SubscribeDem Bosses Want A Mail-in Re-Do For FL
From the DNC’s Associated Press:
Fla. mail-in primary plan gains traction
By JOHN DUNBAR Associated Press Writer
03/09/2008WASHINGTON—A consensus began to emerge Sunday that the best way to give Florida’s Democrats a voice in electing a candidate for president lies with the U.S. Postal Service…
DNC Chairman Howard Dean said a mail-in primary is “actually a very good process.”
“Every voter gets a ballot in the mail,” the former Vermont governor said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “It’s comprehensive, you get to vote if you’re in Iraq or in a nursing home. It’s not a bad way to do this.” …
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., appeared to be amenable to a mail-in solution for his state, though with less enthusiasm.
Speaking on ABC’s “This Week,” Levin said doing the election again would be against state law. “That can’t be changed, and that can’t be paid for,” he said. Levin also said caucuses would be difficult, with 500 potential sites.
“The one possibility would be some kind of a mail-in caucus,” he said. “But there’s some real problems with that, too. Not just cost, but the security issue. How do you make sure that hundreds of thousands, perhaps a million or more ballots can be properly counted and that duplicate ballots can be avoided?” …
Mr. Levin is pleased to be amusing.
It’s clear that the Democrat bosses now think that Mrs. Clinton may well make their best candidate after all.
So they are pushing for the approach that will give them the best opportunity to stuff the ballot boxes and throw the nomination to Hillary. (Free of any tint of racism.)
But oh the irony of having the Democrat nomination being stolen in Florida.

Why isn’t the RNC making fun of these dough-heads. I’d be making claims of mail fraud and anything else I could think of. I keep waiting for Howard Dean to implode. If they opt to use the USPS I say they have to pay first class postage–no bulk mailing allowed. But, oh yes, delicious is the fact that Florida could once again be cause for heartburn in the democrat party. Too real–hanging chads and all! :-}

“500 potential sites”
Wow that is a lot! In PA there are 501 school districts. So in PA we would just head for the local high school. Not quite that simple but close enough. We actually vote in the local fire house.
Florida and Michigan ought to be able to find high schools and fire houses.
Do it on Saturday or Sunday and/or after the school year is over and the high schools are empty.

Howard Dean, Carl Levin, Hillary Clinton…….oh, I don’t care, pick any democrat…..they all seem to be auditioning for Saturday Night Live. Too bad they lack the talent, although they are rather comical to watch.

‘best way to give Florida’s Democrats a voice in electing a candidate for president lies with the U.S. Postal Service…’-
The phrase best way, Florida, Democrats, electing, President, and U.S. Postal Service 1) should never, ever be used in a sentence together and 2) is an ironic twist (can we say Election 2000 Redo - oh the double irony of the Party of Vietnam Redo having it come back and bite them in the well, proverbial ass) of having the Dem Nomination being stolen in FLA. . .
I agree JohnMG - if the conservatives, any/all non-fiberal pundits, talk radio (since that appears to be only conservative in America), the RNC and the RNC candidate in waiting were to just go after the ‘fun’ factor and hypocritical factor of the DNC, Dem Party and their candidates to be - there’d be no need for attack ads - remember - The Truth Will Set You Free. . .
Of course it all boils down to the DNC set the rules, the Clintons broke them (so to speak or took advantage of them, if you will) and now that the ‘chosen’ candidate is - gasp - losing - the DNC wants to break their own set rules or - (for those in Rio Linda) politics as usual for the Democrat Party.

“How do you make sure that hundreds of thousands, perhaps a million or more ballots can be properly counted and that duplicate ballots can be avoided?” …”
0. Sign up the delegate candidates as volunteers.
1. Count one at a time.
2. Use reasonably secure voter identification.
After counting dimpled chads, now they want to properly count and avoid duplicate ballots?
If Democrats had a conscience or shame they would just shut up.

……” you get to vote if you’re in Iraq or in a nursing home. It’s not a bad way to do this.” …
Seems I remember these very same s**theads wanting to dis-allow the military absentee ballots. Is this the “fairness” of which they speak?

