C-SPAN COVERING OHIO ELECTORS NOW

[pbartch]

It's on now. tune in.

I thought there was a lawsuit trying to stop them from casting for the FRAUDULENT PRESIDENT Bush?????????

[tridim]

1. Blackwell is such a fascist fucker

He makes me sick.

[Karenca]

2. i'm all upset...wtf is going on? Blackwell is on calling the electors.

nt

[siliconefreak]

3. disgusting

Another sham election coming to an end.

America is the biggest ship of fools the world has ever seen.

[pbartch]

69. THE DRUNKEN CHIMP AND CHENEY got 20 votes by the Criminals from Ohio

May they all have severe stomache aches and diahrea every day for the rest of their lives!

[alexisfree]

4. please tell...

I dont have C-SPAN/./x(

[weeve]

6. Taft speaking..

...telling /joking with Electors to fill in Bush/Cheney on ballots. Smug scumbag. This is depressing.

[alexisfree]

15. thank you

well I am glad I not watching that shit...

[EMunster]

5. where's arnebeck? Lockdowned?

[Freddie Stubbs]

13. If he really wanted to stop this from happening, he

would have filed his lawsuit last week, not this morning.

[spoogly]

7. It is very interesting watching

a crime being committed live on CSPAN as I listen to history being made on the Internet radio discussing the crime that has been committed in Ohio.

Blackwell looks like a troubled man. I would hate to be in his Nikes right now.

[meganmonkey]

8. This was scheduled to happen - not a surprise

Unless something really cool happens RIGHT NOW.....Oh, guess not.

This is not the end - it still isn't official until Congress approves the electoral votes on Jan 6.

[proudtobeadem]

48. are you sure about that ? cause I"m about to have a stroke!!

[DARE to HOPE]

9. Did you see Blackwell turn away before the end of the Pledge

right when it came to "with Liberty and Justice for all." Watch. The way I saw it, he did not repeat this with the assembly.

Governor Taft just gave a cute little speech, reminding people how to write Bush and Cheney's formal names. He was the CHAIRMAN of the Bush/Cheney campaign in Ohio!

Oh, dear state of my birth! How could it come to this?

[weeve]

10. Corsages

what's with those awful red, white, and blue corsages these robotrons/criminals are wearing ?!?!

STOP destroying Amerika !

[bones_7672]

11. This flap over Ohio is going to launch Blackwell into the governorship

All this publicity, getting his name out. He will not face any fallout over this election. Come 2006 he will have the biggest name recognition, and with (probably) 90% of DUers living outside of Ohio, he will be the favorite to replace Gov. Taft.

[kk897]

12. TWO ELECTORS ABSENT!!

They are having to get temporary chairman or soemthing

[weeve]

14. Who are these ...

... old white corsage-wearing people ?

This is like watching a car wreck in slow motion , except it's our Democracy that we're watching die before our eyes.

I'm going to need a Bloody Mary after this one.

[EMunster]

16. The reported dead voters?

[Carni]

104. I have never seen such a group of dour old hags all in 1 place in my life

The men and the women! I felt like I was watching a satire.
WTF are these people and what century did they claw their way back from?

[kk897]

17. Blackwell: I understand CSPAN is going to conduct an exit poll

"Just kidding."

he really said this, I'm not kidding

[siliconefreak]

20. ah, hilarious

Polling and voting are just meaningless technicalities to Blackwell.

[kk897]

21. guy appoints two new electors after there's only 18 votes

[eowyn_of_rohan]

93. The other 2 are probably bound and gagged in the closet

for being dissenters

[crispini]

18. "I understand that C-SPAN's going to do an exit poll."

Har-de-har-har, you so FUNNEEEEEE!!!!! NOT.

[weeve]

19. Exit Poll joke ....GAG!

Blackwell making jokes about "I understand C-Span is going to do an Exit Poll." (laughter) Blackwell: "Just a joke". F**K YOU !

[alexisfree]

33. oh my God!

were are we are f* CK with capital “F” !!

[Wordie]

22. I thought the Arnebeck suit was to stop this from happening. What now? n/t

[Freddie Stubbs]

26. If he really wanted to stop this from happening, he

would have filed the lawsuit last week, rather than waiting until this morning.

