It's simple, George Bush stole his election..

And now Romney is trying to do the same thing. The Republicans started working on this voter fraud fraud even before Obama was sworn in. I think they were so ashamed that they lost to a black man, they just couldn't take it and have been working their plan...it took a lot of them, just see what they have accomplished. Incredible.

I really nervous as I think they will steal this election. They are trying to suppress voters. We need outside oversight like the UN to protect our vote.

I know I was very ticked off about it.

So was Bin Laden.

1. Election results disputed in one or more states
2. Each party goes to court for determination
3. Injunctions stopping vote counting
4. Supreme Court determining the vote and indirectly certifying the "winner" weeks after the election

14. that's why I thing the Obama team needs to figure out what the target states are that fraud and

suppression are the most likely. Then figure out how to get the numbers without these states. If that is possible.

I am NOT saying to stop fighting it, at every turn. Just try and figure out which ones they will do this to steal

This of course, assumes that they aren't robbing our votes in every state.

We can always create a scenario in which the election is stolen. But, the two best examples of modern times (Bush II defeating Gore and JFK's victory over Nixon) were extremely close elections. Obama needs to continue to take the fight to the Republicans so that he can win by a comfortable margin.

If it ain't close, it is a lot harder to steal.

GOTV must be a paramount concern this cycle.

is that they have to steal MORE. Obama won because the R's miscalculated how much they had to electronically "adjust" the margin. They won't be making that mistake again. Not only the voter suppression laws they have put in place, but the electronic "adjustments" are for the purpose of putting R's in office. Once they take power again, by packing the Supreme Court and all the little courts, we'll never see another Democrat elected to any office again. Think I'm being extreme?


Are you sure?

12. Yep. It's likely that Obama won by 30 million, not 3 million, votes...

... and the Repukes won't make that mistake again.

We must overcome the rigging.
