ROFL! "Maybe we shouldn't have laughed at DU'ers who wanted paper ballots...." Freepers terrified!

Apparently Hugo Chavez has a hand in a voter machine company here in the United States and the Freepers are now terrified that he might be trying to screw with the election by helping Democrats. Of course, the situation is more complicated than that, and it's not simply Chavez calling the shots at this company, but the Freepers naturally don't trust him, and now half of them are grumbling about how they mocked DU'ers for wanting a "paper trail".

God, gotta love these people, don't you?

Yes, you were wrong. But don't worry. Chavez doesn't have to "steal" the election. We're going to clean your clocks anyway. "We", being the American people.

I love it. And I have a paper ballot, too, right here on my desk. I'm turning it in on election day.

2. Michigan conservative is a real classic
To: MichiganConservative
"Agreed. I had the same worries about the left. I knew Karl Rove and our side couldn't rig the machines and keep it secret if our lives depended on it, since some low-level Dem would rat us out. But the Dems are much better at that - and now a bunch of US haters (even more so than the Dems) from down south could really turn our voting system inside out."

5. It's a classic alright.
Almost impossible to figure out what the hell they're saying.

3. Obviously, I don't think Chavez is going to "steal" the election, but ...
We tried to tell them in 2000. While they were gloating and holding their "Sore Loserman" signs and telling us to "get over it," we told them that although they thought it was funny, there would come a day when it would be THEIR votes that were on the line and suddenly it wouldn't be so f*cking funny!

Karma ... I love it. :evilgrin:

4. Don't Laugh At Them...
...this is exactly what we're going to be hearing on November 8th IF the Dems take back Congress.

and you just KNOW that the "liberal" media is going to report on it, if only because the Republicans, unlike the Democrats in 2004 (apparently), won't have anything to lose by screaming "ELECTION FRAUD!!!"

6. Any publicity would be good publicity
End Result:

More voters demanding security and reliability in the voting process.
