Time For Edwards and Obama To Drop Out
From what I've read today from Obama supporters, Diebold has rigged the primaries for Hillary.

But apparently no candidate can talk about the rigging because they will seem like sore losers, and ruin their chance for the nomination.

So if they can't blow the whistle on the voter fraud, and this voter fraud prevents them from winning primaries, then why continue the campaign?

Why not drop out and stop taking people's money, and in Edwards' case, taxpayer money?

Makes perfect sense to me.

Basically what I'm saying to Obama supporters who think they was robbed, have the Obama campaign put up, or you can all shut up about this Diebold conspiracy theory.

2. There is no vote rigging
just because


all hand counted votes = obama win

and

all machine tabulated votes = obama loss


stop questioning and accept what the machines tell you.

3. No one was robbed, the vote was the vote for permanent war
Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 07:30 PM by still_one
Obviously the people of NH approve of her positions on the war which included the IWR and the Kyle/Lieberman amendment, which I like to affectionately call the Iran War Resolution

To me that says everything about the people of NH, and perhaps the country

Which deserves exactly what they are and probably will get

9. Are justifying her vote on that because of obama's actions?
Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 07:42 PM by still_one
Because someone else ALSO does something morally reprehensible, does that also justify your candidates position?

I really don't know who I will vote for in the primaries, but I did live through the bullshit of Viet Nam, and no one remembers its lessons. WE KILLED OVER ONE MILLION VIETNAMESE BASED ON A LIE

7. Everyone told me today that Hillary only won NH because of Diebold.
Logic follows that the Diebolders will rig all the primary elections they can for Hillary, and that makes this campaign an exercise in futility for Obama and Edwards.

17. I don't believe Diebold had much to do with it. True, I trust Diebold as much as I trust vipers
Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 08:14 PM by Sarah Ibarruri
But H. Clinton won N.H. because she won N.H.

8. What... after Hillary's one and only primary victory?
New Hampshire is Hillary's to keep. The rest will probably go to Obama.

10. Tax payer money????
Please explain oh mighty one....Please explain why money donated directly to Edwards by individual citizens that gets matched by funds collected when, yes tax payers, I will give you that, VOLUNTARILY check the $1 donation to presidential candidates box on their tax returns is a bad thing. Please explain why his money from hard working Americans who want him to fight for them is worse that the millions donated to Obama and Hillary by insurance companies, defense industry, lobbyist, oil industry, etc, etc, Please explain...

11. I think you are absolutetly correct...
Since there is no way to verify many votes, and no process in place to verify any votes..no one..except the winner... can have any faith at all that our elections are valid. Why bother? No 'sore losers', No "FRAUD!" "No Conspiracy Theories"...Let's face it..this has been going on since 2000...who cares?? It's just a game...get over it!!
