op Dem: Colorado losses due to 'voter suppression, pure and simple'
The Hill ^ | 09/11/13 09:04 AM ET | Jonathan Easley

Successful recall elections Tuesday of two Democratic state senators in Colorado were because of “voter suppression, pure and simple,” Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said Wednesday.

Wasserman Schultz blamed lawsuits filed by opponents of gun control to prevent voters from mailing in ballots, the late announcement of polling locations, and “efforts by the NRA, the Koch brothers and other right wing groups who know that when more people vote, Democrats win.”

“The recall elections in Colorado were defined by the vast array of obstacles that special interests threw in the way of voters for the purpose of reversing the will of the legislature and the people,” Wasserman Schultz, a Democratic lawmaker from Florida, said in a statement. “This was voter suppression, pure and simple.”

The recall effort in Colorado was backed by the National Rifle Association, which faulted the two Democrats for supporting gun control measures the group said lessened Second Amendment rights. “This effort was driven by concerned citizens, who made phone calls, knocked on doors, and worked diligently to turn voters out in this historic effort,” the NRA said in a statement after the defeat of Colorado state Senate President John Morse and state Sen. Angela Giron.

That dumb FARKING PIG doesn’t realize that Bloomyberg spent at LEAST 6 TIMES the amount of money to counter the recall...

We need more voter suppression. We need to interfere with dead voters, illegal alien voters, multiple voters, fictional voters, non-resident voters, and the rest of the far left’s go-to crowd. Voter suppression is a good thing when the suppressed votes would have been fraudulent.

Not voter suppression.....just voter disinterest. I heard that Obama won at least one of these districts so it is not like people don’t vote. They just did not vote yesterday.

Exactly... if “voter suppression” infers denying voting to anyone other than eligible voters to cast their ballot ONE TIME per election, suppress away!

Yes, every time the Democrats come up on the short end of an election (of whatever type), it must be due to "voter suppression."

At least, according to the Democrats' favorite narrative...

For Debbie, “voter suppression” means “voters heard the viewpoint that disagreeswith hers”.

In what Debbie calls a “fair” election, the opposing viewpoint doesn’t get any publicity, the opponents can’t run any ads and only democrats are contacted to ask them to go to the polling places.

Why is it that Democrats have to be TOLD to go vote?

Dem: Colorado losses due to 'voter suppression, pure and simple'

That's not what your liberal PPP polling data said before the recall took place:

PPP: Reflecting on the Colorado recalls

"We did a poll last weekend in Colorado Senate District 3 and found that voters intended to recall Angela Giron by a 12 point margin, 54/42. In a district that Barack Obama won by almost 20 points I figured there was no way that could be right and made a rare decision not to release the poll. It turns out we should have had more faith in our numbers becaue she was indeed recalled by 12 points."

Not only was there NO democrat vote suppression, I’m not convinced there was effective suppression of the Democrat Vote Fraud Machine.

Done that several years ago.
A little RAT politician came behind my workshop where I was working and wanted to hand out his campaign literature.
Told him, very expressively, to get the hell off my property and take his crap with him.

My buddy, who was with me, still laughs about that, says "I thought you were going to hit the poor little bastard", LOL.

In other words the rats were forced to follow the law and they subsequently lost. Is this tacit admission they have to cheat to win? FU east coast gun grabbers. Hands off our state.

For the nation’s Democrats, it’s becoming a Magic Formula: if we win, it’s because the people wanted it; if we lose, it’s because the other side cheated.

This is the most egregious imaginable variety of childishness.

I suspect most of the suppression came from Democrats sitting on their hands at home ashamed of what they had inflicted on their fellow citizens at the last election.

Cook the books in push polls and then declare “vote fraud” when you lose. They tried this in 2000 and 2004 as well.

It's not the evidence that matters, it's the seriousness of the charge. Hey bitch, show us your proof. Dims lose, voter suppression. Dims win, everything is fine.
