2000 - Florida, some 90,000 legal voters told they cant vote.

Was it 90,000? No, 60,000? No, 30,000? No, 15,000? No, 7500? No, 3750? No, 1875?

No, 938?

Maybe it wasnt 90,000, but it sure as hell was more than 938, the number of votes Gore lost by? less than 1000.

When it happens again in Florida and WI and Ohio and Michigan (where else? cant keep up), what will happen?

Everybody knows I whine on about living where I live due to the weather (now more than ever I need to keep it a secret where I live, rightwing terrorists aka republiklans are out there and they are very dangerous) and I will keep doing that until I move (whine)...

But there is a whole new, extremely important reason for me to move before November.

I dont want to be surrounded by cons, who i am related to, work with on a daily basis, etc.

What am I gonna do? I am going to try and get out of here or at a minimum plan on being on vacation that week, the week of the election.

This isnt a joke folks, in 2000 we did nothing, Gore did nothing, we took it. When I say we just let me vent, OK, I know some of you did this and that and I didnt do anything, but for now let me just make the point.

I just dont know what happens if the convicted Fraudster Rick Scott is allowed to do this, or any of the others...

I am just curious what others are thinking...

The frame for your question is all wrong. You've chosen to lose the fight and then ask what to do about it. There is a long time before November in which to choose not to lose the fight.

am also adding that during 2008 our President had teams of lawyers ready. he will do the same this election. plus the DOJ is not a bush admin crony, they were looking at the prevention of purging:

also people remember the damage done with the theft of 2000:
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/06/01/493206/florida-elections-officials-refuse-purge-voters-inaccurate-lists/

if we all make sure we take the steps and the loops to vote, each and every one of us, they can't steal an overwhelming majority! they can steal "too close to call".

that's not to say turn a blind eye either, if you see fraud, call it out, talk to the doj where you can. blow the whistle.

so If means i have given up and lost the fight?

never mind

I even attempted to make sure I asked the question in a way to avoid this type of critical, non-helpful response, but I think your response is less about what i said and more about that it was I who said it..

Either way your comments are filled with victimization and paranoia that serve no good purpose.(shit, I could try and again deny it has anything to do with you but why bother)

i don't know what you're looking for. my response is simply do not let them steal it. we all know what to look for, we all know we ALL, EVERY ONE OF US, has to vote.

right

boy do i feel welcome around here...to clarify i could give a shit if you make me feel welcome, but you represent the board as a moderator, so I suppose if I was new and got that kind of response I wouldnt feel all that welcome

maybe that is just me though

Oh, I'm sorry. Have I not been accomodating enough?

Please, please concern troll the forum more! Even though we have rules against doing so YOU were once a MODERATOR and get SPECIAL PRIVILIDGES! Forgive me for even bothering to question whatever childish impulse lead you to pull baseless accusations out of your ass, oh great Randy!


Jeebus, go eat some worms why don't you

good response, thanks

Concern TROLL

is that what you said,

a. i dont know what concern troll means

b. i am not the first long time poster you have called a troll here

c. this is bullshit, and i KNOW i am not the only one thinking it

SPECIAL PRIVILEGES, show me what those are on THIS thread please, since THIS is where you said it

what did i do that was against the rules?

I am not your therapist. Leave me out of your issues.

understood, you accuse me of trolling and getting special privileges, now you answer with that

i suppose for the sake of the board this thread should be closed and you and I will just do what we have to do to not make more issues as that will negatively effect the board, etc.

Done
