Just out of curiosity, how many Freepers put a lot of credence in WND?
They lost me at “Illuminati”.
I like WND.
Don’t read it too often, but, yeah, I like it.
Exactly 3...
I used to. They seem to have veered. Too much conspiracy nonsense and apocalyptic screaming.
Illuminati. Good grief.

What’s that got do with anything if the facts the article is based on are true?
I used to read WND a lot back when it started, but these days I take them with a huge grain of salt when I see something coming from them. To me they are as believable as Infowars. Neither is what I would call trustworthy entirely.
But that’s just my opinion.
I put none. Just a conspiracy theory site and not a very good one (to be fair, I’m not sure there are any “good ones”). Like most, they just throw it at the wall and see what sticks. If they told me the sun was shining at mid-day I’d have to go outside to look up and make sure.
When it comes to vote fraud you can't trust anybody ~ we make a mistake here always imagining that it's just the Democrats involved in this stuff. As we saw with the Virginia present primary, even the Mittbots were not above irregularities.
Well, actually, I could never understand how that guy got elected in Massachusetts without some widespread fraud ~ like they are ALL Democrats up there, so, no surprise eh.
Then there's a whole series of voter registration issues raised and dealt with since George W. Bush' election to his second term. Folks were hot for reform. They may have got it. GOP vote totals in 2008 were 4 million below what they were in 2004! Democrat totals were much higher than earlier, but you know what, with the massive voter registration and get out the vote campaigns they had going on it's entirely possible they gained barely more than what they were losing anyway.
When things fell back to normal in 2012, they still won the 'present', as well as the Senate and House seats they had in the Blue states anyway, but they made no headway in the Red states.
Every single item brought up for our consideration as an element in a massive Democrat sponsored vote fraud operation may have made no difference ~ just Democrats habitually trying to trick the system even though they, themselves, may have cleaned up the background problems and were getting little or no gain out of it.
My contribution to cleaning up voter registration files has been the recommendation to run those address files against Move Update, and isolate all records showing a change of address. Focus on validating them rather than every single thing. That's what was done with welfare records back in 1996. The states used Move Update and removed half the welfare recipients before the Welfare To Work provisions even kicked into effect.
I like WND but hate it when they link to one of those videos that makes you listen to the whole thing with no ability to skip ahead
You never know how long it is until you start, and I cant listen to a 20 minute video at work and I can’t start where I left off when I get home- I have to listen to the entire thing again
That is when I give up
World Nut Daily had very little credibility prior to perpetuating the jet contrail as a NORK missile plume. Farah et al suffer from cranial rectumitis.
WorldNetDaily used to be widely referred to as "WorldNutDaily" on this site.
Then they started saying a lot of things that a bunch of people here liked and wished to be true, such as their widespread claims that Obama's birth certificate is a forgery. And so forth.
The fact is, we lost. And we will never regain the Presidency by directing our energies to combat largely non-existent and mostly irrelevant "widespread vote fraud."
Now I'm not saying there we no examples of vote fraud in the election. But it wasn't the major reason why we lost.
We lost because more Americans in the critical states voted for the smooth-talking liberal, than voted for the guy we were supporting. We lost because our big, hugely population cities are more full of blue voters than red voters. And we also lost because an incumbent is darn hard to beat, even when he's not the object of misplaced hero worship.
We'll have a better shot at it in 4 years. IF we field the right candidate. Historically, Americans usually give the Presidency to one party for 8 years, then get tired of them and throw them out in a search for some greener pastures.
