divisionbyzero writes "Many people have asked for it so that the government will have to deal with it. So here it is: a guide to stealing an election that uses electronic voting machines written by Jon Stokes over at Arstechnica. From the article: "In all this time, I've yet to find a good way to convey to the non-technical public how well and truly screwed up we presently are, six years after the Florida recount. So now it's time to hit the panic button: In this article, I'm going to show you how to steal an election.""

    Ahh, that old canard again. As if it wouldn't be patently obvious it was hacked if something suspicious happened.

    No, the Democrats have perfected stealing elections to an art. Have corrupt union heads and mobsters in your pocket to get their constituents to vote for their preferred candidate.

    You just cant stand the fact that Republicans might just kick the Dem's asses this November, can you?

    It's an intellectually vapid and ridiculous notion that polling data should be the deciding factor in an election and not the actual votes cast. Yet, in favor of the polls, you ignore the fact that the majority of this country on the moderate to conservative side. You ignore the fact that Bush, both fucking times, has garnered more votes than Clinton ever did. You forget the fact that this country continues to vote in Republication houses and senates each election cycle and you forget that our economy is god damned fucking BOOMING.

    You are acting like a petulant child, whining and bitching when you don't get your way and accusing everyone of being out to get you. Yes, it's obvious, with the constant daily barrage by the media telling us how fucked up this country is and how fucked up Iraq is and how angry we are all supposed to be, how could any of us vote for Republicans?

    Something you are missing is that a large number of people in this country see our economy booming, we see the RECORD unemployment and the booming housing sector. We are smart enough to understand how oil is traded on commodities markets and we aren't freaking out when prices fluctuate. We understand that the war in Iraq and the war on terror will take time and that we can't just snap our fingers and wish us all to utopia.

    We also see the democratic political war machine for what it is and see the Foley scandal for what it is. We see the Amendment #2 bullshit in Missouri and we see what our southern border security would be like if the Democrats control the house.

    We do not want what the Democratic party is offering. It's as simple as that.

    Silly me, I forgot that if you don't toe the democratic party line here, you get modded down. Thanks, Mr. Moderator, for making sure any debate here at slashdot is one sided.
