Leaked Stratfor Emails: Democrats tampered with 2008 election
Business Insider ^ | 4-20-12 | Michael Kelly

Posted on 04/21/2012 10:36:26 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

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.

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?

Sen. McCain chose not to fight.

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.

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.

3) The hunt is on for the sleezy Russian money into O-mans coffers.

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.
