Voter Fraud

[gwb72tii]

well since romney hasn't been at bain capital since 1999 i fail to see the conflict

[Kershaw]

i said i raise my eyebrow at ANYONE that carries weapons of violence in public. i did say i was suspicious of their motives and i wasnt ok with what they were doing. but that im also suspicious of ANYONE carry a weapon. and the fact remains that they were not beating or yelling at people. im not saying it's ok, they look like petulant children.

gwb, dude. read it again. no, wait. here, let me copy and paste for you.

Through a closely held equity fund called Solamere, Mitt Romney and his wife, son and brother are major investors in an investment firm called H.I.G. Capital. H.I.G. in turn holds a majority share and three out of five board members in Hart Intercivic, a company that owns the notoriously faulty electronic voting machines that will count the ballots in swing state Ohio November 7. Hart machines will also be used elsewhere in the United States.

i dont see anything about bain capital...

Wow wtf happend in here................ Cale is defending me ............ WHOOOAAA

apparently bain capital has purchased quite a bit of a company that controls ohio voting machines.

you said Bain capital, and since Mittten has not been there in almost a decade, I dont see an issue with that. Your 1 sided view that only the right tries to sway a vote in their favor, is fucking nuts since the left has been caught so much more in the last decade, in many different way, so I posted a video to illustrate a point.

Yeah I carry a weapon, when at work and a home. I dont brandish it, some times it may be in a open holster on my hip at home (Legal), but if I was wandering around waving it around, let alone at a poll, like the ass hat in the clip, my ass would be in jail for a very long time.

Thanks Cale

and allow me to put on my tin foil hat here, but i just cant see how this is legal. but since it involves romney, im sure he can find a way.

apparently bain capital has purchased quite a bit of a company that controls ohio voting machines. this is a terrible conflict of interest and i dont care what anyone says. this is bad for the US. this is fraud. a person running for office owns the machines that enter votes? yeah. please excuse my tin foil hat because that shit is not kosher.

Well, the last 3 elections had rigged and fraudulent voting machines. Do you really expect it to be different this round, especially with the whole Voter ID crap?

you're absolutely right. i did say that. a bit of a goof there. thanks, i just changed it to romney & company. it's him, his wife, sons, etc...

and maybe you are right, maybe those black panthers were there to try to sway voters (through intimidation) into voting who they wanted. from the video though, it doesnt look like they were very effective at doing anything other than looking like chihuahuas. (lots of bark.)

but it's another thing entirely when a presidential candidate owns controlling interests in the company that builds the machines that determine who becomes president, dont you think? :loco:

ACORN means nothing, next to the ability to fail to record actual votes.

Ok well technically Romney doesn't own the machines himself but still any candidate that has or was affiliated with a specific company/group and then that organization goes off and buys equipment used in the voting process is shady to me. But it's happen from both sides of the field so what do you expect. Both sides are guilty of it but that is what it has become to so both sides will begin to play this game.

[Kershaw]

you have a source for obama or obama's family owning voting machines or are you making things up?

post up, i'd like to see it.

[Thizzelle]

2008 Yeah who were they trying to keep from the poll to vote ??? Not really the "fraud" your talking about but this is just as bad if NOT WORSE, and NOTHING was ever done about it.

I remember this, using intimidation. These guy are super racist too.

[slammin.e28]

Rockingham Co is all Mennonite turkey farmers. They don't vote anyways.

Moot story is moot.

[Threehz]

How is this not a conflict of interest?

What the fuck are you guys talking about, right, left, demo, repub? You act like those words mean anything. Guess what? Democrats and republicans both include pedophiles, rapists, murderers, fathers, mothers, kids, and even people voting for the opposite candidate.

Every time I visit this section of R3V I see people showing exactly how much they don't care about our country or each other.

[future rs]

if the charges were dropped, you dont have an argument. back to the topic at hand.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT ROMNEY AND CO. OWNING INTERESTS IN VOTING MACHINES?

So along that line of logic Romney is innocent since there are no legal charges or convictions against him for voter fraud. So your whole argument is based off speculation. You're saying he "may" commit voter fraud. Owning voting machines isn't illegal. Sure you can say that it could be a concern, But at this point he hasn't committed any crimes. Good thing you don't run our legal system.

Sounds like good business to me... Buy up all the voting machines prior to major election. Charge out the ass to allow the government to use them. Profit. Then compile your earnings from the elections, and sell the machines to another firm. With the profit margins from the recent elections you can drive the price up... Making back all the money from the original investment along with the earnings from the elections. :giggle:

[Kershaw]

speculation? this is a blatant conflict of interest. an affront to democracy. it doesnt even matter if fraud doesnt happen, a presidential candidate and his family being invested in election machines is totally unacceptable. and there is no way to verify that fraud wouldnt occur.

and oh yeah sure. it's great business. if i had no scruples, this is exactly what i would do. but you arent thinking far enough, clever idea, sure. but it's so short term. once i get myself elected i'd make myself richer than gaddafi ever was.

and as far as intimidation... apparently rednecks have gone around shooting obama signs. a message to what happens to obama voters? perhaps.

you know, you and the other lefties on this forum would have a lot more credibility if you criticized your own once in a while, as we did with boooooosh.