[Karenca]

27. i thought so too. I am freaking nt

[pointsoflight]

34. No need to freak, it's not done.

Many things can happen. A judge can rule that an alternative set of electors cast their votes, with the one's sent to congress being determined by the recount. In addition, congress has to accept the electoral votes.

[weeve]

23. All of these criminals...

...need to have their mugshots posted on fliers in every Federal Post Office. Look at that smug smiling Blackwell. EVIL personified.

[weeve]

24. Jokes about Paper Trail

The Blackwell Comedy Routine continues... this is really disturbing.

[crispini]

25. FUCKING MAKING JOKES ABOUT AUDITIABLE PAPER TRAIL ON THESE VOTES.

What an asshole.

[bear425]

28. I cannot believe he just did that.... ok I guess I can. n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

42. bu$h makes dictator jokes

and most don't seems to care. :shrug:

[kk897]

29. now there's a "paper trail joke" Ha Ha MF.

[uncle ray]

32. he's a regular fucking comedian, huh?

he's gonna choke on his words. what a sorry piece he is.

[weeve]

30. Collecting the 20 votes now

I can't watch. I knew this was coming, but it's FAR too depressing.

[pbartch]

31. The 2 TASTELESS JOKES BLACKWELL HAS MADE

regarding the "exit" poll and paper trail stink to hogh heaven. I would not be surprised if VIOLENCE HAPPENS IN OHIO SOON. I certainly am not advocating that. I hate violent crimes.

Blackwell is involved to his eyeballs in another kind of crime and I hope SOMEHOW HE GOES TO PRISION.

[bones_7672]

43. All of this publicity will launch him into the governorship in '06. n/t

[crispini]

35. What really disturbs me about the whole Blackwell thing

is that he's taking a leaf out of the Katherine Harris book and just getting away with it. As do many others in our society. Corruption and just playing nasty are REWARDED not punished. And the people don't seem to care enough to do anything about it. Where is our sense of honor and fair play? Where is our integrity as human beings? Honestly, it's enough to make one lose all faith in humanity.

[weeve]

36. How can these scumbags live with themselves

Just sign it all away folks. Hope you don't have any young relatives about to ship out to Iraq. Oh yeah, they're rich and white ...probably don't .

[SammyWinstonJack]

44. I hope they do!

"Hope you don't have any young relatives about to ship out to Iraq."

[Pithy Cherub]

37. Waiting to see the lawsuit in full - If

the suit says as a remedy they want injunctive relief not to seat the electors as of today and it is agreed to by the court, then all Hell will break loose.

Why do these people look like a 1954 color picture...

[saracat]

39. It is too late , isn't it?

[Pithy Cherub]

59. High stakes legal brinksmanship - not too late

There is a reason that they (high risk high reward strategy) waited until today. The second piece of the strategy is to bring the full weight of the evidence to bear on the Ohio Supreme Court, if not there then an appellate move, then on to SCOTUS... who want no part of 2000 redux.

[lonestarnot]

40. Damn it I'm at work and can't get CSPAN Have they counted

the votes yet?

[crispini]

46. No, they're still fiddlyfarting around. n/t

[lonestarnot]

51. Thank you... Will you post as soon as something available?

[weeve]

38. It's as somber as a funeral...

... as they're all signing away the future of our country.

[bones_7672]

41. Blackwell knows who's watching, he's yanking our chains.

and he is succeeding in raising the blood pressure around here.

[IAMREALITY]

45. Actually, Though I may Be the only one, I'm Actually THANKFUL

that he made those comments. There is no way those comments could make him look good, and they just give more fuel to those wanting to take him down.

Not to mention words are meaningless. Acts are meaningful. He acted like a criminal, and in the end will go down for it. So let the fucker make as many jokes as he wants! The laughs he gets will be nowhere near the laughs he gets when he is convicted of his ACTS.

[alexisfree]

49. good point.

[angrydemocrat]

103. AMEN!!

This lying, cheating, sorry ass bastard will go down!! You wait and see if I'm not right. You think Kerry and others didn't hear what this son of a bitch just said. This bastaed can make all the jokes he wants now but the joke will be on him before it's all over with! If he thinks for one minute that his sorry ass and the other sorry asses involved will get away with this they better go do a little history research about Nixon and Watergate. These bastards will go down! Every damn one of them!:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[alexisfree]

47. please more...

info..no good news it all? :scared:

[ourbluenation]

52. why the heck is the chair of the repub ohio party talking?

