"Lou Dobbs' program floated this same topic - Democrats Boycotting the elections because of BBV.

This is tranparent play on the part of Rove and Bushco.

WE MUST TURN OUT IN HUGE NUMBERS"

[HeeBGBz]

1. They wish we would boycott

Not a chance.

2. Overwhelm the republican crooks !!

Vote !!!

[DoYouEverWonder]

3. They might be talking about it on Free Republic

but I don't think I've ever seen anyone even suggest such a thing on DU.

4. What's BBV? n/t

9. Black Box Voting - Electronic Voting Machines

5. I have been working on friends/family members

that I know do not vote, encouraging them to register, etc. for months now. We need everyone to take the time to vote!!!!

6. Sounds like a pre-emptive argument for "plausibly" narrowing the

gap so that elections can continue to be stolen. They'll put this meme out, to help explain last-minute "gains" by Rethug candidates.

8. Your'e smart -- yes, that's how they work -- we need to expose it NOW

[Hugin]

16. Yep, "Plausibility" is a big big arrow in Rove's quiver.

Uses it *all* the time... Run up every poll to where it's just
plausible that what they say is true.

Method 1: "split" the opposition's message so that your guaranteed 30%
looks competitive.

Method 2: Suppress just enough of the opposition to make it look even.

Method 3: Don't tell the opposition you've got a vote going so they miss it.

I think there's a book around with more of these.

7. I haven't missed an election in years, I'm not gonna start now

And I haven't voted for a republican since 1976.

[madokie]

13. damn sure ain't going to set this one out, it being possibly the last one

I have only voted for a couple local repukes when I was young, dumb and full of, you know what

[BOSSHOG]

18. I voted

for Gerald Ford in 76. I was 22 at the time, and I liked President Ford; that was one decision Nixon made that turned out pretty good for the country.

[fasttense]

10. And yet a recent poll indicates Democratic members are

more enthusiastic and determined to vote than Repubs. Hmm, I think someone is spinning.

[Dawgs]

11. I'm sorry -- Where did you hear this?

Was this an advertisement?

[snappyturtle]

12. It was on Lou Dobbs last night.....

there was a poll asking if you'd consider not voting in light of BBV. I thought it was very strangely worded and I pulled it up on Lou Dobbs' website this morning and voted on the poll. That was a couple of hours ago and they only had a little over 7000 votes....pretty small for one of his polls......just struck me odd that Lou would even suggest such a thing.

[Hugin]

14. Why would Democrats boycott the elections?

I have NEVER heard any prominent or not-so-prominent Democrat
advocate such a thing.

[Dr.Phool]

15. We've been urging everyone to vote by absentee ballot

It leaves a paper trail, and you don't have to provide an excuse or reason in Florida.
