MEMBER DIARY

Democrat election workers currently cheating the vote: you’ll love federal prison

If you are not fully engaged with the concept of 'recording devices', you will be. You....will....be....

You may already know this: there will be a reckoning. Actually there will be three. This is primarily about the third one.

The first reckoning – America’s second Declaration of Independence

The first reckoning will be on election day, November 2, 2010, when Americans vote overwhelmingly to reject the Democrat agenda. It will be a down payment on the epic 10-year butt-kicking that will be delivered to the anti-American, anti-freedom, corrupt, anti-Constitution movement. We lost our vigilence, allowed this statism to creep up for the last 80 years. Now it’s run amok, and we’ll swing the pendulum back. As Dick Cheney would say, big time. Maybe you think it’s just a short-term temper tantrum, which the media hacks will of course assert. You’ll see.

It is a reckoning that will take your breath away. All your cheating will not keep the Republicans from taking 70 in the House, 8 in the Senate. That is the first reckoning. At least while you’re sitting in prison, you can comfort yourself in the knowledge that your cheating kept it from being 100 and 11.

The second reckoning – retribution

The second reckoning, I will relish this. I am not a nice person at all when it comes to retribution. I will savor it the way I savored the Texas Rangers’ 6-game beat-down of the Yankees (conservative country sure jammed it up left-wing country’s rear, didn’t it?). The events of November 2 will make it perfectly clear to all Americans not named Jimmy Carter that the Democrats and the unions engaged in massive, epic-scale election fraud.

It will be the bridge too far. Regular Americans are not like you and your patronage buddies, union thugs, organized criminals, communists, and radical social engineers. Nor are we anything like the snotty rich baby-killer limousine liberals that control you. Regular Americans are generous and magnanimous. Your mistake is that 80 years of tolerance you have mistaken for cowardice and lack of resolve.

What will happen after this election, when it’s clear that you stole 20-30 House seats and 3-4 Senate seats, you are not ready for. What happens will be fought on your territory, using rules you know but never expected to have turned on you, by a fiercely resolute people possessed of righteous anger that’s been stacking up ever since liberal judges started flouting the consent of the governed. When pressed, they are smarter and more devious than you. They plan. And they stick the knife in the place that will hurt the most.

And let me tell you something. Regular Americans don’t riot. They don’t demonstrate or boycott (very well). They don’t astroturf. They don’t terrorize innocents. They don’t commit indiscriminate violence or indiscriminate property destruction. They know, or will know, the people and organizations who are controlling you. Retribution will be clean and efficient. It will cost you, and your owners,a good bit more than it was worth to save a handful of House and Senate seats that ultimately won’t stop what we do.

Just shooting in the dark here, because like I said, I’m not in on anything. But it hurts a whole lot more to have the stock values of your benefactors wrecked (Soros does not possess especially secret knowledge), deliberately and maliciously by hidden hands, than it does to have some of your low-level thugs beat up. It will hurt tons more when union pensions never see another penny of taxpayer bailouts starting… well, already starting now.

If you have a union pension, let me just say…..no you don’t.

And it will really, really ruin you when a national right-to-work bill gets signed the fourth week of 2013, days after EO10988 is rescinded, making it illegal (again) for government employees to unionize. We will enjoy breaking you.

You’ll see. You yourself will not escape retribution, although I’ll have to say that in the big scheme of things, you are just a tool. Americans will be taking care of the kingpins.

The third reckoning – prison

But let’s get back to you. The third reckoning involves you. You’re a Democrat doing the dirty work. You are in a room signing stacks of absentee ballots, or perhaps ordering it done. Or maybe you are a precinct judge or worker who changes numbers, or after the polls close, you sign a bunch of names of people who didn’t vote, and shoot a stack of pre-filled ballots through the machine. Or you’ve been bringing people into the early voting places and “helping” them vote the right way. Or intimidating the poll watchers like they’re doing in Houston right now, in order to hide the cheating. Or removing signs, keying cars, causing untimely traffic jams (you thought we didn’t know that one, yes?) or doing other dirty Democrat deeds.

These are federal crimes. They are punished by federal prison. And when you are sentenced to 60 months in federal prison (see 42 USC 1973gg-10 [h/t Sound Politics]) , you don’t get out in 14 months. You get out in 60 months. Or as I like to put it, 3 years into President Bobby Jindal’s first term. Just in time for you to try to stuff ballots again…..oh wait, there won’t be anybody to pay you, never mind.

