Default Karl Rove Comitted Felony Election Fraud

Karl Rove committed felony election fraud in 2004 by using "caging lists" to exclude military personnel and minorities from voting.

Bush Election Fraud Mechanics

3,000,000 names were challenged nationwide, enough to swing the election to Bush's favor.

More information on this on Wikipedia here.

Oh wow... great speech!

Yogi Berra - "It's amazing what you can see when you look"

I feel the same way about the new election. What's the point in voting? It's a totally dominated system.

Yea Dan and Dave the Republicans disenfranchised the voters of Florida big time in the 2000 election. Of course Democrats would never think about disenfranchising their voters. Florida and Michigan Democrats voices will be heard loud and clear this year huh?

I couldn't care less who does it -- if it's illegal it's illegal.

Party affiliation doesn't give people license to break the law.

Let's be careful with the word "illegal," because the law at this point is clearly BS. We're talking about two groups of control here, democrats and republicans. Neither of these parties is going to save us because it's still a concept of duality.

Party affiliation means illegality at every rung of the ladder. They know the rules so well that they can break them without being called on it. Democrat or Republican, they're breaking laws.

Hell, they make the laws. Look at the McCarthy era - it's all happening over again. Lets unite against this faceless enemy and give our liberties away to democrats or republicans. We are being terrorized - but it's coming from the inside. Democrat and Republican alike, they are the oppressors.

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch."
Ben Franklin

“An unjust law is a code that a numerical or power majority compels a minority group to obey, but does not make binding on itself.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

These are the laws we're currently controlled by. This is why both parties are the wrong way to go.

That is bull because both you and Dave NEVER bring up illegal behaviors brought up by Democrats in Congress. Democrats have their share of despicable criminal behavior, but you decide to turn a blind eye towards it or just so happen to coincidentally not talk about it here.......ever. The Democratic Florida primary is a lot more current than this Rove article.

I don't know of any Dems currently being investigated for election fraud. Or anything else.

Care to enlighten me?

Dan maybe because you decide to ignore it or don't care to investigate it. For example, we hear you spout off all the time about the Iraq war, yet we don't hear you bitch or complain about when Clinton went into Bosnia or his bombing of Iraq. Now I don't have any "current" investigations in mind because frankly rich Republicans have better things to do than to go after crooked Democrats (i.e. George Soros). But here are some very interesting articles that I'm sure you'll just ignore. Dan if you set in life to play and be the victim, you'll always be the victim. These below just happened recently, and not 8 or 4 years ago. Wait, Rove hasn't even been prosecuted yet.

Typical tactic of someone who obviously supports one particular political party--whenever something bad comes to light of that party, just try to draw the attention away by pointing the finger at the other party's wrongdoings.

Both major parties are messed up and full of crooks. Everyone already knows this, yet we don't really DO anything about it. We try to brush it off, thinking someone else will take care of it...or maybe we might alert a few people, try to get a petition or two signed or picket somewhere...but what has this REALLY accomplished?

Whenever a government was REALLY corrupt in history, the only way to thoroughly change it was a full-scale revolution...but not enough people here seem to have the balls to do that.

Piano, no one has been prosecuted! I can sue you or the government can charge you with anything. It doesn't mean that the charges are true.

Again no one has been prosecuted, yet Dan's title to this blog states that he has. I feel that this is abnormal.

Right. They can change the laws to suit their needs, so "The Law" isn't a suitable benchmark to judge the behavior of politicians.

That's why some of us crazy folks like to rant about how they're "Violating the Constitution!" That ratty old piece of paper is a lot harder to change.

Not true.

$60 Million was spent to investigate the Clintons for Whitewater, for example. That was nothing compared to this.

Like I've said before, a crime is a crime is a crime.

The difference between you and I Amadeus, is that you only want to prosecute one party (Dems) when they commit crimes, instead of prosecuting both parties equally. You want to let Republicans get away with murder, literally.

Why is that?

Why would you only want to prosecute Dems when they commit crimes, but not Republicans? Even when Republicans commit felonies you want to give them a free pass.

Why are you so desperate to see all Republicans as the good guys?

No the difference is that this particular blog is operated and followed by obvious liberal haters who just sit on their assess cutting and pasting things they have read by flaming liberal journalist who attempt to make the news instead of reporting it. Frankly I'm beginning to think I may becoming one of you. Conservatives (majority of Republicans) are right now working contributing to society instead of wasting their lives dissecting each other's posts that contribute nothing to society or watching the Jerry Springer Show.

The Republican party is now full of neocons. Neocons aren't true conservatives. You don't even know what conservativism really is.

Would you care to fill us in on what contributions they are making?

*Ahem* Those are not really true conservatives because the original philosophy of conservatism includes...aw forget it.

I officially deem this thread a Partisan Hackery Warzone. Proceed.

Yea you are right, ALL Christians and "conservatives" bomb abortion clinics and "bash" gays. No you are not being narrow minded or judgmental at all. As a matter of fact i have to get going to my next appointment to bomb my local abortion clinic and will bring my bat along in case I see Dan on the street. Geez!!!!!

True conservatives hate government interference. True liberals love big government and they love income distribution. China was a third world communist, and still is for the most part, country until Hong Kong began rubbing off on them. He had a **** hole of a country and in the mist of it was a beatiful thriving city. Liberalism equals communism.

I'm pretty sure this thread was about Karl Rove, not ALL CHRISTIANS AND CONSERVATIVES.

Karl Rove is only a conservative because you label him one. They're right to put him in the category of neocon.

Nothing is true right now - thanks to the fact that English is a living language, anyways. We need to see past the labels, as DAN IS DOING when he calls for the prosecution of anyone who breaks just laws.

The only side I side with is the side of the persecuting the
