John McCain's 2008 campaign staff allegedly had evidence that Democrats stuffed ballot boxes in Pennsylvania and Ohio on election night, but McCain chose not to pursue voter fraud, according to internal Stratfor emails published by WikiLeaks.
In an email sent on November 7, 2008, and titled " Insight - The Dems & Dirty Tricks ** Internal Use Only - Pls Do Not Forward **," Stratfor vice president of intelligence Fred Burton wrote:
1) The black Dems were caught stuffing the ballot boxes in Philly and Ohio as reported the night of the election and Sen. McCain chose not to fight. The matter is not dead inside the party. It now becomes a matter of sequence now as to how and when to "out".
In an email sent two days earlier and titled "Insight - McCain #5 ** internal use only - Pls do not forward **," Burton wrote:
After discussions with his inner circle, which explains the delay in his speech, McCain decided not to pursue the voter fraud in PA and Ohio, despite his staff's desire to make it an issue. He said no. Staff felt they could get a federal injunction to stop the process. McCain felt the crowds assembled in support of Obama and such would be detrimental to our country and it would do our nation no good for this to drag out like last go around, coupled with the possibility of domestic violence.

Such a shocking revelation.
McCain made exactly the wrong decision.
Im shocked..shocked I tell ya/sarc
Not surprising that McCain chose not to do anything about it, he behaved like a coward throughout the 2008 campaign
Now we have to make sure this doesn’t happen again. You all know Obama will be working even harder this time around to make sure that he steals another election
Racist claims! No need for voter ID! /s
I don’t believe it. I just know that those wonderful people wouldn’t do such a thing. /s
McCain is such a doooosh.
Explain to me again why I should be supporting the GOP-e and Republicans? They obviously and clearly care more about opponents than I, a disenfranchised voter.
You don’t know the extent of the voter fraud in other areas of the country. Milwaukee’s police chief disbanded the voter fraud task force right before the 2008 election, despite evidence of all kinds of fraud in the 2004 election. The 2004 report has recently been scrubbed from the Internet, but in 2004 there were thousands of extra ballots counted in Milwaukee that had not been issued. And on and on.
Well, we have this, We have Minnesota with Al Franken, we have Washington State, we have Florida in 2000, hell, we have Texas and Illinois in 1960... and they still claim that we have no indications of voter fraud which would necessitate voter ID.
Oh I see, now intimidation or threat of violence prevents us from getting at the truth. This country is lost.
InSane lost fair and square.
Democrats tamper with EVERY election
There—Fixed it
Democrats have no problem dragging out the process to the detriment of the country. If you think election fraud was a problem in the last election you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. That and some strategic voter intimidation will win an election for you.
“Im shocked..shocked I tell ya/sarc”
Thufferin’ thuccotash!
Of course not. McCain had already made a deal with Soros to lose.
Eric Holder undoubtedly shut down the investigation of the NBP party club-wielding polling place thugs in order to keep this stuff re Philly from coming out.
Voter ID is coming. Its institution closely resembles an extreme case of “irregularity.” We just have to have the right administration in office and a heavy duty jackhammer.
Didn’t Nixon do the same thing in 1960?
Well, what do you expect? He didn't fight in the campaign and he especially didn't fight in the debates. Why should he fight in the election? He obviously didn't want to be president.
“McCain made exactly the wrong decision.”
He would have been a worse president than FUBO. A McLame Admin would have been like boiling a frog, and he would have been able to get away with a lot more. FUBO is a “bright line” and he has caused the destruction of his own party.

Exactly, Let the pricks steal the election, because you don’t want to make a scene. What a bunch of crap.
I really belive that. His last speech in Arizona the night before Elections you could tell He knew something. When He turned and walked from Podium there was regret on his countenance. I Belive it happened when He suspended campaign to meet in Washington.
McCain probably knew that the same things could be accomplished with Obama that he would have done and he didn’t have to get the blame.
What it amounts to is that McCain threw the election. It really indicates just how he feels about republican principles and ideals.
this was part of the wikileaks that people paid little attention to...
“The black Dems.” ????
Good one : )
Of course McCain didn’t complain.
He would’ve had to return millions to George Soros.
Soros funded both Omoslem and McCain.
Look it up, folks.
Sheds a whole new light on 0bama's hot mike incident, where he promised Medvedev more flexibility after the election.
Yes, I think it’s pretty well established that the Daley machine used vote fraud to swing Illinois for Kennedy in 1960, and Nixon opted not to challenge it.
A loser is a loser, and McCain is a loser.
But he lost “honorably”, lol.
It is not surprising that McCain would duck the fight in the interests of “civility” and preserving his comfy Senate digs. He is still oblivious to the damage that Il Douche is comitting daily to this country.
As to the rest of the GOP and how they will react to the ‘rats vote fraud, it is actually quite simple: What are you prepared to do about it?
The ‘rats will cheat, and they will have all of their operatives out there, pulling out all the stops. Up to now, the GOP has been too gutless to do anything about the blatant fraud that the ‘rats put forth. This inaction only emboldens them. 2012 will be the worst yet in terms of fraud.
The GOP had better make a decision, and make it fast. Stand by and get rolled again, or take the fight to them.
We’ve got one illegal SOB sitting in the Oval Office. Without ‘RAT voter fraud, he never would have been elected.
Why bother with freaking elections at all, then. Just let mobs of black thugs decide who the president is.
IMHO, McCain never wanted to be elected president in the first place. The GOP needed to run somebody against the messiah and McCain volunteered.
you nailed it on that- he wanted the office, yet could not stomach defending the constitution?
waiting instead for the correct POLITCAL moment to release the data???
Now the loser Romney who lost to this LOSER McLame wants the office now?
Let's show him the data now and ask him if he will defend the constitution (Let's ask Newt too)
Yep. United States presidential election, 1960. Scroll down to "Controversies."
do I really have to say it???
It really is true, that Democratic voter fraud is not news.
McCain is what happens when you spend too much time in the Senate. Turns your brain to mush.
Damn these blankity-blank bastardos and their fear that losers will be more dangerous to our Country than the corrupt party that cheats to win to destroy.
I've been saying since the minute McRino said we had nothing to fear from Obama that he was pimping for Obama. The entire campaign and election was a set up. The fix was in 4 years ago just like this upcoming election has already been fixed. Something happened during Bush's second term that changed America. Remember how W suddenly changed like an invasion of the body snatchers? No, that's not the tin foil talking.