He's talking about the inagural, can't wait....blah, blah, blah!

[alexisfree]

53. f*ck!!!

what an assholes!!

[weeve]

50. All the good little Nazis

"All that remains now is the Inauguration"

That's what you f**king think!

See ya in Court scumbag!

[zann725]

57. Let the Rove-ian 'spin' begin!!

Now they're bringing in a "Political Science" professor to "legitimize" their Fraud. Now he said "Freedom" and "Democracy!!" (Flags waving! Flags waving!) Now he's telling us it's okay to be "protected" by the Electoral College! I've got to go puke. Oh this is so evil!

:puke:

[Brundle_Fly]

54. DR. JOHN GREEN

GIRL VOICE ALERT!

[siliconefreak]

56. lol

Somebody could use a voice-box transplant.

[Brundle_Fly]

61. hey

I was in the kitchen, and I heard the voice, and I was convinced it was a woman, I came back in to watch, and I was amazed to see what a beard that lady had grown/

[Carni]

106. "Who's HIGH pitch?"

Sorry I listen to Stern lol

[crispini]

55. Oookay, I can't watch anymore now.

I'm crossing my fingers that the California electors will grow some stones and make a big stink today. That would be fun.

[alexisfree]

60. well

this fraking california is getting red and getting on my f*ink nerves too...so dont know if is good news. x(

[crispini]

58. Wait, one more thing. (Catty)

I was listening to C-SPAN streaming in the background of another window and I flipped over and I was like, "Who's this guy with the black beard speaking?" I was SO 100% sure that it was a female speaking! Does he not have the most squeaky chick voice ever?

[Twist_U_Up]

64. might be coulter .....ya never no bwhahahaha

[pointsoflight]

62. Just so everyone is clear, this does not mean it's done!

If a recount puts Kerry up, a second set of electoral votes would be sent to Congress.

And if fraud is proven, then a whole new can of worms is opened, and the electoral votes cast today mean nothing.

[crispini]

63. Righty ho, there's still some fight in this dog. n/t

[neversaynever]

65. what if....they cast different votes for Pres and VP

there's the ticket: Kerry - Cheney !!! NOT.

[demo dutch]

77. Thank you! So there is still hope!

[weeve]

66. Efficient, isn't it ?

Just like those in prison who administer the Death Penalty.

Executioners all. Nice knowing ya Democracy. It was swell while it lasted.

[weeve]

67. 20 votes for Bush

applause.

I'm speechless

[americanwhothinks]

68. Why do they even bother with the "nay" option???? n/t

[zann725]

70. They're clapping because they cast 20 votes for Bush?!

But they were just ORDERED to vote ONLY for Bush!
They act like it was some "mandate" of Democracy, or for Bush. People, they had NO choice! That is NOT Democracy!

Seriously, this whole proceeding is such an aberration of Democracy. Makes me sick to watch it.

[demo dutch]

74. Did we really think it was going to turn out differently? I just hope

that there is a "method to the madness" as far as the Kerry camp is concerned and them staying in the background on this whole thing! Is there still hope in Jan when the vote are counted in congress??

[katinmn]

71. Now they can go discuss what they're wearing to the ball n/t

[weeve]

72. "Coffee and tea" to be served after the ceremony.

Don't forget the grape Kool-Aid.
Jim Jones lives!!

[ntwkgirl]

73. Signing their souls away...

This makes me sick. Tell the House Judiciary Dems to OBJECT to the proceeding of Ohio's electors in January. Every single person has to personally show his/her support. This is b/s!!!

[jamboi]

75. I thought it was supposed to be a secret ballot? Maybe its by state

and each can do it differently? I'm shocked that they actually tabulated and announced it right there. I thought it wasn't opened until the 6th??? That's how we end up with "faithless electors" I thought.

[Quakerfriend]

80. I think you're right

What's up with them announcing the vote! It's supposed to be sealed until Jan 6th, or so I thought!!!?