Let me introduce you to a handful of concepts:

  • Moles. You think conservatives are incapable of guile, of “playing dirty”. Yeah. That’s because maybe 80% of conservatives are that way. The other 20% saw what you did in 2008. Bet 5 years in prison that nobody involved with your electoral crime cell, or up or down the chain of command, is not a mole. Go ahead.
  • Traitors. Wretched people who are cheating right there among you, sitting in your meetings, but who will betray their fellows once the game is up. They’ll turn state’s evidence on you two seconds after they’re in handcuffs.
  • Voters, poll watchers, the spies and turncoats among you, and regular people on the street have discovered iPhones. You are being watched. Your license plate has already been recorded and logged. Is there a real right-wing conspiracy going on here? Let’s put it this way. Not that I know of. But we don’t need one. You are reading the Kos polls, which amounts to farting in the bathtub, and biting the bubbles. You haven’t really done the easy math here. Americans have rejected you, at astounding levels. They distrust you. And today’s technology just makes it fall-off-log easy to record everything, everywhere.
  • You’re not helping yourself. Even in national, liberal-run TV and radio news, the stories of electoral fraud are, eight days out, running rampant. You have already told us you are cheating. You’re too stupid to hide it.
  • Just because it’s illegal to record activities in voting places doesn’t mean it won’t happen. It will. Massively.
  • Did I mention iPhones? Ain’t it terrible what Americans think up in their spare time? An iPhone app that lets a person record electoral fraud, and send the evidence straight to people who can do something with it.
  • Fingerprints.

And lastly, let me introduce you to one more word, a word you should have known.

Relentlessness.

Remember how after 9/11, the evil people responsible assumed we’d do nothing? Yeah. Then we went to the heart of darkness and toppled two dictatorships. Then we camped out in their space for…..going on 10 years now. Just think about that, when you assume conservatives will not be serious about taking down the people responsible for the most massive voter fraud in history. Relentlessly. We
will not be deterred. We will not grow weary. We will hunt you into the hills, and take you down.

Sure, recording electoral activities is illegal. Well, sort of. At least in Texas, a person recording events in the polling place is subject to…….wait for it………..being told by the election judge to turn off the device or leave the premises. As for what you are doing out of sight, how many of the people you are working with have an iPhone? Or any cell phone with recording capabilities? That would be pretty much everybody. Take a look at the person next to you.

And maybe you think the evidence gained by surreptitious recording is not admissible in court. Well on that count, most likely you are right. But you never watched an episode of Forensic Files, did you? Once they find out who did it (even with evidence that won’t be used in court), there’s just no way they’re not going to eventually find the evidence they need that WILL hold up in court. And you think your union or the Democrat Party is going to pony up for good lawyers, when there are dozens of you going to trial, just from your county. Yeah…….OK.

Perhaps you think Eric Holder’s Department of “Justice”, will never fail you. That’s your firewall, your hole card. Isn’t it? Isn’t it? Do you want to bet 5 years of federal prison on that?

Do you know who Darrel Issa is? Starting about January 3, he’s the chairman of the House Government Oversight Committee. He’s got the goods on Holder, and half the appointees in that Department. The That’s not saying all that much. Half of America has the goods on Holder. House committees can bring down AGs, especially when said AGs hand it to them on a plate. And doubly especially when the Civil Rights Commission is itching to take him down. Holder will go down, and while he’s going down he won’t be wasting any time or energy looking out for you.

The truth is, a whole, whole bunch of low-level people are going to go to federal prison, because they are too stupid to do their deeds in such a way as to not get caught. The high level people you thought were your friends, the upper echelons of SEIU and ACORN, will suddenly turn into strangers. Strangers with alibis. Strangers whose fingerprints appear on no ballots. Strangers with all the very, very good lawyers.

Do you think I’m trying to persuade you to stop the cheating, or perhaps to turn rat on your buddies? Nah, not really. We’ll have plenty of rats once the indictments start. And your cheating? Got it covered. No, I’m just the kind of guy who talks trash about how I’m going to drive on you and dunk over you. Just before I do it. Go, do your thing. I’ll win this thing between me and you.

For the record, if there is a silver lining, it’s that federal prisons have the prison rape thing under much better control than the state prisons. And as we’ve already discussed, the crimes you are committing right now are federal crimes. If you find that information comforting.

