MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A county clerk likely violated the law when she failed to report thousands of votes in this spring's tightly contested Wisconsin Supreme Court election, but her conduct wasn't criminal, state investigators said Wednesday.

 

This is why this shit happens. When elections are subverted people need to go to jail.  We complain about election fraud all the time but prosecutions almost never happen and when they do the outcome is always “ho-hum”.

New Fox news poll

 

I know ace posted on this yesterday but I wanted people to keep this in mind when reading that article:

 

Democrats (n = 382) ± 5% Republicans (n = 33 ± 5.5% Independents (n = 189) ± 7% GOP Primary Voters (n = 363) ± 5% Dem Primary Voters (n = 356)

 

Romney 23%

Perry 19%

Cain 17%

Newt 11%

Paul 6%

Huntsman 4%

Bachman 3%

Santorum 3%

 

First it is a news poll and second why did they poll more Dems than Repubs for a Repub primary and then count them. Sure, frakin Dems like Romney, so does Fox.

Perry walks back "heartless" comment

“I was probably a bit over-passionate by using that word and it was inappropriate,” Perry said in a interview with Newsmax. “In Texas in 2001 we had 181 members of the legislature — only four voted against this piece of legislation — because it wasn’t about immigration it was about education.”

But Perry stood by his argument that building a fence along the entire Mexican border was unwise. The Texas governor said that the fence would likely be expensive, ineffective and violate the property rights of those who owned land on the border.

I like this inserted “but” BS.  Yes the fence is BS and nothing “The Hill” can say makes it any better. Besides that, when did the damn Hill start supporting the fence?  2000 mile fence = $1.4T dollars, cheap wood ladder = $50

 

Hey are all you concern trolls that said you switched to Romney over that comment going to switch back now? No, yeah, I didnÂ’t think so.

The Hill reports on Solyndra!

 

GOP's Solyndra probe threatens to ensnare Energy Secretary Chu

 

Gee GOP is hot after Chu!

The controversy over a $535 million loan guarantee to the now-bankrupt California solar firm Solyndra is threatening to dim the star of Energy Secretary Steven Chu, a physicist and Nobel Prize winner who has rarely been thrust into the political spotlight.  

Republican lawmakers have set their sites on Chu, who for three years has managed to avoid being dragged into a litany of political battles waged by Republicans and the White House on energy and environmental issues.  

I have a better headline for The Hill.  Dems and their PR rags throw Chu under the bus trying to save Obama from this case of fraud.  Another case of I did not have sex with that woman while jizz shows up on her dress.

Obama is a Stuttering Clusterfuck of a Miserable Failure.

Seriously.  Typing that NEVER gets old, and it never fails to make me smile.

I'm pleased to see the Germans finally bailing on Obama.  Or at least calling him out for his arrogance and condescension.  And seriously... when the EUROPEANS are calling you arrogant, you know you've pushed it too far.

The primary wars are on again this year

 

Recall in 2008 the same thing happened and the RNC “punished” States who moved their primaries by removing half their delegates. If SC moves theirs what are they going to do? They have already made the SC primary virtually irrelevant for anything but a PR gambit.

Vic, this is the clerk from the heavily Republican county that put the conservative Prosser over the top. She made a mistake in totaling the votes on election night, the only thing she did wrong was make the donks think they didn't need to cheat too hard. She only broke a law if it was intentional, and the democrat on the election board said it was an honest mistake.

The exposure of the true goals of the leftards, as evidenced by Orszag and Perdue, are merely the extension of a basic psychological flaw that has plagued mankind from the beginning, namely the desire to control others.

We cannot survive as a nation if we can't discover these people and keep them out of office. Power attracts them, like flies to a dung heap, and the Democrat Party is the biggest heap of them all.

Heh, I read that too. Cain's correct. While I'm on the subject of psychology, you'd be surprised to find out just how easy it is to brainwash someone. Endless repetition of a phrase, coupled with emotional arousal (and not the good kind like we Morons get when we see pictures of cute cheerleaders or boobehs) is all it takes.

Lots of concentrated, industrial strength stoopid in those comments.

21 So, judging from that poll composition and their on-air reporting, I gather FOX's strategy is to undermine Perry using Cain, but then later turn on Cain saying, "yeah, he brought some energy to the campaign but you know, he's just not ready yet," but hey! lookie here, you know who hasn't been savaged and is ready now, why it's Mitt Romney !!1!

23 #7  NO ONE can work with the democrats!  Why they think that Christie has that magic power,  I do not know.

Washington democrats have demonstrated that they will NOT work with ANY Republican president. They threw roadblocks in President Reagan's way and got him to raise taxes by LYING about cutting spending.  They attacked GHWB and attempted to block a Supreme Court nomination with baseless character attacks. They conducted an 8-year character assassination of Bush 43  during a damn war!!

