Well, if you have, I'm proud that I can bring you part of the answer.  Not only is it because we depend on dead people and felons to pull us through tight elections, we also intentionally register individuals multiple times in different precincts.  Thus, a single Democrat can go vote several times on election day for the same candidate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're seeing this now in Missouri and other states where the liberal/Democrat organization, ACORN, has submitted thousands of fraudulent voter registration cards.  Four Democrats have been indicted on federal charges as a result.  We like to claim we're against voter ID requirement because it would disenfranchise poor and minority voters.  The cost of obtaining an ID, we argue, is too high.  But then states pass laws that require the state to provide the ID free of charge to those who can't afford it, and we look like idiots searching for another reason to ensure the dead don't have to show ID when they go vote vicariously through Mr. Democrat Activist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Wall Street Journal has an excellent editorial on the latest debacle our party is in.  Read it &lt;a href="http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110009189"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: georgia;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;font-size:100%;"  &gt;So, less than a week before the midterm elections, four workers from Acorn, the liberal activist group that has registered millions of voters, have been indicted by a federal grand jury for submitting false voter registration forms to the Kansas City, Missouri, election board. But hey, who needs voter ID laws?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p  style="font-style: italic; font-family: georgia;font-family:georgia;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;We wish this were an aberration, but allegations of fraud have tainted Acorn voter drives across the country. Acorn workers have been convicted in Wisconsin and Colorado, and investigations are still under way in Ohio, Tennessee and Pennsylvania.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35937237-116258784446034310?l=oklahomademocrats.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://oklahomademocrats.blogspot.com/2006/11/democrats-and-voter-fraud.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Colossus)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35937237.post-116242946936525316</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 Nov 2006 01:03:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-11-01T17:04:29.373-08:00</atom:updated><title>John Kerry to the Rescue!</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/856/4008/1600/irak.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/856/4008/320/irak.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35937237-116242946936525316?l=oklahomademocrats.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://oklahomademocrats.blogspot.com/2006/11/john-kerry-to-rescue.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Colossus)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35937237.post-116225563595893229</guid><pubDate>Tue, 31 Oct 2006 00:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-10-30T16:47:15.966-08:00</atom:updated><title>State Representative Calvey Going to Iraq-- Democrat Calls for His Death</title><description>Kevin Calvey, one of Oklahoma's finest State Representatives, has volunteered to served in Iraq.

Despicable to be sure.   No one likes their property being ruined and no one likes to see their money go to waste over some pranksters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But just a few weeks ago when Democrats were defacing Representative Thad Balkman's (R-Norman) signs by writing "American Taliban" and "Bad Thad," they accused Balkman of "whining" and told him to just suck it up, these things happen.  After all, it was probably just some troublesome teenagers, they said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the tables are turned and they're outraged!  "De Rats. That's very mature of them," says Nicole at DemoOkie. Yeah, just like writing "American Taliban," except whoever defaced the Democrats' sign actually had a point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That is dispicable [sic], and illegal!!" wrote Jeri, one of DemoOkie's 5 certified resident nutcases.  But it isn't despicable or illegal when they do it to a Republican sign.  So, forgive me if all I can say is "Boo hoo hoo."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, hey, must just be some dumb teenagers, right?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35937237-116155462883940777?l=oklahomademocrats.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://oklahomademocrats.blogspot.com/2006/10/hypocrites.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Colossus)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35937237.post-116155072200796557</guid><pubDate>Sun, 22 Oct 2006 20:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2006-10-22T13:58:42.016-07:00</atom:updated><title>Who Says You Can't Trust Liberals With National Security?</title><description>The New York Times &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/22/opinion/22pubed.html?_r=3&amp;pagewanted=2&amp;amp;n=Top%2fOpinion%2fThe%20Public%20Editor&amp;oref=slogin&amp;amp;oref=slogin"&gt;pulls a John Kerry on the SWIFT program&lt;/a&gt;-- a program that let us track terrorists' finances and gather valuable intelligence on their operations....that is, until The Times published a story about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;My July 2 column strongly supported The Times’s decision to publish its June 23 article on a once-secret banking-data surveillance program. After pondering for several months, I have decided I was off base. There were reasons to publish the controversial article, but they were slightly outweighed by two factors to which I gave too little emphasis. While it’s a close call now, as it was then, I don’t think the article should have been published.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Those two factors are really what bring me to this corrective commentary: the apparent legality of the program in the United States, and the absence of any evidence that anyone’s private data had actually been misused. I had mentioned both as being part of “the most substantial argument against running the story,” but that reference was relegated to the bottom of my column. . . .&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I haven’t found any evidence in the intervening months that the surveillance program was illegal under United States laws. Although data-protection authorities in Europe have complained that the formerly secret program violated their rules on privacy, there have been no Times reports of legal action being taken.

No, I'm talking about Mark Foley, I'm talking about the evil Republican State Auditor Jeff McMahan.  Apparently, he's been implicated in some questionable fundraising tactics and ethics reports.  In a multi-post series, &lt;a href="http://wwwtmrcom.blogspot.com/2006/10/jones-questioned-mcmahans-reports.html"&gt;The McCarville Report Online &lt;/a&gt;has the details.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait, what?  McMahan is a Democrat?  Nevermind. There's nothing to see here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Oklahoma Democrats are squeaky clean.  Just ask all those we hold in high esteem like Gene Stipe (Perjury, Conspiracy), Wallace Collins (libel), former State Insurance Commissioner Carroll Fisher (Perjury, Embezzlement), and &lt;st1:placetype st="on"&gt;&lt;/st1:placetype&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt; David Walters (8 Felony Indictments).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UPDATE:  There's more!

This is not the time to give up! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;View it this way: if we can simply gain 3 percent support for Dr. Hunter every week until Election Day, we'll have only lost by about 10 points.

Here we will try to provide you with the latest updates and news regarding our candidates for office.  Further, we hope to provide you with a new source of information regarding Democrat politics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As most of you know, we are currently facing an awful administration that has steadfastly opposed terrorists' rights, kept taxes low, protected us from further terrorist attack, further restricted the rights of people to abort their unborn baby (Oops, I mean "fetus"), and enhanced the economy beyond what we imagined was possible just 5 and 1/2 years ago during a recession that started while Clinton was in office.  For us Democrats, this is an outrage!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you think the situation is bad on the national level, things are even worse here in Oklahoma.  Ever since Republicans took control of the State House for the first time in decades, the roads and bridges we neglected during our stranglehold on Oklahoma government are being repaired and have a secure source of funding, teacher pay is rising quickly, taxes are being lowered, the economy is booming, and unborn children now have more protections than ever before!  Absurd, if you ask us!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now we are in danger of losing the State Senate for the first time in history.  Given the Republican record of lowering our taxes and promoting Oklahoma values, we can't let this stand.   Just imagine if Republicans controlled the legislature with DINO Brad Henry in the Governor's Mansion.  It would be chaos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My heart almost stops at the thought. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Almost&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35937237-116070248910747232?l=oklahomademocrats.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://oklahomademocrats.blogspot.com/2006/10/welcome-democrats-of-oklahoma.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Colossus)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