    Decades of stepping back and taking it from the Leftist Liberals have enabled them to steal elections. It is about time we shut it down, and shined the light (or iPhones) on them. This time, we need to step on the roaches, not let them scurry away.

    • kachina30

      I’ve been a precinct worker. You can’t change votes at a polling place. We have equal representation as Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. Everything is dual or triple control. We close the ballot machines together and we walk out the door together. Why don’t you voluteer sometime? You meet some great people..

      • edintexas

        You have not served in a precinct in areas like Harris County, TX (Houston). Or perhaps I should say some areas of Harris County. There is a reason the Democrats are trying to run the Poll Watchers off. Things like “helping a voter understand how to operate the machine” by casting the vote for the voter, or the incumbent US Representative electioneering at the door of the polling place (supposed to be at least 100 feet away), etc. And what about a fire which destroys all the County voting machines a few weeks before the election? And thousands of “bad” voter registrations turned in (over 8,000 for Harris County) by “voter registration drives”. Those which were caught are simply a waste of taxpayer’s money, but those which weren’t caught will be supporting casting votes which you would happily say were legitimate.

        Oh, I know, there is no vote fraud. You can prove it by your experience as a precinct worker in who knows where.

    On the first day after he’s sworn in to office I want to see the new Republican AG, Tom Horne, announce that he’s forming a task force to investigate vote fraud by the SEIU and their acolytes. ASAP after that, I’d like a press conference jointly chaired by as many Republican AGs as possible to announce a joint task force on vote fraud and RICO by SEIU etal.

    She says there’s plenty of space in there for these criminals. Along with the terrorists, gang members, bank robbers, etc. LOTS of pleasant people for them to spend their time with…….

    To you people committing fraud:
    Don’t worry, they find MOST of the shivs and other assorted weapons. You probably won’t be stabbed or beaten within an inch of your life more than once or twice in a 60 month term.

      to discriminate against HIV-infected prisoners, haven’t they? Or is that only in some states? No matter. With this administration, I’m sure they will get around to seeing to it that all prisoners are mixed in together, one big happy family. And a CLOSE family, at that.

      You get what you get, you miserable traitors to freedom and to democracy. If it’s good enough for terrorists, it’s almost TOO good for you! They, at least, don’t know what freedom is. YOU DO!

    Why should the taxpayers foot the bill to keep these people fed??
    I’m for air-dropping all of them on a small atoll in the middle of the Pacific with just their underwear and one bottle of water each, no sunscreen. Maybe one of those that are still radioactive.

    Let them bloat up and drown from drinking sea water. Or die a slow horrible death from radiation poisoning.

    “I am not a nice person at all when it comes to retribution.”

    Well, to that, some might respond, “Vengence is Mine sayeth The Lord.”

    True… very true… But while “vengence” may indeed be His, what the lefty cheaters and frauds do not understand is that He is also a “just” and “loving” God… a smart God… the ultimate forward thinker… who is not only THE One inspiring and guiding us (and providing us ahead of time with the tools) to participate in His plans for their pending Judgment Day… He is going to let us have FRONT ROW SEATS!!!

    And God said, “Let there be iPhones… and satelite TV.”

    Amen

  • libertarianphilip

    I liked the article, I agree with it whole-heartedly. However I try to be a realist and in Texas, it ain’t gonna happen. I just finished dealing with witnessing blatant election law violations and dealing with some over the top rudeness from Democratic election workers. I reported it to my supervisors, the County Clerk (D), The Texas Secretary of State(D), The Governor (R), the County Commissioners (D & R) and FOX news. The silence has been deafening.

    • E Pluribus Unum

      (a) did you use a recording device to catch what they were doing? Did you show that to the CC? Are you in the kind or district where the CC would care if Dems were cheating?
      (b) if you DID catch it on film, then say so, right here, immediately. We at RedState can get this on Fox News, and THEN we’ll see what the Country Clerk does, as well as the local DA.
      (c) If you did NOT catch it on film, why not? Get started, now, today.
      (d) I have been expounding on the point, “a bridge too far”. Nobody in modern America has ever seen what we’re gonna know on November 2.

      You’ll see. The fun and toleration will be over as the sun dawns on November 3 and America sees what was done.

      • libertarianphilip

        Thank you for your support. Why I didn’t was that Texas State Law does not allow recording devices including cell phones in a polling place. As an election official (alternate judge) I had to obey the law as well as enforce it.
        I can’t go back because I quit the job, though I will go to my local polling place to vote.
        There is a ethnic component to it. I am an ethnic minority where I live and also I am in a heavily Democratic area.
        I live in Corpus Christi. Though it isn’t on the border, it’s pretty darn close.
        I probably blew a good opportunity, I’ll own that.
        Thanks again for your support.

