Elections norm

I came across this and i found it to be funny enough to make me smile today:)

Some cliches to use during election recount;
Every vote is precious.
Every vote is sacred.
Every vote must be counted.
Each vote is like a human voice.
We must determine the will of the people.
The voice of the voters must be heard.
The recount must be full, fair, and accurate.
Our democracy is at stake.
If we ignore votes, we ignore democracy.
We must do what's in the best interest of the country.
We must have a full recount for the good of the country.
We must follow the rule of law.
We don't want a fast result, we want an accurate result.
We can't disenfranchise the voters.
You can't change the rules in the middle of the game.
The votes have already been counted three times.
This election should not be decided in the courts.
They're trying to steal the election.

And I discovered another thing which rather funnier that make me grin today:D

Prior to Permatang Pauh by-election

Menurutnya, hasil laporan kempen BN yang diterimanya setiap malam yang dibuat sejak hari penamaan calon menunjukkan sokongan meningkat dari hari ke hari yang sehingga kini mencapai sekitar 40 hingga 50 peratus.

Kata beliau, semakin ramai pengundi atas pagar di kawasan hitam iaitu kawasan Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Penanti dan Permatang Pasir yang sebelum ini dikuasai oleh pembangkang mula memperlihatkan sokongan kepada BN.

“Saya yakin penduduk Permatang Pauh mahukan perubahan,” katanya ketika ditemui di rumahnya di Jalan Tenggiri di sini hari ini.

Post election

''Realitinya pengundi atas pagar masih gagal dipengaruhi. Ini dapat dilihat daripada majoriti yang dimenangi Anwar kali ini," katanya ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia di sini hari ini.

(said Prof. Datuk Dr. Zainal Kling, a political analyst. Grabbed from Utusan Malaysia 270808: "BN kurang pengaruh pengundi atas pagar')

Haha. What is so good about blowing out of proportion? and what is so wrong with honest reporting? Anyhow the truth will reveal itself.

Big time.
