In all seriousness, I could care less if GWB gets impeached when the RATS take over. I would not be happy about it, but would not be sad either.

I volunteered for the GOP in 2000 and 2004 doing GOTV, Poll fraud, etc etc., never again.

Let them call illegal aliens to do GOTV and canvassing. I am through.

2. That'd be my guess too. With caveat that freep poster may have
been one of those fool tools the GOP used in their rallies in FL back in 2000.

13. No, no these were "Minuteman" types
They called themselves "Poll Guardians" or somesuch.

They were guarding against "Democrat vote theft"

5. You are rig, who knows, but
There was at least one freeper who came here after the election and voluntarily admitted knowledge of some shady phone-jambing stuff having to do with blocking access to voting machine repairs. He told the whole story about how he was working with another guy who told him why the voting lines were so long.

6. I don't think he meant particpating in Poll Fraud...
I don't think they would admit it anyway.

The one good thing is at least some of them are giving up.

7. Probably. I know a guy who participated in precinct watching, just
to make sure things were on the up-n-up and the Democrats "didn't steal another election." Seriously.

9. I'm thinking some repukes may want him impeached so they can
clean house and move one.

10. Actually what it means is the Republican party hires "volunteers" to
engage in poll watching and specifically trains them to look for particular technicalities and/or situations where they can stall the voting being implemented, where they can disqualify as many voters as possible.

So, in essence it is its own brand of voter fraud.

Remember, the only way Republicans can legitimately win these days is to cheat. They lost in 2000, 2002, and lost by huge margins in 2004, but of course because of those great little machines, in addition to this "poll watching" and other acts of cheating, we'll never know how huge that margin was.

12. Somebody's got to distribute the brochures with the wrong election dates
Honestly, they don't get out there by themselves..

This is exactly what they mean.