          I’m sure there are some details you might want to leave out, in terms of info that would lead to your identity being made public.

          But to the extent possible, I would like to see lurid details — in particular, what they did, a little more than who (by name) did it. I’m very interested in the specific tactics, and if possible, knowledge of what they did weeks and months back in order to facilitate the fraud they are committing now.

          It is helpful and educational — taking the good guys to school on what the bad guys do, and how they do it.

          • libertarianphilip

            I worked for the elections department for about two years. It was a part-time job. My main job technically puts me in the category of ‘a working member of the news media’ though the organization I work does not cover or endorse political activities or persons seeking elected office. Formerly I worked for a government research agency where I was trusted with confidential materials. I was a Q&A guy with additional duties of ‘hospitality’ and ‘housekeeping’. I have a reputation for being civil,amiable, and discreet though I can also be direct and blunt if the occasion requires. I am a member of a minority political party. They thought, so they say, a great catch. But enough about me.
            Over the course of my employment I witnessed many instances of legal violations as well some other questionable activities. Much of these are very ingrained in the local culture to the point of being part of the landscape. Much of what I saw or heard had been going on for decades. Much of it involved Democratic poll workers instructing voters how to vote. This is was always done in Spanish with people who did not understand English. One reason so much of this happened in front of me is that Hispanics tend to believe that if you have light skin and a non-Spanish name that you can’t understand them when they speak Spanish. Usually they are correct just not this time. The most amusing to me was during the primaries when Democratic Party operatives, working as election workers (perfectly legal) were attempting to influence who got the nominations. Since the candidates were almost all Hispanic it was amusing to watch the infighting. Other things were; intentionally withholding information or providing incorrect information to non-hispanics (European and African Americans), being more stringent in enforcing things like proper id with non-Hispanics and persons identifying as Republican. Being slower, painfully slower in providing service to non-Hispanics, assuming being Spanish surnamed means you are going to vote in the Democratic Party which caused some unpleasant exchanges with some Cuban doctors at a hospital we were at (I was on a mobil team) and also with young Hispanic service people at the Naval station. American born Hispanics in the military tend to vote Republican in my experience. While I reported what I regarded as the most serious it is so endemic if I reported everything I would have been there weeks after the last vote was counted. It was too overwhelming. What made me leave was actually the over the top rudeness and, frankly, the evident desperation on the part of the Democrats. Usually Libertarians are ignored, those wacky Libertarians. NOT THIS YEAR.
            When tyrants hear their death knell ringing they are seldom civil. They want to take everything out with them instead of what they should be doing which is going to confession and brushing up on their responses to the viaticum , cause baby, it is almost over.
            Thanks for the chance to rant.

          • Finrod

            Seriously: start up a diary here and put EVERYTHING you can into it. Tell your story, in as much detail as you think you can get away with. Don’t worry at all about making the diary too long or putting too much information into it. What you know, we want everyone to know.

            Fifty screenfuls of text seems like a lot, but really it’s no more bandwidth than one moderately high-resolution picture, so don’t worry about the bandwidth.

        • ultraconservative

          I also live in Corpus Christi. If it is someplace where they regularly hold early voting (and it is likely that the same poll workers are there), I will gladly go record the violations and rudeness.

          I have not voted early because I sincerely suspect that voting early gives the cheaters more opportunity to manipulate my vote. Many of my friend feels the same way and we are waiting until election day here.

          • libertarianphilip

            I vote at the Presbyterian Church on Sante Fe. That is a really good location with more than a token R. After working for Elections and personally knowing the technicians involved I believe the electronic
            votes are likely safe. The technicians involved are a mixed group in many ways and each one seems to put professionalism ahead of agenda. If the computer geek party was running a candidate I might take a look otherwise no. The problems I believe are from the high number of long term illegals with either fraudulent i.d. or voting provisional and getting counted as well as others not getting counted, in addition some folks like providing wrong information to misguide and delay the undesirable voter. This more frequent on Election Day.

  • Joshua Persons

    You all know Darrell Issa’s voice, even if you think you’ve never heard him speak. As teenagers, Issa and his brother were car thieves. As Darrell became an adult he matured, repented, and reformed. He took his experience as a car thief and developed an anti-theft alarm called the Viper which made him rich. It’s the one with the rotating set of about six sounds, including the statement “PLEASE STEP AWAY FROM THE CAR.”

