Just my opinion.
Maybe they have made more of an issue than we know. The media would not cover it if they did, so how would the regular "guy on the street" know? Same thing happened in ARKANSAS when Klintoon was running for prez. The media refused to show up and cover the demonstrations in LR against his running and complaining about some things he was doing. No news is no news. If the media don't talk, it didn't happen.
Where is Dan RATher screaming: "Every vote should count!!!" ???
Thats most of the democrap BASE you're talking about! ...I like the way you think FRiend..
I'm sure this is one of those times when Dan and his cronies are screaming something more along the lines of, "Rules are rules and are enforced to protect the integrity of the system. These ballots were not received on time. They cannot be counted!"
Assuming they were late, I suspect they were sent late and want to know why they were late. Who is behind the disenfranchisement of our military?
My brother-in-law is career Air Force, stationed in WA. He still votes in FL, and received his ballot only a couple weeks ago (long after the election was over). Why?
Petition signed. Thank you.
Why isn't Barbara Boxer crying over the voter fraud that's occurred in Washington State? Oh yes, she's only crying over Ohio--selective Liberal crying/whining.
I think maybe property owners should be voting.
I'll add a 5th - Anyone who makes a "career" living off of welfare does not get to vote at all.
yea,, and just think ? it was the DEMS who wanted " EVERY VOTE COUNTED " .
Look who are the ones who are " SUPRESSING THE VOTES " .
Such hypocrites
Because they voted REPUBLICAN ?
I live in the Peoples Republic of Washington state, I have a few (very few) gregoire supporters as friends. I can tell you they ARE ripping their hair out over the idea that they may have to count the votes of a bunch of "Gun toting G.I. Joes". I simply laugh, smile...and say "yeah, I know" LMFAO!!! These people are sooo transparant.
"slapped the face of our..."?????????
Since when did a liberal care about honesty, fairness or our men and women in uniform (outside of trying to make them shower with homosexuals)
Thanks for the link. Petition is signed and forwarded to others.
I agree. The Press Secretary was more or less just saying something without really saying anything.
The headline in this article is a bit misleading. While the Whitehouse said in the press release that they wanted the votes counted, when asked if they would do more about it, the Whitehouse said it was up to the state to work out.
So, yes they want it. Just not badly enough to interject themselves into the race. In other words, no political capital spent here.
Yes, they are.
The W.H. sent their lawyers from Florida over here to help. Behind the scenes they have taken an interest.
They haven't taken a public role, I believe, because they do not want Florida made an issue by the MSM AND because Democrats are currently supporting a revote. This is a state that went for Kerry, but Rossi is well liked. If it because an issue of Bush vs. Dems that support could erode. It's a matter of understanding the political prejudices in this state, and while Bush could focus national media, it stands to cause more harm than good if he is the public face behind this effort.
A lot of the military ballots were probably not even returned because they were mailed out by the election boards so late. There should be an investigation of how and why the ballot mailing was delayed. It is very easy to conceive of a partisan plot to disenfranchise a known Republican vote block.
