That's what I wondered. Someone doesn't win somewhere and they whine like Al Gore?

Al Gore will collect millions doing angry speeches in Italy.

[AmishDude]

LOL!

[Paperdoll]

Whew! Well, I guess if it can happen in the Washington State Governor's race (where fraud did occur by the Democrats) it can happen in sleepy little Italy, where the same bullies are calling the shots.

Italy, Elections & Fraud - are all the same thing. A better election headline would have been ITALY HOLD ELECTION "Don't forget to vote again next year"

There's an important difference between algore and the current situation in Italy.

There's a very strong,and very determined and very active Communist Party in place in Italy.

It happens in Detroit, Philadelphia, Chicago, etc. every statewide and national election. It is how the Dem big city political machines counter the rest of the state and win for the Dems.

Sounds like Al "Armand Hamer" Gore to me.

[USNBandit]

Unless, of course, it is held in Venezuela. Then Chavez is the undisputed winner of the fairest elections ever held.

[GSlob]

Well. and we have about equally determined lefties of our own. So, where is "an important difference"?

[doctor noe]

If the shoe were on the other foot, his opponent would have claimed the same thing.

[iPod Shuffle]

I suspect there would be quite a few Communist reps. in Congress if we had proportional representation. With the two party system, communists simply call themselves "Democrats".

I have seen fraud or attempted fraud by dims in EVERY ELECTION THAT I HAVE WORKED! Fraud accounts for up to 10% of the total vote counts in national elections. In some cases I have seen as many fraudulent ballots as legit ones. The MSM has carefully covered up for the dim party on the scale and scope of vote fraud for many years. They will do the the same this year. Wake up, get involved, and volunteer to work in the 2006 races. Freep On!
