Michigan Dem Party Officials Charged for Fake Tea Party Election Scheme
— Gabriel Malor

Most people think that messing with elections is a big deal:

Two former leaders of the Oakland County Democratic Party are facing a total of nine felonies for allegedly forging election paperwork to get fake Tea Party candidates on NovemberÂ’s ballot.

“It is not a partisan statement, and we need to make that very clear,” said Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper.

Former Oakland County Democratic Chair Mike McGuinness and former Democratic Operations DirectorJason Bauer face up to 14 years in prison if convicted.

“Some of the people didn’t even know they were on the ballot till they began receiving delinquency notices of filings that were required as a candidate,” said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard.

The crimes include false swearing, perjury, and forging records. The investigation is ongoing and will likely extend to other Michigan counties.

Note: the press and some bloggers are carefully reporting that these men are former Democratic officials, which I suppose is technically true now. They are former party operatives at this moment. But they were both official representatives of the Democratic Party at the time they set up their fake Tea Party scheme. They only quit their party posts after their crimes were discovered.

It's a little thing, but Democrats shouldn't be allowed to distance themselves from this even a little bit. Don't think for a minute that the Democrats didn't greet the creation of fake Tea Party candidates with indecent glee and hope that the frauds would sway elections.

Thanks to Doug M.

13 Blogger McGuinness named chair of Oakland Co. Dems
12.14.08

Oakland County Democratic Party Chair Dave Woodward stepped down unexpectedly last week, leaving Mike McGuinness, former officer-at-large for the county party, to take his place.

McGuinness is a 23-year-old progressive blogger who managed former state Rep. Andy MeisnerÂ’s successful campaign against GOP incumbent Patrick M. Dohany for Oakland Country treasurer in the November election. He also managed Mark SlavenÂ’s campaign for state Senate in 2006 and has been heavily active in local political circles.

Before that, McGuinness was president of Oakland UniversityÂ’s 17,000-person student body. He resigned and left school during his second term as president to work for the Democratic Party.

McGuiness said he doesn’t think his age or experience is an issue. “I respect anyone who would have reservations,” he said. “Regardless of age, I am a veteran of the Democratic Party and proven leader.”

22 Democratic Representative calls for the end of public financing of elections

REP. JIM McGOVERN (D-MA) at a House committee hearing to end federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) -- as prepared: "Over the past several years, it has become clear that the Fox News channel is wildly biased. They continue to employ a talk show host who called President Obama a racist. They continue to employ several prospective Republican Presidential candidates as “analysts,” giving them hours and hours of free air time. And their parent company has donated millions to GOP-linked groups.

My amendment would prohibit federal funds – taxpayer dollars – from being used for advertising on the partisan, political platform of Fox News."

I'm sure that this is just a dirty trick being employed by the Tea Party.  Obviously, McGinnis and Bauaer enjoy a friendly competition and were just trying to reach a hand across the aisle in a gesture of bipartisan good will in helping these candidates with their campaigns.  Now all of a sudden, these people suddenly "didn't even know" they were on the ballot are lying sacks of crap tea. 

You wingers are complete idiots, and how absolutely vile for you to cheer as the lives of these two promising young men are destroyed.  Shame on all you bitter clinging bitchez!

39 47 Didn't they try to run fake tea people in a couple of other  states?

Yes.

According to a story just reported today by Fox News, Tea Party activists in New Jersey, Michigan, California, Florida and other states are suddenly seeing registered “Tea Party” independent candidates appear on the ballot and they don’t know these candidates. As they dig into the information available on public records (donations, nominating signatures, etc.) they are finding Democrat ties to these fake Tea Party candidates. Aside from challenges over just who can use the label Tea Party on the ballot, there appears little that can be done legally to stop these fake candidates.

This is probably just the tip of the iceberg.

