What he is probably lamenting is the fact that with all the snow birds staying North until Florida is repaired the vote will most decidedly swing Bush's way.

Very interesting point. Noting that Arizona is another state frequented by snowbirders maybe Teresa's comment that ''A state is not a whole state'' makes a little bit of sense after all. I did note that IF Carter commented about the snowbirders who vote twice (I doubt that he did), the BBC neglected to mention it.

Since Carter professes to be a Christain, he reminds one far more of Judas than Jesus; or in a less bibical sense the traitorous behavior, during the Revolutionary War, of Benedict Arnold.

Well put. His refusal to just shut up and butt out means that he puts on this revolting performance over and over. Surely there's a room in a nursing home somewhere with this man's name on it.

This in propaganda terms is a pre-placement story.

This one and all the "Diebold in league with Bush" and the "electronic voting is suspect" and the "disenfranchisement" stories and the like are intended to place certain ideas with the public in prep for some pointed action.

The dems have already said they will use court challenges to win, but they cannot if there is a preponderance of public opinion against the idea.

By placing the right stories for long enough you can presispose enough people to accept the concept. In this case there are hundreds of articles and stories intended to raise doubt with the voting public about our voting system.

This is discussed in several of Edward Bernay's books. Bernays would start as early as four years before his action, and would place sometimes hundreds of stories, articles, and the like before springing his main event. He even founded advocacy organizations who did nothing but release articles to the press for two or three years, then have his own press releases quoting from the advocacy groups he founded to lend credence to his main goals.

When Kerry's people start the legal processes they have planned out, there will be thousands of people who will string together years of preplacement information and will say, "geez, that's right! I heard something about that on MTV a while back!"

The DemoncRATs are just laying the groundwork for election fraud.

Sounds like Jimmah is promising a million Palm Beach Counties for 2004.


HOW GEORGE BUSH STOLE THE ELECTION

"Al, this is David Boies. I apologize for calling so late, but this won't wait."

"Look, I know you've already conceded, but I've been talking to some folks in Florida and they think they can find enough extra votes down there to give you the state in a recount."

"Just a recount in Volusia, Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties, though."

"If it goes statewide our people will be spread too thin to keep things under control."

"Do you want to give it a try? At this point you've got nothing to lose."

"That's great, Al. I'll give 'em a call and we'll get this show on the road."

"Call Bush right away to let him know you've changed your mind."

"On second thought, call a press conference first."

"Talk to you later, Mr. President."

"basic international requirements"

Is this when the UN gets to provide the only "non-partisan" observers?

Hey good point, I had never thought of that. All the NY yankees will be at home in NY this year because of the damage in Fla. They won't get to vote twice.

Although I would love to slam Jimmah, he does have a point.

From the original WP article:

Florida voting officials have proved to be highly partisan, brazenly violating a basic need for an unbiased and universally trusted authority to manage all elements of the electoral process.

Duh! And the counties with the most problems are the Dem ones.

One difference I've seen between our elections and many foreign ones that need to be observed is that the foreign ones often require thumb- or fingerprints with an indelible ink to prevent multiple votes and provide proof of ID. The election officials can't even ask for a $%##^ ID from a voter, much less a thumbprint. If we were to have ID requirements, that would cut into the Dem vote fraud so Jimmah won't even discuss that.
