Here are the top 12 reasons I voted Democrat…

1. I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits of 4% on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15% isn’t.

2. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending the money I earn than I would.

3. I voted Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it.

4. I voted Democrat because I’m way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and thieves.

5. I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can’t tell us if it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten years if I don’t start driving a Prius.

6. I voted Democrat because I’m not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.

7. I voted Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away the social security from those who paid into it.

8. I voted Democrat because I believe that businesses should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrats see fit.

9. I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.

10.. I voted Democrat because I think that it’s better to pay billions to people who hate us for their oil, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher or fish.

11. I voted Democrat because while we live in the greatest, most wonderful country in the world, I was promised “HOPE AND CHANGE”.

12. I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my ass, it’s unlikely that I’ll ever have another point of view.

With 100 percent of the precincts reporting, deceased candidate, Democrat Jenny Oropeza, defeated Republican John Stammreich in the race for State Senate in the 28th district.

Well, why not? Dead Democrats have been voting for decades, it’s time they had somebody representing them in Washington.

Dear Democrats,
We warned you. We told you that if you tried to ram that socialist agenda down our throats, we’d shove revolt back up your asses. You didn’t learn when voters sent you packing in Virginia and New Jersey. Despite the community organizer in chief swooping into those states to gladhand the koolaid drinking sheep. We told you that America is built on the foundation that all men are created equal, endowed by our Creator, with life, liberty and justice for all. These weren’t suggestions of how people should be treated, these are core principles upon which our country was founded and by God, we will never let them disappear without a fight.

You’ve overstepped your bounds. You’ve tried to thrust upon us a government that, under the guise of dispensing justice, favors kickbacks to supporters at the expense of the opposition and prefers handouts to the greedy at the expense of the hardworking men and women that keep this country moving everyday. You’ve continued to spend more than you should, or our money, never worrying whether the expense was sound, reasonable or financially viable. You’ve killed job growth, rewarded failure and cast a dark cloud over this country. You’ve waived the banner of cradle-to-grave government and the citizens of America have resoundingly objected it.

The message could not be more clear. We want a government that fears the people, not the other way around. We hope you’ve gotten the message this time. We’re mad as hell and we won’t stand by while you dismantle all the things that make this country great.

And let not your heart be troubled… we will be back. We do not view last night’s repudiation of your socialist agenda as an end, but a beginning. You’ve awakened the sleeping giant and he’s pretty pissed off.

See you in November.

Sincerely,
America

What happens when Democrats find themselves behind in elections?

They cheat, of course. (audio)

SCHULTZ (23:02): I tell you what, if I lived in Massachusetts I’d try to vote 10 times. I don’t know if they’d let me or not, but I’d try to. Yeah, that’s right. I’d cheat to keep these bastards out. I would. ‘Cause that’s exactly what they are.

The more we hope, the less they change.

One man potentially stands as the last line of defense against a disastrous monstrosity of legislation that threatens the United States. That man is Scott Brown. On January 19th, voters in Massachusetts will go to the polls in a special election to fill the Massachusetts Class I Senate seat (formerly held by Ted Kennedy), for the remainder of the term ending January 3, 2013. The election has become a referendum of sorts on the healthcare fiasco currently being crafted through backroom deals and shady bribery among the Democrat-controlled Congress. If Republican Scott Brown can pull off an upset in the blue state, he would become the 41st Republican in the Senate, ending the Democrat super majority.

Brown’s campaign had a goal of raising $500,000 today. So far, he’s raised $1.3 million and counting. Click here to raise that total.

By the way, here’s Brown during a recent debate reminding people just whose seat is up for grabs in this election.

After losing two of three key races last week, Nancy Pelosi declared:

“From our perspective, we won last night. We had one race that we were engaged in, it was in northern New York, it was a race where a Republican has held the seat since the Civil War. And we won that seat. So, from our standpoint, no, a candidate was victorious who supports health care reform, and his remarks last night said this was a victory for health care reform and other initiatives for the American people. From our standpoint, we picked up votes last night, one in California and one in New York.”

Oops, maybe not.

Now a recanvassing in the 11-county district shows that Owens’ lead has narrowed to 3,026 votes over Hoffman, 66,698 to 63,672, according to the latest unofficial results from the state Board of Elections.

In Oswego County, where Hoffman was reported to lead by only 500 votes with 93 percent of the vote counted election night, inspectors found Hoffman actually won by 1,748 votes — 12,748 to 11,000.