    That right there — that’s Darrell Issa. If you know what alarm I’m talking about, you now know Issa’s voice. And it would be ultimately appropriate if, sometime early next year, he finds the opportunity to tell Holder, Obama, and the SEIU, “PLEASE STEP AWAY FROM THE CONSTITUTION.”

    You contend that, “”that 80 years of tolerance you have mistaken for cowardice and lack of resolve.”" No, that is exactly what it was. That, and greed, envy, and willful ignorance. So the American people are to blame for everything they have gotten.

    then you say: “”The events of November 2 will make it perfectly clear to all Americans not named Jimmy Carter that the Democrats and the unions engaged in massive, epic-scale election fraud.”"

    Well, don’t be too sure, the majority of the people will tune out all of the politics the day after the election, just as they always do.

    We will be lucky, and have to struggle, just to keep the people who are already angry, sufficiently motivated to continue pushing.

    • E Pluribus Unum

      Tthe cowardice was always the Republican political set. It was never, ever, the people. This movement is not a GOP revolution, It is an American, mom, baseball, hotdog, apple pie revolution, And they don’t care — not one tiny little bit — about John McCain’s “my friends across the aisle”.

      What they care about is that Obama and the Democrats have reached far beyond socialist tampering and right into a state-run society. This is huge, and everybody in it knows that November 2 is the start, not the finish.

        But I have seen this before, and it has happened lots of times. Call me cynical, but don’t expect miracles to happen. The average person is not very motivated, politically sophisticated, or wise. And far too many are just looking out for what they can get.

        • E Pluribus Unum

          You are terribly, terribly cynical, which often enough serves us all well. When you say that you’ve seen all this before, well………no you haven’t. I’ve been around 50 years, and I’ve studies, like many have, history all the way back to the golonies, and european and ancient indo-european back to the begginning of the written word.

          What we’re seeing has happened before. But you and I didn’t see it. It was 1773, Massachusetts, and 1775, Virginia. The whole population wasn’t caught up in it, but the 30% carried the rest. And thery didn’t stop because Lexington & Concord, and Bunker Hill bloodied the British lips.

          Threy kept on til 1783, watching the topmasts of the British navy disappear over the horizons.

          Its different now. We can’t send statists back to Europe. But we can toss them down from the halls of power, and put in jail as many as we need to.

          My intended audience really wasn’t you, or even RedState. It was Democrats. Last note. In the text of thre diary, when I say I’m not privy to a bunch of stuff, I’m just being artful.

            this year is very very different. To dismiss the uprising, from those going to Tea Party rallies, to shutting down the phone lines and fax machines trying to stop bad legislation, is not in any way a “same thing, different day” phenomenon. Not all of the people voted for this shyster, or the other Socialists in Congress, and, I refuse to take the blame for all that is happening in Washington these past two years. I was a part of the sane half of the country.

            We will gain in the legislature, Obama might even be a one term president, and if we try real hard and we are lucky we can also unseat a lot of the beltway crowd.

            But minus some great leader like a Reagan emerging it will be a whole lot of what we have seen before. Sure there will be some kinds of reform but it is very hard to sustain a political movement.

            Eventually the ones we elect will start to be like the ones we got rid of, always happens.

            However, I do beleive that we might see the kind of revolutionary change you are talking about, but only if the economy completely collapses. (a real possibility).

            And when that happens who knows what kind of change we might get.

            or get in bed, pull the covers over our heads, and refuse to get out of bed until the Commies come for us and put us all in the gulag. Don’t bother voting, it is a useless exercise.

            I’m seriously wondering whose side you are on. Your posts sound as though the Republicans should just give up and give in, because we are all doomed to hell.

            That is the way it is bub, you will never totally defeat the left because there will never be a time when some people do not listen to bad arguments and beleive political hucksters.

            You’re right that some — maybe even most — of the newly elected conservatives will disappoint (It won’t be ALL of them; it’s never ALL) The entrenched leadership has obviously NOT learned the necessary lessons.

            Your response is to wallow in defeatism.

            The rest of us take it instead as a challenge: the screwups in the 112th congress will ALSO be replaced, come November 2012. Rinse and repeat in 2014, 2016, and beyond. This is NOT over, and we are NOT going back to sleep. The RINOs and Democrats in the other two Senatorial classes…we’re coming for them, too, all in good time. And if we lose this year in some close races…well, then we’ll come gunning for the “winner” in 2016.

