I'm watching FOX 'news' right now and Glenn Beck just called Obama , AND I QUOTE, a "pile of poopy" RALLY THE TROOPS. This must not go unpunished.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 27, 2010 -> 09:21 AM) After viewing all of the if you elect a Republican, all of these bad things will happen that pretty much negates the "no benefit" point, at least as it applies to the left wing, who coincidentally is leading the charge in most of these illegal registrations. It would be pretty easy to convince people that they could lose their jobs, programs, or any other perks they get if they don't do this. Viewing the commercials on Social Security running in my area targeting seniors, and then thinking how easily many seniors are taken in for scams, it isn't hard to envision multiple scenarios of people being willing to commit voter fraud to "protect themselves." Definitely

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 26, 2010 -> 08:54 PM) I look at some of the events that they set these up at and wonder if any signatures are legit. I've seen voter drives at concerts with half drunk people signing applications. I remember one time down in the city where they were getting signatures on some petition to get something on the ballot. You had to be a Cook County resident to sign but I got so pissed that every block someone was pushing the damn thing in my face, I started signing. I must have signed the damn thing twelve or fifteen times. I guess I should have been charged with fraud. not really, but if you turn in 25,000 false registrations I want them to be disqualified.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 26, 2010 -> 07:07 PM) Do you guys ever read the article? The SYSTEM didn't work, they were registered, it was an outside group looking at registrations that caught them all. The system failed. Just like the system has failed to remove dead people or people who have moved. Somehow there had to be an advantage, either real or perceived, to have all these extra people registered, andf to be in no hurry to remove the names that don't belong. agreed. that many false registrations would lend me to believe there could be an intention to commit voter fraud. merely ignoring something like this isn't a good idea.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 24, 2010 -> 08:19 PM) snark doesn't work well to defend stupid racists and the bizarre political movements that get them nominated. i will tell you this. if any, and i mean any, of theses stupid tea partiers wins the general election i will threaten to move to Canada.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 24, 2010 -> 03:56 PM) Now, let's not parse our words here... It wasn't exactly "Prosecution". The idea of prosecuting the actual people involved for voting rights violations was considered by the DOJ and they decided not to prosecute. The date on that decision was early January, 2009. Read that date again and consider who made that decision. The Bush administration left the Obama administration an active civil case against the NBPP, not a criminal case. Basically, there was a lawsuit outstanding. A preliminary injunction was issued again the one of them who was holding the nightstick, but not against the other 3. One of them had a license as a poll worker, in fact. The current DOJ dropped the lawsuit...before Basically, they got the court to say that the guy couldn't do it again, and that as long as he didn't do it again, there was no evidence of actual violence, there were no intimidation claims, and nothing that the local authorities could charge him with. Furthermore, the actual NBPP itself could not be a target of the suit, because there was no voting-rights act style evidence of widespread, systemic intimidation. Basically...going forwards with that lawsuit would be spending government money to sue a guy for carrying a club to the place. The courts gave the first guy a slap on the wrist. Said "Don't do it again". If the civil case was expanded...the likely result was to be...slaps on the wrist for 2 of the other 3 guys. No one was going to jail. No one was even paying a fine despite the victory. It was literally as empty of a win as you could get. those honorable social club members should be given cabinet positions with Obama.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 24, 2010 -> 07:31 PM) That doesn't make everyone who generally supports tea party ideas "borderline-crazy, hopelessly ignorant, sometimes-super-racist conservative "values" voters" na, they are all racist and dumb. I, on the other hand, am very smart and totally non-racist. basically, anyone that doesn't agree with everything i think is either a racist or super dumb (possibly both). it really is a curse being so much superior to all the stupid racists i have to put up with. they are so stupid!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 24, 2010 -> 04:52 PM) That is the collage of images that the Republicans included with their new contract document they put out yesterday. They can't even find stock photos to make themselves look inclusive? those evil whiteys.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 12:38 PM) So basically, they're more than likely full of it. well, i wouldn't necessarily say that. but their accusation could be considered a reckless one, as they didn't have total certainty of the location. but i suppose that's one of the many uses of the internet. reckless accusations.

Speaking of the IL gov race, here are some polling numbers http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/20...quinn-1361.html Brady would appear to be opening a wide lead. It'll be interesting to see if he does indeed win, will he cut the state budget as much as he has proposed?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 22, 2010 -> 12:19 PM) The swear filter here has replaced 2 characters with "*". Look at the link and try to figure out which 2 characters you need to type in manually to get it to work. I just tried the geo ip locater they used. I put in an IP that I know originates in Springfield IL, the tool claimed the IP originated in Rockford. Then used another GEO IP locator, this same IP was shown as originating in Chicago, IL. Tried another one, and it got it right, Springfield IL.
