Governor Spitzer

Governor Spitzer of New York has finally announced his resignation which is effective Monday, March 17th leaving his legally blind Leutenit Governor to take his place. David Patterson will also be the state's first black governor.



I love it! The Dems keep digging holes...but are we the only ones who notice? When will the rest of America get tired of it?



I mean Kennedy had Marilyn Monroe for Pete's sake and at least Clinton used his intern (it wasn't directly paying for sex) but Spitzer will forever be "Client #9".

Cheating Has Always Been Wrong!

Cheating was wrong when we received our first homework assignment in grade school, then on into middle and high school. Cheating was wrong in college. Cheating was wrong in sports. Cheating is wrong in every single aspect of life...I guess except politics. That's the way the Dems look at it anyway.

Jon Elrod lost the race last night. I do not doubt that! He did not, however, lose by the margin that is reported. Why is this? Because the Dems cheated.

We took every precaution we could think of as a party last night (Republicans), but somehow they still managed to do it.

I personally counted the votes from 10 precincts, with a Dem partner of course. And, out of those 10 precincts, maybe 3 of them included count sheets with the ballots. What does this mean? This means that I had no idea how many ballots I was supposed to have from that precinct. I had no way of knowing whether or not our numbers matched with theirs.

Out of 10 precincts, the seals were broken on at least half of my ballot bags. But what was I supposed to do?

A couple of the precincts that I had no problems with (included count sheet and was sealed), were on my watch list (a list of precincts that we expected to have problems with) were carried by Jon Elrod by a large margin. These are precincts that have overwhelmingly voted Democrat (especially Julia Carson) in the past. And yet Jon carried them.

Anyone at Central Count last night knows that things were not as they should have been. Who will speak up?

Congrats Indy!!

Congratulations Indiana's 7th!! You have just elected a very inexperienced, black separatist Muslim to represent you in the U.S. House of Representatives!!

I have got to hand it to you! Even I could not have foreshadowed your stupidity!

When I left the Indiana Convention Center, after having watched the last ballots being fed into counting machines, Andre Carson was up by a good 10%. And why? Because his grandmother was Julia Carson? The man has spent 6 months on the Indianapolis City Council!! A position to which he was appointed!! How many times have I said that? And still, you decided he would best represent you as a member of Congress!!

You people disgust me! I am going to bed!

Indiana's Marriage Amendment

This was the scene at the south end of the Indiana statehouse today.

We were able to get a good look at the semi-trucks pulling up and dropping off the trailers from up here on the fourth floor. My co-workers and I got a good laugh out of it. I am not sure who is responsible for this stunt but I would place my money on Evangelical, Eric Miller (who may make a bid for Indiana Governor) and his organization "Advance America".

For those of you who don't know, the issue of a constitutional amendment to define marriage as between one man and one woman has been a hot issue in Indiana for the past few years. To make an amendment to the state constitution, it must pass two consecutive General Assemblies (or 2 election cycles). This was the last session for the amendment to pass the current Indiana General Assembly and it passed the previous one.

I am for the marriage amendment. I strongly believe in protecting the sanctity of marriage, but this stunt was just silly. There are two session days left in 2008 (Thursday and Friday) and the issue is dead. This means that the soonest the amendment could pass would be 2012. The way I see it, two semi trailers was a big waste of money for whoever did it.

Special Election Day! UPDATE: Voter Turnout Looking Up...

8:00am- The Clerk's office reports only around 6,000 voters have turned out so far compared to the 10,000 by the same time in the last general election in the 7th district. Low voter turnout has been a concern for both Andre Carson and Representative Jon Elrod.

Let's hope that the Dems are the ones staying home today!


UPDATE: 3:00pm Voter turnout is looking better. Reports that absentee ballot numbers are staggering. This could mean bad news for Jon. He has run a good campaign, especially for only having 3 months to run it. I hope that the voters in the 7th district look less at Andre Carson's name and more at his inexperience and sheer stupidity. This is not to mention his black separatist beliefs and Muslim faith. Oh boy, you got me started again!

(Hope to update you more but my time will be limited. I am an election commissioner tonight.)

Andre Carson and Louis Farrakhan

YouTube Vid I found day before special election. Please ignore the David Orentlicher spot at the end. He isn't even running!

If Louis Farrakhan thinks that Andre should succeed his grandmother (Andre being a Muslim himself) the rest of us should think twice!

For God's sake, vote for John Elrod for U.S. Congress tomorrow, March 11th special election!

Mail-In Redo?

Now the Dems are talking about doing a mail-in redo vote in Michigan and Florida. This idea is just stupid. There is enough opportunity for voter fraud without trying to conduct an entire primary via the U.S. Postal Service.

Michigan doesn't even have Party I.D. so leaders there would have to sort out all of those who voted in the Republican primary before sending out the ballots. Remember, I am from the once great state of Michigan, so I know the people, and understand their frustration. They want their votes to count but the only ones they have to blame are themselves and their party leaders who blatantly disobeyed the rules that were agreed upon a year and a half ago.

Hillary wants the delegates to be seated the way it stands now of course because she won both states. Is that fair? Hell no! Obama wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan. Along with Biden, Edwards, Richardson and Kucinich, Obama did the right thing and pulled out of the Michigan primary which was, as Biden called it, simply a "beauty contest". Party leaders from both of these states knew what they were getting into when they decided to hold their primaries early. Therefore, it is only right that their delegates not be seated at the convention. Period.

It is a simple decision of right and wrong and a product of lessons about following the rules we all should have learned in pre-school. If these delegates are seated, it will set a dangerous precedence for the Democratic party for future races.

What do I care though right? Maybe it is just my instinctive urge to fight for what is right, but this could very well lead to the destruction of the Dems for years to come, which I would be happy with!
