Unmarked Mailers Seek to Secretly Kneecap GOP Turnout
The Daily Beast ^ | November 18, 2018 | Lachlan Markay

Posted on 11/01/2018 12:40:55 PM PDT by familyop

A series of last-minute direct-mail pieces are seeking to depress Republican turnout in key congressional races, and whoever is behind the mailers is a mystery, drawing allegations of illegal politicking...the Rosendale campaign identified the company Allied Printing Resources...and its work with Democratic organizations...particularly the League of Conservation Voters...Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and EMILY’s List...

I recommend reading the full article and the following very interesting article for a full understanding. They're short and easy to read.

The left (those who get their Ego satisfaction out of controlling people) operate under the policy of “The end justifies the means”

the League of Conservation Voters..

Huh.

Almost but not quite "The League of Conservative Voters".

Something you would miss if you were reading it fast.

Not quite false advertising as they do want to "Conserve" their power.

It doesn't have to be a lot. It just has to be enough.

Despite all the warnings a few people still fall for phone and email scams.

I know a guy who’s a flaming liberal.
He also owns guns.
I asked him why in the world does he vote against his own interests. He had no response. SMH

All these last minute tricks make me think the democrats are mighty nervous. I guess they know something about the polls that the media isn’t sharing with us.

About 99% of voters in every state just put a recycling bin under their mailbox during the election season.

So far I’ve recycled several tubs of campaign flyers.

The Marxist RATs must have run out of “dead” voters early.

There’s a democrat running in Maryland against the lone Republican Congressman Andy Harris. I saw his ad yesterday on TV. He and his wife are target shooting handguns at the range. The narration was sort of disjointed and mentioned that he wouldn’t vote with Nancy Pelosi,

So why run? Andy Harris won’t vote Pelosi either. Democrats are raving anti-gun lunatics which guarantees that if this guy, Jesse Colvin wins, he won’t get any good assignments and will be a backbencher.

I don’t even know if I’ve received this or not - I quit reading them a couple months ago. This is also what I do - walk right past the recycling bin in the garage and the junk mail never enters the house.

I’ve forgot about the Babylon Bee. Hilarious headlines “Weird: This Kid Woke Up To Find All His Best Candy Was Raptured” and “God Condemns Washington DC After Being Unable To Find Ten Righteous People There”.

Sounds like the word has come down from MSM-Democrat Central to say whatever will get elected, and that includes lying your ass off.

Lying is not new for leftists. It’s written into their “code of conduct”. Almost like a sacrament

About 10 years ago I was in Arkansas and Oklahoma visiting relatives. Every single one of them Christians and every single one of them Democrats. I asked all of them....if you’re Christian how can you vote for a Democrat? They kill babies. Every single one of them believes in abortion. No one had a good answer for me but about 6 years ago they all started switching their Registrations. They’re all Republicans now. I hope I am the one that helped them see the light.
