With a long-awaited election day finally at hand, many people will be rooting around for the early word on who’s leading the presidential race. The best advice from the experts is don’t trust early leakers claiming they got the inside scoop from the exit polls.

Mainstream News Media has been deadly SILENT on the whereabouts of ACORN staffers. Sure, ACORN broke up. But, just like that silver, mercury looking stuff on Terminator 3, they have reformed and are out there registering Mickey Mouse and Roy Rogers all over again.This election, like the last election in 2008 and 2004, will be decided by sinister forces behind the scene. NOT the will of the people.

I could vote for any candidate and then tell the exit poll I voted for Mickey Mouse.

And that's assuming I bother talking to them.

That would require the winner to be determined by honest voting. We all know that's not the case thanks to zombies and electronic voting machines.

Statistical results show less Republicans will talk to people conducting exit polls. I personally don't talk to them cause I'm going to work.

I checked that Video that you posted here & according to the subtext by the person ("cleanituppeople") that posted the Video on YouTube: ("A Pennsylvania voting machine was taken out of service on Election Day 2012 after it was filmed switching a vote for President Barack Obama to one for his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, NBC News has confirmed.

Mother Jones reported that the machine was recalibrated and returned to service.

"There was a single complaint, so they recalibrated the machine, did a test run, and put it back online. We've had no complaints since then," Mathew Keeler, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of State, told Mother Jones.") Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?... So your inference is unfounded & the problem has long since been corrected long before you posted Your Comment & the Video here. Next time, you might want to do a little research before You make yourself look foolish. You didn't do yourself Justice.

of course it was corrected, they were caught red handed. that doesn't absolve them of the crime of election fraud. anytime it's pointed out that the right is truly responsible for the election fraud perpetrated in this country, some apologist comes out to "explain" it or defend it. today, you are that person. and nowhere did i say it was or wasn't corrected. it's just a valid example of what happens when the conservatives actually manufacture the voting machines.

The machine in question was corrected long before you even posted your comment here on Sodahead. At the time I made the reply comment to You, your initial comment was only "1 hour old" & that machine had been long since corrected. That shows me that You just posted it & didn't even bother to read the caption that went with it. You're either being ignorant or being dishonest. Now, which is it?

Well, if you can't act like an Adult, you shouldn't be talking. Also, I wasn't trying to be funny. You couldn't answer a straight forward question & resorted to "name calling." So the "joke's on You," not me. From here on out, You're "ignored."

Would you believe Hitler tried to vote in Ohio a few days ago? Yes, Demunists are that desperate.

reply
Jeff to Aqua Surf 2012/11/07 02:39:51

Yeah, I heard that, too. They need to at least Voter ID cards and driver's licenses but they conveniently won't do it.

Just like a candidate for the Presidency and higher offices need to have security clearances but don't.

Watch the MSM, MSNBC/NBC in particular, try to call it for Obama early and often in an effort to discourage Romney voters in the West from voting.

Lying basturds, for all the good it will do them. I'm checking results on FOX on the
net; last check had Romney with twice as many popular votes as Maobama!

reply
Lanikai to Aqua Surf 2012/11/07 15:21:09

But the machines were voting obama even as the boxes were clicked for Romney.

Let us grasp that our nation is dead, our republic is finished and we have a quasi-dictator in office and socialism/communism coming with a very, very aggressive retribution against any who opposed the regime.

Things are about to get ugly in AmeriKA.
