Freepers talking big....

You think she's whining now? I don't think you've seen anything compared to the fever pitch of the whine that will be emitted from RATs all over the place when Republicans turn out in force to legally vote for Al Sharpton in the RAT primaries, especially given that many will have to temporarily register as democRATs to do it so not only will it tamper with the results in their primaries, but it will fog up the voter registration rolls to their confusion. Doubtless they will squeal about the unfairness of the evil Republicans without ever once considering the dastardly unfairness of their own tactics. They can dish it out but they sure can't take it. There is a certain satisfaction in the thought of beating them at their own game though.

1. I hope they do

Al Sharpton would be an excellent candidate.

[absolutezero]

2. ignore them n/t

[Blue_Chill]

3. I wonder what the idiots will do when they notice

many of their henchmen voted for the dem over Bush think they were being sneaky.

[htuttle]

4. I really doubt an extra dozen votes will put Al over the top

But at least it gets them used to pulling the 'D' lever.

[DoYouEverWonder]

12. Then they can't vote for the repugs

What a bunch of morans.

[aquart]

26. No Republican primary so no problem for them.

[ryharrin]

5. Uhh, ok. so what if a few freepers vote for sharpton?

He's not going to win, so who cares? "They can dish it out but they sure can't take it" ? When do democrats ever dish it out? Rarely! Argh, freepers are so frustratingly self-important and logic-less.

[radwriter0555]

24. I like sharpton. I think he has a lot of potential actually...

[librechik]

6. I'm scared.! Ten or twelve of these mercenaries have been known

to show up for organized events! The primaries are doomed!

One more victory for the march to No Democracy Atoll!

Go baby! Who needs two parties and checks&balances anyway? RATS invented that shit, so screw it!

[felonious thunk]

7. Several funny points about this

Do they really think that there are that many people motivated to do this? I mean, so maybe there's a couple thousand people this filled with hatred toward the Democratic party to do it, so what? What, do they seriously think that they are going to get Sharpton to win a state or two? Pretty delusional if so. I think that I'll go ahead and give the bulk of Republicans the benefit of the doubt and say that most Americans would like to see elections actually be representations of what the public wants. Excluding nuts at Free Republic, that is.

Also, can someone explain how this is "our own tactic"? I assume that to be in reference to many Democrats voting for McCain in primaries, but um, one key difference is that they actually might have voted McCain in the general election, you twits.

[arcane1]

10. if Bush were the great and noble leader they think he is...

they wouldn't need to resort to nonsense like this...


are they afraid of some OTHER Dem getting the nom???

:shrug:

chicken-shit freepers, just like their hero Bush. We laugh

[felonious thunk]

11. Exactly

If they are all about being "men" and standing up for what's right, then let's have a fair election. Let's see who wins. Why try to tip the scales in your favor like this? If Bush is so scary awesome, then let's see if he can actually win the election against the best challenger.

Twits.

[creativelcro]

13. Agreed, obviously. But, I would like to estimate

how many votes would have to be screwed to bias the primaries. Generally, not many people vote during the primaries... Still, most likely there are a few clinically manic people who may actually do something like this... I'd like to do a few calculations when I have a little time...
But, you see ? FOX badmouths DU... Shouldn't them talk about these FR threads as well ?....

[felonious thunk]

20. Well, I think you've answered your own question

How many people are so neo-con masturbatory that they will do something like this to try and wreck the other party's primary? I mean, so maybe Sharpton wins Franklin County, VA. So what? Everyone will know what happened, and it's not like that will have any impact on the rest of the state. These are voters who otherwise wouldn't have voted in a Democratic primary, so this vote for Sharpton takes no votes from Dean, Clark, Kerry or whoever. It just gets Sharpton a few extra votes. Which, if you think about it, is a nice irony, in that these people who hate Sharpton would help ensure that he has a pulpit for his message in national debate.

[arcane1]

8. will they have to bring their own porta-potties?

Or will the polling places have some on-site

no matter, freepers have to have their own :-)

[GainesT1958]

9. At OUR "own game"?

:wtf:

Excuuuuuuse me, BUT...dastardly electoral manipulation is the REPUBS' game, through and through, the last time I looked!:mad:

I'm not at all surprised to see them pull this, though...they've always had their types like that idiot out in force here in N.C. to pull the lever for the weakest Dem. candidates in the primaries, and not just when Jesse Helms was running, either. "Jessecrats", we'd call them.

I remember in 1988 when several people I knew where I lived at the time admitted they voted in the "Super Tuesday" presidential primary that year for Jesse...Jesse JACKSON, that is! Not out of any admiration for Jesse jackson, I can assure you; no, they were HAPPY to throw away their vote in a Dem. primary, even though the Repub primary that year had a real contest between Poppy and Bob Dole still going on at that point. It meant more to them to keep up the practice of political sabotage than to have a say in the primary of the party toward whose candidates they really felt loyalty. Continuing proof that the treachery Repubs like this moron will practice knows no bounds.x(

B-)

[ParanoidPat]

14. So if all 12 of them register as 'rats'......

....and vote for Sharpton......:evilgrin:

[ima_sinnic]

15. yeah, real big, just like they talked about the MoveOn primary

--there was a real big "get out the Sharpton" vote for that one, too, remember?--including bragging about signing up in their dogs' names, supposedly grabbling whole blocks of e-mail ballots-- Al Sharpton didn't get even 0.5% of that vote if I remember correctly.

[arcane1]

19. Hell, half of these rejects probably don't even vote in elections

their all-talk nature seldom translates into action, unless it's deleting cookies or sending astro-turf, whatever can be done whilst on one's own ass

[PATRICK]

16. Will boost the image of voter interest

The only effect they can have is to make it look like there is even more interest among Democratic voters than is the actual case.

The only viable strategy they have left for fouling up our primaries is actual vote fraud BBVB tampering as in Florida against Reno.

Nazi Freeper pricks.

[AntiCoup2K4]

21. Anybody got those pics from the Freep rallies?

You know the ones that show all 15 of those "patriots" proudly supporting the Idiot in Thief while doing karaoke to Lee Greenwood songs...

Caption them as "The committee to elect Al Sharpton, DemonRAT" :eyes:

[VOX]

22. If as many freepers go for Sharpton as show up to their pro-war "rallies,"

well, three or four couldn't hurt.
:evilgrin:

[goldilox369]

23. OUR tactic...?!

Yeah, i cannot believe that repugs think that this is OUR tactic, i need to what talking head started that rumour, because, i remember hearing a repug friend of mine during the mcCain/Bush primary talking that BS about how Democrats were trying to put a candidate whom Gore could beat in the election. Puh-lease...i think that back then, it would have been an even tougher election. I actually did go out and vote for McCain along with my grandma. because i was evenly split at that point between McCain and Gore. And i at least wanted a choice. when they steamrolled Bush through the SC primary i stopped watching any election coverage and just handed my vote to Gore...If you'll remember that's how they got Bush through SC and therby elected. McCain had a huge turnout in New Hampshire...and was picking loads of support through other states too...then through some political dirty dealings the extreme bible beating right wing high jacked the SC primary from the more moderate swing voters and middle of the road average americans by spreading the word that *GASP* democrats (who i'm sure were in the same position i was in) had voted. and i am sure that it wasn't a really significant majority, either.

BTW: Republicans by registering as Democrats during the primary do NOT revoke their right to vote Republican during ACTUAL elections. Only during their own primaries, which i don't think anyone is actually going to do really, because Bush has that sown up.

25. That's way back in May...