A mail in vote? They have GOT to be kidding!!! I can see it now….”well Bill, Florida has just under six point five million registered democrats, and at last count, Hillary Clinton had garnered over seventy billion votes, and that is just in the Miami Dade area”……” more ballots are coming in via container ships, over seven hundred million tons of ballots that are still yet to be counted are tied up in the harbor due to the immense back log of over sixty million ballots stacked up on the docks from other various precincts and prisons around the country”…..
” Yes Bill, this is an historic moment….”Hillary has managed to get the entire population of the world to send an average of fifty six ballots each voting for her”……talk about a landslide victory! “I wonder how Barak is taking the news…. his one ballot is still laying on someone’s desk in DNC headquarters. Nobody is there now though, seems they all got free tickets to Disney World. Dont you love the Democrat’s honesty and integrity? We do! See ya on the teacups!

You forgot…..
3 Concede the election to the Republicans. The dems are too inept to be in power.

Lest we forget it was the fact that the Michigan and Florida Democrat primaries were meaningless that allowed so many Dems to cross over to vote in the GOP primaries in those states.
And it was Florida that gave us John McCain.
Where do we go to get our do-over?

If this wasn’t so sad, It would be funny.

Well, maybe the Hillary Diane-o-crat Rodham Clintons went to the metric system.

Yep, as I have said, one half of a normal/Gaussian population is below average.

SG;….”Where do we go to get our do-over?…”
Regrettably, we haven’t anywhere to go for that, so I guess we make lemonade. Still, I find it amusing that these manipulators have been hoisted on their own petard. Imagine thinking their nomination was a “done deal”, only to find out they’re faced with a dillema of their own making. The democrats don’t know whether to nominate the “nut” with the two boobs……..or the “boob” with the two nuts. Rich! Oh so rich!

“Florida and Michigan ought to be able to find high schools and fire houses.”
Come on, we’re talking about a political party that goes to State courts and even the US Supreme Court claiming that their members are too dumb to get a photo ID so that they can prove who they are for Voter ID: and you expect them to find schools or fire houses.
March 9th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
SG, now that we’ve seen the theoretically conservative Fred Thompson and Romney endorse McCain, were we given the opportunity for a “do over” who would we select instead?

The DNC told Michigan and Florida that if they held their elections early they would not have their delegates seated. OK, you already know that the voters in those states are not going to take that punishment lightly as it “disenfranchises” their vote. And remember, Democrats are all for not disenfranchising any vote, even those of dead illegals buried in a public cemetary.
Now Obamassiah, who wanted to appear above all the petty disagreements, decided to withdraw his name from the Michigan primary. Remember, he did not have to do that. He could have left his name there and just promised not to campaign in Michigan. But I figure he thought he would lose Michigan anyway, so why not throw out some empty gesture, playing to the powers of the DNC, and trying to make himself look above the fray. It backfired in his face. As did Florida. And now, he wants the decision to stand. Ahhhh, poor BooBoo Barack. He gambled and lost. And now some of the rainmen that run the DNC want cash strapped Michigan to pick up the tab for a re-do.
I hope the DNC tells Michigan the decision stands and really pisses off every Michigan Democrat who now understand that they don’t count. Can you see them crossing the aisle to vote for McCain? I can.

I’m hoping the Dhimmirats implode between now and the convention. Shrillary will stop at nothing to gain
her coronationthe nomination no matter the damage to the party. That’s the Clintoon way folks. Damn the truth, full speed ahead, get the hell out of the way Obamessiah!!Sorry Denver but I hope your police are up to snuff concerning riot training.

Check out the Hillary photo! No more halo effects, now it looks like the MSM is making her head appear to be a comet. Don’t know if that means to indicate she’s a shooting star or flaming out.
March 10th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
This is one example of why I think it’s important to jump on any opportunity to take Hillary out. Hussein is a threat (hell to lesser degree McCain is a threat) but Hillary’s machine is well established and entrenched. Imagine what she will be capable of as President. I have little doubt that her influence is the reason this sham is gaining momentum and will likely happen. Even the method they’re favoring works better for her. What a co-winky dink.
I have to wonder if any honest person believes there’s integrity in our election system today. IMO it’s a big fraud continued on to placate those who still believe they get to choose their president.

“you expect them to find schools or fire houses”
Sorry, I forgot what my daughter told me once, “You can’t expect everyone to be as smart as you are.”
Yeah, I suppose expecting someone to find a specific high school or fire house is elitist on my part.