Yet Christie is supposedly going to waltz in and magically be able to get them to work with him on solving the nation's problems.

This demonstrates that the east coast elite think they are smarter and more skillful than we hicks in the South and the Midwest.  I personally think they are also naive.

54 More Romney love, and another reason not to support him:

Obama's top 'fat cat' strays

JP Morgan honcho Jamie Dimon, once a “fat cat” ally of President Obama, seems to have strayed to Republican contender Mitt Romney.

Dimon, a lifelong Democrat who was rumored to be on Obama’s short list for treasury secretary before he settled on Tim Geitner, met privately with Romney on Tuesday morning before a fund-raiser at Brasserie 8¹/2 hosted by Highbridge Capital, a JPMorgan-owned hedge fund.

Dimon, who was spotted “in a discreet one-on-one” discussion with Romney, cannot publicly endorse a candidate because he sits on the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. But he donated to Democratic candidates in 2008 and privately supported Obama.

Well isn't that special.

The RNC won't allow any states other than South Carolina, Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada to hold a primary earlier than March 6.

I've never understood why this is.

What happens is, the votes in these states influence the votes in the states yet to come.

By the time it got to Washington State, the nomination was already in the bag for McCain.

My choice was, vote with the winner, or throw away a vote.

86 "Cain Is Able" link to the issues.

Anyone catch Cain's interview on Michael Savage? I only heard a bit.

Background: Cain earned his degrees in math/physics, with a master's from Purdue in computer science. Cain is a great communicator with a solid and efficient intellect who produces success for a real living.

There's likely concern regarding the Federal Reserve cloning the dollar. But the mannered approach to solve the problem in order to terminate the corruption would obviously vary based upon background and ideologies. Cain isn't talking about the Federal Reserve on his website. I doubt that Cain would address the Fed's corruption; he knows the Fed would never allow itself to be clipped from power. That he has experience within the Fed is a given. Cain's business approach to the economy would be based on his own experience of what feasibly can be accomplished to improve economic matters ASAP using current institutions at play. Until Ron Paul himself is arguing with Herman Cain about the Federal Reserve, I wouldn't put much stock in the "stupid" molehill tiff being hyped since every candidate has bitter clingers. Repeating a question no matter how many times the answer remains the same is at best an exercise in futility, and at worst, torture. And so far as the Republican big tent is concerned given the media hyping antagonism, I'd think he's well grounded. Cain didn't dismiss out-of-hand the concerns of Libertarian/Republicans aka Goldwater Republicans since guest hosting regularly for Neil Boortz, "a confirmed Libertarian." Cain's kept in step with the grassroots public concerns hosting talk radio, and his business success includes multi-perspectives from each segment of the population as to what is needed for top performance synthesized with what the establishment mechanisms will do.

/relish on the side: Moochelle's bomb removed by Cain.

@27.  Cheap labor.

If an American business has to hire illegal border jumpers to turn a profit then they don't need to be in business. If a business hires jumpers because they don't want to pay a decent wage then the boss needs to spend some time in jail and pay a hefty fine.  It's that simple.

100 Vic, immigration reform is not the same as amnesty.

You can bet your paycheck on someone pushing amnesty if they are on TV calling for "immigration reform". You would win 99 out of 100 times. The federal Dream Act was amnesty, this guy was pushing the federal dream act. IOW he was pushing amnesty.

So 99 out of 100 "immigration reform" calls are in fact amnesty unless they call for my version of reform below.

Posted by: Vic at September 29, 2011 04:39 AM (M9Ie6)

101

Have to post this every time the left calls for “reform”.

Yes we need immigration reform, but NOT what has been rolled out the last half dozen times. Every bill that has come out since the first major rewrite in 1965 has basically been amnesty and open invitation for illegals to flood across the border.

We are no longer the country of the 19th century with vast open areas in the West. Our cities are overcrowded shit holes run by corrupt communist hacks AND there is no longer a vast area open for the inhabitants to flee to and take up farming.

This is not to mention that we have entire towns in CA with a population > 20,000 in which none of the citizens speak English.  The current crew of "immigrants" do not appear to desire to assimilate and the current crowd of liberals do not think they should. The schools have gone from teaching America as a mixing pot to America as a salad bowl where "diversity" is celebrated and heritage counts for all, unless you have a European heritage then you are a racist.

Yes, there are a lot of things that need to be done to "fix" our immigration laws.  The first one of these should be to repeal that POS of Amnesty Round I that got us where we are today.

We need immigration law that does the following AND that is enforced:

1. Eliminate the BS anchor baby interpretation by providing a definition of what the term “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” means, which is not dashing across the border to deliver a baby.  Personally, I would require that at least one of the parents of any child born in the U.S. be a citizen before that child was eligible for “birthright” citizenship. If not, then the child would have to undergo naturalization.

