LEAKED STRATFOR EMAILS: Democrats Manipulated The 2008 Flickr/jamesomalley

A successful challenge of Obama's wins in Pennsylvania and Ohio would not have overturned his victory but would have tarnished the subsequent celebratory atmosphere.

John McCain's 2008 campaign staff allegedly had evidence that Democrats stuffed ballot boxes in Pennsylvania and Ohio on election night, but McCain chose not to pursue voter fraud, according to internal Stratfor emails published by WikiLeaks.

In an email sent on November 7, 2008, and titled " Insight - The Dems & Dirty Tricks ** Internal Use Only - Pls Do Not Forward **," Stratfor vice president of intelligence Fred Burton wrote:

If true, McCain and his staff WILLFULLY disenfranchised voters in OH and PA.
IMO, there is absolutely no integrity in the American electorial system.

McCain was always the wrong candidate. He knew it, the party knew it, and everyone else knew it. He ran for the senate not president.

Dems vote the dead - but they also vote the people who don’t show up to vote. That’s where the real numbers advantage lies...

He lost by over a quarter million votes in Ohio and over 600,000 in Pennsylvania. They would have never been able to prove that many fraudulent votes, but even a single case of vote fraud dilutes the votes of every legitimate voter and should be prosecuted vigorously.

The Nov. 7 email also contains allegations that Democrats made a "six-figure donation" to Rev. Jesse Jackson to silence him on the topic of Israel after an October 2008 interview in which he said Obama’s presidency would remove the clout of “Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades.”

Burton, who appears to be friendly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, wrote:

2) It appears the Dems "made a donation" to Rev. Jesse (no, they would never do that!) to keep his yap shut after his diatribe about the Jews and Israel. A little bird told me it was a "nice six-figure donation". This also becomes a matter of how and when to out.

The email also refers to an accusation that Obama's campaign took money from Russia, recalling memories of Bill Clinton's 1996 presidential campaign when the Justice Department uncovered evidence that China sought to make direct contributions to the Democratic National Committee.

This election is going to be all out warfare. The communists will not give up their thirst and grip on power easily.

Why do Democrats HAVE to win these political offices? Because that’s where the money is.

Democrats - Thieves, Thugs, Thralls and Thickheads

OK, McCain and others. Tell us HOW they stuffed the ballot boxes, HOW they registered people to do so in order to stop this shiite. I know of some of the ways, but I don’t know all of them. REPEAL MOTOR VOTER LAW. After all, poor people can’t afford ID, so they can’t afford cars or a license.

"McCain decided not to pursue the voter fraud in PA and Ohio, despite his staff's desire to make it an issue. He said no. Staff felt they could get a federal injunction to stop the process. McCain felt the crowds assembled in support of Obama and such would be detrimental to our country and it would do our nation no good for this to drag out like last go around, coupled with the possibility of domestic violence."

If McCain is this much of a coward it's disgusting..
