Is Voter Manipulation Real or Imagined?

Every election cycle brings the charges that Republicans want to suppress the vote, especially among minority voters. Is that true or fictitious? (or is it the other way around)

Well, let's take a look at what's been happening over the past few years. Instead of having the minority vote suppressed, the minority vote has actually increased, percentage-wise. It seems that since the black vote usually votes for Democrats at a 95% clip, election after election, that ploy of accusing the Republicans of voter suppression is a means of motivating the black and Latino communities to get out and vote. It worked wonders in 2008 and 2012 for the Democrats in electing Obama twice. Not only did this tactic of the Democrats to increase the minority vote for Obama, it also had an affect on other national and state races as well.

The push around the country to relax the qualifications for voting is mainly organized by the Democrats. I wonder why? Motor voter, absentee ballots, no voter I.D. and early voting are mostly all championed by the Democrats for one particular reason, they can usually count on getting the “low information” voters to cast their votes for Democrats. Once upon a time, election day was on the 1st Tuesday of November only, but that didn't help the Democrats who wanted to manipulate the vote to their benefit by organizing generally Democrat voters in their churches and clubs and by “helping” them vote through intimidation in a group setting in the church and/ or by busing them to the polls after church services. These mostly minority attended churches not only use the pulpit for politicizing, but also for actual political activism in getting out the vote. Predominantly white churches normally do not get that involved in the political process. By the way, it is against the law for a church or other religious institution to be used for political purposes, but the law is not followed in many of those minority institutions and law enforcement generally looks the other way for fear of being called racists. Political correctness prevails.

The Democrats will then turn around and blame the Republicans for the same things they were doing to manipulate the vote to their benefit. Hypocrisy has no bounds when you want to win at all costs.

In the 2012 presidential election, you had certain parts of the country showing voting results that were statistically inconceivable. Whole precincts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Cleveland, Ohio, had precincts where Romney received not a single vote and some with only a handful of votes. Of course, those precincts were in heavily black communities and were expected to vote big time for Obama, but 100%, give me a break. Who was in charge of these voting precincts and who counted the votes? I once heard a comment about why it's not always the number of votes cast that determines the winner, it's who counts the votes that really matters. Recent elections in Minnesota, Washington state and here in St. Lucie County, Florida were determined many hours and days after the polls closed and quite a few votes mysteriously emerged from closets and car trunks that turned the elections in favor of the Democrat candidate in those races. Do you think there was voter manipulation in those cases? Is the Pope Catholic, of course.

I have the feeling that voter manipulation and spurious vote counting will be on display again during the upcoming election in a few hotly contested races for the Senate in Georgia, Kentucky, No. Carolina and Colorado. The Democrats ground game, as listed before in getting out the vote, I'm sure are geared up for a big climax to stop the Republicans from gaining control of the Senate. They will do anything , short of murder, to maintain control of the Senate. I hope I'm wrong, but I have my suspicions as to what might happen on election day when all the polls prior to election day show that Republicans should be the victors, without voter manipulation.

YOU MUST GET OUT AND VOTE REPUBLICAN, YOUR COUNTRY DEPENDS UPON IT.

MORT’s meandering

If you are thinking, ‘Crist’, you are not thinking at all.

Crist loves the nation’s #1 Muslim, Obama – he really loves him. He declares his love for Obama every chance he gets. He also loves Islam’s $upport. He loves deviates, especially Democrat deviates. He loves to wield political power and he surely loves the perks that go with being Governor of Florida. He pretends to like blacks, Latinos and Jews but, what he really loves about them, is their votes. So, he’s running his full head of gorgeous white hair for the Governorship, again. Don’tcha get

it yet, folks?

What Crist loves most, is Crist.

Excuse me but, didn’t we already see this film – when Good ‘ol Charlie Crist was Governor? And, precisely what did we get? Have we really forgotten so soon how His Royal Laziness performed? Character? Honesty? Integrity? Jobs? Economy? Industry? National Security? Financial responsibility? Concern for Florida’s citizens? Whaaat?

