the election and Sen. McCain chose not to fight. The matter is not dead inside the party. It now becomes a matter of sequence now as to how and when to "out".

In an email sent two days earlier and titled "Insight - McCain #5 ** internal use only - Pls do not forward **," Burton wrote:

After discussions with his inner circle, which explains the delay in his speech, McCain decided not to pursue the voter fraud in PA and Ohio, despite his staff's desire to make it an issue. He said no. Staff felt they could get a federal injunction to stop the process. McCain felt the crowds assembled in support of Obama and such would be detrimental to our country and it would do our nation no good for this to drag out like last go around, coupled with the possibility of domestic violence.

Such a shocking revelation.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

McCain made exactly the wrong decision.

Im shocked..shocked I tell ya/sarc
Not surprising that McCain chose not to do anything about it, he behaved like a coward throughout the 2008 campaign
Now we have to make sure this doesn’t happen again. You all know Obama will be working even harder this time around to make sure that he steals another election

[FatherofFive]

Racist claims! No need for voter ID! /s

[hinckley buzzard]

No skin off McCain's nose. He still would not have won, even with PA and OH, so he just bailed on the country and let it go.

[davisfh]

I don’t believe it. I just know that those wonderful people wouldn’t do such a thing. /s

[Vaquero]

McCain is such a doooosh.

[Michael Barnes]

This M-Fer McCain was seeking the "highest office in the land" and was going to take an oath to defend the Constitution and we find his campaign had hard EVIDENCE of voter fraud of which he did nothing about? He is just as guilty of treason as those who were doing the tampering. If he was to "defend the Constitution", it is his duty to bring this to light; but instead he went with appeasement and more "reaching across the isle" bullcrap.

Explain to me again why I should be supporting the GOP-e and Republicans? They obviously and clearly care more about opponents than I, a disenfranchised voter.

You don’t know the extent of the voter fraud in other areas of the country. Milwaukee’s police chief disbanded the voter fraud task force right before the 2008 election, despite evidence of all kinds of fraud in the 2004 election. The 2004 report has recently been scrubbed from the Internet, but in 2004 there were thousands of extra ballots counted in Milwaukee that had not been issued. And on and on.

Well, we have this, We have Minnesota with Al Franken, we have Washington State, we have Florida in 2000, hell, we have Texas and Illinois in 1960... and they still claim that we have no indications of voter fraud which would necessitate voter ID.

[mosaicwolf]

Oh I see, now intimidation or threat of violence prevents us from getting at the truth. This country is lost.

[Chgogal]

I despise McCain almost as much as President DumbA$$ (aka America's President Mugabe). I despised McCain for NOT going after Obama and his Marxist buddies. I despised McCain for telling Americans that they should not fear Obama. WELL....look at our deficit now? Look at ObamaCare! Look at the EPA! Look at our Energy Policies! Look at our once dependable ally Egypt! And what has the idiot Senator done? Effing NOTHING. NADA. Instead he saddled us with his inane blathering blithering idiot of a daughter!

[Vision]

InSane lost fair and square.

[CMailBag]

Democrats tamper with EVERY election

There—Fixed it

[saganite]

Democrats have no problem dragging out the process to the detriment of the country. If you think election fraud was a problem in the last election you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. That and some strategic voter intimidation will win an election for you.

“Im shocked..shocked I tell ya/sarc”

Thufferin’ thuccotash!

[freekitty]

Of course not. McCain had already made a deal with Soros to lose.

[Baynative]

"Anyone (conservative, or republican) found guilty of committing voter fraud faces up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine."

[SERKIT]

No wonder Eric "The Red" didn't investigate Philly.... It may have led to confirmation voter intimidation AND voter fraud, which is the prime way Dems win elections.
