Now Franken Wants To Ignore The Voters
Jan 13, 2009 Political
When Democrats are losing then every vote must count. When the race is close, every vote must count and they always vow not to stop until every last vote is tallied so that the will of the people will not be ignored. They maintain that position until the Democratic candidate takes a lead and then they want the counting stopped, certificates signed, and everyone to go home.
This is what Al Franken is up to. The recount in Minnesota was automatically triggered because of the margin of Norm Coleman’s victory. Then all kinds of hanky panky started. Franken demanded that rejected absentee ballots be counted if they were rejected erroneously. But, not in areas where Coleman would have an advantage. The Wall Street Journal listed about a dozen hinky things that took place and others have pointed out how it is nearly impossible for one candidate to benefit at such a high rate. Top this off with votes that were “found” and there is a problem. Democrats are good at stealing elections. They tried in 2000 and many of the tactics used by Franken were used by Gore in Florida. The donks have just gotten better after honing their skills in Washington state by pulling the same shenanigans.
A recount is supposed to count the ballots cast on election day. It is not a chance to add more that were “found” or to argue over rejected ballots. If the race had been won (by either candidate) by a large margin then neither of the candidates would have worried about the votes. They were rejected for whatever reason which means they were not counted. Recount means to count again so if they were never counted, how can they be counted again?
Franken is not content with what is now taking place. That would be Coleman’s attempt to ensure that all votes really are counted and that they are counted only once. Coleman, exercising his right, has filed suit in court challenging the results based upon the irregularities in the recount. He would like some explanation as to how certain places registered more votes than the number of people who showed up to vote. It is little things like that which tweaks Coleman and his legal team.
Franken started out wanting every vote to count but now that he and his buddies have cheated enough to give him the lead, and he has been declared the winner, he wants to stop. Coleman had seven days to file his suit contesting the recount and he did just that. Minnesota law says that a certificate cannot be issued until the matter, including the court challenges, are resolved. Franken does not like that idea and he wants to have a signed certificate so he can get to DC and do the people’s business. He said that it is not right the state is only represented by one Senator with so much important stuff going on.
Is there anyone who believes that Franken would feel this way if Coleman had 200 more votes and was declared the winner? Franken would not care about there only being one Senator and he would be challenging the results as well as saying “hell no” to giving Coleman a signed certificate.
Franken needs that certificate before the court gets a chance to look into things. Once he is seated the court would be reluctant to say that things were wrong and he needed to come home. If he is not certified the court can more objectively look into the matter and see where the misdeeds were done. Franken does not want to get caught up in that.
Remember, these are Democrats, they have no spine. This is particularly true for Franken who is a twit that likes to attack people and talk tough. But, he is from that group of people that knows how to steal elections. All votes must count unless they are votes for the Republican. If it is in any way shape or form a vote for a Republican it must be lost, stolen, challenged or otherwise not counted. But all votes must count for Democrats. This is the group that routinely disenfranchises the military. They are always trying to discount the votes of the men and women who protect that very right.
However, they will go to great lengths to ensure convicted felons, illegal aliens, and other people not so entitled, get to vote. The Democratic party is such strong advocates of voting that they even ensure the non living get to vote. Yep, there are lots and lots of dead voters on the Democratic rolls. What most Americans call obituaries, Democrats call voter rolls.
ACORN, George Soros, and the culture of corruption have combined to steal this victory for Franken and he wants to get out of town before things get hot.
Funny how they always talk about the rule of law and all votes counting but then they want to ignore the rule of law when it opposes them. Reid wanted to seat Franken and Franken wants the signed certificate even though obtaining it would violate state law (Franken asserts that federal law trumps the state but I don’t think so in this case).
In any event, the governor has denied Franken’s request to usurp the law and now it is Franken who might sue to get the certificate. Why should he worry about the law when he broke it to win?
It is a mess in Minnesota and the only fair way to sort it out would be to hold another election. Since it is a fair way the Democrats would never go for it.
I really hate that guy but I am sure he will end up winning. I only hope he is as good a Senator as he was a comedian. In that case he will suck very badly. The people of Minnesota deserve that for almost electing him and the Democrats in the Senate deserve the jackass for supporting him.

