Clintons and other left-wing liars [what I KNOW about election 2000]
Precinct counts, voting machine data, AP election data, eye-witnesses....etc. | August 20, 2003 | Me

Posted on 08/20/2003 2:05:40 PM PDT by Ragtime Cowgirl

As a Florida Republican, I listened to the press lie through the 2000 recounts, pause for an obscenely short time after 9-11, and pick up the refrain - the campaign of lies..."Gore won" "Bush is selected."

Remember when the press "discovered" the old mildly-intoxicated-while-driving Bush "scandal" a week before the election? Coincidentally, earlier that same day, Janet Reno told the press that she would be opening an investigation into Al Gore's pulling the plug on a multi-year drug investigation (after the Houston detectives cried foul at the cover-up) because the #1 suspect made a BIG $$$ donation to Al's campaign. A mob of "mainstream" journalists chased the ancient DUI story. The Washington Times reported the Gore story, too.

When I asked a local SW Florida NBC-TV news manager why the Gore story was being covered-up, following three days of "DUI" coverage into the weekend before election day, this news boss said of the Washington Times, "That right-wing rag?! It's owned by the Moonies." I asked him whether he believed that Janet Reno would grant the Washington Times an exclusive? He conceded the point, but no mention of the Gore story appeared on his news channel or in the mainstream media. No daily reports from NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, NY Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Boston Globe, NPR + the INTER-national press - or press mobs chasing Gore across parking lots demanding that he spill all.

Can we say "left-wing" media? Popular vote?

Florida Republicans fought the attempted election theft by the Florida Dem. election machine and their army of lawyers who descended on our fair state during election 2000. Surprise, we didn't let them steal the election. We bypassed the DNC press and informed ourselves and our neighbors. We now have the internet, can go directly to sources and share information with neighbors and friends.

 
Two years later: Fla., pre-election 2002:
 
 "Jeb is gone!" Mr. McAuliffe declared brazenly, brushing aside the determination of the White House to protect the president's brother. "There won't be anything as devastating to President Bush as his brother's losing in Florida."    --Terry McAuliffe, DNC Chairman, NY Times, Oct. 23, 2002
 
Dem leaders based election 2002 on the revenge of the disenfranchised Dem 2000 voters.
 
On Nov. 5, 2002, Florida voters, both Republican and Democrat, voted fair and square (again) and 1) re-elected Jeb Bush - first Republican Governor re-elected in Florida's history; 2) elected Katherine Harris to Congress; 3) elected a 100% Republican Cabinet; 4) elected a majority of Republicans to the Florida House;  5) didn't elect Al Gore's Fla. campaign manager and former Fla. A.G. Bob Butterworth or 6) Carol Roberts, Palm Beach County Democrat and election accuser; 7) Republicans took back the federal Senate; 8) Republican Governors won across the nation.
 
After being told by the DNC leaders that Florida voters would turn out in droves to avenge election 2000 - Florida voters did turn out and overwhelmingly validated election 2000.
 
How did the 'unbiased press' deal with this PRO-GOP election?  By giving "we the people" a week of NANCY PELOSI, newly elected Democrat House minority leader.
 

Some of what the left-wing media left out of the 2000 election re-re-recount coverage:

While the Democrats are still blaming those Votomatic punch card machines (like the one in Palm Beach) for Gore's loss, it was Bush who was hurt in the Votomatic counties...including my Republican Lee County. Impeachment manager Bill McCollum received more votes for Senate than did George W. Bush for President in Lee, Palm Beach, Charlotte counties. Think about that. Voters voted for Bill McCollum and Al Gore?

Oh, and those "hick" counties, the "red" counties in Florida with fewer than 10,000 voters? All but one of those 22 Florida counties voted for BUSH and they are ALL Democrat-majority counties with Dem. election personnel...and ALL recounted (as did EVERY county in Florida (just not 2 or 3 times 'til ballots could be manipulated for Gore))- and the HONEST Democrats in the small Florida counties showed mostly single digit changes in the recounts, mostly insignificant. As a friend said, "my Democratic neighbors are southern Democrats with family values and they don't trust Gore."

Did you hear of a Republican* voting twice? Republican* felons voting in large blocks? Republican* illegal immigrants? Republicans* in nursing homes and hospitals "helping" incompetent patients vote? Republicans* adding non-resident names to the voting rosters at the polling locations? Republicans* poking holes in ballots/ eating chads? Writing books about recounts and how to win elections by manipulating ballots? Did Republicans* have a GOTV center set up in a Palm Beach law office, with "ballot protest" forms and a telecom company (a little bankrupt firm called Telequest that sold to a company from India days later for millions $$), set up in advance, as well as a team of lawyers ready to put the "recount" campaign in place? Did a Republican* lawyer lie about an Illinois "dimple decision" to the national press and in court? Did Republicans* go into the inner cities and tell the voters that George W. Bush would send them back to slavery? Did a Republican* Florida Supreme Court ignore existing state law to allow carefully selected Republican* counties  recounts, and then change the laws as it was necessary to help Republicans*? Did a Republican* send a memo to every one of 67 counties - not based on Florida law - telling poll workers how to disqualify military ballots? Did Republicans* prevent over  500 Florida students from Liberty University (Jerry Falwell's school) from receiving their absentee ballots? Did Republicans* misdirect military mail? Make it exceedingly difficult for military overseas to vote? Did the Republican* press cover up the massive Dem. dirty tricks? Did a Republican* Florida elect our Republican House, Republican Governor and GHW Bush over Bill Clinton in 1992? Is the Republican* press still lying?


No.