Time to burn them with their own fire.  'Fake' candidates have to comply with all the same onerous state and federal election laws designed to keep you little people from running for office, and it's not a trivial burden.  The crooks responsible for putting the fake candidates on the ballot almost certainly didn't do all that chicken shit bullshit paperwork and would have violated many laws, some felonies, as a result.

As the article states: "It's not illegal to be a non-serious candidate. That's not what's being alleged here." What these assholes in Michigan appear to done wrong was sign up real people to be fake candidates without their knowledge. BTW, how is Willow looking these days?

Honestly in this state it is taught in public schools that Republicans eat babies and Democrats are so fucking smart how could anyone vote for teh stoopeed Rethuglicans! Hell they have newspapers declaring the GOP's/Teaparty's war on women, despite most of the new politicians in the GOP/Teaparty being WOMEN. Whenever a politician is caught with a live boy, a dead girl in the trunk, cash bribes in their undergarments, on video taking a bribe, and getting special treatment from the police during a potential arrest, suddenly their political affiliation is lost... THEY MUST BE REPUBLICANS or THAT DAMN FAUX NEWS IS FRAMING THEM111!!!!! There was a panel on TV saying the FBI must have lied in Kennedy reports, there's no way he could have rented a brothel and met with communists, he was a 'saint'! Weapons grade stupidity on display.

Oh, by the way, while Leon is busy retrofitting your asshole to 128 ring-gauge size in your cozy cell built for two, why don't you ruminate on this: false-flag operations require your own agents. If you would have signed up your own friend as a Tea Party candidate, it would have been perfectly legal. There might have been some civil action over use of the name, but your purpose would have been served - to ice whatever Tea Party candidacy might have arisen by fucking up the already delicate cognitive processes of your average "independent." Details, Mike. It's always the little things that end up getting your poo stabbed while you cry into a thin prison mattress. But just think of the experience you'll gain!

Obama seeks U.N. nod for strikes in Libya: Report
The Obama administration is seeking a United Nations resolution that would permit a broad range of military strikes by member states against Libyan forces controlled by Col. Moammar Gadhafi who are attacking rebels in the eastern part of the country, according to a published report. The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that the administration is arguing that proposed so-called "no-fly zones" would not be sufficient to protect rebels from government forces. The paper, citing unnamed officials, said that the administration does not plan to send any ground troops to Libya and wants any military action to be a joint, U.N.-sponsored project.

90 The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that the administration is arguing that proposed so-called "no-fly zones" would not be sufficient to protect rebels from government forces.

93 #95  As Beck just asked, Why now?  How does this help Obama (and you know they think it will)

Its too little, too late.  They belatedly think this gesture will help Obama gain some traction against the "all hat, no cattle" Sissypants image.  It wont. 

The time for tough talk and action was 2 weeks ago when the rebels were at the apex of their push against Ghaddafi.

The Obama administration is seeking a United Nations resolution that would permit a broad range of military strikes by member states against Libyan forces controlled by Col. Moammar Gadhafi who are attacking rebels in the eastern part of the country, according to a published report.

Why now?  Because everyone's been all up in his grill about how Obama has to "do something" about Libya, so he's "doing something."  It's a completely useless gesture since the United Nations would need to pass a half dozen resolutions just to agree on the color of an orange.

Something doesn't seem right here. First, they're suppost to accuse the Republicans of doing this. Then, after everybody dismisses them and their silly claims, they can engage in this.

104 What foreign revolutionarys absolutely have to understand is that the personality of America is the personality of whoever is President. If you have a staunch conservative, you may well get some help in your struggle. If there is a Democrat in the White House, and you start some shit, you are on your own. No white horse is gonna ride up with guns, ammo, rockets, and fighter jets. Trying to oust your dictator with his cock in Zero's mouth is a dimishing returns proposition, unless you are stronger than your dictator.