Liberals Miss The Point On Blago-Obama
Dec 20, 2008 Political
The liberals who supported the Messiah, Barack Obama, have completely missed the point on his connection to corrupt Governor Blagojevich. The left continues to harp on the “fact” that Obama had nothing to do with what was going on and that it was a shock to the Sainted One. Perhaps this is true though I find it hard to believe that Obama sailed through Illinois politics unscathed and untouched by the turds floating in that sewer system. But, for the sake of argument, let us suppose that Obama is clean.
The Blago issue has brought to light much more important issues than if Obama has been tainted by Illinois corruption. This entire episode has demonstrated that, contrary to his claim of change, Obama is nothing more than a typical politician. His claims of transparency are now null and void as he has lied to America and he has not been transparent. Couple this with the possibility that he was tipped off about the Blago wiretaps (which allowed Valerie Jarrett to conveniently drop out) and we can see that Obama is politics as usual.
When Barack Hussein Obama had the chance to be straight with the American public he decided to lie. Now, this is nothing new to those of us who have not taken a drink of his Kool Aid. He has lied about any number of things and he is covering something up with regard to his birth. But, when the Blago story broke, America had a chance to see the true Obama. He said that no one in his camp had anything to do with it, that no one had been in contact with Blago and that he was shocked at what was taking place.
It turns out that Obama had contact through Rahm Emanuel and that Emanuel was pushing for Jarrett to be given the Senate seat by a certain date. Emanuel was recorded about 21 times conversing with the governor and his aides. From reports about the conversations it appears as if Emanuel was the messenger for Obama who wanted Jarrett to get his seat. This all shows that Obama lied when he said that neither he nor his folks had any contact with Blago or his people. He later amended this to indicate that no “inappropriate” contact had taken place.
This episode only shows that Obama is nothing more than a typical politician who will lie when it is convenient and then change that lie when evidence shows that he is being untruthful. He is not the change we need because nothing has changed.
Not to worry though, Obama has conducted an internal review and concluded that all is fine, above board, and legal. Suppose the Big Three auto makers went to DC and said they had conducted an internal review and that all was well they just needed money. Do you think Obama would be happy with that? Maybe the next time someone is accused of a crime he can tell the judge that he conducted an internal review and no wrong doing occurred. I am sure this will be OK.
The shine is wearing off Obama very rapidly. He is not in office yet and has a mini scandal to deal with. He handled it poorly because he thought that he could do as he has all along and just bamboozle the media and his followers and it would all go away. There are those who are still in the dark and it is unlikely that they will ever change their minds about the Sainted One.
This is why the liberals miss the point.

Now That He’s Elected They Will Cover Scandals
Dec 14, 2008 Political
All during the campaign, from the primaries to the general election, Barack Obama was plagued with one scandal after another. The issues were legitimate and they were worthy of mention but they were dismissed by the left and its media wing as nothing. The idiots at the Daily Kos and assorted other Democratic mouthpieces, the very same groups who see scandal every time George Bush passes gas, remained silent or attributed the revelations to a right wing smear job. Of course, most of the “smear” came from Democrats during their primary.
Now that the media have ensured that Obama was elected they are now free to investigate scandals and they are, to their own amazement, finding that Obama had questionable associations. Imagine that? The governor of Illinois has been arrested in a scandal that might have long reaching arms and involve Jesse Jackson Jr as well as various members of Obama’s dream team and the media are suddenly interested in particulars (but not too many).
Rahm Emanuel is one such member and things are looking bleak for him. The so called heavy weight with the foul mouth and the mean temper has been reduced to hiding in his home and sneaking out to work because he is likely smack dab in the middle of the corruption.
When the story about Governor Blagojevich broke Barack Obama expressed his surprise and disappointment and indicated that this was the first that he had heard of the pay for play scheme. He assured us that none of his people were involved in the “sale” of his Senate seat. Looks like Obama might have been a bit premature in his assessment because it is now reported that Emanuel was recorded discussing the Senate seat.
