Well, well, well…

As if any of this is a surprise, but it is nice to see someone first get caught in the act and second, be charged with a felony and be looking at some quality time.

Election Worker Caught Changing Votes! Charged with Felony (photos)

February 18, 2009 by MR

Sean Stevens, a polling place worker in Monroe County, PA faces felony voter fraud charges for reaching into voting booths and changing people’s votes on Election Day.

Stevens, seen here in a video taken on November 4, 2008, set up a bench behind the electronic machines at the polling place he was overseeing and strolled back and forth encouraging people to vote for Barack Obama and actually reaching down and changing votes.

Just another reason that I highly doubt that Obama won the popular vote, much less the electoral college.

The Dem Vote Stealing Two-Step…

In retrospect:

Many conservatives had mixed feelings when the dust finally settled after the primary season, and we were left with John McCain as the GOP nominee. Yes that McCain, who had angered many conservatives prior to the ’08 campaign season, for his stances on illegal immigration, GITMO, torture, and the like.

Many of us who respected (and still respect) him for his service to our nation, both in uniform and out of uniform, still weren’t too comfortable with his compromising certain conservative ideals, and his strange fascination with condemning conservatives faster than democrats, whenever one side or the other gets into a political bind.

Still…many of us held our nose, and voted for him, knowing that he would be better for our nation (while engaged in war and financial hard times) than Obama could ever be.
Along with that, still many more voted FOR Sarah Palin, and ignored McCain on the ticket altogether.

In those final few weeks of the campaign, one champion of the ‘regular old American’ was “Joe The Plumber”.
Just recently, Joe sat down with Glenn Beck and told him…well, what most of us were thinking when it came to John McCain:

(snip)

GLENN: Well, okay. Let’s take them one by one. Tell me about John McCain, something that I don’t know.

JOE THE PLUMBER: Well, something you don’t know, actually it’s probably stuff that you’ve already guessed and has already been painted in the different media spotlights. Just, well, you know, the bailouts. When I was on the bus with him, I asked him a lot of questions about the bailout because most Americans did not want that to happen, yet he voted for it. At the same time he’s talking about how he’s going to make somebody famous if they even think about putting pork in the bill? We all know how much pork was in the $700 billion bailout package. And why did he vote for it? And I asked him pretty direct questions and some of the answers you guys are going to receive, you know, they appalled me, absolutely. You know, I was angry. In fact, I wanted to get off the bus after I talked to him.

GLENN: Really?

JOE THE PLUMBER: Oh, yeah.

GLENN: Why didn’t you get off the bus?

JOE THE PLUMBER: Honestly because the thought of Barack Obama becoming President scares me even more.

GLENN: Okay. Now, let me just —

JOE THE PLUMBER: I almost —

GLENN: Let me play devil’s advocate here and let me play the New York Times, except I’ll be fair. Isn’t that part of the problem, Joe, that people will sell out their values because they will say, “No, well, I just don’t want that; so I’ll take this, I’ll settle for this.” Isn’t that the problem with our system of government right now is we’ve settled for so long, we keep getting something that we don’t want and it just gets worse and worse and worse.

JOE THE PLUMBER: Well, and that’s exactly right. I mean, you know, hopefully I wasn’t too big a proponent of that, this — what do you call it — tripping post, if you will. There isn’t somebody. Neither campaign put out a — no, I’m not going to speak for the Democrats but I mean, the Republicans didn’t put out a candidate for us to really vote for. It’s the lesser of two evils. When you get to that level, you’ve compromised your principles, you’ve compromised your values so often and you owe your soul to whatever special interest group or lobbyist has padded your campaign finances and everything else that you no longer are your own man. So you can no longer stand on your own feet because they’ve been cut out from underneath you years ago.

GLENN: What did you think of Sarah Palin?

JOE THE PLUMBER: Sarah Palin’s absolutely the real deal. You know, I only got to spend a short amount of time with her but, you know, it was been asked if I felt any presence when I was with John McCain or Barack Obama. You know, with Sarah Palin, I don’t want to say I felt a presence but she definitely had energy and she definitely went to work for American people, and it disgusts me on how often they try to bash her just for her sincerity. It’s just, you know, she really wants to work for America and I mean, I wish people would listen to her and let them, and let her work for us. You know, she wants to serve us. She’s not looking for power.

Joe knows.

Well well well…it seems Bill Ayers (unapologetic terrorist)…the man Barack Obama said was just “a guy in my neighborhood”…is now saying that he and Obama are “family friends”. Read here.

Ayers: Obama was ‘family friend’
New afterword to 2001 book, Ayers describes Barack Obama as ‘family friend’

November 13, 2008

BY KARA SPAK and ABON PALLASCH Staff Reporters

In a new afterword to his 2001 book, Bill Ayers, former leader of the 1960s radical group Weather Underground, describes President-elect Barack Obama as a “family friend” and denies he wished his group had set off more bombs in the 1960s.

Ayers, a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, adds few new details about his relationship with Obama in the afterword to Fugitive Days: Memoirs of an Anti-War Activist. The book is being reissued this month.

“We had served together on the board of a foundation, knew one another as neighbors and family friends, held an initial fund-raiser at my house, where I’d made a small donation to his earliest political campaign,” he writes.

So – 52% of voters were duped.
Well….that would actually be a smaller percentage than 52%, since there were some that never heard of the Obama/Ayers issue, and still others who refused to live up to their responsibilities as voters and investigate everything they can about the candidates.

Either way – over at Confederate Yankee, they’ve posted this note to the “52″ percent:

Dear 52,

It seems the man you entrusted with your vote lied about his relationship with domestic terrorist and attempted mass murderer Bill Ayers.