2. Provide a reliable means for employers to check the status of employees.

3. Provide severe punishments for knowingly hiring illegals (or reckless disregard). That punishment should include jail time for repeat violations.  

4. Eliminate ALL benefits for illegals including schools for children.

5. Rewrite legal immigration to allow in immigrants with a desirable education and/or skill set and arrange the waiting list to have the most skilled/educated at the top of the list. (Australian system) Also include a check for communicable diseases (as we did in the past) and provide for immunization. Immigrants from countries on the list of terror support need not apply.

6. For groups that already have large populations in the U.S. who have not assimilated, reduce the allowable numbers until they do (eliminate whole towns that do not speak English)

7. Provide severe penalties for mules.

8. Provide the death penalty for people involved in sex slavery.

9. Eliminate all forms of asylum. That system has been abused to the point of making it a joke. Any true case that needs to be let in should be a case by case special act passed by congress. Get them on record.

10. Immigrants who become involved in any serious crime prior to becoming a citizen should be deported back to their home country.

11. Absolutely no dual citizenship allowed.

It seems to me, that if you can hold the general election on the same day in every state, you should be able to hold the nomination elections and caucuses on the same day in every state, also.

I mean, there's a reason, election returns, during the general election, aren't announced until the voting has ended.

Why should the nomination process be any different?

BTW, that list wasn't intended to be so much anti-amnesty as it was general reform of immigration. To be "anti-amnesty" all it takes is "no path to citizenship for illegals" or as Perry actually said "there already is a path to citizenship, get in line".

125 Well I have to go to work right after this so I will let you have the last word.

I don't favor not educating the kids.  If they're here, we should educate them.  How that is paid for is a different matter.  I don't think it should come out of local property tax budgets, the feds should pick up the tab for educating the illegals.

I also don't agree with the "eliminate towns that haven't assimilated" bit.  If they want to bask in their Spanish or Italian or Vulcan heritage, that's fine with me.  I would require, however, that all official business be conducted in English.

Those are the biggies in my mind anyway.

The idea is not to "eliminate the town". It is to reduce the allowable number of immigrants until those towns are assimilated into our culture. When you have cities of 20,000 residents in which everyone speaks a foreign language it is indicative of failure to assimilate and immigration run wild.

Sure we had "foreign ghettos" in NYC in the early part of the 20th century in which Italian or German was a main language but within a few short years they were dispersed and assimilated.

That is not happening in CA and people are actively calling for it NOT to happen. As I said, "salad bowl" has replaced "melting pot".

136 @If it wasn't so hard to get a visa to get into this country legally, we wouldn't have such a problem with illegals

I don't think so. 

I am for legal immigration.  I think it makes, and has made, our country robust and vibrant.  And I certainly am aware of the visa issues in trying to hire skilled workers (having done so myself when I had a lab).  Those could certainly be stream-lined and improved. 

But I don't think that has anything to do with folks crossing the border in white cargo vans or climbing fences or fording rivers at night. 

And, not to put too fine a point on it, just how many visas would you want to grant to a population of folks with no prospects in their home country, one that is royally effed up and causing problems for us here, and who do not speak English or have educations or any prospects for a job here? 

I just don't see those folks every having the wherewithall to get visas legally anyway, no matter how well-run that system was.

153.....I hate those pricks and the divide they're helping to create between people who happen to go to universities and people who don't.


It's clear that Romney has the elistist vote.

It's also interesting that the people who have a problem with Perry's 'accent'.....are strangely silent about Herman Cain's accent.

152 Also, the DMZ had been a stalemate battle front for two years of heavy fighting at the time it was established.

153 Of course, I also was lucky to watch Fernando Valenzuela when I was getting into baseball and the Cards back in Whitey's era had some pitchers who were good with a bat.  I *think* Ken Dayley was one of them, but my memory is shot. 

Yeah, I still prefer football and hockey, but baseball has its own appeal, especially as a game to watch live.

155 "I want the public to understand that Mr. Ferdaus' conduct, as alleged in the complaint, is not reflective of a particular culture, community or religion," said Carmen Ortiz, U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts. "In addition to protecting our citizens from the threats and violence alleged today, we also have an obligation to protect members of every community, race and religion against violence and other unlawful conduct.
Stole this quote right off of Fox News. A muslim jihadi wanting to fly planes into the Pentagon is not reflective of a particular culture?
There is a certain amount of slowburn that lives in me.

156 It's not fun watching all the wailing and whining and spinning from people. The same people who were demanding a fence during the Bush administration now have seen the light and say it's not feasible. E-verify is now wrought with problems and a system we should not use. Pandering for the Hispanic vote is now an unfortunate political necessity that you can't fault someone for. Sad.