As of now there is no indication that he was involved in any of the illegal activities. The recording of him has not been released so we don’t know what was discussed but we do know that the fact he was discussing the matter is contrary to what Obama said about the issue. Obama’s statement that he had not spoken or met with the governor has also been shown to be false because there are pictures of the two together.
Obama and his team are in the middle of a scandal and they have circled the wagons. They are not discussing much, if anything at all, with the media. The man who would bring transparency to government has closed ranks and is anything but transparent. Obama has also shown that he is not above politics as usual and that his rhetoric about reforming DC was nothing more than campaign promises he never intended to keep. How could he bring a new brand of politics when he is a Chicago politician and, as seen in the Blagojevich scandal, there is nothing new or clean bout that?
Perhaps Obama should have made Hillary Clinton his Chief of Staff. She has many years experience covering up scandals. Obama is a babe in the woods when compared to the Clintons.
Then again, it was the Clinton kind of politics that Obama promised to get rid of.
What a difference an election makes
Prior to the election Obama could murder babies in Times Square and the media would ignore it. They would rationalize his acts and the Daily Kos would attribute it to a Right Wing Conspiracy and blame it on Bush.
Well moonbats, Bush had nothing to do with this. All the scandal, all the attention, and all the dirt is on your guy. George Bush had nothing to do with it though I bet he is getting a bit of a chuckle out of seeing the anointed One get the third degree.
Bush probably finds some humor in the fact that when the Plame issue was being investigated the left was in full attack mode and convicting people before they ever had a trial. Despite his insistence that he was not aware of what had taken place and who “leaked” Plame’s so called secret identity, he was branded a liar. The left was calling for investigations day after day and Bush’s people were the object of ridicule.
Now, one of Obama’s people (at least) is right in the thick of an investigation and the left is not calling for him to be frog marched out in chains. They are not calling Obama a liar because he denied knowledge and they are defending him. Why, he is a victim here. Someone did something to make him look bad or bring discredit upon him. He is getting consideration that George Bush never got.
Did Obama know anything? Who knows? However, he came from the crooked politics of Illinois and he has used questionable tactics and had questionable associations in the past so it is not beyond reason that he is involved.
However, given Obama’s past, it is likely that he sent surrogates to do the dirty work so he could stay “clean” should the deification hit the cooling device.
How long will it be before Rahm Emanuel joins the many others located under the bus?
Regardless of what happens, this scandal will no doubt haunt and hinder Obama for some time to come.
Maybe if it gets bad enough he will show that Birth Certificate so that he does not have to take office…

Obama Illegitimate Until He Proves Otherwise
Dec 7, 2008 Political
There has been an issue with Barack Obama since well before the general election and that is, is he qualified to serve as president? This issue does not deal with his skill to hold the job (in that case he is definitely unqualified), no in this instance it deals with his qualification under the Constitution. Is Barack Obama a natural born citizen as required by our Constitution or has the biggest con game in America been perpetrated by the man who wants to move us to Socialism and his henchmen in the DNC?
Before we go any further let’s dispense with the fraud that his supporters will undoubtedly bring to light. No you morons, Obama did not provide a copy of his birth certificate and his BIRTH CERTIFICATE was not verified by anyone. A Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) was released. It was verified as real, big deal. A COLB is just proof that a birth is registered in Hawaii, not that the bearer was actually born there. Hawaii allowed foreign births to be registered up until the mid 1970s and it is possible that the reason Obama has not released the vault copy of his BIRTH CERTIFICATE is because he was not born in the US. For you moonbats who insist that this is a closed issue because The One has demonstrated his US birth, you are delusional and your argument lacks credibility. The COLB is not, nor will it be, a valid proof of citizenship.
