Month: November 2004

This is truly shocking:

Tom Daschle has taken his Republican opponent to court over the intimidation of Indian voters via aggressive eye-rolling.

Via Begging to Differ.

This is very nice:

Overturning the orders of two federal judges, a three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 early today that the presence of Election Day challengers was allowed under state law. It granted emergency stays that will allow Republicans and Democrats one challenger per precinct each.

So the Clinton judge who tried to re-write the Ohio constitution was slapped-down. Good.

I think the big question on this election day is how many fraudulent votes will be cast. By all appearances, the Democratic Party is hinging a lot of its final strategy on getting out the vote again, and again, and again. We’ve all heard the stories about the counties in Ohio where the number of registered voters exceeds the adult population and precincts in Philadelphia where voter registration exceeds the total population, about voter information packets returned in the tens of thousands marked “no such address” and “deceased”. Democrats are using the courts to block poll watchers from seeing voter IDs, claiming “minority harassment” and urging activists to allege intimidation where there is none.

Our voting system has next to no protection against large-scale fraud, and we can be sure the media aren’t going to back off their militantly pro-Kerry stance at the last minute and report this story accurately, so it’s likely that this election will be stolen if the actual vote is close. Some Democrat activists are already bragging about the magnitude of the fraud, putting it at two percent or higher. The only hope for election integrity this time around is large enough Republican turnout to thwart these tactics, and legislation over the next four years to prevent its happening again.

While I don’t like John Kerry and the campaign he’s run based on misinformation, flip-floppery, and disgusting personal attacks on the President, the Vice-President, and their families, the damage that he’ll do to the country with his coy policies is much less than the damage his party is going to do by destroying the integrity of our voting process. I don’t expect Democrats to wise up to this, however, because so many are still burning about the last election.

2000 seems like last week, and this campaign like it’s gone on forever. I hope when it’s over we can get at least a brief break from the campaigning and politicking for a little real life.

Powerline has the story on a Clinton judge’s Sunday night ruling enabling Democrats to steal Ohio. It’s on, folks: they’ll stop at nothing to steal this election.

MEMRI says that Osama made specific threats against states that vote for Bush tomorrow according this this from Begging to Differ:

In a section of his speech in which he harshly criticized George W. Bush, bin Laden stated: “Any U.S. state that does not toy with our security automatically guarantees its own security.”

The Islamist website Al-Qal’a explained what this sentence meant: “This message was a warning to every U.S. state separately. When he [Osama Bin Laden] said, ‘Every state will be determining its own security, and will be responsible for its choice,’ it means that any U.S. state that will choose to vote for the white thug Bush as president has chosen to fight us, and we will consider it our enemy, and any state that will vote against Bush has chosen to make peace with us, and we will not characterize it as an enemy.

This couldn’t be more clear: Osama wants Kerry to win.
