molson_golden2002 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 The absolute worst thing that happened for your party was technology that allowed people to factcheck things for themselves. ACORN? A simple internet search shows what a non-issue it is. Ayers? A simple internet search shows what a non-issue he is. Obama's heritage, whether he'll raise taxes, how he's a Socialist, just about everything shouted out by the GOP Ministry of Truth is easily shot down with less than five clicks on the internet. You are only left with your rapidly dwindling base of ignoratti. It's the story of this election. Also, the Macakah [sic] thing from 2006 has also been a big thing. Liberals are everywhere on the campaign trail with cameras recording everything and posting it on youtube. How have the Republicans not done this themselves???
blzrul Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Think about how hard the GOP has gone after ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) since the conventions. From the minute Palin was nominated she (and the GOP) went hard after "community organizers." At that point in the summer they knew they were getting killed with respect to new voter registrations. In some states the numbers are almost three-to-one, Dem to Rep. The GOP is setting the public up to accept what will probably be widespread registration roll purges, ridiculously long lines at polling places in these communities to slow them down (because they're going to triple-check every single person), intimidation, and post-election recount lawsuits. Many of the voters in Ohio were actually registered for the primaries (hint: not the GOP primaries) so the GOP has every reason to want to purge these people from the rolls. It's what they do.

Da Big Man Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Those cheating bastards at it again. SHOCKER!!!

It's what they do. So what you're saying is that they're too stupid to properly fill out a registration card. I thought the Dim's were the smart ones?

It was just a matter of time. Ladies and gentlemen, adjust your tin foil helmets! This is not a drill!!
