And if it's true, Why isn't it on every news channel?

Military Absentee Ballots Delivered One Day Late, Would Have Swung Election For Romney

WASHINGTON, DC – Sources confirmed today that hundreds of thousands of military absentee ballots were delivered hours after the deadline for them to be counted, with preliminary counts showing that they would have overturned the vote in several states and brought a victory for Governor Mitt Romney.
Officials say the ballots were delivered late due to problems within the military mail system. Tracking invoices show the ballots sat in a warehouse for a month, then they were accidentally labeled as ammunition and shipped to Afghanistan. At Camp Dwyer, Marine Sergeant John Davis signed for them and was surprised at the contents.
“I told Gunny we got a bunch of ballots instead of ammo,” Davis told investigators earlier today. “He told me to file a report of improper delivery and that the chain of command would take care of it. We didn’t hear anything for three weeks. While we were waiting we came under fire so we dumped a bunch of them in the Hescoes. We didn’t dig those ones back out.”
After military officials realized the initial error, the ballots were then sent back to the U.S. but suffered a series of setbacks.
Twelve boxes of ballots were dropped overboard during delivery to the USS Kearsarge (LHD-3) in the Persian Gulf, then while the ship sailed to Bahrain, postal clerks allegedly pocketed whatever ballots they wanted.
The remaining absentee ballots were loaded onto a C-130, but the flight was delayed until November 1st so the crew could get tax free pay for the month. Once the ballots arrived stateside they were promptly mailed to each state’s counting facility, reaching their final destination on November 7th.
“It’s a shame,” Rear Admiral John Dawes said when asked for comment. “I expected a delay so I ordered that everyone cast their votes eight months ago. It’s really unfortunate that our mail system failed us and directly affected the course of history.”
Upon hearing the news, angry Republicans have begun a demand for a recount, but most military absentee voters have shrugged off the news, with many wondering whether the care packages their families sent six months ago were ever going to show up.

This is a satire web site. They post BS stories for fun

It doesn't just happen on the right. How many women were convinced that Romney was going to outlaw tampons after a satire site posted a story on it?

OK I have to Post some of the Comments. Try to guess which one is R8ers:

Donna DeMartino ,i'd just like to add that i don't feel that americans have failed him,it's the pretender muslim in chief and his wannabe minions that failed him,you,me and everyone else in this land striving for peace ,liberty and common sense.there's been none for 4 years,and it'll be another 4 if things go as the pretender would like.

Patty, you are in lala land. The country is going to be ran in the ground. If you don't mind, I don't fancy standing behind usurpers and traitors as they destroy my country. I wouldn't a care if every one of them were shot dead tommorrow. Give it a couple of years and you won't be so accomodating either.

WHY BECAUSE IT INCRIMINATES YOUR BUDDY OBAMA.. HE IS A LIAR AND A CHEAT.. HE NEEDS TO BE PUT IN JAIL

Oh, and you are SO much SMARTER than everyone else huh? NEWSFLASH..IT IS NOT FUNNY! Military votes WERE SUPPRESSED asshole!

Yeah..that's what y'all like to think.....*l* Time will tell WHO is the idiot....and I bet it isn't me...When you can't pay for anything...or find a job....or feed yourself.....THEN I will tell you who the IDIOT is.....

...a recount IS needed....I saw NEWS reports of FRAUD all day yesterday....but what do you care? BTW....Now remember folks!....People on the left should not be complaining about high gasoline prices; High Energy Bills; Higher Taxes; High Unemployment; Inflation; National Debt; Lousy Foreign Policy; Border Security; Health Care fines; Regulations; etc. etc. They bought it all hook line and sinker.

These looters will be the one demanding government hand outs when the US Treasury is broke. When the government runs out of money to feed them, they will come to your house and take what they want from your cabinets, even while YOUR children are hungry. Looters and parasites, the whole lot of them.

Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable! Felons, dead people, welfare recipients and every day citizens can all vote, but our Military cannot! Whether it changed the outcome or not, these brave men and women deserve to vote! There is NO reason why they voted 8 months ago, and their voices were not heard. This is despicable and makes me sick to my stomach. I am a proud Air Force mom, and demand that the people fighting for our freedoms everyday and sacrificing their lives be heard!

I hate to say it but I think Obama did steal the election. he has a history of that (ie.. Acorn) And now using the military by not counting their voice.. he stole it! A petition should be made to each state to recount every single vote as well as count every single vote of a Military personel that is not stateside! Shoot they took i belive it was a month to recount when bush got his 2nd term! Do it again!

How many still think Palin said she can see Russia from her house when it was Tina Fey doing an impersonation of her that said it? That one went on for years.

Her initial statements were satire fodder, probably unfairly...most politicians say some stupid crap or at least something that can be skewed easily. That didn't bother me, but when she doubled down on it in a later interview that scared the crap out of me.

The libs love snopes so why can't I??? Sorry I had to check the actual statement she made on ABC.

The context she used to answer the question was ridiculous though.

Clicking on the about section of that site is gold.

Some mother****ers simply don't care what goes in one ear and out the other as long as it supports their bullshit perspective.