            If the founding fathers had your attitude — nothing ever changes, politicians are all corrupt, shake your head cynically at the tragedy of it all and go back to business as usual — then they never would have risen up against the most powerful empire on the planet and established this nation. The fact that they DID do so, was a POSITIVE change that has reverberated down through history.

            That we are the lesser sons of greater fathers is undeniable. But we too can make a positive impact just as they did — if we pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor to the task.

            Or…you know…

            cry cynically that nothing can ever change.

            We will see. I highly doubt if all your soaring rhetoric will overcome human nature.

            like I said, maybe if we had a real leader rise up it would help a lot.

            But no, I am not a quitter, because like I said before, I struggle on even though I have a realistic view of the incremental nature of politics.

            You on the other hand are the type who might sink into despondency when you finally realize that human beings are flawed and you can’t get everything you want.

            Not necessary, thanks.

            As a Christian, I am well aware of the Total Depravity of man (cf. Calvin) — my own, just as well as that of all men. I’m also quite aware that we live in a Fallen world, continually opposed in all things to the will of the Father.

            That doesn’t mean that no one can ever make a positive difference in the affairs of this world: only that such differences, once made, never last. The Founding Fathers established a nation that has been a positive force for good for over two hundred years; they did so with the self-acknowledged help of Divine Providence and not solely through their human efforts. It’s up to our efforts — and Divine Providence — to ensure the experiment continues beyond our own generation.

            That’s a call to (continual) arms, not a call to wallow in the Slough of Despond.

            Perfection is never to be attained this side of the River Jordan — but always to be striven for.

            … if you would entertain ours, it would be meaningful.

            I know this — the change is all from within the individual.

            Here’s my changes:
            (1) I will now engage citizens and local elected officials, and tell them they cannot rule me — they must work for me.

            (2) I will now let it be known, the proper way to be a citizen is to read, learn, and comprehend what founded this great nation. The US Constitution, and all other State constitutions that followed after, are important statements of the limits of GOVERNMENT, not of CITIZENS.

            (3) I will understand how I live and behave in my community (society), and PREACH WHAT I PRACTICE. Everyday, there a opportunities to help a brother out when their mental faculties leave them :-)

            Those are the basic personal changes a person could make. From that “leading by example” change in America can take hold and flourish.

            if our newfound lawmakers leave a bad taste in the mouth, spit them out, rinse and repeat until we get people in there who know what the heck should be done.

            (sometimes, like this year, it’ll take more than just a little mouthwash to flush out the errant germs. This year it involves a root canal. We are getting rid of the disease waaay down there. Sure it’s painful now but we’ll all smile brighter come November 3rd.)

          I have never met so many engaged and motivated people in my entire lifetime. People are reading the Declaration, The Constitution and they are taking a good hard look at what neglect has brought them. You put people in the corner and they will come out swinging.

          I have total strangers engaging me about politics and the upcoming elections and beyond.

          Yesterday, I ordered Chinese food for lunch. When the delivery guy brought it I met him in the lobby of our offices and the news was on with Obama on it.

          He told me he voted for Obama, that he was excited when he did and that he was looking forward to the Presidency. Then he said “not any more”. He said he is worse off than he was two years ago, he was confused about what was going on in Washington so he started reading and he read the Constitution for the first time in his life.

          People are engaged and yes, I will agree it is cyclic. But this cycle won’t repeat itself for a very long time.

      Tthe cowardice was always the Republican political set. It was never, ever, the people. This movement is not a GOP revolution, It is an American, mom, baseball, hotdog, apple pie revolution, And they don’t care — not one tiny little bit — about John McCain’s “my friends across the aisle”.

      What they care about is that Obama and the Democrats have reached far beyond socialist tampering and right into a state-run society. This is huge, and everybody in it knows that November 2 is the start, not the finish.

        to continue the activism, educating and efforts to change the republican party on state local and national levels. Make the commitment and follow through.

        Before now I was afraid to stand up for what I believe in, and I am not anymore. I will teach my kids the same. If it matters to you than just don’t sit back and say there is nothing to be done, fight back until you can fight no more. At least you can know that you fought for something that really matters: an individual’s right to his own dreams, his own fait, his own self expression, and the fruits of his labor.