106 "As Beck just asked, Why now? How does this help Obama (and you know they think it will)" Fast forward into next year's campaign season, and picture this preempt-regular-programming address in the aftermath of the first terrorist attack against US interests traceable back to Kadaffy: "Let me be clear. My administration took strong action against Kadaffy, proposing the deployment of ground troops necessary in support of stopping the inhumane slaughter of his own people. "Blah, blah, blah. . . "We did this in the face of strong opposition by Republican leaders. . . "The chickens have come home to roost." The kinds of idiots who support Princess Barack are as ignorant of simple stuff like timelines as the shitstain, himself, is about stuff like numbers. Committing ground troops now is pretty much out of the question because of our lack of political will, the danger of further destabilizing the entire region, the sufficiency of no-fly coverage had it been applied in time, and the fact that it's all over but the crying. Somebody from the Republican side will have to say so, and that somebody is going to be the shitstain's doorway into scapegoating the GOP. When it comes to democrats, assume that anything they do is being done in furtherance of the worst venality you can imagine. If you do that, it all starts to make sense.

If he wanted Daffy out of power with a minimum of US effort and no risk to US lives, he shouldn't have blocked Daffy's escape flights (it was reported when the rebellion was at its peak, but glossed over). When Daffy and his family had nowhere to run, they had no choice but to fight.

Then, JugEars could have easily done what the Gipper had done to the Achille Lauro terrorists and intercepted the plane and he would even have been praised by conservatives, had he done so.

The only thing I would have added in the long litany of stuff listed was that Obama didn't just fill out a bracket for the men, he also did one for the women!  (I don't remember him doing that last year).  It's a pandering to the feminists move.

Stars and Stripes (www stripes dot com):

YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan — The U.S. military began voluntary evacuations Thursday at four military bases in Japan following increasing worries over nuclear reactors damaged in the country’s largest recorded earthquake.

The Navy said Thursday afternoon it would start evacuating families from Naval Air Facility Atsugi and Yokosuka Naval Base, near Tokyo. A few hours later, officials at Misawa Air Base, in northern Japan, did the same. Camp Zama, a U.S. Army facility near Tokyo, said it was allowing families and non-essential workers to voluntarily leave.

180 Thanks to Doug M.

What's it take to get some recognition around here?  I posted this exact link on the morning open! lol

But seriously, this deserves a thread.  Not because it happened, because after all it's democrats and therefore malfeasance isn't really news, but rather because they got caught and prosecuted for their malfeasance.

Whee!

Stars and Stripes (www stripes dot com):

YOKOSUKA NAVAL BASE, Japan — The U.S. military began voluntary evacuations Thursday at four military bases in Japan following increasing worries over nuclear reactors damaged in the country’s largest recorded earthquake.

The Navy said Thursday afternoon it would start evacuating families from Naval Air Facility Atsugi and Yokosuka Naval Base, near Tokyo. A few hours later, officials at Misawa Air Base, in northern Japan, did the same. Camp Zama, a U.S. Army facility near Tokyo, said it was allowing families and non-essential workers to voluntarily leave.


Hey, did you hear about my NCAA picks?

I ended up at Stars and Stripes because of this:

Troops would be forced to work without pay if the federal budget impasse leads to a government shutdown, according to multiple reports citing draft guidance circulating at the Pentagon.

I'm not sure about the truth-i-ness...who in Congress would have the nerve to let that happen?

I saw this coming.  Remember the video of the kid who body-slammed the bully who was picking on him?  Yeah, well the bully's mother says he needs to apologize to her son.  (Link goes to The Blaze)

[Tina Gale] said she was “shocked” at her sonÂ’s behavior, but did not think he deserved to be bodyslammed by Year 10 student Casey Heynes at Chifley CollegeÂ’s Dunheved Campus, St Marys.

“I was actually shocked because I always brought my three children up to walk away from fights,” she said.

Honey, your kid was and is an entitled little prick.  You should tan his hide, not weep over his "victimization."