At issue here is whether Barack Obama is a natural born citizen of the US. There are many indicators that he is not and thus not qualified to serve as president. Two years ago, Sarah Herlihy, who has ties to Obama, wrote this:
The natural born citizen requirement in Article II of the United States Constitution has been called the “stupidest provision” in the Constitution, “undecidedly un-American,” “blatantly discriminatory,” and the “Constitution’s worst provision.” Since Arnold Schwarzenegger’s victory in the California gubernatorial recall election of 2003, commentators and policy-makers have once again started to discuss whether Article II of the United States Constitution should be amended to render naturalized citizens eligible for the presidency. Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution defines the eligibility requirements for an individual to become president. Article II provides:
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Although these sixty-two words are far from extraordinary, the natural born citizen provision is controversial because it prevents over 12.8 million Americans from being eligible for the presidency. Source
Does anyone on this planet think she actually had any concern for Arnold Schwarzenegger? Does anyone really think her concern was for poor Arnie or was she laying the groundwork for the future of the Lightworker? Admittedly, this piece does not mean Obama is not natural born, it is just one piece of an interesting puzzle.
Obama’s grandmother in Kenya says that she was at the bedside when he was born. She has stated this a number of times and she has not changed her story. The media pay little attention to this but she has said it more than once. The people in Kenya have stated they are having celebrations in Obama’s birthplace (and it is not in Hawaii).
Obama’s travels as a youth and young man tend to indicate that he was not an American citizen because he went to places Americans were not allowed to go. If he had an American passport he would not have been allowed to enter. If he had any other passport he is not natural born because he would have given up his American citizenship because the US did not recognize dual citizenship with these countries because they would not recognize them.
Obama has refused to release his college records. Those records could very easily demonstrate that he was registered as a citizen of another country. Of course they could show that he was registered as an American though one would think that he would release anything that helps prove his claim. Perhaps he was registered as a Muslim and he does not want people to know that because he said he was never a Muslim (and the media gave him a pass on that lie).
No hospital on Oahu claims to have had Obama or his mother as patients. I realize that calling hospitals for information is a shot in the dark and what you get might not be accurate because of confidentiality but Obama and his sister said he was born there and they named different hospitals. Both of those facilities claim that Obama and Obama-momma were not there. Once again, this is the least reliable because people are asking about events from nearly 50 years ago. Do we expect the hospitals to be able to find old paper records now? That is what birth certificates are for.
And therein lies the issue. The easiest thing that Obama could do to clear the issue up is to release his vault copy birth certificate. It would cost about $10 to get it and I am willing to bet that Hawaii would wave the fee for Obama. Instead, Obama has spent untold amounts of money to keep his birth certificate under lock and key. His records in Kenya, where one reporter alleges to have seen a Kenyan birth certificate, have been locked up tight. In Hawaii, whatever documents the state has on the Messiah are locked away as well.
I am not convinced that Obama is qualified under our Constitution to be president. I realize that there are those who will claim that this is sour grapes because he won but this is not accurate. This issue has been out there since he was still slugging it out with Hillary. It has been ignored by the media and the public. I readily admit that I did not want Obama as the president but he won. If he is qualified then good for him and bad for America. However, he has failed to demonstrate his qualification. I don’t care how many of his buddies think the Constitutional requirements are stupid, the fact is they are the law and they apply to Obama just like they do everyone else.
I realize that Democrats believe that our Constitution is one of convenience. If they want something they will jump all over the issue of the Constitution but if they do not agree with something they will say it is living and that it is subject to interpretation. The fact is, it is not a living document and it says what it does for a reason and it is our duty as citizens to ensure it is followed by the lawmakers who work for us.
This is my entire issue. I don’t care if it is Obama or Ronald Reagan, if they fail to demonstrate they are Constitutionally qualified then they should not hold the office. Unfortunately, there are many who think we have bigger fish to fry. This, to them, is not a big deal. None of the news networks are interested in covering this. Where are Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh and all the other voices of conservatism? Have they begun practicing for the imposition of the fairness doctrine? Of course, I imagine if Obama’s birth certificate is revealed and it shows him unqualified these entities will be all over the airwaves telling us how they were on top of it. Bill O’Reilly, who is silent on the issue, would tell us he caused it to happen and that he is looking out for us….
As it stands right now, the issue will be up to the courts ruling on any number of the lawsuits filed challenging Obama’s status.
