Kerry cites voter intimidation examples
2005-04-11
(AP) -- Many voters in last year's presidential election were denied access to the polls through trickery and intimidation, former Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry told a voters' group Sunday.
how many? Got a number? Anything more than vague anecdotes?
"Last year too many people were denied their right to vote, too many who tried to vote were intimidated," the Massachusetts senator said at an event sponsored by the state League of Women Voters.
Hey, when you told MTP taht you'd sign form 180, did you mean before the '08 campaign??
"There is no magic wand. No one person is going to stand up and suddenly say it's going to change tomorrow. You have to do that," he said.
WTF?
Kerry supporters have charged that voting irregularities in largely Democratic areas made it difficult for voters to cast ballots in the November election. A lawsuit in Ohio cited long lines and a shortage of voting machines in predominantly minority neighborhoods, but the Ohio Supreme Court dismissed the suit.
Since Donks run those county ops....idjits
Board of Elections for Cuyahoga County (Cleveland and surrounding suburbs) has four members, two Donks and two Reptiles. Hard to imagine either party getting away with the kind of chicanery that Kerry alleges.
Kerry also cited examples Sunday of how people were duped into not voting. "Leaflets are handed out saying Democrats vote on Wednesday, Republicans vote on Tuesday. People are told in telephone calls that if you've ever had a parking ticket, you're not allowed to vote," he said.
Anyone fooled by that is still looking for Prince Albert in a can. Bart Simpson does better than that, and he's an animated child
How dumb do you have to be to get misled on the day to vote? And should people that dumb be allowed to vote?
Kerry has never disputed the outcome of election, saying voting irregularities did not involve enough votes to change the result. Bush won the pivotal state of Ohio by 118,000 votes, giving him enough electoral votes to win re-election.
crushing the lawyer legions Kerry and his Mommy had lined up
Bush supporters have denied using voter intimidation tactics to keep people from going to the polls. A call to the Republican National Committee media office was not immediately returned Sunday.

#12  And it's only been 71 days since he said he'd sign a Form 180 to release his records. Guess he's been too delusional.

#11  Kerry: OK Doc, what is it?
Doctor: I'm sorry, Senator Kerry, but you have Algore Syndrome.
Kerry: Is it fatal?
Doctor: No, but it is incurable.
Kerry: What are the symptoms.
Doctor: Rampant paranoia, delusions of grandeur, bizarre outbursts, and an inexplicable desire to hang around with Al Franken.
Kerry: Ewww! The first part sounds OK (Teresa won't even notice the difference), but Al Franken. Is there no cure?
Doctor: I'm afraid not. If only the NIH would fund a study of this syndrome.
Kerry: I blame this administration!

#10  Kerry's problem is that he is the Monday morning president.

#9  Leaflets are handed out saying Democrats vote on Wednesday, Republicans vote on Tuesday.

Damn, Jawn. I'll bet you were really banking on that idiot bloc vote weren't you?

#8  "Leaflets are handed out saying Democrats vote on Wednesday, Republicans vote on Tuesday." I can see it now: A group of Donks are sitting at the 'All Natural Veggie Bar' on Tuesday saying "Just wait till we vote tomorrow!" That's almost as good as the one about roadblocks in Black districts in Florida. To this date there has been NO valid claim that this happened.

#6  First it was the dumb voters, then it was his dumb staff who mislead him. Now it's the voters again, but this time, they weren't dumb, they were mislead. Yeeeeaaaahhhhh.....

#5  Hey, enough with the "Prince Albert in a can" stuff, okay? I'm mourning here.
But , yes, Kerry does appear to be quite the asshole...

Show me a leaflet. Plus, anyone who believes this may not be eligible to vote anyway. Isn't there something about mental competentcy being necessary to vote?

Now we have a list :

Aesop's Fables
Kipling's Just-So Stories
and
Kerry's Fantasies

#2  Why anybody (excluding the benighted citizens of Massatushits) cares what JF'nK thinks is beyond me.

Sit down and shut up, Senator. You lost.
Learn to deal with disappointment.