157 Yeah we all supported Bush and McCain-Kennedy in 2005. NOT

But Romney did

BTW, I wrote that "reform" post in 2005 when the amnesty bill was being floated. it took a mass of conservatives phoning in to congress to block that POS after it was passed in the Senate.

It was also the start of the massive fall in Bush poll numbers as his base started deserting him.

158 Here's an interesting video regarding Hispanics and immigration in Texas.

Should be a sidebar item, IMO

162.....Pandering for the Hispanic vote is now an unfortunate political necessity that you can't fault someone for. Sad.

Sad? ....Yeah sad....and disgusting.

I don't like it one bit.

People like to hold up Ronald Reagan as some sort of 'gold standard' for a conservative president. ....But the truth is, he granted Amnesty for over 3 million illegals.

The thing that people don't like to admit that they loved about Reagan, was the fact that he won by landslides.....twice.

Which is what I think that Rick Perry could deliver.

Jim Inhoffe was the single biggest opponent of the McCain/Bush Amnesty Bill. ....He filibustered it and poison pilled it to death. ........And yet Jim Inhoffe has endorsed Rick Perry without hesitation.

People like to claim that Perry is another 'compassionate conservative' like Bush. .....No, not really. ....Perry is more of a 'tough love' conservative. While he may love his fellow man, he believes in doing the tough things that benefit the country as a whole in the long run, not just what would be the 'compassionate' thing for a few.

Posted by: ConservativeMenAreJustHotter at September 29, 2011 06:37 AM (6n8mm)

160 Perry's got that tough love Executive Order power or Eminent Domain power to benefit his fellow man because he knows what you need. I wish Perry was half as competent as Bush.

Posted by: polynikes - Texan for Romney at September 29, 2011 06:49 AM (Cs6bg)

161 Polynikes.....you seem to be forgetting that The Fence would require the largest Eminent Domain land taking in the history of this country. ....It would be taking thousands of square miles of property from American land owners, and essentially giving it to Mexico, because it would be outside The Fence. Including giving up access to the Rio Grande River.

An interested lurker for quite some time on this remarkable site, the now "leftist" Fox News and Establishment (radical marxist Dems, statist, possibly fascistic, Repubs) support firming for Romney leads me to comment.  Please be kind. 

The main issues I see for election 2012 are:  1. Encourage all "responsible" private development of natural energy resources first -- no government help in any way -- we cannot return to affluence without vigorous energy development; 2. Return healthcare to decisions between the individual and his/her doctor -- medical insurance competitive across the U.S. and carried from job to job -- everyone has an opportunity for basic healthcare; 3. Return CO2 to its life-giving and life-enhancing status -- real, not fraudulent, science -- real, not "fraudulent" education; 4. Completely secure the U.S. borders first, immigration reform to follow; 5.  Limit all government (city, state, federal) spending to 18% of GDP, no double taxation; 6.  Keep a graduated income tax (people must notice when they are working for the government), e.g., 5% $40,000 or less; 10% <$70,000; 15% <$100,000; 20% < $250,000; 25% <$1,000,000; 30% >$1,000,000 -- everyone pays and everyone works when receiving any government assistance; 6. Reduce the size of government on all levles to fit 18% GDP; 7.  No government support for "business" endeavors -- tricky, how do states compete for corporations?; 8. No government interferrence in the private sector, and transparency and accountability for all according to the law -- this just about takes care of the financial mess, banking scandal, the Federal Reserve, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; 9. Strong foreign policy, but absolutely directed by national interest, not moral policing of the globe - support our allies, eliminate the UN on our soil and from our budget.

I view these as "liberal" positions (none of today's Dems are liberal, they befoul the definition) because they encourage "liberty and justice for all" and "life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness" for every individual.  They are "conservative" because they have been agreed to and practiced over a long period of American history.  One example -- Cain's 9-9-9 taxation plan -- is a radical revision of our system.  A federal "sales" taxes and a "flat tax" completely change the nature of our social compact.  Beware.

All those Republican primary candidates who support the majority of these positions should be cherished and encouraged to discuss and debate as long as possible.  The electorate must be informed.  The debates are doing that (positive) at the same time they have a leftist purpose of sinking the candidacy of Gov Perry (negative).  I wish they were not run by the marxist (socialist, statist-fascist) media, but how else do the candidates reach the largest audience?

163 CMAJH. I'm not for the fence as proposed though the eminent Domain issues for this mostly unoccupied harsh land is nothing like the transcorridor grab. Anyway I'm more on Perry's side regard to issues about a fence. I was just pointing out others inconsistency.

165 Oh, just saw the new headline, obama blaming F&F on budget cuts. The magically mythical budget cuts! If only! We're spending $3trillion a year on god knows what, about a trillion more than me can afford. What bullshit, federal workers make more and have more job security than their private sector counterparts.
