My first venture into Freeperland
Truthfully, I pretty much ignore the freepers but curiosity got the better of me so I went for a quick peek. It's amazing how two people can view the same thing but see different things.

This is the article that this man presented.

"This is how elections are stolen. From the AP newswire:
{YES, FINALLY, THE MSM COMES THROUGH}

SEATTLE Dec 17, 2004 With Washington state in the middle of a recount of its amazingly close governor's race, election officials in Seattle's King County entered a warehouse Friday and found a plastic tray containing 150 misplaced ballots.
{Wow, the AP sure has loosened its requirements on sentence structure}


The discovery brings the number of belatedly discovered ballots to 723 in the heavily Democratic county potentially enough to swing the election to Democrat Christine Gregoire.
{Belatedly discovered, what !?!}


Imagine if the Supreme Court had not intervened in 2000 to stop the Democrats from stealing the presidential election. This is no longer democracy when only one party plays by the rules. The Democrats are perpetrating criminal acts of voter fraud."
{Holy shit, I'm on the wrong side. I turns out we're the ones stealing this election. WTF? It's pretty clever of us too. Except of course, wouldn't it have been better to do it DURING the election? I guess that's why we're the DUmmies.}


I think the AP is getting a bit dicier in thier reporting. I wonder if they'd care to respond to this article.

But here's the great part, people actually responded to the post.

So are these fake ballots planted by the DemonRats?

Does a bear read TV Guide in the woods?
{Um... bears... don't... read... OOOOH I get it, clever.}

I realize that this is a State election, but I think both a Federal Grand Jury and a State Grand Jury need to be looking into indicting people. This is outrageous!
(Amen brother and pass the hand grenades!)

See, that's the point. Forensic evidence and ballots both require uncompromised provenance to carry any legal weight.
{What!?! I thought only divine provenance was the only thing that carried legal weight?}


These "found ballots" could as easily be already-counted as purposeful counterfeits. There's just no way to tell. And I'll bet there is a specific way set up in Washington election regulations to tell us what to do with them.
(Where did I put that round file?)
{Um, no the round file is already filled with provisional ballots and the dumpsters are filled with poll tapes so you'll have to cart them to the dump yourself.}

To: Read2Know
Why is it these things only happen in DemocRAT controlled counties? You never hear about Republicans misplacing hundreds of ballots. Why isn't there a count of all the people who voted available early on election night?
{Do you mean the ones who were still voting at 2 a.m.? Yeah, maybe we should count those. And actually, they do have a total of all the people who voted, it's called a ballot total. It's just that these totals don't really mean anything because we have no idea how many people's votes counted}



Anyway, this was my first dip into Freeperland. It is truly an astounding place. I am glad that they have the right to thier opinions and I am glad that they are concerned about vote fraud. I guess they just can't get over the fact that thier candidate won. Maybe they'll get that Grand Jury they're all hoping for. I'm hoping for it as well.

Sincerely,
Michael Lewis

6. Thank You

I apologize. You are right. Not too long before this,
I watched Bill Moyers last show. I was feeling somewhat
sad and depressed about the state we are in. Sometimes,
I get a little sarcastic when I am in this mood.
Thanks for pointing this out.

9. Most Freepers have never read the constitution...
Edited on Sat Dec-18-04 09:49 AM by femme.democratique
...as they don't have the skills or the intellectual curiosity, and most of them believe the constitution contains only one tenet "Don't y'all elitist librul traiters take mah guns!". They like to refer to it when and only when it suits their goals.

11. Now you know that......
God personally met with the Founding Fathers and demanded that the Constitution was only there for them to be guaranteed the right to hunt a bunny rabbit with a fifty caliber machine gun. No, we had better make that an M1 Tank, since a man's got to protect himself against furious bunnies.

They talk real tough, but they are nothing but pussies. After all, you don't see them marching off to Iraq to prove their skills with their guns.