I predict the Supreme Court will take a pass on the issue. The Court lacks the testicular fortitude to do the right thing no matter how hard it is. Some of them will worry about riots if they rule The One unqualified and others will worry that they looked partisan and had agendas. They will worry that they will be viewed in a bad light when in reality they will only be doing their job under the very Constitution that they have sworn to uphold.
If this issue is not important enough to pursue then we lose standing. In the future, how can we expect the courts to take us seriously when we have an issue with them in regard to the Constitution? What happens to our standing in the future when they make some rule denying free speech or taking guns away or if they require people to perform so many hours of (non punitive) community service without recompense? All these would violate the Constitution but if we allow them to dictate the terms on which items are challenged then we will certainly lose standing and in the not too distant future our founding documents will be little more than words on paper.
Those who fear riots are cowards. The people who wrote our Constitution knew they would be at war when they signed it and they did so anyway. Those who allow fear to decide their protection of our Constitution dishonor the men and women who have spilled blood protecting it and those it governs since our country was formed.
If Obama fails to actually be transparent like he swore he would when he was pandering for votes then his legitimacy will remain in question. If he cannot obey the law then why should the rest of us obey anything he and his Congress comes up with? Screw them. They have no regard for the law so why should the rest of us worry about anything they put forward. Until Obama proves he is qualified to be president, anything he signs is not legitimate.
It is amazing that in 2000 when George Bush won the lawsuit that Al Gore filed, the left went bonkers and called Bush the Illegitimate President. Now, eight years later, they have their own guy who might actually be illegitimate and they are ignoring it.
I said before that if he won he would be my president but he will not be my president until he proves that he is qualified under the rules contained in the document he will swear to uphold. Until Obama proves he meets the criteria then he is illegitimate.
Barry, spend the $10 and put this issue to rest.

A Short Round Up
Dec 2, 2008 Political
The City Of Brotherly Love
A worker at a K Mart was shot by the angry boyfriend of a fellow worker and is in critical condition. A man and a female employee were arguing at the store and when the other employee intervened he was shot. Some people are animals and should be locked away or exterminated. But, I must say that it does not surprise me that it happened in Philly. This is the place where people were intimidated at polling places on election day by a couple of Black Panthers, one of whom was carrying a night stick. My Way News
Fred Thompson Has A New Video Out On The Economy
Fred Thompson has a great video out that explains the economic situation and how we got here as well as the “plan” for fixing it. He says that we are being told to do more of what got us into trouble and equates it to telling a fat man that in order to lose weight he has to eat more doughnuts. You can see it at Fred Thompson PAC.
Harry Reid Does Not Like to Smell The Commoners
The New Capitol Visitor’s Center opened way off schedule and way, way, way over budget (gee, government over budget, who would of thought?). The area will allow people to wait inside while awaiting a tour of the building. Harry Reid is happy with the center because now he won’t have to be bothered with all the smelly tourists, you know, the people who pay his salary and who he is supposed to work for. Harry said that in the Summer when people are waiting outside they get all smelly and then when they come in he can smell them. The government spent $621 billion so that Harry Reid would not have to be bothered with the smell of the peasants. DC Examiner
Bill Clinton To Fill Hillary’s Seat?
If Hillary Clinton is confirmed as Secretary of State (she will be confirmed but I hope they ask her really tough questions about her past and she gets treated like she treated Bush nominees) then the Governor of New York will have to appoint someone to take her Senate seat until the next election (in 2 years). There are plenty of names in the hat but Governor David Paterson needs to be careful that he does not crack fragile egos when he makes the selection. There are a lot of people who want that seat and his selection will tick all but one of them off. He might just select Bill Clinton to fill the vacancy. None of the others can say they have more experience than a past president (maybe as much as). I am not sure Bill would want it because it would keep him tied to DC. He likes to jet around the world and spread his seeds of Hope across the world. He might take it though because the Clintons have never really worked in private industry (if you count what they did as experience then it was very little) and they always want a government job. They are part of the elite. Right now I am sure Chelsea is boning up on all she needs to know to run for some office so that she can get her gubmint job. Why not, she already helped screw up the financial world. If he does get it, it will probably be the first time Bill filled Hillary’s seat since Monica…CNN
