It’s amazing to me that Mitt Romney brings up France as a scary comparison point to himself so often when he spent years there and speaks the language. It’s such a minor point, but telling.

More votes than voters: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/jack-coleman/2009/01…
But I guess that there was no fraud and ACORN couldn't have possibly be involved: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,449334,00.htm…
"With ACORN filing more than 43,000 registration forms this year, 75 percent of all new registrations in the state, Minnesota was facing vote fraud problems even before the election. Even a small percentage of those registrations resulting in fraudulent votes could tip this election."
Seems like only in Minnesota and Iran the one being accused of fraud increases their lead after a recount: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090629/wl_nm/us_iran…
Yea like the recounts in Florida with all the hanging chads and the Indiana Supreme Court ordering the Republican BMV to register voters as the law requires. The last thing any Republican wants is a large number of voters. And to continue their control they spread half truths and lies. Most of the voter registration errors found with Acorn was reported by Acorn, but by law they had to be recorder and then deleted. This is just another fallacy used by the GOP to explain how they lost the election. After all they could not have lost a fair election so the other side must have cheated.
But yet…there is no denying that more votes than voters were there. You obfuscation while humorous does not change the facts. Mush like in our previous conversations, you say I am not telling the truth, but though I am you still deny. I pointed out facts, fact more votes than voters, fact ACORN committed and has a history of fraud, fact both in Iran and Minnesota the recounts the one who is being accused of fraud gained votes. When it comes to Florida and 2000, Bush won…it was clear that he won and it was Gore who attempted to use the courts to change the election. The Supreme Court finally decided a case brought not by Bush, but by Gore. So you are on thin ice with your analogy.
But not as bad as yours. If Acorn had committed the crimes that you have alleged and insinuated were the incitements? Where are the over turned election results? We have the most conservative judicial branch that we have had in years, but there are no overturned elections, just innuendo and vague finger pointing by people who cannot believe that they have lost an election.
There again…no disproving what I have said and no source for your assertion that we have a Conservative Judiciary. In fact the Supreme Court is split with a so called "swing vote" in Kennedy. So other than an assertion based on fantasy, you have yet to provide a shred of evidence that refutes my assertions. Sorry…but I deal in facts.
No I do not think that you deal with facts as much as option and distortion. And as usual you completely ignore the part about no suits our over turned election results to engage on whether or not we have a conservative court. I am sure you would rather have a 6 to 3 conservative court but even then I think that you would still say that the numbers are to small for you. Just wear are your facts concerning the rigging of the election? Are you really trying to say that GOP would not launch lawsuits and investigations if there was even a hint of fraud?
Seriously? I mean come on! ACORN is like a giant Democrat funded…(With our tax dollars) Democrat get out the vote effort! ACORN's very existence and their influence with that mental midget Obama are all we need to know about Democrats and elections! If it wasn't for voter fraud and misappropriation of taxpayer funds…there wouldn't be a Democrat Party!
This is still more innuendo and opinion with out facts. Just everyone knows and defamation of the president brought to you by trail mix.
the election almost a coin toss, but coleman was still being a jerk by going as far as he did with the courts…
You are so right…I mean who is he to actually point out election fraud by ACORN and why should he be concerned that on election night he had the lead and then mysteriously every recount saw Franken gain ground and eventually win. I mean what a jerk for actually not stepping aside and letting himself be screwed out of Senate seat when there were more votes than voters, who the hell does he think he is? I mean doesn't he know that make believe people, felons, illegals and dead people all have the right to have their votes counted too? The nerve of that guy!
Are these more of you touted facts, or just more opinions and notions?
There weren't more votes than voters. That's just something made up in a WSJ opinion article. That's what that caller was parroting.
So other than claiming it's false…care to provide a link?
Link:
http://liberalinthelandofconservative.blogspot.co…
As the writer points out, the canvassing board have caught the irregularities and the fact that no one can apparently list the 25 precincts where this allegedly occurred is pretty good evidence it's a lie.
See…this is not a link of hard proof of anything…this is an opinion blog….I run one of those myself. The difference is when I state a "Fact" I provide creditable evidence to back it up and link to it. What you have here in your link is a guy who is trying to poke holes in an argument by claiming nobody is listing the precincts, but he provides no proof…yet it was enough to totally convince you. The sheer number of irregularities and the fact that on election night Coleman had won and every recount suddenly had Franken gaining ground and eventually taking the lead. But hey…nothing suspicious right…I mean as long as a Democrat wins right.
I guess it's fitting that Minnesota has a washed up comedian for a Senator, because their electoral process is a joke!
I do not see you listing any facts about Acorn being drug into court on charges of rigging the election as you maintain. You do a fair job at innuendo and opinion when you want to, and try to bring in outside quotes to prove minor points outside the main argument when you feel like it, but then you start of on you opinions like they are also based in fact. A sometimes effect line of argument.
Because it's common knowledge how corrupt ACORN is…there is no need to even do a Google search because it's common knowledge…kind of like if I say the sky is blue…no link needed there. Besides…even when I do provide you a link or even multiple links you just keep charging ahead with your talking points…so why bother.
jesus tapdancing christ. ENOUGH with the fucking ACORN already.
Yeah…because if we ignore what a corrupt organization it is and how they have completely fucked up democracy…then it doesn't exist! Nice to see you don't give a flying fuck about democracy…only winning!
yeah, because anyone who's read this blog for more than a week knows that all i'm concerned with is "winning".
If you could back up you bias opinions with some proof of convictions of the alleged voter fraud by Acorn it would be one thing, but the constant crying foul because you do not want others to vote is another.
