the primitives and Diebold

[franksolich]

For more than the past decade, we've all heard the primitives make various allegations about Diebold and the elections (allegations which they strangely don't make when the Democrats come out on top).  It's been a long, dreary, dull, monotonous odyssey, the primitives and Diebold; a real yawner of a saga.

And as usual, the primitives haven't thought something all the way through.

There are people around who flourish and prosper off the panic and hysteria of others.

As long as the primitives have waxed wroth about Diebold, they've created a "market" for panic profiteers, and oh my, what a lucrative market it's been for the hysteria hustlers.

Many here aren't familiar with the Great Controversy (limited to Skins's island) of November 2004, when a prominent election-reform activist showed up among the primitives, and was rudely thrown out.

The origins of the feud, to keep this short, were in that the malicious cartoon character, the "Kevin Malice" or "Kelvin Mace" or whatever primitive, had tried to cheat this election-reform activist on a book-publishing deal, and because she wouldn't let him cheat her, he Hated her with a passion that would impress Hell.

Coincidentally at the same time, the late red round one showed up on Skins's island.  The late red round one had worked for the election-reform activist, and gotten fired because he wasn't even trying to do a damned thing he'd promised to do.

Both of them got a great deal of misplaced sympathy from the primitives, who Hated, just absolutely Hated, this election-reform activist.....who did rather well pursuing this Diebold controversy.  I don't think she became a millionaire, but it appears she did pretty good.

So something for the primitives to think about.

As long as the primitives keep pushing this stupid Diebold meme, someone the primitives Hate is going to continue flourishing and prospering.

If the primitives were a tenth as smart as they allege themselves to be, they'd find something else, something different, something similarly outlandish (but one hopes not so boring) on which to blame their electoral defeats, than on Diebold.

The corner-office guys at Diebold headquarters in North Canton, Ohio are putting the finishing touches on Election 2012 as we speak.

Their strategies will not be revealed until election night. Then DUmmy TruthIsAll can go to work.

Hell, Bev even got on national TV sayin' how easy it was to rig the machines.

There was a guy at FreeRepub and me who tried like hell to get her to at least send us the code she swore she and her confederates had found. We were both experienced in machine language and told her so. There were countless people asking for her to furnish the proof. We volunteered to look it over and explain it to anyone interested.

Needless to say, it never happened, and it wasn't long before she went down the political toilet. Not just at the DUmp and FreeRepub, but with the MSM also.

I don't believe there was ever anything to it, but to this day the DUmmies are sure we can swing the vote by merely steppin' into the booth and by slight of hand........

Never mind that Unca Dirty Harry Reid used the same machines, had the SEIU control them, won 2 out of 18 counties in Nevada, and still won his race. DUmmies can look that up any time they want!

If I were them, I'd quit tryin' to bring attention to machines.

The ATM at my bank is a Diebold machine, since I am a lifelong republican, shouldn't it give me free money?

It only pays out if you make concern troll posts at DU.

Not only that, but ya have to enter the right code. Not sure where the hell yer goin' to get one nowadays. We used to get 'em from Rove. Chas Hendrickson and PJ might be able to help but I dunno any more.

The ParGen "went off the rails" and started writing its' own destructive codes.  We had to shut that subroutine down.

I still get a laugh when I think back to how the DUmbasses just KNEW that if only they could prove to the world that Kerry really won, then President Bush would be escorted out of the White House under guard as John Kerry was being sworn in.

Then there were those who thought if only President Bush could be impeached then Kerry could be sworn in and take his rightful place.  To hell with the constitutional laws concerning orderly transistions and that 25th Amendment thing.

You know, if the primitives want to blame anybody for Kerry losing Ohio, all they got to do is look at one of their own.

The prominent election-reform activist was just ten dollars away from showing that Kerry actually won Ohio, and hence the presidency.

Just ten lousy measly little bucks.

But then the malicious cartoon character stepped in and let a personal vendetta of his interfere.

So she never got that final ten bucks needed, and Kerry lost Ohio.

The blame lies squarely on the shoulders of the Kevin Malice or Kelvin Mace or whatever primitive, who let his own little tiny personal snit obstruct the greater good (i.e., Kerry winning Ohio).

She was s-o-o-o-o-o close, but then the jerk tripped her up.

I dunno why the primitives never saw this; it was as plain as day.

"Only $10.00 away..." -- "24 business hours..." -- such close close brushes with destiny.  Nobody knows like a DUmmie know that Destiny can be a cruel and viscous bitch.

So anyway, I voted this morning here in red state hell.

It went very smoothly. The line looked kind of long, but I was out the door only fifteen minutes after entering.

I thought there'd be some confusion, what with all the Diebold technicians running around, adjusting the guts of the voting machines, but no problem.

I asked one of them what they were doing, since there were only four races on my ballot, and two of those were unopposed.

He said it was field training, a dry run of sorts, so staff would be up to speed on adjusting machine software in the big battleground states where there are lots of contested races.

Thousands of precincts need to be processed, so Diebold needs a lot of technical bench strength.

They have to be sure the work can be done unobtrusively, and that the machines have clear communication with the mothership computers at Diebold headquarters.
