		<description>Wow, I just walked into a room full of paranoid neocons!  Seems you&#039;re all a little pissy about the Secretary of State in Ohio there.  I&#039;ve got two words for you:  Ken Blackwell.  And two more:  Katherine Harris.  The person in charge of elections in a state should have zero connections with any candidate running in an election that he/she oversees.  They shouldn&#039;t even be allowed to express their opinion on who they are voting for.  Regardless of party.  Say what you will about Florida 2000 or Ohio 2004 in general, but you cannot deny at least the apperance of a conflict of interest in having people related to one candidate&#039;s campaign overseeing the election.  I&#039;m sure there are Democrats who have been guilty of this as well.  It shouldn&#039;t be allowed by anyone from any party.  But in the case of Blackwell, his actions are far more egregious than anything Brunner has done.  In 2004 Blackewell insisted election equipment be switched to Diebold voting machines, that leave no paper trail.  The CEO of Diebold said we are &quot;committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president (as in GW Bush) next year.&quot;  Blackwell happened to own stock in Diebold.  Wow.  So before you go ripping into the current SoS of Ohio, remember how dishonest the person before was.  You won&#039;t, of course, agree because he was from your party and helped your guy.  But then to use Tucker&#039;s words from an earlier post, but instead inserting reality, &quot;To a CONSERVATIVE, politics is not a philosophy its a religion. The souls of CONSERVATIVES are lost in their ambition to dictate and control the ‘values’ of a culture through a central authority. All other values and voices in society must be silenced because CONSERVATIVES believe they have supreme intellect (sorta like Bin Laden).&quot;  After all, your politics parallel your religion.  Your party tries to control the &quot;values&quot; of America, through politics.  And you all think you&#039;re smarter than liberals, based solely on the fact that they don&#039;t agree with you.  Thanks for the wisdom Tucker, and thanks for giving us Sarah Palin.  Our gift in return, Barack HUSSEIN (suck on that conservatives, its only a friggin name!!!) Obama.  

But while we’re on the topic of names, here’s a few for you to think about.  Dick Lugar, R- Senator from Indiana, shares a last name (and possibly family ties) with Georg Lugar, German inventor of the pistol that shares his name and was used to kill countless Americans in World Wars I and II.   Orrin Hatch, R- Utah, shares a last name with Richard Hatch, winner of the first Survivor season, who is also a homosexual and is in prison for tax evasion.   Roger Wicker, R- Mississippi and also a Southern Baptist, shares a last name with Christine Wicker, author of a book critical of Evangelical Christians and Southern Baptists in particular.  Arlen Specter, R- Pennsylvania, shares a last name with producer Phil Specter, who is currently on trial for murder.  My point is, people, who gives a crap what Obama’s middle name is.  It doesn’t mean he supports Saddam Hussein anymore than the people I just mentioned support their namesakes.  Get over your paranoia.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s a travesty that people like jennifer Brunner are allowed to hold public office. Our entire democracy depends on fair elections. Voter fraud should be vigorously prosecuted by the authorities, with automatic jail time for offenders ... and that includes voter fraud perpetrated by high ranking officials as well. Perhaps if stiff jail sentences were imposed, organizations like Acorn would think twice about defrauding the system, and defrauding the American people. This issue once again shows how important trust is ... and, that&#039;s why I would rather trust a man who would not sell out his fellow prisoners, even during 5 years of torture, than to trust a man who betrayed a 20 year friendship, for personal ambition.</description>

		<description>We need to get Jennifer Brunner out of office. She is a disgrace and her tactics are harmful to all americans because they make a joke out of our election process! Whether you are democrat or republican or independent, you should fight for the integrity of our election process.</description>

		<description>To a liberal, politics is not a philosophy its a religion.  The souls of liberals are lost in their ambition to dictate and control the &#039;values&#039; of a culture through a central authority.  All other values and voices in society must be silenced because liberals believe they have supreme intellect (sorta like Bin Laden).  You will never be able to convince a liberal to stop hating the attributes that make America great.  Its like asking a normal person to stop believing in a Loving God.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s right, Heather - you don&#039;t have to even live in America to vote, as you all know, as long as you&#039;re registered to vote in a particular state. I&#039;ve lived overseas many years the past 2 decades and have had different addresses on different continents, with no problems voting on the federal and state &amp; local elections.</description>

		<description>we are not becoming Mexico. the PRI was the ruling party. the president of Mexico (Harvard grad) belongs to PAN (National action Party). even the Mexicans couldn&#039;t put up with voter fraud any longer. they have a government voter ID. the ruling party would just issue new ones and they would go to another poll and vote. Most presidents of Mexico have been U.S. educated. they are trying to become like us. vote early and vote often.</description>