Good ‘ol Charlie has proven that he is a habitual switch hitter. He simply can’t help himself. He’s flip-flopped political parties. He’s flip- flopped gender preference. He spins like a top. His concept of loyalty starts and stops with that handsome, tanned image he sees when he looks into his mirror. And, he looks into his mirror 24/7.

Were you actually thinking of voting for this self-centered, sophomoric sop to vanity - to be the Governor of our wonderful sunshine State of Florida?

A Vote for a Democrat Senate Candidate is a Vote for Harry Reid

Well, you say, Harry Reid is not on the ballot so why say that a vote for a Democrat is a vote for Harry Reid? Here's why.

The Democrats for the past 6 years have been claiming that it is the “do nothing” Republicans, who control the House of Representatives, who have bottled up most of President Obama's agenda for purely partisan political purposes. It's funny that they never mention the fact that Senate Majority Leader, Sen. Harry Reid, has kept over 300 bills passed by the House from being voted on by the Senate. So, who are they trying to fool? You guessed it, the “low information” voter and the general public at-large. It is not the House that has bottled up legislation, it has been the Senate that has brought our legislative process to a standstill under the leadership (or lack thereof) of Sen . Harry Reid.

Also, over the past 6 years that Obama has been in office and in a position to appoint judges to the federal courts, a goodly number of left-wing judges have been appointed by our liberal President Obama. Each party generally appoints judges of a similar political bent to the courts, that's politics, but the judges appointed by Obama are very much attuned to the liberal/progressive philosophy of Obama and his fellow travelers from the left side of the political spectrum, almost exclusively, no bi-partisanship at all. Due to the fact that federal judges must be confirmed by the Senate, it is imperative that future Obama appointees not go through the “iron fist” of Majority Leader Harry Reid, who could if he remained Leader, by the Democrats keeping control of the Senate, would rubber-stamp more lefty judges, much to the detriment of good government.

Since the policies of Obama seem to be looked upon unfavorably by a majority of the public, the one way to prevent Harry Reid (and Obama) from doing more damage to our democratic republic is to vote for a Republican candidate to the U.S. Senate, so that the Republicans can gain the majority in the Senate to monitor the judicial nominees put forth by President Obama during his last two years in office. If Republicans control the Senate after the November elections, it will throw a monkey wrench into the Marxist/Socialist agenda of Obama and the Democrats. They will not have carte blanche to pack the federal bench with liberal(a/k/a progressive) judges, and legislation will then be acted upon by a Republican controlled Senate which Obama will then have to either sign or veto the bills that come before him, thereby putting the Democrats on the defensive and having to justify their actions in the 2016 Presidential election year.

From the most recent polls, it looks like the Republicans will be able to possibly gain the majority in the Senate and add to their majority in the House. It won't be easy because the Democrats have raised enormous amounts of campaign funds and are determined to try to stem a projected electoral slaughter this November by spending that money and by using a campaign predicated on the “politics of personal destruction”. It has worked in the past and they hope it will work again.

So, as our headline proclaimed, a vote for a Democrat Senate candidate is a vote for Sen. Harry Reid and for Obama completing his “transformation of America”. DON”T LET THAT HAPPEN, VOTE REPUBLICAN THIS NOVEMBER!

Obama's Knuckleheads

The present state of the union under Obama-cracy has been shaped by the clueless and
 the obnoxious knowledge deficient generation.

Unattractive individuals of mind and body that hang out in places like Starbucks, South Beach,
neighborhood watering holes and other venues they deem rocking, hoping it will make them
look cool. Actually the aura they transmit is laughable, thinking tattoos, five-o'clock shadows,
tank tops and bare midriffs, body piercings, crotchy short-shorts, baggy pants worn
plumber-crack style and partaking in cannabis makes them a part of the "in" crowd.
Emulating worm brains like Paris Hilton and all the other so called beautiful people
doesn't cut it.

