Super Tuesday pop quiz. Some Florida voters are experiencing difficulty casting ballots today. Is it because:

1. Diebold machines have been rigged?

2. Republicans are trying to disenfranchise minority voters?

3. They’re too stupid to be voting in the first place?

Here’s a hint at which answer is correct:

Millions of Americans in 24 states are turning out vote to in Super Tuesday presidential primaries from Georgia to Alaska today. Meanwhile, some dedicated if confused Florida voters are trying to, as well.

Elections offices across the state are reporting hundreds of calls from voters wanting to know where they can vote today. The answer is that Florida already had its presidential primary — last week.

I just wonder how many votes this cost Al Gore today.

There must be a big election tomorrow…

December 12th - CNN Poll: Obama catches Clinton in New Hampshire
January 7th - Hillary tears up
January 8th - New Hampshire primary.
January 9th - Clinton wins back women, narrowly takes New Hampshire

So since it worked so well the first time, here she goes again…

February 3rd - Poll: Obama erases Clinton’s lead
February 4th - Hillary Clinton cries in Connecticut
February 5th - Super Tuesday
February 6th - ???

But I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

Clinton Admits She’s Not Pro-Choice
February 4th, 2008 10:23 am

At least when it comes to choosing whether you want to buy insurance. Hillary is now proposing that all Americans be forced to enter into contracts, even if they don’t want to, or face having their wages garnished by the federal government.

WASHINGTON - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday she might be willing to garnish the wages of workers who refuse to buy health insurance to achieve coverage for all Americans.

The New York senator has criticized presidential rival Barack Obama for pushing a health plan that would not require universal coverage. Clinton has not always specified the enforcement measures she would embrace, but when pressed on ABC’s “This Week,” she said: “I think there are a number of mechanisms” that are possible, including “going after people’s wages, automatic enrollment.”

Clinton said such measures would apply only to workers who can afford health coverage but refuse to buy it, which puts undue pressure on hospitals and emergency rooms. With her proposals for subsidies, she said, “it will be affordable for everyone.”

Proposals like this ought to make every freedom-loving American run for the hills. She’s proposing to eliminate your right to choose whether you want to purchase health insurance or not… and if you refuse to enter into a contract for health insurance, she would use the federal government to force you to buy insurance by confiscating your wages.

It’s ironic that you don’t hear the same liberals that accuse Republicans of everything nasty under the sun charging Clinton of proposing to violate the rights and freedoms of every American while advancing a policy that would put more money in the pockets of big evil insurance companies.
