Apparently facts bother you so you create a "defending Reagan" strawman. I notice you did not counter any facts I brought up.

No, Nixon did not initiate a recount. That is false. A candidate can't recount anything. That is done by the state.

Nixon's campaign staff urged him to pursue recounts and challenge the validity of Kennedy's victory in several states, especially in Illinois, Missouri and New Jersey, where large majorities in Catholic precincts handed Kennedy the election.[36] However, Nixon gave a speech three days after the election stating that he would not contest the election.

Now you will scream I am "defending Nixon". No, just trying to counter make it up as you go along posts.

Crowd of Democrats walk out while President Obama speaks [View all] 3rdwaydem Oct 2014 OP

Not this again Beaverhausen Oct 2014 #1

Already debunked, as of yesterday. madamesilverspurs Oct 2014 #2

Were you there? former9thward Oct 2014 #11

From the article YOU link to: KittyWampus Oct 2014 #13

You said the OP was debunked. former9thward Oct 2014 #15

The implication is that people unhappy w/Obama were leaving. NOT THE CASE. KittyWampus Oct 2014 #18

I am happy you can read their minds. former9thward Oct 2014 #19

But you can read articles and accounts that point to a large, enthusiastic crowd. KittyWampus Oct 2014 #22

I'm sure it was large and enthusiastic. former9thward Oct 2014 #31

Same reason you leave the game early, beat the crowd trying to get out of the parking lot snooper2 Oct 2014 #35

That poster attacks Dems, attacks Chicago, defends Reagan or sides with Israel. ieoeja Oct 2014 #75

Attacks Chicago? former9thward Oct 2014 #86

I generally support Israel as well. As I said, you are "old school Liberal" on that one topic. ieoeja Oct 2014 #109

Too easy ieoeja Oct 2014 #111

Everyone of those posts I inserted actual facts into the discussion former9thward Oct 2014 #118

Republicans requested a recount which Illinois granted. But they had to pay for it. ieoeja Oct 2014 #123

Look at the footnote and read the article. former9thward Oct 2014 #131

Yes, Israel does kick ass so to speak 3rdwaydem Oct 2014 #136

his bias is intransigent and he is unwilling to perceive views outside that same bias. LanternWaste Oct 2014 #120

He just edited an excerpt to defend Nixon to prove that he does not defend Republicans. ieoeja Oct 2014 #124

To get a jump on traffic, perhaps? Tarheel_Dem Oct 2014 #71
