Saxby "Draft Dodger" Chambliss R-GA jokes about rigged voting machines....
Edited on Thu Nov-13-03 01:31 AM by Dr Fate
...just now on CSPAN, he said- and I quote:

"I would not want a voting machine that was only accurate 98% of the time. I take that back- there are somtimes when that would be a good thing..."

approx 10:18 PM Pacific time...

2. Got serious when he remembered BBV put him in office...
...along with comparing war hero Max Cleland to bin Laden.

I can't stand that chickenhawk punk Chambliss.

14. So?
Which republican branch of the republican government is going to investigate or censure the republican?

Get it? He can stand on a soapbox on the capital steps and shout it to the world, but as long as the republicans control everything, so what. Nothing will happen.

*sigh*

15. If the DNC put all it's energy into insuring fair elections...
We would not have to worry about the '04 election. The MAJORITY of Americans tend to do the right thing at election time. Just give them the chance to have their votes counted honestly.

17. Yeah- that is what is SO funny about it!!!!
Edited on Thu Nov-13-03 01:51 AM by Dr Fate
I'm fucking rolling- my ribs are killing me...

Saxby is one jokester...

What is so funny to me is that he supports war as a 1st resort, yet refused to serve in Vietnam. He got a deferment for "bad knees", yet is an avid jogger to this day! He even listed "jogging" as a hobby on his campaign website (another good one, Sax ol' boy!)...
While Cleland was losing both of his knees in combat, Saxby was coaching girls basketball!!!

3. Beat me to the punch...
I was about to send this post but had some computer problems:

He was attempting to make some point about how 98% of *'s judges have been confirmed when that number should be 100% b/c of Constitutional responsibility or some piss-poor false justification like that. Anyway, he starts listing different things that it wouldn't be good if they were only 98% a certain way (food 98% free of E. coli, him being 98% faithful to his wife, etc.) and then the ole bastard says "It wouldn't be good to have voting machines work correctly 98% of the time. No, I take that back; there are some times when that would be a good thing." I nearly fell out of my chair!

:tinfoilhat:

Nauseating and scary...

5. Goddamned are these bastards arrogant!
Like they already know Imperial Amerika is being ground under their "Iron Hammer" and there's nothing we Subjects can do about it.

But it is our duty as Patriotic Free Americans to insure this doesn't happen!

12. We should give this to our guy running for office on this issue.
The guy running for SoS in washington state. Wouldn't it be great if he called out a senator. Imagine the press.

9. Disgusting!
What's so scary about this "debate" is that they are putting it all out there. Only next to no one is watching :(

Republicans make me sick.

10. My jaw just about dropped when I heard that,
and the Dems are just going to let it slide.

Cmon guys, you have 23 more hours, why not call them on things like this?

16. Any Democrat challenging him has got to beat Diebold BBV first
Georgia is 100% unverifiable PC voting.