* Democrat(s)

The false charge of "racism" was the most destructive lie of all...the DNC knew exactly how that lie would play in the inner cities where they frightened young children and incited hatred. Teachers and parents comforted children who were  terrified that Pres. Bush would make them slaves.

"Racist" Republican Bush was a topic of discussion at the UN conference on racism, where American "civil rights" "leaders" carried out their post-election 2000 campaign of deceit in front of an international audience and sympathetic left-wing press.

Leaders from over 180 nations  listened as speakers railed against the "racist" American leadership during a week of Bush, American and Israel bashing, taking home the message to their respective countries. What enemy of America wouldn't be encouraged by this display of international enmity against US? The UN "racism" conference ended two days before 9-11-01.

Don't bother trying to find this info in America's textbooks, University websites, press accounts. You probably won't find the AP graph showing the before and after recount totals from all 67 Florida counties, and the Palm Beach voting records? Accidentally destroyed.

At the end of the day, election 2002 was the smoking gun that exposed both the lack of gravitas and pattern of deceit by a puffed-up, partisan far-left press, international PR agents of the shady, scheming, mean-spirited socialists, bullies, despots and scoundrels - aka the Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy.

I'm not sure if this is the same recount graph you're looking for, but here is one from USA Today.

Several precints in PA, mostly around Philly, had more than 100% registerd voter turnout. In many of those, 95% or more "voted" for Gore.

Hasn't anyone else but me realized that the only reason they had so many "hanging chads" in Florida was due to them getting more than one, probably 5 or more, punch ballots at a time?????

The power and energy to punch a hole through a perforated piece of paper next to a name is far less than opening the door of the car that got the voter there. Rush got one of those machines from Florida, as others did, and NO ONE could NOT punch the hole completely through the thin, perforated paper.

The only logical conclusion is that there were more than one ballot in the machine at the time. But of course, these Florida counties don't bother to actually NUMBER them and check off the number used versus the voters on the rolls or the voters that showed up.

But then again, they don't even bother to check ID's and probably didn't even make people sign in. That's the voter fraud being committed by Democrats.

But of course they have the audacity to come out and accuse Republicans, as Gray Doofus did, of stealing elections. It's so comical.

I love watching the liberal Dems bubble of power burst.

I understood not going after the fraud too hard in 2000, but I don't excuse 2002.

South Dakota alone would have put half the Dems in that state in jail.

You are correct.

I make the same point later. Wish I had read further before I did. They had multiple ballots in those punch card machines.

One contention in your post... I find it's often (check the figures) that sometimes some races like Senate or for the House or local ones receive more votes than the total that voted for President.

I myself have wondered about his for years. For example, in Tenn, in 1996 the Fred Thompson Senate race had more total votes than that for President and even beat out the total of all House votes.

This means simply that some people, for whatever reason, vote locally for state politicians and U.S. representatives but for some reason don't bother voting for president. I know, it's weird.

But the Gore people are just as confused and, if you remember, tried to count non votes for president for Gore because of "voter intent" since they punched all other Democrats on the card (probably the stupidist argument made during the recount). They too didn't understand why someone wouldn't vote in all races.

You know if you grow up in America, watch American TV and movies, read American papers, go to American schools - without adult guidance and instruction - you are, as an American, a brainwashed, left-wing useful idiot by the time you reach adulthood.

There's a lot of truth to that - and thanks for your OP, a great read. The important thing to remember though - proving evidence of voter fraud is great - but _nobody cares_ apparently. This is the shabby little secret to the machinations of "liberals" - they are leftist-authoritarian, fabian, etc. Power is key, and they don't care how they get it or maintain it.

I just read your post #82 - good one. You add a lot of info. I can't remember this issue (multiple cards) being brought up at all during that whole recount process by the media or anyone else.

It isn't, jellybean, still it is something accessible that shows, at least, that every county DID recount. Thank you.

The AP graph shows single digit recount changes for most of the 67 Florida counties. It shows a few other anomalies as well, ie the last minute bag of ballots - votes for Gore - found and added to Pinellas County totals.

I understand about local votes, but the three Votomatic counties I specifically mentioned where McCollum received more votes than Bush were odd for other reasons - I simply didn't want to get bogged down in detail making the larger point. The Votomatic counties were better counties for Gore. He received a larger % of his registered Dem. votes overall in punch card counties. His top 50% counties were ALL punch card counties. Bush's worst counties - Republican votes vs. registered Republicans - were punch card counties - especially Votomatic counties.

nobody cares

Oftentimes, I find, they simply didn't know.

We can make a difference. Freepers prove that regularly. We rallied the nation during election 2000 with the help of conservative radio, press and FN.

We can help the 'friendly' press, be the messengers - even be the press, thanks to Al Gore's invention.

One more time.

Bush won in 2000 - and in 2002.

Please feel free to share your Florida election memories and forward this to anyone still confused by lies from the legions of leftists still trumpeting 'Gore won' from their powerful press platforms, undermining our CIC's authority at home and abroad - during wartime, post 9-11.

Had a business trip to Austin TX during the 2000 recount--or was it during the re-re-recount...

Had an American flag packed in my suitcase just in case the election was decided while I was there. Was ready to dash over to the State Capitol and/or Governor's Mansion at a moment's notice.

Unfortunately, it was another week or so before we heard the good news.

The state of PA was stolen from Bush by the democrats in inner city Philly precints who pushed Gore - more voters turned out in certain (democrat) precints than there were people eligible to vote!

As was the case in inner city (Detroit mainly) precints that stole Michigan.

I don't think vote fraud played much a role in NY for Hillary! .... Though her campaign was (as usual) plagued with money fraud and influence buying.
