Poli-tricks! Can a republican explain?

why would the GOP spew lies like robocalling and saying people can vote by phone, or that if someone has unpaid parking tickets they can get arrested at the polls.

    did you notice ...the answers from republicans...either your lying...the medias lying...or hahaha stupid democrats...no answer at all...why is that?

    because they are either not smart enough or because they know that the dirty tricks and lies is what has gotten their party elected, why?....Because the truth does not suit them well.

    Maria: I don't believe this is a lie. I did read the article I believe he is reading and talking about. It wouldn't surprise me. There are obviously immoral and dishonest people in BOTH parties (ACORN?). The problem ONCE AGAIN is that out of that whole article, citing tons or trickery, can you guess which party got the most examples. I'm sure this will surprise you.......REPUBS. Of course, you know to make it fair, the author did cite TWO instances of dirty tricks by dems. It was a whole long article and they devoted two SHORT paragraphs to giving examples of what dems have done wrong. It sure is a good thing the media is on obama's side. Otherwise he wouldn't stand a chance. If people would do a little research instead of depending on the media to tell them who to vote for, this would be a landslide in favor of McCain. I believe that because I don't think there are really THAT many American's that would support someone as immoral as obama.

    Source(s): ADD: Voice of Reason's answers were the ONLY TWO examples of tricks by dems in the article. COME on. REally? Those are the only two tricks pulled by dems. NO. Those are the only one's the media threw in there so they could say they are unbiased.

    ACORN's deceptive practices!! Can a democrat explain?

    All dishonest and deceptive practices--by a small number of *both* parties--are despicable.

    The fact that Obama has been publicly endorsed by the leadership of Cuba, Iran, North Korea and the terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah--what does that say about him?-- should be all anyone needs to know to *not* vote for him.

    On Thursday I voted for the candidate who went to war for America, like I did (and before me my father).

    And Republicans are not exempt. "Part of it is that election campaigns are more online than ever before," said Goldman. "During the primaries, a lot of Web sites went up that seemed to be for (GOP candidate Rudy) Giuliani, but actually were attack sites."

    New York City's former mayor and his high-profile colleagues Fred Thompson and Mitt Romney were also targeted in fake Internet sites that featured "quotes" from the candidates espousing support for extreme positions they never endorsed.

    Taken from YOUR SOURCE

    you forgot this in your rant. Read to the bottom where most of the liberal media put stuff not in favor of their candidate if they bother at all.

    I think the robocalling is just one more of the fear tactics America has been struggling with for 8 years. Yesterday, I got a recorded message from "Barack" inviting me and my family to vote, even all go together. His voice, without any ranting and raving. So...you can vote for rant and rave and fear or you can vote for calm, firm, and steady. It is your choice... By the way, I am a converted Democrat.

    Not sure. Some people, regardless of party, are jack*sses. Nothing new. Read the ENTIRE article.

    The best defense is knowledge, wouldn't you agree? If people are dim enough to believe this crap they shouldn't be voting to begin with.

    From your own source (perhaps you should have someone read these things to you before you spout off):

    Source(s): You. Ironic, ain't it?

    It is the only way they can win. No one is buying what they are legitimately selling so they have to spew lies about the competitor, and use fear to keep people away who might vote for Obama.

  • 1 decade ago

    Both sides do this and they also use voting machines that are known to cause 'issues'. They do this so that the whole voting system doesn't work. That way they get to decide who wins, sadly.

    Stop winning because your inept and didn't get to the right school on the short bus.or maybe it was the union teacher you had.

    Because the DemocRATS are usually uneducated people and can be fooled easily. The republicans will screw anybody that gets in their way including republicans.