[angrydemocrat]

105. They Are Announcing This Just Because................

They are trying to piss Kerry and all the other Democrats off. They are trying to make Democrats out to be a bunch of sore losers and dumbasses. That is why they are announcing it and making there dumbass jokes. I can't wait to bring these bastards down! And they all will go down and the joke will be on there sorry asses!:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[weeve]

76. Evil Evil Evil

Can't wait to hear some more of Blackwell's hysterical jokes for the grand wrap-up!

What's tragic are all the innocent people that will die in the upcoming years due to these 20 signatures.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

78. Was that the ugliest bunch of Americans you've ever seen or what?

:puke:

[cyberpj]

89. Too old, too rich, and too white

In fact, Blackwell should be ashamed to be part of this group.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

91. That too, but their insides are even uglier

Tha Blackheart Gang

[weeve]

79. chuckling as they sign

listen to those last two women Electors chuckle as they sign away this country's future.

[kk897]

81. "Our Heavenly Father..."

says Mumper. Great.

[grasswire]

102. Mumper??

Poster woman for arrogant, ignorant GOPfraus?



I never saw a woman I disliked more.

[weeve]

82. Delivering the Benediction

Think again ... God's not blessing YOU pack of criminals. Just because you say so. Scum.

[cyberpj]

85. I liked the part about -

"giving us our freedoms"

HAH!

[Blissfulbride]

83. votes committed to "safeguard" of Blackwell

This is sad, so sad. I feel so helpless and angry. I emailed everyone on the fricken planet and I couldn't stop this hijack of democracy. Does anyone know what's going on at Rep. Conyers' forum? Did the protest around this electoral vote have any effect?

God -- these electors sound so fricken patriotic -- they're fricken criminals!

They just adjourned --its over.

[weeve]

84. NOW what ??

any ideas besides a HOT SHOWER ?!?!

[cyberpj]

88. Now go here:

and listen to the testimony at Conyer's hearing:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=203&topic_id=149496&mesg_id=149496

[cyberpj]

86. Blackwell is surrounded by reporters and mics

But we can't hear them

[cyberpj]

90. Now we hear him talking about the recount

He's saying the recount will happen.

But has full confidence in Ohio TRANSPARENCY!!!

[Catamount]

100. I wanted to vomit when I heard

how he stands with Mr. Kerry on the recount question

[Guarionex]

87. keep your eyes on the fraud movmenet hearings...

and get ready to hit the streets...i'm not going to give away my democracy cause 20 traitors signed away our rights...

Let's do a ukraine people!

[ntwkgirl]

97. Amen to that!

More Blackwell Lies

from interview he just gave...before he goes to sip his tea

He first referred to the "generosity of Ohio law" - Last time I checked, law was law, and it isn't interpreted as a "favor" to anyone.

and then

"No matter how much they protest...no matter how many law suits they file, I have the fullest of confidence in the integrity of our system, that is run by BOTH major parties, and is FULL of checks and balances, and has a transparency, a system that has a transparency to produce a result that Ohioans feel actually reflect their will."

Now please, send this statement to everyone you know to contact so we can contact every single person in Ohio and tell them how to contact Blackwell and the GAO investigators to voice how THEY REALLY FEEL.

Thank you!

[Eye_on_prize]

99. C-span must have gotten word from "on high" to poo-poo challenges...

I watched this Blackwell being interviewed (at end of his fraudulent electoral love fest for Bush) by tv and other reporters, that could barely be heard, and it was the ONLY newsworthy thing in the whole freekin electoral meeting and C-span just pans out mid-way in the back-and-forth exchanges with reporters like it wasn't really newsworthy ....arrgghhh. This is too weird.

[katinmn]

101. I'm ready. Had the dress rehearsal. We can do this!! n/t

[cags]

92. Cspan just mentioned the contest of election being filed

[cyberpj]

94. Julie Carr Smyth - saying the deal is sealed for Bush!

Implying any complaints won't make a difference.

And laughing about the audit and paper trail jokes.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

95. Well, the Blackheart gang is enjoying cookies and coffee now...

After their dirty deed...Wouldn't you love to listen to their chatter?

[cyberpj]

96. Oh NO! Now they're showing Brenda Hood doing Florida votes!

That's it!

I can't watch anymore.

Also - I heard schedule mentioned but nothing about covering Conyers' hearing at 4:30.

Anyone have any news on that?

[rumpel]

98. Disrespectful, arrogant and disgusting!
