Kerry Says Trickery Foiled Many Voters

BOSTON, April 10 (AP) - Many voters in last year's election were denied access to the polls through trickery and intimidation, Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts told a voters' group on Sunday.
"Last year, too many people were denied their right to vote; too many who tried to vote were intimidated," Mr. Kerry said at an event sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Massachusetts.
He cited examples of trickery. "Leaflets are handed out saying Democrats vote on Wednesday, Republicans vote on Tuesday," Mr. Kerry said. "People are told in telephone calls that if you've ever had a parking ticket, you're not allowed to vote."
Mr. Kerry, the Democratic presidential nominee, has never disputed the outcome of the election, saying voting irregularities did not involve enough votes to change the result.
The Republican National Committee dismissed Mr. Kerry's comments. "While President Bush and members of Congress are working to move our country forward, it's disappointing that some Democrats are focused on rehashing baseless allegations more than five months after the election," said a committee spokeswoman, Tracey Schmitt.

Of course, at 4:00pm EST on election day, Lockhart and the other Democrat operatives were claiming "No Problems" with polling... when they thought they were winning...

psttt, John, if they are too stupid to know what day to vote on, they are probably too stupid to be voting anyway.

What a maroon! Based on this gas attack of baseless allegations, will the public finally give John Kerry the finger he so richly deserves?!
Meanwhile, tires slashed election day on 20 GOP vans in Michigan - something that actually happened in verifiable physical reality - goes largely unreported.

"Last year, too many people were denied their right to vote; too many who tried to vote were intimidated," Mr. Kerry said Yes, but Bush won anyway, you moron. He really needs to get over himself. I wish he'd get a life. Preferably in France.

Hey, Mr. Kerry.....if we REALLY looked into the fraud everywhere, I'll bet we'd find that Mr. Bush won by a WHOLE lot more than the Returns showed. Be careful what you ask for.....

If they're too stupid to punch a hole all the way through a card, next to the picture of a jackass, does that make them "too stupid" too?

Either that, or he is what my late mother-in-law would have called "just plain cracked." Can't the guy just give up already? He never gives any specifics to any of these off the wall accusations. Where did these things happen and to whom? Why doesn't he just go wind surfing or something.

If you, like think that rape should be legal, and like, think that raping the planet should be legal, then you should vote for George Bush because he thinks that like raping stuff should be legal. Seriously.

My favorite comedian, John Kerry, is at it again. Everyone knows elections are always on Tuesdays; even those who might not know get exposed to so many mentions of "the election coming up next Tuesday", etc., in TV, radio, and papers...etc. Only the extremely stupid would believe him. Only the extremely stupid would vote for him.

Apparently it's not for Bill. (Thanks Cameron)