The new vote totals mean the race will be decided by absentee ballots, of which about 10,200 were distributed, said John Conklin, communications director for the state Board of Elections.
…
Oswego County elections officials blame the mistakes on “chaos” in their call-in center that included a phone system foul-up and inspectors who read numbers incorrectly when phoning in results. Of 245 races in the county — not including the congressional and court races — 84 had incorrect totals reported election night.

In the congressional race, more votes were cast in Oswego County than any other in the 11-county district.

The district’s second biggest voter turnout was in Jefferson County, where Hoffman also has benefited from a turnaround since election night, gaining about 700 votes. Owens led Hoffman by 300 votes on the final election night tally. But after recanvassing, Hoffman now leads by 424 votes, 10,884 to 10,460.

The race is down to 3,000 votes and there are over 10,000 absentee ballots to be counted, many of which are likely military. Given the historical trend of military votes favoring the coservative candidate, the results could be interesting.

Democrats were very enthusiastic about recounts and recanvassing in the presidential race in 2000, the 2006 Washington state governor’s race and the 2008 Minnesota senate race. I won’t hold my breath waiting for the same enthusiam this time around.

What a week for the Community Organizer in Chief. First, the corrupt organization for whom he worked and legally represented gets exposed for the criminal organization it is…

…and now this:

U.S. charges Obama fund-raiser in $290 million fraud

Hassan Nemazee, a fund-raiser for Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and other Democrats, has been indicted for defrauding Bank of America, HSBC and Citigroup Inc out of more than $290 million in loan proceeds, U.S. prosecutors said on Monday.

What’s that about judging men by the company they keep?

…and they don’t like it very much. Good.

Background from the folks behind the videotaping:

The scenario we posed the ACORN Housing employees in Baltimore is due to the application of similar power tactics. We gave ACORN a taste of its own medicine. ACORN was alleged to be thug-like, criminal, and nefarious. This criminal behavior was evidenced by a video of Baltimore ACORN community organizers breaking the locks on foreclosed homes. Instead of railing against their radicalism, it is best to bring out this type of radicalism. Hannah Giles and I took advantage of ACORN’s regard for thug criminality by posing the most ridiculous criminal scenario we could think of and seeing if they would comply–which they did without hesitation.

Additionally, instead of focusing on foreclosure itself, which has become seemingly as politicized as abortion, we focused on crimes more difficult for the left to defend: trafficking of young helpless girls and tax evasion. The first group represents the severely disadvantaged, the second a threat to the distribution of wealth.

While manipulation or entrapment occurs when people are encouraged to do things they otherwise wouldn’t, the pre-set trap is their own. These tactics allow the viewer to see ACORN’s soul; their playing field and their morality, out in the open. Their system is based on conflict and change for its own sake. This system is based on totalitarian principles and class war techniques. These people understand pressure, power and self-interest. When the Baltimore employees saw we were shady dealers, their instincts clicked in, as we were prime recruits.

ACORN has ascended. They elect our politicians and receive billions in tax money. Their world is a revolutionary, socialistic, atheistic world, where all means are justifiable. And they create chaos, again, for it’s own sake. It is time for us to be studying and applying their tactics, many of which are ideologically neutral. It is time, as Hannah said as we walked out of the ACORN facility, for conservative activists to “create chaos for glory.”

So why is this story important? Aside from the obvious illegalities being advocated and advised upon in these videos, remember this is the same group that stormed conferences and government offices back in 1995 to intimidate legislators who were trying to investigate and reform the Community Reinvestment Act, a law that allows groups like ACORN to force banks into making high-risk loans to low-credit customers.

That March, House Speaker Newt Gingrich was scheduled to address a meeting of county commissioners at the Washington Hilton. But, first, some 500 protesters from the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) poured into the ballroom from both the kitchen and the main entrance.

Hotel staffers who tried to block them were quickly overwhelmed by demonstrators chanting, “Nuke Newt!” and “We want Newt!” Jamming the aisles, carrying bullhorns and taunting the assembled county commissioners, demonstrators swiftly took over the head table and commandeered the microphone, sending two members of Congress scurrying.

The demonstrators’ target, Gingrich, hadn’t yet arrived - and his speech was cancelled. When the cancellation was announced, ACORN’s foot soldiers cheered.
…
Yet ACORN had only just begun. Two days later, 50 to 100 of the same protesters hit their main target - a House Banking subcommittee considering changes to the Community Reinvestment Act…

This is the same group of community-organized thugs that have been charged with voter registration fraud in Washington, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Colorado and other states.

