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 remember hearing about overvotes - both Bush and Gore's tabs were punched - rendering them null and void. Were there ever any tabulations done on showing whether the rest of these tickets were punched in favor of Reps or Dems or just left blank?

I urge anyone who hasn't done so yet to get their own personal copy of Katherine Harris's book "Center of the Storm".

She tells exactly how, as FL Secretary of State, she followed FL Election laws in the 2000 election.

Of course the demonRATs don't not want to be confused by the facts expecially when their lies are refuted by facts!

Let's see: The Schnellinburg's with votomatic machines and ballots in their car's trunks. Carol Roberts...One: Punching out chads with her finger while recounting ballots. Two: Carol Roberts trying to count ballots behind closed doors (just like in Miami-Dade).

The small number of liberals who did come out would spit, shout profanity, throw cans, tear down signs... I know because I (and a bunch of Freepers) were there.

Oh, and one more thing, there were NO problems with the voting or recounts in Pinellas county. Black, white, yellow, green, chads, times, disenfranchise, etc...period.

If your a liberal reading this and don't believe it, go to http://www.myflorida.com and see for yourself...nevermind, you believe Jeb rigged the election. A$$hole.

We know that in some Black precincts in Philly 125% of the registered voters voted, primarily for gore.

Oh really? Please cite a source or precinct number. That was looked into thoroughly here on FR, and no evidence or precinct was ever found. At the time the allegation was 99% turnout, but its been growing every time the myth has been retold.

Philly is politically a rough town, and certainly fraud may have occurred, but I have yet to see any proof or even circumstantial evidence, just the same old rumors and myths. Very different from Florida, Missouri, and '02 South Dakota.

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!

What evidence do you have to back up that claim? Show me a FR thread with proof or verifiable circumstantial evidence, not just the allegation/myth.

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

Proof please. Do you have a source, precinct numbers, or Free Republic threads with proof or verifiable circumstantial evidence? So far that oft-repeated story has been a myth, with no one ever able to cite a precinct or source, beyond just rumors.

Didn't some of you guys look into the allegations of precincts in Philly having 99% turnout in the 2000 election? Did ya'll ever come across any evidence or precinct numbers where this was supposed to have occurred, anything besides just rumors?

You'll be lucky if you get any proof here. I did once have the information about which precincts were the guilty ones, but I didn't save it.
The importance of this information today is so that the GOP can make sure that the 2004 elections don't have the same problem.
And if the Dems were being honest, they shouldn't care.

I did a very systematic study of each precinct in Philadelphia, looking a turnout versus registration, and found no pattern of any vote fraud. Some black precincts had very low turnout, and some matched high turnout white precincts. There was one precinct with a 101% turnout, which I assume was a typo, and one with about 98%. Almost all precincts had turnouts less than 90%, and most less than 60%, including most black precincts. So any vote fraud would have to arise from having lots of phony registered voters that show up at the polls. But Philly's turnout vis a vis its population is not out of line.

I suspect it is all an urban legend, and wishful Pubbie thinking.

Thanks for the quick reply, I had a feeling that you were the one who diligently looked into it. But does the single precinct with 98% turnout raise your eyebrows?(for some reason I didn't think there were any in Philly that got that high) Isn't 98% unheard of? So are the size of the precincts small enough that any attempts to ballot stuff in just 1 or 2 precincts would not provide a significant number of votes to the tally?