Never before are so many young people so screwed up. The finger can be pointed at many
causes, mainly the media, in many cases controlled by perverts, misuse of technology, the
decline of morality and traditional family, Judeo/Christian values and an attitude of entitlement.

A recent example is not that of a child in a dire environment, but that of a teen age girl who is
 suing her parents to financially support her while breaking the rules of the house in a profane
manner. The causes I mentioned above inter-wine, creating the undisciplined, selfish generation
 who will inherit our country's future.

The first lady Michelle Obama a, appearing on the Today Show with Jimmy Fallon, referred
 to them as knuckleheads. The same knuckleheads who helped tip the scale for her husband
 in two elections. I'm being unfair to worms, because they are actually useful, enriching the
soil in many ways as well as being bait, unlike the useless morons referenced above.

Not falling far from that tree are people I know who surprisingly are intelligent and caring,
 but they somehow want to distance themselves from facts and information pertinent to the
workings of government that effects their lives. Because of this they want me to limit my emails
with only fun stuff. Because of the unpleasant condition our country has been placed in by the
liberal faction running  the country, they tend to shy away from bad news.

There has to be another word other than complacent to describe this attitude. What happened
 in Europe  in the 30's and 40's is not so far fetched from happening again. Speakeasies and
 the Roaring  Twenties mirrored today's  atmosphere of 'duh', oblivious of the deterioration of
 the quality  of life around them.

If the breakdown of the traditional family; emphasis for the rights of a few at the expense of
the majority and the unborn; restricting and banning items in our diet, but endorsing recreational
 mind altering substances; political correctness to stifle freedom of expression and allowing
executive orders that bypass congressional authority and the Constitution to preserve their
warped little world is going to be the legacy of Obama-cracy, I don't want to be the last
man standing.

We will be stuck in the mire again if the aforementioned dominate the poles in 2014 and 2016.
And the beat goes on!

Is Gov. Rick Scott a Crook?

To listen to the Charlie Crist and the Democrat Party ads on radio and T.V., they are charging that Gov. Rick Scott is a criminal (the same charges were made 4 years ago, and he was elected). Is that a fair and reputable charge to level at Gov. Scott again in this campaign?

First off, Rick Scott was CEO of Columbia/HCA which was fined by the federal government, $1.7 billion for Medicare fraud. The Crist ad mentions that, but never mentions that Scott was never questioned by the federal government and was never charged with a crime in that fraud case. Scott, at that time, said he had no knowledge of the fraudulent activity and said he would have acted to stop it if he had known. Scott was never charged with any wrongdoing.

Also in that ad by Crist, it mentions the fact that Rick Scott took the 5th Amendment 75 times in order to not to admit committing a crime in that fraud case.

Is that Charlie Crist ad true or not? Did Scott commit a crime and did he invoke his 5th Amendment right 75 times to avoid incriminating himself?

According to two prominent independent fact checking organizations, FactCheck.org, and Politifact.com, they found that Scott was never officially asked questions by the federal investigator in the criminal case of Columbia/HCA and he was never charged with a crime. As to the 75 times that Scott took the 5th on July, 2000 (3 years after he left the company in 1997), it was in relation to a totally unrelated civil case between Nevada Communications Corp. and Columbia/HCA, with Nevada claiming that Columbia/HCA had violated the terms of a contract. It had nothing to do with the criminal case. Under advice of his lawyer in a deposition in the civil case, Scott exerted his 5th Amendment Constitutional right against answering questions in the pending case between Nevada and HCA. The ad in question, by Crist and the Democrats, does not make clear in which case Scott took the 5th. The ad implied that Scott took the 5th in the criminal case, which was totally and factually untrue.

So knowing the facts as they actually are, you could say that Gov. Scott was and is the victim of a knowingly untrue ad whose main purpose was to impugn the honesty and integrity of his character. This ad should be given “4 Pinocchio's” for outright deceit.

Vote for or against Gov. Scott on the basis of his performance in office, not on some deceitful ad put out by his opponent claiming that he is a cook. Maybe Charlie Crist was looking in the mirror?
