Audacity of Truth
It’s “stolen election” preparation time in the mainstream media
Remember last year prior to the elections when I blogged about how the media was laying the groundwork to be able to blame a potentially lost election for Democrats on “stolen elections”?
Well, because Democrats won the elections last year, we didn’t hear much of anything from liberals about voter fraud because when liberals win of course that means voter fraud is supposedly no longer a problem – in fact the media has tried since then to actually downplay instances of voter fraud in an effort, I think, to give the 2006 elections more legitimacy than they’ve ever given the President and Republicans during the 2000, 2002, and 2004 elections.
Today, I see the liberal McClatchy news outlet is already starting to fan the flames and lay the groundwork for next year’s elections, in case a Democrat doesn’t win the WH:
WASHINGTON — Ohio and Florida, which provided the decisive electoral votes for President Bush’s two razor-thin national election triumphs, have enacted laws that election experts say will help Republicans impede Democratic-leaning minorities from voting in 2008.
Backers of the new laws say they’re aimed at curbing vote fraud. But the statutes also could facilitate a controversial Republican tactic known as “vote caging,” which the GOP attempted in Ohio and Florida in 2004 before public disclosures foiled the efforts, said Joseph Rich, a former Justice Department voting rights chief in the Bush administration who’s now with the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights.
Caging, used in the past to target poor minorities in heavily Democratic precincts, entails sending mass mailings to certain voters and then using the undelivered letters to compile lists of voters for eligibility challenges.
As the high-stakes ground war escalates heading into next year’s elections, Republicans have led the charge for an array of revisions to state voting rights laws, especially in key battleground states. Republican political appointees in the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division have endorsed some of these measures.
Over the last three years, the Republican-controlled state legislatures in Indiana, Georgia, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have passed laws requiring every voter to produce a photo identification card — measures that civil rights groups contend were aimed at suppressing minority voting.
Gasp! Showing ID before you vote to prove you’re who you say you are? How racist!
Just watch: Next year, if the Republican nominee wins, you’ll hear non-stop coverage and accusations of voter fraud from both the media and their Democrat pals, and specifically the accusations will be about Republicans “suppressing” the black vote and speculation as to “why” (Bob Herbert may even appear on several newscasts giving his “expert” opinion). If the Dem nominee wins, you’ll hear nothing other than how “remarkably smooth and problem-free” voting went in most states.
It never ends.

Playing the race card. I’m shocked…….really.
Watching the liberal press, leftist blogs, and the Democrat Party themselves is exactly like watching Orwell’s Minitrue in action. Facts and inconvenient stories go down the memory hole, and the lies get repeated, and tailored, so often they become defacto truths to the masses.
And how dare they disenfranchise the dead and illegal aliens that way, by requiring a picture ID? Don’t they know how hard it is for a dead person to get a current ID? I mean, the dead are already discriminated enough!
I have no problem with a national ID card with picture ID.
We have to show picture ID for something as simple as buying alcohol, why not as important as National Elections?
How does it disenfranchise anyone by showing they are legal residents?
National ID cards should be free to those who are legal residents that are able to vote, and should be the only thing allowed to use for elections. It will stop the nonsense of dead voting, multiple voting, ect.
I see nothing wrong with a national ID card being used for something like this. Hell let it take over for some of the other cards I have in my wallet so it can slim down the size of it…lol
If only it was the money that made it so thick..
[chuckles]
It doesn’t, any everybody knows it. As you pointed out, you have to show ID for the simplest of everyday things. Yet when you mention it for voting, the left goes through the roof. This would keep them from cheating, and we can’t have that. However, when you cry “RACISM!” people go running for cover and are afraid of supporting a national ID because they don’t want Jesse Jackson camped out in their front yard.
Blackmail at it’s finest.
The problem that the Left has, in regard to voter fraud, and voter intimidation, is that their entire philosophy, if you will, depends on them winning. Their attitude of pseudo-intelligence, and superiority, dictates that they must win. This was evident when Kerry lost to Bush, and couldn’t believe that he lost to “that idiot”. Usually, when voter fraud occurs, it occurs on the Left because they refuse to believe that those of us who are “morons” on the right can ever garner the most votes in any election.
The article said:
I’m sorry, but since when was President Bush’s victory in 2004 “razor-thin?” He had a three million vote margin over Senator Kerry nationally, and won Ohio by about 118,000 votes. He won a majority of all votes cast, not a plurality, the first candidate to do that since his father in 1988.
Where, oh where is the outrage at the Dems stolen gubernatorial election in Washington state?? I can’t believe the lack of press it got. And they still continue to have cases of voter fraud. We need to get rid of vote by mail and make people actually show up to be able to vote.
