Fox News reporting 57% turnout in Iraqi elections...LOL n/t

[DrWeird]

1. Couldn't be scripted better.

Although I'm sure they tried.

[rodeodance]

2. Do they have there own 'exit polls"?

[DeaconBlues]

3. maybe 57% of the collaborators entrenched in the Green Zone

I doubt the numbers are anywhere close to that anywhere else in the country

[Botany]

4. Well, since it is on faux news ..... it has to be true.

Come on if we can't trust faux who can we trust? I only watch faux long
enough to see what color "Porn star lip gloss," the news Barbies are wearing.

:bounce:

[JohnnyRingo]

5. 42% voting for "moral values"

...38% for "Freedom"
20% "none of the above"

Another mandate

[theresistance]

6. How the hell do they know this?

[NYC]

7. 57% of what?

[DrWeird]

8. 57% of the people who start off across the parking lot...

make it through the front doors.

[NYC]

37. I think you got the right answer.

:hi:

[rooboy]

9. 57% of the 13 million registered voters...

but they were "preliminary" numbers.

I think it was just 57% of Iyad Allawi who voted. The other 43% will be removed by a suicide bomber sometime in the next few days.

[LynnTheDem]

10. Wow so they have a count already! AMAZING!

57%! Such pinpoint accuracy!

Yeah maybe "57% of 10% of the entire populaiton of Iraq", lol!

[Hissyspit]

11. I think the question bears repeating... How The Hell Do They Know This?

[Botany]

13. Just like Condi can say 3/4 of al Qaeda's leaders have been ......

..... caught or killed. Fox is just a paid p.r. firm for bush & company.
Lies do not bother them.


:bounce:

[Scurrilous]

15. Don't forget...

...they also caught the guy responsible for 75% of the bombings. All these bombs going off recently are part of the other 25%. :thumbsup:

[spinbaby]

19. Of course they don't know

The Americans are holed up in their bunkers while Iraqis have "elections" and things randomly blow up.

[Hissyspit]

30. I was being sarcastic, of course...

[K-W]

40. They define waht eligible voter means.

Thats how they know this.

[cali]

12. The Iraqi election is a cynical

and unforgivable sham, and Faux News is the propaganda arm of bushco. I believe nothing emanating from their airwaves.

[Mike Niendorff]

14. And, in a breaking story:

Fox News projects that the winner of today's historic and glorious Iraqi elections is ... George W. Bush!


MDN

[rodeodance]

17. Bush is the winner to many as these elections are viewed as a success

The smirks/bragging/gloating about Freedom will be nauseating as the day progresses. It is a huge notch in Bush's gun--have no doubt that!!

[ps1074]

16. No way - pure BS

Turnout abroad is 60% or so. But only 10% of the eligable have registered.

Saw a report from Brent Sadler (sp) in Yemen where close to 60% of registered voters have voted during the last 3 days. But only 16,000 have registered out of 250,000 eligable.

There is no way for Fox to know hte voter turnout in Iraq since no exit polls are available.

IMHO the final turnout will be 20% or so.

[rodeodance]

18. Has nothing to do turnout/deaths--The fact that the election took place

IS the success. That is the point.

[Bark Bark Bark]

22. *But*

Remember when everybody was so excited about the transfer of sovergnity? Many mentally equated that with the return of our soldiers and an end to the bloodshed. Gradually (with the help of the MSM), it sunk in:

Nothing had changed. Except things were actually getting worse.

The "election" is a repeat of this. Another benchmark that means zip. At the very best, it is the beginning of our "cut-and-run" stage of Nation Building Bush-Style, where (as in Afghanistan) we rapidly slip away and try to maintain some pretense that most of the country hasn't reverted right back to where it was when we started bombing everyone.

[rodeodance]

24. "we" know this-but "they" do not think this way. "they" win today

according to them----and they have the msm under their pinkies to broadcast it repeatedly.

[McFlyGuy]

20. Yeah right!

57%? Chimpy wishes!

[Disturbed]

23. Bush's gun-

The one they took from Saddam?

[jfern]

21. They asked 7 Iraqis

4 had voted

[Scurrilous]

25. They probably polled ...

...their room service staff at the Palestine Hotel.

[rodeodance]

26. Fox just said about 50-55 % --called it a "success"

[rodeodance]

28. 2 hours left--now Fox says turnout may exceed 60%

[izzie]

27. Come on they can not even count who has been killed.

Where did they get those crazy numbers?

[rodeodance]

29. their source is part of "state" secrets

[rodeodance]

31. Fox just announced 72% turnout

[Richard Steele]

32. This is sickening!

So many polling places are totally deserted...Faux must be counting pre-marked ballots which were airlifted into the Green Zone.

Even Saddam ran better phoney elections than this!

[Berserker]

33. CNN is at 72% just reported

[rodeodance]

34. Fox had a Reuters banner -I am guessing Cnn had the same

[spanone]

38. We will NEVER know and it won't matter. Bush* wins the PR battle again.

I'll give it to them, this tactic of low expectations is utterly fucking amazing, you think we'd catch on by now. Kerry said yesterday that they knew they were gonna have a strong turnout therefore they encouraged all the 'low voter turnout talk' so when the numbers come in everybody (especially the press) is ga-ga.

[TWiley]

35. Why of course they did.

72% of the 14% who registered in the 48% of Iraq where it is considered safe enough to have polls made it to support somoneone they know nothing about.

The election will likely be decided by votes outside the country, and we all know how well that works out.

Of the votes collected from outside the United States in 2000 and 2004, most supported chimp. Suprise suprise.