Meanwhile, the real victim's parents are afraid their son might face reprisals when he returns to school (he's been suspended for fighting, naturally):

“ThereÂ’ll be reprisals from other kids in the school and he still has to go to school somewhere,” CaseyÂ’s father said. “HeÂ’s not a violent kid, it‘s the first time heÂ’s lashed out and I donÂ’t want him to be victimised over that.  HeÂ’s always been taught never to hit. Apparently other people‘s parents donÂ’t teach their kids that.”

And he didn't. He slammed.

HAH!  I clarify my last post!  The original newspaper article incorrectly stated that Tina Gale wanted an apology FOR her son.  The truth is, she wants her son to apologize TO CASEY.

IN an article published in The Daily Telegraph yesterday headlined "Bully's angry mum wants victim to apologise", it was written that bully Ritchard Gale's mother Tina wanted her son's victim to apologise for slamming her son to the ground.

But she had, in fact, said she wanted her son to apologise to his victim.

The Daily Telegraph apologises for the error.

THAT'S more like it.

“It is not a partisan statement, and we need to make that very clear,” said Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper.

If it were Rethuglican operatives who were caught in this mess (1) would they be designated as "former"?; and (2) why does the prosecutor feel compelled to make that qualifier?

Why not just say, "We all know Democrats are the good guys. They do not normally do things of this type, Republicans do. These guys were obviously misguided people in the wrong place at the wrong time, or possibly Republicans claiming to be Democrats. Don't worry, we'll sort it out and make sure justice is done."

Don't start fights, but sure as hell finish them. 

If I acted liked Ritchard, my parents would have beaten me like a red-headed stepchild and given Casey a written apology and a party. 

This "zero-tolerance" stuff wrt fighting is complete nonsense.  Bullies should get their asses kicked.  Schools are becoming like Britian, where the predators have all the power and the victims get punished needlessly.

197 Great video of the bully getting body slammed. Maybe that will make a few of these twits think twice before messing with someone for no reason.

Posted by: RM at March 17, 2011 09:05 AM (TRsME)

198 The truth is, she wants her son to apologize TO CASEY.

Strictly speaking, the aggrieved individual (Casey) was given the opportunity to obtain satisfaction and did so; so under the rules of etiquette an apology is not also required. However, it would go a long way to admit to Casey that he was wrong for what he did, and got what he ultimately deserved out of it.

199 Yeah, but does he spring for the cheap bottle of green food dye to go with his Val-U-Rite to mark the occasion?
Posted by: Brandon In Baton Rouge

No, Ace just waits outside of a joooo doctor's office to get some gangrenous foot parts to stick in the Val-U-Rite. That gives it a greenish color.

But if I'm not mistaken, I think Val-U-Rite is coming out with the "Obama Collection" of flavors soon. Each will be Skittles infused, so he may spring for the green Skittles infused bottle. It is supposed to go great with unicorn.

200 And he didn't. He slammed.

One of The Moose's hobbies is playing Rugby, so I know what it feels like to get pounded to dust. To get slammed so hard that you have a hard time with balance for a few seconds? Yeah that's pretty hard, and hurts a whole bunch. I found out that's why some people stay on the ground a few seconds after a big hit, not because they are really hurt, but because their body needs a little time to be convinced that they're not really hurt so it'll let them walk around.

201 Just heard a new story here in Indiana from a couple of Democrats: A longtime staunch Democrat "Tom Brown" tried to get registered as a Republican for the race as Mayor of Anderson in an effort to split the Republican vote against the current Democratic incumbant,  who stands little if no chance of re-election without such chicanery. Fortunately, Mr. Brown missed the filing deadline and his application was rejected as soon as it was received. I have no evidence of this beyond the hear-say testimony of the democrats ( my employees) who were telling me of this, but they were livid about the failure of the effort, because of their hatred for the Republican candidate.

205 Of course, the real news is the prosecution. We knew about a number of these cases.

The MBM has already tried them in absentia, found them not guilty and set them free. Because they're Democrats.

If they are convicted, we'll see more cases of "guess the party" in the MBM.