    Excellent post – I shouldn’t really say this at this point, but I have plans to add pollwatching support to PROCINCT.

    I bought a spy pen with 8GB for recording. Sorry I haven’t had the chance to check it out. I originally bought it to corner a county employee who had lied, insulted and threatened me (I have him on voice recorder and wanted his face on record too).
    The pen cost $100 and there are glasses and fake remote car door openers as well. I know it is a lot of money, but I was dealing with a multi thousand dollar issue. It settled in my favor.

    EPB—you said at Redstate Gathering 2008—80 seats would be in play. A couple of the commentators said not to get hopes up and all that,

    Any lottery numbers you want to share?

    • E Pluribus Unum

      No lotto luck for me. For the record, I said last year, and really up till this week, that we would *win* 80 seats, (not sure how many I would have said were ‘in play’). I’m backing this down to 70, just because such massive fraud is under way.

      If it were a fair election with no cheating, given what we’re seeing right now, I’c say we won 100 House, 11 Senate.

    Fair, legal and legitimate voting is the very essence of our Republican democracy.

    In the past, we laughed at third world countries that stuffed ballot boxes, intimidated voters, lined up unqualified people from another country or otherwise corrupted the process.

    “Democrats” and their despicable liege have now brought the third world to us. Further proof, their Marxist, anti-democratic, freedom crushing philosophy is inconsistent with the fundamental tenets of our Republic.

    Day of reckoning indeed. I can’t wait to start eliminating union jobs, declaring the use of dues for political purpose illegal, getting unions out of the government and putting regular people back to work in place of these criminals.

    Like the column, but this comment was a little silly and uninformed: “Texas Rangers? 6-game beat-down of the Yankees (conservative country sure jammed it up left-wing country?s rear, didn?t it?). ”

    For one thing, polls have shown that Yankee fans in NY State tend to be more conservative, as one poll showed that the current Yankee players were more conservative (as are many players in many sports, quite frankly.) Some polls have shown that Met fans tend to be more liberal. But to look at sports teams competing as conservatives beating liberals is probably silly. Do you really think the Rangers players are more conservative than Yankee players? And didn’t Nolan Ryan once play for a NY team? Your team won, but it was not a victory of liberalism but just a game between two American teams.

    • E Pluribus Unum

      As a DFW citizen, all I can say is I took great joy in that beat-down. I note the regional affiliations of each team with considerable pleasure as well. Nitpick it to death if you want, but I like it.

  • gwalt

    Just heard Limbaugh asking to have early voting stopped to decrease vote fraud. True, but the other way to look at it is a lot of people just honestly forget to get out to vote. To remind them and tell them to go at their leisure helps.
    I own a few safes and some of them are fingerprint safes. My friend, to combat his employees leaving early, or being signed out by a friend, installed a finger print system to keep track.
    We have to give our fingerprints for a drivers license, and that was installed under Dem governor.
    How about a finger print HAS to be associated with a vote? That way felons would be exposed and it would be a lot tougher for Dems to commit fraud.

  • ningrim

    I live in Raul Grijalva’s district AZ 7.

    It would not surprise me in the least if there is fraud going on. But I wouldn’t know where to begin to investigate. I already voted by mail early.

    Also, I have a Flip camera, but how do you videotape surrepticiously ala James O’Keefe?

    • E Pluribus Unum

      Especially if you observe boxes being loaded or unloaded. It’s possible that somebody ELSE has videotaped the same vehicles loading up boxes at an SEIU local. The two of you together can discover fraud and not even know it.

      That’s why some sites who are putting stuff together need to take such things into account.

      But don’t get seen doing it, You know SEIU, I don’t need to warn you of what can happen.

    I and so many that I know are totally fired up and not about to back down after Tuesday. Voter fraud is a Democrat scourge that must be eradicated. Heck, Dems themselves are a SCOURGE.

    I firmly believe that without voter fraud and media bias, the Democrats would virtually never win any election, anywhere.

    We have GOT to get photo id registration and voting implemented state by state. To have to show photo id to buy sinus meds but not to vote is ludicrous! CROOKS and liars (to coin a phrase) have grabbed control of the elections. Soros made it his mission to grab as many state Secretaries of State positions as possible for the crooks. Early voting is a key ingredient of fraud as well, as has been amply demonstrated in many states just in the past week or two.

    I don’t believe the crooks even begin to fathom what we want to and can do to them. We are riled up and NEVER backing down.
