What a load of crap. The Ohio secretary of state (a democrat) changed the election laws to work in the dems favor, i.e., opening wide the door for voter fraud and election shenanigans.

Ohio Homeless Driven to Polls to Vote Obama

Tuesday, October 07, 2008

CLEVELAND — Volunteers supporting Barack Obama picked up hundreds of people at homeless shelters, soup kitchens and drug-rehab centers and drove them to a polling place yesterday on the last day that Ohioans could register and vote on the same day, almost no questions asked.

The huge effort by a pro-Obama group, Vote Today Ohio, takes advantage of a quirk in the state’s elections laws that allows people to register and cast ballots at the same time without having to prove residency.

Republicans have argued that the window could lead to widespread voter fraud because officials wouldn’t have an opportunity to verify registration information before ballots were cast.

Among the volunteers were Yori Stadlin and Vivian Lehrer of the Upper West Side, who got married last week and decided to spend their honeymoon shepherding voters to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections.

Early today, Stadlin’s van picked up William Woods, 59, at the soup kitchen of the Bishop Cosgrove Center.

“I never voted before,” Woods said, because of a felony conviction that previously barred him from the polls. “Without this service, I would have had no way to get here.”

Barney Frank, democrat, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, says the GOP is appealing to the racists who comprise its base by criticizing the dems’ handling of the housing crisis.

Articles like the one below are educational. I get to find out what congressional democrats really think of me and we get to see that the dems accept no responsibility for promoting policies which forced lending institutions to make home loans to folks who really couldn’t afford them.

So, let me see. Frank thinks I’m a racist. Based on Biden’s comments in the democrat debates, I’m not mentally qualified to own a gun, since I’m fond of my AR-15. Obama believes that I’m bitterly clinging to my religion and guns.

Yes, friends, these are definitely the folks I want in D.C. representing my interests. Someone has to protect me from myself, since I’m way too much of a neandertal to handle that on my own.

Frank says GOP housing attacks racially motivated

Frank: Bailout Law Not The Cause Of Dow Plunge

BOSTON (AP) – Rep. Barney Frank said Monday that Republican criticism of Democrats over the nation’s housing crisis is a veiled attack on the poor that’s racially motivated.

The Massachusetts Democrat, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said the GOP is appealing to its base by blaming the country’s mortgage foreclosure problem on efforts to expand affordable housing through the Community Reinvestment Act.

He said that blame is misplaced, because those loans are issued by regulated institutions, while far more foreclosures were triggered by high-cost loans made by unregulated entities.

“They get to take things out on poor people,” Frank said at a mortgage foreclosure symposium in Boston. “Let’s be honest: The fact that some of the poor people are black doesn’t hurt them either, from their standpoint. This is an effort, I believe, to appeal to a kind of anger in people.”

Frank also dismissed charges the Democrats failed on their own or blocked Republican efforts to rein in the mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The federal government recently took control of both entities.

House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio called Frank’s remarks “a lame, desperate attempt to divert Americans’ attention away from the Democratic party’s obstruction of reforms that would have reined in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and helped our nation avoid this economic crisis.”

“Congressman Frank should retract his ridiculous statements and start taking responsibility for the role he and other top Democrats played in putting Main Street Americans in this mess,” Boehner said.

Frank said Republicans controlled Congress for 12 years and passed no regulation, while Democrats passed a Bush administration Fannie and Freddie regulation package since gaining control of the House and Senate in January 1997.

“If I could have stopped a Republican bill during the Bush years, I would have started with the war in Iraq. Then I would have gone to the Patriot Act. Then I would have gone on to the hundreds of millions in tax cuts,” said Frank, to applause from the audience.

The longtime congressman is being challenged this fall by both Republican and independent candidates. He has been criticized in his liberal district for being one of the leaders of congressional efforts last week to win approval of a $700 billion Wall Street bailout plan.

Someone in McCain’s campaign told Sarah Palin to go get ’em. That’s all the prompting she needed.

Read paragraph eight first. The lead should be “Unrepentant Terrorist Hosts Event for Obama.” More unbiased coverage from the MSM.

Let’s face it, if you’re a conservative looking for a candidate in this election, you’re screwed.

McCain helped curtail some of our First Amendment rights with his campaign finance reform bill. He wants to shut down Gitmo. He thinks the rights of private citizens to sell firearms to each other should be infringed, i.e., closing the so-called gun show loophole. He derailed any possibility of the GOP prohibiting fillibusters of Supreme Court nominees in the Senate with his gang of 14. He was against the Bush tax cuts before he was for them. If elected president, he wants to work with Al Gore to reduce carbon emissions. He doesn’t want to drill in ANWAR for fear of bruising a caribou. He wants to spit in the face of people trying to gain legal citizenship in the US by granting amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.

In short, McCain is a liberal who is far more likely to attack members of his party than man up and point out democrats’ shortcomings.

Obama is a socialist with totalitarian leadings. These stories indicate that he would much rather shut down those who tell the truth than respond to their accusations http://www.newsmax.com/politics/Obama_Wants_NRA_Ads_Banne/2008/09/27/135118.html?s=al&promo_code=6BBA-1 http://www.kmov.com/video/index.html?nvid=285793&shu=1

Biden is a flaming liberal and a rabid anti-gunner. Let’s not forget this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkavwuWE5eQ&feature=related

The Libertarians support everyone’s individual right to do what they want, so long as no one else is harmed. This point of view does not include unborn babies, however. They can be ripped out of the womb and tossed in the trash if their moms feel like it.

The Constitution Party has a platform that most conservatives can get behind except for a weak stance on the war on terror. We can’t bury our heads in the sand and try to be isolationists in this day and age.

