1. Quick question....
What, exactly, is a Republican "owned" voting machine?

2. Diebold baby!

Diebold CEO Wally O'Dell. Diebold HQ = Ohio. O'Dell wrote a letter to the Ohio Repuke Party saying:

"I promise to deliver the votes of Ohio to *resident Bush."

And also that electronic voting machine company that Chuck Nagel's involved with, the one that delivered over 80% of the vote to HIM when he ran.

But then again, you ALREADY know about this stuff don't you?

3. All four electronic voting machine companies are owned and operated by
republican corporations, Diebold being the most publicized, recognized and nortrious...

Why should ANY, privately held company own the people's (our) voting machines?

4. Hell
No WONDER the mediawhores have conveniently got the Kaine-Kilgore race "too close to call", because we ALL know what THAT'S codespeak for. No wonder the race is now Kilgore 44% and Kaine 42%.

I remember there was some strange local race in Fairfax County, and the machine must have been rigged for the GOP woman, and it all went wrong and the Democratic candidate won and the GOP witch ran whining to a courtroom saying that she should have won.

The GOP voting machine companies DEFINATELY need to be dealt with, but for some odd reason our people don't seem to want to EVEN talk about this.

Personally I think some of our people should start their own voting machine companies...hello Ted Turner, hello Steve Bing can you spare us some dimes?

6. Hey Bubba
Edited on Tue Oct-25-05 02:52 AM by ...of J.Temperance
For a start, I'm NOT a Socialist okay. Second, I wouldn't define myself exactly as a flaming Liberal, except on a number of social issues, such as some of YOUR most loved topics like abortion and gays getting married, the raising of the minimum wage, and preserving Social Security and Medicare, all of which I'm Liberal on.

But I'm in the Center, I'm a Centrist Democrat, so don't be SO quick with your ill-advised definations. I'm also pro-States Rights, but NOT in YOUR sides way.

We do actually have documented evidence of extremely BIZARRE flip arounds that ONLY seem to occur on these, yes, Republic voting machines. Republic BECAUSE it seems that all of these companies, their ENTIRE boards and CEOs EXCLUSIVELY give money ONLY to the Republic Party and individual Republic politicians, who STRANGELY then ALL go on to win their races, EVEN if they've NEVER led in ANY poll taken.

Your side INSIST on calling us the Democrat Party, so THEREFORE, the other party MUST be called the Republic Party.

Yes the MAJORITY of big business IS Right-Wing, so DON'T be trying to pretend that it isn't.

Finally, I think perhaps this particular board is not the one you're looking for...might I suggest you check out that OTHER board who's initials happen to be F.R. That's if you're not ALREADY hanging out there.

On edit: I HOPE that the Moderators leave my post up. Come on, we need a bit of t***l slaying every now and then ;) And I didn't EXACTLY call the above poster "that name which one shouldn't refer to people as beginning with the letter F." I was rather polite.

8. Does that mean if Kilgore wins,people here are going to say it was stolen?
On the flip side, if Kaine wins a close race, does that mean that election fraud doesn't exist?

11. Yes and No
Edited on Sat Oct-29-05 02:46 AM by ...of J.Temperance
If Kilgore wins, then yes, I'll come right out and say it was stolen AND I'd be CORRECT.

If Kaine wins, then no, I'll come right out and say it wasn't stolen AND I'd be correct. Well, Kaine would have overcome the GOP election fraud, it CAN be done, look at Washington State and Governor Gregoire over that crazed Dino Rossi asshat for example.

The facts are on OUR side with this, as we do have evidence of such things happening around other parts of the country.

I would advise you to be VERY careful how you respond to my comment here.

I could smell one as well...but I successfully slayed them with my magical and tip-top answer (On Edit: Answer number 6)

Should I award myself a prize? Heck, don't mind if I do...I'll have some Milk Duds :)

12. Not sure.
My voting district still uses hand-counted paper ballots, but then again it's a fairly red area, so it's not like there's the need for Diebold.
