I cannot believe my eyes. I think I served my country for people like this to do something that is SO wrong, in so many areas. I am angered. I am sad, is this what it has come to. That one side/any side does this to their fellow Americans. I can find a nice bed at Leavenworth for these corrupt and evil people. Sorry guys, I just am getting sick and tired of all of this. I know I do my part for the November election. I hope others do their part as well. I just cannot even begin to think where we will be if Kerry is elected.
Why do you think Dems control the Kentucky House almosr 2-1
That does not shock me, but, I am curious. They say that this area is well, impoverished. I did not spend time in that part of KY, we lived at Ft Campbell.
But as I read this article, I thought, this area has one of the highest drug problems, death associated to OxyContin a very expensive pain medicine and suicides.
Is this what these folks were doing with their earnings? I just don't know.
This just ticked me off in ways I cannot put into words.
I hope you don't mind I included Sea Dog in this reply.
well.. the poorest area in the US is.. in Mississippi? Thats where they love to file class action lawsuits because the juries are so 'generous'.
Another Kentucky political thread today
Thank you very much for the thread, one can never be to informed.
This is going to be a recordbreaking year for election fraud by the Democrats.
The cheap ones could be bought for beer...Those brazen days are gone.
Nobody told Michael Moore. You heard how his film ends with the slogan "DO SOMETHING". Here is what Miserable Failure suggests on his website: Buy votes for Kerry.

Pick five of the people you know who probably aren't going to vote. Acknowledge their despair and cynicism. Don't try to talk them out of it. But gently give them pieces of information over the next few months.This does not appear to be satirical. There is no disclaimer. I've posted this information as its own thread and sent it to Drudge but it went nowhere.And then make a plan for Election Day. Take them out to vote and out to lunch (you pick up the tab!). Or have a party that night for those who voted that day.
Or get more creative. Offer a six-pack to anyone in the office who votes (make sure you're not working in cubicles full of Republicans!). Promise to have sex with a nonvoter - whatever it takes!
Here's another attempt at brokering for votes:
They claim it is a "joke" and not binding but they want people to sign a pledge. That makes it a document, how binding it is would be decided by the courts. Looks like they may have been investigated (after getting a lot of press) as they are no longer online (and I checked the web address with a couple of articles).
The left got caught in 2000 trying to trade votes for Ralph Nader for Algore Jr. votes (a claim was made that if Naderites would support Gore in battleground states, a Goron would vote for Nader in a secure state).
Thank you, your post is illuminating. After every election we hear whispers about voter fraud. But, I think 2000 put a new face on the issue.
Losing votes, dead people voting, felons voting. I am sure there are more, but, the more I consider this the more my head aches!
OK will add one more, folks giving their vote for a pack of cigarettes.
What has this country come to?
BTW, thank you for the links, I so appreciate your effort.
...Click on a link...or SIX!!! ...Have your friends do the same!

Hey that will be my new tagline
There used to be a mailing list on FR for "vote fraud" but now there are PING lists and keywords. I don't know if the "list" still exists.
coffee, tea, soda, JOLT Cola....
We hear you about vote fraud. It is my biggest peeve with the rats!
...so what will be the 'punishment'? ...is it time to strap on the old asbestos suit... or will that post just be dropped into some black hole somewhere, never to be seen again?
(p.s. - you're right about the coffee. ...lol [quietly, of course.])
...did you click a link? election fraud
Guess I should have just posted this one, about buying votes, again...
Now that Ky. has a Republican governor, maybe something will actually happen to these Neanderthals.
They deserve lengthy prison sentences. They are one step above traitors, in my book.
John Corzine did pretty much the same in the black areas of New Jersey. Such get-out-the-vote volunteers were paid from a stack of 75$ checks. Mnay did nothing to get anyone to the polls except themselves.

Much of that is going for so-called street money, payments of $50 or $75 to thousands of political foot soldiers. They are being pushed to boost Democratic turnout to record numbers, particularly among the party's base of black and Hispanic voters in Newark, Camden, Elizabeth, Trenton and other cities.
Those cadres of workers, many of whom have been working on a per diem basis for either the Corzine campaign or the state Democratic Party since as early as August, include several dozen residents of at least two homeless shelters in North Philadelphia.
"Defense lawyers say that Mr. Varney gave the woman $50 to buy a coat and that his words were taken out of context."
LOL, best line in the article!
It seems the dems have a hard time holding power by legitimate means, they've basically got to bribe people to put them in office. In Kentucky you've got vote hauling (wonderful awful phrase), in NJ we've got "walking around money".