Many of you either didn’t hear about Ayers, or accepted Obama’s evolving explanations that Ayers was “just a guy in his neighborhood,” or someone that he thought had gone through some sort of terrorist rehabilitation—perhaps at the Yasser Arafat wing of the Betty Ford Clinic.

But now that Ayers has come out and admitted that their relationship is very close—”family friends” is how he put it—how does that make you feel?

I ask, becuase as Malcolm once explained, you’ve been hoodwinked. You’ve been had. You’ve been took. You’ve been led astray, led amok. You’ve been bamboozled.

You’ve been conned in to voting the family friend of a known terrorist into the White House.

How does that make you feel?

My guess is…they don’t care.
Or at least…they will not care until the disillusionment begins…which will not take long.

Well, I suppose I cannot be too surprised that the FEC is going to just punt on the subject of the massive and (documented) illegalities of the Obama fund-Raising Machine. He has skated along with everything else in his campaign. Whether it was the highly questionable associates he palled around with and pulled strings for. The massive voter fraud perpetrated by the likes of ACORN, who were partially funded with $800,000 by the Obama campaign. The crooked deals with Rezko. As well as all of his past history that was buried, such as his school records, state Senate records, birth certificate and the Annenberg Project funny money funneling.

What makes it worse is that since McCain took public campaign funds, he is the only one subject to an audit, since that is triggered automatically by any candidate who uses public funds. A truly sickening irony.

From NewsMax:

The Federal Election Commission is not likely to conduct a potentially embarrassing audit of Barack Obama’s record-breaking fundraising campaign despite allegations of questionable donations and accounting.

That’s the disclosure from Politico.com, which reports that Obama will probably escape scrutiny in large part because unlike John McCain, he declined to accept $84 million in public financing.

Accepting that money automatically triggers an audit, meaning that the FEC is obligated to thoroughly audit the McCain campaign’s coffers, which will take months and cost McCain millions to defend.

Another factor that will discourage an Obama audit by the FEC is the sheer size of his fundraising haul — more than $650 million — which minimizes the significance of any errors.

“If a House campaign makes a $100,000 error, that’s huge and they’re likely to get audited,” David Mason, a former GOP appointee to the FEC, told Politico.

“If a campaign the size of the Obama campaign has a $100,000 error, then maybe not.”

Another factor: The FEC is comprised of three Democrats and three Republicans, and “is prone to deadlock on partisan issues,” such as “approving a messy and high-profile probe of a sitting president,” the Web site observed.

Emphasis mine.

So, just because the campaign’s total haul was so large, that is used as an excuse to do nothing? That is like saying that since Criminal X has robbed the local bank 23 times in the last year, we do not want to waste the time and manpower to actually investigate and arrest him? Because his “haul” was too big?

Only in today’s world.

Also, why in the heck are there three Democrats on the SEC board? After eight years of a Republican administration, you would think that the GOP would at the very least, have the majority there. You can bet that those three GOPers will be gone come January 20, 2009.

So much for the “New Tone”.

You know, when I see things like the image to right, (hat tip: Michelle Malkin) the fake Obama Presidential seal from a few months ago, the painting over of the American flag on Obama’s campaign plane, the refusal to place his hand over heart when the National Anthem is played or to even wear something as simple as an American flag lapel…I am reminded of the bar scene in the Star Trek episode, “The Trouble With Tribbles”.

For any of you who have not seen it, the scene is like this. A Klingon officer is lounging in Space Station K-7′s bar with some of his fellow comrades. He starts shoveling out a steady stream of insults about the Enterprise’s crew, the Captain and the starship itself to a few of the Enterprise crew, who are also present at the bar.

After running down the crew with such mildly insulting terms such as comparing Earthers (the term to describe Terrans in the Star Trek universe) to the soft and shapeless, “Regulan Bloodworm”, he then starts in on Capt. Kirk with a steady diet of insulting descriptions such as calling him a “Danebian slime devil”.

And as the capper and the the pier de resistance to this little drunken tirade, he calls Kirk, “an overbearing, tin-plated dictator with delusions of godhood. But he’s not soft.”

Seems to me that the Klingon could have just as well have been talking about Obama.

As Rush Limbaugh would say that the Clinton administration was always in “campaign mode”, it looks like the Obama administration will always be in “fundraising mode”.

A new site registered with the TLD domain of www.change.gov is now the home of the Obama “Transition” website. However, it seems that such a site would not qualify for a .gov TLD.

(Hat tip to Michelle Malkin)

From Ed Morrisey

“The incoming administration technically has no status as a government organization or program until January 20, 2009. The “Office of the President-Elect” doesn’t exist within the government.”

Charles Wyble, CEO of Known Element Enterprises has filed a complaint about the GSA’s vetting process of the domain name. Read it here.

Also, it seems just a little more than coincidental that the company that is handling the hosting and site management is also the same one that ran his campaign site. Blue Digital. The same company that disabled AVS checks on credit card donations to the Obama campaign site, which allowed untold millions to flow into the campaign’s coffers.

For those that have gone through the site, here is a screenshot from the site that relates to the “America Serves” program that Obama has been pushing for several months.

(Thanks again to Michelle Malkin for the screenshot)

The text reads:

The Obama Administration will call on Americans to serve in order to meet the nation’s challenges. President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55, while at the same time promoting youth programs such as Youth Build and Head Start.

Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. (sarcasm off)

Ohio is now down to a 5pt Obama lead with 40% in.

The biggest surprise so far: Indiana. McCain only up 50%-49% with 88% reporting. Must have been a lot more ACORN fraud going on there then anybody realized.

The popular vote is extremely close (less than 300k votes). Consider that Bush won in 2004 by more than 4 million votes. If McCain wins the popular vote, what say you libs? Should McCain go to court and scream and stamp his feet like Gore did and start demanding recounts?

Hmmm??