And this is the same group that Barack Obama held a role of “leadership trainer” as well as represented as legal counsel…

And to bring the above undercover video scandal, the thuggery to prevent change in the CRA that could’ve mitigated the financial collapse and all the voter registration fraud and intimidation tactics full circle… remember that this is the same group that Barack Obama promised would “help shape his administration“…

How’s that hope and change feel now?

UPDATE:
As expected, I have the usual emails flooding in from leftwing crybabies defending ACORN and saying this is an isolated event. And, as expected, they’re wrong as usual. Here’s undercover video of similar “advice” being given in ACORN’s Washington, DC office:

…and more in New York:

The response from these idiots is hilarious.

The ACORN workers in question have denied the conversations took place, and ACORN’s attorneys subsequently sent letters to Roger Ailes, President of Fox News, on September 10th and September 11th. You can read both letters here.

In the September 10th letter, the attorneys stated in no uncertain terms that the videotape had been doctored, and demanded that Fox “cease publication of these tapes unless it can produce proof that the conversations actually took place.”

Only liberals could stare at “proof that the conversations actually took place” and deny the “conversations actually took place”. Perhaps it depends on the definition of “is”.

The letter also asks Fox to “take your responsibility as a news gathering organization seriously.” I have seen no evidence that Fox has honored either of these requests.

The irony of the century. Someone finally does the job the MSM should be doing and suddenly the Left doesn’t like it. I guess “serious news gathering” just deals with the First Lady’s arms and the President’s basketball picks.

But even better is that despite denying that the “conversation actually took place”, ACORN is threatening to sue the makers of the video as well as FoxNews.

In the letter sent to Ailes on September 11th, ACORN’s attorneys notified Fox of their conclusion that the “filming and broadcast of the conversations at the Baltimore ACORN offices violates §10-402 of the Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article of the Maryland Code, which makes it unlawful to wilfully intercept, endeavor to intercept, or procure any other person to intercept any oral conversation unless all parties to the communication consent.”

So to sum up ACORN’s defense… it was illegal for the film makers to records the conversations that never took place.

Idiots.

UPDATE 2:
Finally.

The Senate dealt a blow to ACORN Monday evening, voting to deny the Department of Housing and Urban Development from granting funds to the community organization.

Sen. Mike Johanns’s (R-Neb.) amendment to the appropriations bill providing funding to the department passed in a bipartisan, 83-7 vote.

Thank you, Senator Johanns!

UPDATE 3:
Another “isolated event”… this time at ACORN offices in California. Adding to the basic prostitution, fraud and child abuse advice, this ACORN worker proudly brags about murdering her own husband and threatening the lives of neighbors. Hope and change, baby, hope and change.

UPDATE 4:
And yet one more… from San Diego. This time the ACORN worker is offering much needed advice on the best border location across which to smuggle underage sex slaves. Your tax dollars at work.

Most folks are attributing Barack Obama’s win to the mortgage scandal that led to the economic crisis. Until Lehman Brothers collapsed in mid-September, John McCain was ahead in the polls. But the Democrat-led scandal and the resulting, collective blame wrongly thrown towards the Bush administration and Republicans in general ushered in an environment that fit perfectly into Senator Government’s “hope ‘n change” mantra.

But in hindsight, given that so many people who had incentive to see Obama win were instrumental in allowing or causing the economic crisis to happen in the first place, one has to wonder if this preventable economic crisis was part of a broader campaign to elect the most liberal, most inexperienced candidate with ties to radical 1960s anti-establishment players.

It might’ve seemed like a ridiculous question until you add up all the pieces…

Aside from the Democrats who controlled the Banking and Finance committees in Congress (and those who illegally got sweetheart loans), who was part of Obama’s political inner circle? James A. Johnson and Franklin D. Raines, former chief executives of Fannie Mae.

And now, Obama has chosen as his Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, the Chicago political machine insider who sat on the Board of Freddie Mac while the mortgage scandal was brewing.

President-elect Barack Obama’s newly appointed chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, served on the board of directors of the federal mortgage firm Freddie Mac at a time when scandal was brewing at the troubled agency and the board failed to spot “red flags,” according to government reports reviewed by ABCNews.com.

The Board upon which Emanuel sat was accused by the regulator, Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO), with “having “failed in its duty to follow up on matters brought to its attention.”

So we have the biggest economic crisis in our country since the Great Depression and it turns out to be the single biggest factor in the election and the folks who made it and let it happen all have ties to the winning candidate.

Is this part of the Hope or part of the Change?

To put things in perspective, when President Bush was faced with the issue of corporate scandals that involved acquaintances, he went after them and put them away. Barack Obama goes after them… and offers them jobs.
