Pretty much.

And this.

I always find it odd that conservatives simultaneously think that they are the majority AND that every institution/media outlet/message board/whatever is biased against them.

It must be tough to live in a world where everyone is out to get you.

I'm sure the calibration errors happen for many machines (as they are likely either programmed/set by a human)... I'm sure some machines changed D's to R's as well over the course of time. No big deal.

ROFL. You find things odd that are glaringly obvious to anyone not living with their head up their ass.

Sorry, I don't have a persecution complex, you arrogant asshole.

Agreed and as stated it would be painfully obvious to the person voting that the machine is messed up. If the machine wasn't calibrated correctly the touch screen would have been off for ALL the 'buttons'. Not just the R's. Since the guy who caught it was someone running for office it is safe to say he was probably one of the first in line that day and the first to use that machine.

I'm sure you do find it glaringly obvious that everything is biased against you. That's sort of my point.

Possibly, but we'll never know that for sure.

Exactly where did I say that is was? Damn you are dumb.

You're right. It's just the media, science, the international community, most institutions, and of course ATPN.

I'm sure that leaves something in the world that you don't believe is biased against conservatives, although what that would be is escaping me at the moment.

I have no idea what you are going on about now. Nowhere did I say anything about bias against conservatives. I never even brought up the subject or those institutions, you did. That's very telling.

I quoted two other posters and agreed with them. I didn't post anything else. Its also very telling that you fixated on my post given these facts.

But don't mind me, rage on, ass.

Um, eskimo said that conservatives think that every institution is biased against them.
You said quoting him that it was glaringly obvious clearly indicating the bias as what you meant.
Now you say you didn't say anything about bias against conservatives.
I don't know how to make it any clearer, but you're wrong.

No, I didn't. I said it was glaringly obvious what I posted. I even specifically stated that I didn't say what he said I said. He made a statement that made zero sense given what I said, especially considering that all I did was quote two previous posters.

But go ahead and tell me how his first statement has anything to do with my OP.

Never mind, keep taking things out of context, it will work out for you in the end. :rolleyes:

He took things in literally their entire context.

What you said was totally clear, I don't know why you're denying it.

Because there is this problem, called my OP, that had zero to do with what you posted. I don't know why you are denying that. Nor do I know why you fixated on a post of mine that quoted two other people, ergo I wasn't the OP of the idea to begin with.

In trying to call me out for something or some way of thinking you've actually managed to display more about yourself that you have about me. Good show.

You appear to be the only one raging here, please quit the projecting.
This a text book example of the hypocrisy you guys proudly wear like a badge. How is it you can tell someone to act appropriately then go right on to call them an arrogant asshole and an ass?

Almost as amusing as you proving his point and then insulting him.

You do realize it doesn't reflect badly on others when you egg yourself in the face, right?

One amusing thing is that every lefty is saying "It was only one machine!" When voting, you only get to vote on one machine, so that is the absolute maximum number of fraudulent machines one can possibly encounter. (Unless the replacement machine is also wrong, of course.) That said, I would think even a Democrat would catch it if the machine registers the wrong vote.

Well, even a Democrat outside of Florida anyway.

So you admit that people would catch the machines registering the wrong vote but then say we can't know how many machines it was because the guy reporting it only interacted with one.

Those two statements do not logically fit together unless you are arguing that everyone else noticed the wrong votes but just decided not to say anything.

So one voting machine having an error that is dealt with immediately is a huge problem? So what's your stance on the voter ID laws that are intended to (and provably do) disenfranchise approximately 10% of the voting population?

M1980 is gloating at the success of his troll thread in creating argument among the posters.

Sure they do. Pointing out that he can only observe one machine in no way implies that there are others. This is a news story only because this guy is a candidate; everyone else would simply assume that they had a malfunctioning machine, point it out, and vote on a different machine. A malfunctioning voting machine is not necessarily news in and of itself.

Nope. It's certainly sloppy, but not necessarily a problem of any magnitude beyond some embarrassment.

I have zero problem with voter ID laws; proving one's eligibility should precede exercising any such right. But nice attempt at dragging the topic around to your dog whistle.

You lack reading comprehension too. That sucks. Why am I not surprised though? :whiste:

An argument that is based on supposition that amounted to a side show rant. I still honestly don't know why I was singled out for quoting others. Oh well. :|