In short, Sarah Palin is the only candidate worth voting for and she has to tow McCain’s line. If she were at the top of the ticket, I would vote for her.

My dillweed republican congresscritter voted for the bail-out bill (both times). He was the only reason I was going to bother showing up at the polls.

Here’s to Palin and Jindal in 2012.

The kindly ladies on The View told John McCain that his ad depicting Obama as voting against the rights of abortion survivors was a crock of the purest malarkey. Here are the facts, get ’em while they’re hot.

When the condescending Charlie Gibson asked Sarah Palin, “Seventy percent of this country supports a ban on semi-automatic assault weapons. Do you?” she gave the wrong response.

While her answer that she did not agree with that sentiment was all well and good, here’s what she should have told her supercilious interviewer: “Actually, the term semi-automatic assault weapon is an oxymoron. In order for a gun to be an assault weapon, it has to be capable of fully-automatic fire, basically turning the weapon into a machine gun with the flick of a switch. These weapons are not readily available to the general public. Actually, the media has done the people a grave disservice by blurring the distinction between semi-automatic rifles such as the AR-15 and military versions of the weapon such as the M16 and M4. We would never send our troops into battle with rifles that only fire one shot with each pull of the trigger, like an AR-15 does. They would be at a distinct disadvantage.”

So long as we’re on the topic of higher taxes for “worthy causes,” let’s investigate what the founding fathers had to say about this.

In 1794, when Congress appropriated $15,000 for relief of French refugees who fled from insurrection in San Domingo to Baltimore and Philadelphia, James Madison stood on the floor of the House to object saying, “I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.”
-James Madison, 4 Annals of congress 179 (1794)

Here’s a good quote pertaining to punishing those who get big bonuses, “obscene profits,” etc.

“To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.”
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Joseph Milligan, April 6, 1816

And to those who say that we really not giving up that much of our money or conceding that much of our freedom:

“There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.”
-James Madison, speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 16, 1788

Those cold-hearted founders. What were they thinking?

This past Monday, Jason Lewis reminded me of a couple of socio-political truths that are worth a mention.

1. “Political freedom means the absence of coercion of a man by his fellow men,” – from Capitalism and Freedom by Milton Friedman. This is the kind of basic definition that seems obvious at first glance and but has a lot of implied meaning the longer you think about it. By this definition, the surge in Iraq has increased freedom in that country by permitting Iraqis to collaborate more freely with U.S. forces to suppress terrorism.

2. And what are our “rights” as Americans anyway? “The way our Constitution’s framers used the term, a right is something that exists simultaneously among people and imposes no obligation on another.” – Walter E. Williams. We have the right to freely cross state borders, speak freely about whomever we want whenever we want. We have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, so long as we aren’t depriving someone else of his/her own rights. However, don’t say anyone has a “right” to universal health care. The only way that “free” health care can be providing is by imposing the obligation of higher taxes on me to foot the bill. No, thanks. My first obligation is to me and mine. I need the $$ I make to keep a roof over my family’s head, buy groceries, put gas in the car, and maybe put some dollars back for my kids’ college days. I think the founding fathers knew better than to make the gov’t a nanny state, punishing those who make money to provide for those who don’t. I need to do more research into the matter, but I think the founders wanted private institutions and churches to provide for the poor. BTW, it’s illegal for a hospital to refuse emergency room care.

This is getting lengthy, so I’ll call it quits for now. The truth is out there. You just have to dig a little for it. But don’t take my word for it. Start digging.

An excerpt follows:

From The Times
July 25, 2008
He ventured forth to bring light to the world
The anointed one’s pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a miracle in action – and a blessing to all his faithful followers

by Gerard Baker

And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.

The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.

When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”

In the great Battles of Caucus and Primary he smote the conniving Hillary, wife of the deposed King Bill the Priapic and their barbarian hordes of Working Class Whites.
Background

And so it was, in the fullness of time, before the harvest month of the appointed year, the Child ventured forth – for the first time – to bring the light unto all the world

I can’t take it anymore. I have to vent or my head will explode.

Barack Obama is an idiot! A complete, slack-jawed goobersmooch! He doesn’t know anything that his handlers don’t feed him on a teleprompter. Not only that, he expects everyone else to be as stupid as he is.

Check out http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/07/22/eveningnews/main4283623.shtml?source=mostpop_story the Eye to Eye segment.

Obama will NOT under any circumstances admit that the surge has worked in greatly reducing the amount of violence (specifically U.S. casualties) in Iraq, in getting us that much closer to a point where we can get the bulk of our troops home. He says the extra troops have “helped” to reduce violence in Iraq, in conjunction with the unexpected cooperation of Muslim tribal leaders and al-Sadr’s militias standing down.

What does he think allows the tribal leaders to cooperate with the U.S. without worrying about getting their heads chopped off? It couldn’t be that they feel safer with several thousand additional American soldiers around, now could it? Why does he think the militias stood down? Were they having trouble blowing shit up without encountering the business end of an M4? Since they were having trouble bullying tribal leaders, was it not worth it getting shot or captured trying to plant an IED?

NO. OF COURSE NOT. THE MILITARY COULDN’T HAVE BEEN ANY PART OF THAT.

Obama expects people to believe that rays of pure white light shone from the sky and doves came down, whispering in angelic dulcet tones that the crazy terrorists must chill out and see reason. He wants people to believe that global warming has increased to such a point that the militias think it’s too hot to fight. He wants people to believe that the FORCE OBAMA, an extension of his personal destiny, prepared the way for his trip to the Middle East, so things could be calmer for his arrival.

Truth be known, he doesn’t want people to think on their own, just accept the jewels of knowledge that fall from his annointed lips.

Behold, the next president of the U.S.: Barack Hussein Obama.
