Operation Chaos: Repubnuts voting for Hillary to help Mcain
Time Magazine reports

"Conservative talk radio stars Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham have urged loyal listeners to vote for the much-despised Clinton in open Democratic primaries so as to prevent Obama from sealing the nomination, and there are some indications that their calls have already been heeded in states like Texas and Mississippi. . . Even in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania, where the April 22 primary is closed to independents and Republicans, there are signs that some Republicans are going so far as to switch their party registration by the March 24 deadline to participate in what Limbaugh has dubbed 'Operation Chaos.' In the last five months, there has been a 2.2% increase in the number of registered Democrats in Pennsylvania versus a tiny dip of 0.12% in Republican numbers."

Isn't that sort of like voter fraud or something? Isn't this what the Bush Department of Justice is all about? Preventing voter fraud?

1. Limbaugh has no shame. The things I fantasize being done to him can not be printed

2. And every Repub on cable TV news pushes Hillary hard
Scarborough and Buchanan never have a good word to say about Obama but continuously promote Clinton. I wonder why?

14. Yes, it's pretty obvious
Who they want as the nominee, and it isn't because they want the dems to win!

5. I guess you missed the memo where Obama got more republican vote then Hillary did in Tx
So I don't think this is a factor.

8. Some venues ask if people are crossing over in good faith
as a condition of casting a legal vote.

Rush was basically asking people to lie and break those laws.

12. The sad thing is
There are people that listen to these idiots and do what they say! The ironic thing is Hillary will take all those republican votes, and claim they are doing better in "popular" vote. Of course if she gets the nomination this way, she will still lose in November when all those republicans vote for McCain.

It's really low, but nothing much we can do about it. Just shows you how bad McCain really is when they have to do this to get him a nominee he can beat!

13. The Obama talking point that won't go away
So the fact Obama has carried mostly Republican states usually beating Hillary by double digits yeah that plan is sure is working. Here's a real first hand account a cousin who voted in the Mississippi primary has told my sister that the Mississippi GOP was the ones passing out the pro Obama literature and making sure people knew where was their voting places.

15. The Obama Camp has NEVER used this
what are YOU smoking?

25% of the White Mississippi Clinton Voters were Limbaugh Republicans.

Why not just admit it that YOU DON'T MIND how she wins?

18. Cranky know your role
Let me think this one over hmm first hand account vs the thing you just said.. hmm tough choice which one I will go with hmm.. Let me think.. Ok I got it I'm going with the first hand account of the Republicans helping the Obama campaign in Mississippi and the person who told me and my sister was an Obama supporter. If you guys want to run around scream err the Republicans are helping Hillary and the best you got are articles with two cases sorry I'm going with my first hand source. You can hide your head up your ass all you like but look at the states Sen.Obama won go ahead I know you're scared but look at them, most of them are blood red Republican states, purple if the Republicans don't feel like voting. And using the Obama supporter logic I guess Wisconsin should be tossed out then because your guy got cross over Republicans voters.

Funny when Republicans vote for Obama they seen the evils of the Bush White House, yet the vote for Clinton they're trying to fuck everything up.

17. How Easily You Can Be Led...
Just prior to that, Limpballs had no power to get the Re-cons to vote against McSame (you all agreed and were basically singing 'Ding! Dong! The Anal-Cyst Is Dead' - his 'power' was gone - Now, you believe that Senator Obama's primary losses (2 weeks ago) are all due to the great power of the Limpballs as the Re-cons will do whatever he says (seems to me that it would be a motivating factor to bring out votes for Senator Obama to 'show him' that he can't mess with us!) - Please stop the nonsense and DON'T return to him the mask of his phony 'power' !!!
