For those who think it is unrealistic to think they could actually rig the elections look at what Congressman Peter King (R) NY had to say about the 2004 election in the summer of 2003 a White House Barbecue.


In Alex Pelosi's HBO film "Diary of a Political Tourist" catches a tipsy Congressman Peter King making a comment at a White House function before the election had been finished that, "It's already over. The Election's over. We Won."

When Pelosi asks, "How do you know that?" King replies, "It's all over but the counting. And we'll take care of the counting." After those words Rove grabs him by the elbow and walks him away from the camera chewing him out for spilling the beans!


¿Is this is not an admission of?
A. Guilt
B. Conspiracy to defraud the voters
C. Fantasy

He was simply full of shit.

I think we're being a bit paranoid.

If you look back at the data from 2006, sure the Dems took
back Congress, but not as predicted by pre-polls and exit polls. We should have won more races.

When Rove came to WA state he used an interesting choice of words to explain their loss - "It we had only shifted 3000 more votes we would have won."

These machines combined with the GOP suppression tactics (that make every race a close race) will get us every time until the Dems face up to the fact that our voting systems allow wholesale manipulation of election results.

I recommend you locate a copy of the documentary "Uncounted" before you suggest that anyone is paranoid.

God knows polling data are flawless.

:sarcasm: :eyes::tinfoilhat:

distrust Carl Rove? The current Republican Administration? The current leadership in the republican Party?

I think you may be delusional in your thinking if you really feel we have no reason to distrust the above mentioned. Independent sources have indicted that there have been almost 1000 lies from this administration in the area of Iraq alone.

We are not nearly distrustful enough of this administration.

As it stands, this thread is an exercise in silliness.

Delusional? Nice.

"It's all over but the counting. And we'll take care of the counting." After those words Rove grabs him by the elbow and walks him away from the camera chewing him out for spilling the beans!

:applause:

Happy now.

back in 2004 before the Nov election the posting went on to say that after he made this statement as seen in the clip rove takes him aside and talks to him away from the camera! I have never seen the whole film since I did not have HBO at the time. The fact is he was drinking at a White House BBQ when he said "It's all over but the counting. And we'll take care of the counting." It is on tape and it sure sounds a lot like "Those who cast the votes decide nothing.
Those who count the votes decide everything."

And as recently as Super Tuesday in New York it turns out a lot of votes were not counted correctly

New York’s Missing Votes http://www.observer.com/2008/new-york-s-missing-votes

As the churning focus of the Democratic presidential primary campaign has moved on from New York and back west across the country, there’s some unfinished business here in the city that calls out for an investigation conducted by Governor Eliot Spitzer or Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. Reporting by The New York Times has shown wide discrepancies between votes reported publicly on primary night and the actual tallies in many districts in New York City.

The discrepancies are not minor: In 80 districts, initial election night figures indicated that Barack Obama did not receive a single vote. And several of those districts are in areas of Harlem and Brooklyn with significant African-American populations, where the prospect of zero votes being cast for Mr. Obama is profoundly unlikely.

The city’s ongoing review of the primary night results bears this out: In the 94th Election District in Harlem, primary night returns showed Hillary Clinton beating Mr. Obama 141 to 0. Election officials now say the vote was actually 261 to 136. In a Brooklyn district, a review of Mrs. Clinton’s primary-night victory of 118 to 0 is showing the actual numbers to be 118 to 116.

The Times reports, too, that in a handful of districts, Mrs. Clinton was shown having received zero votes. In other words, both candidates were ill-served by New York’s voting system. Once the city’s returns have been corrected, it’s even possible the delegate count from New York will shift slightly.

So lets hope for an Obama landslide victory!!!!!!
