Copper’: truer words were never spoken. This is how they built up their power base in the 80s and 90s; this is what will destroy them this century.

I certainly home the Donkey is standing and fighting against the “truthers” just the way most of us laugh at the “birther” conspiracy advocates.

The Democrats want town meetings to discuss health care.
The Republicans are frantically trying to stifle any such discussion.
So who’s acting in the most trustworthy way?

nomad, those are left wing conspiracy theories, they wonldn’t be in the same gang.
BTW, The Turner Diaries inspired OK city bombings.

We currently have the most evil and liberal president, house and senate in American History. They actually stole the election. The national debt that Obama has accumulated has the country in dire straits. A majority of the stimulus package went straight to liberal causes. Unemployment is at a all time high. Nothing is getting better, just worse.
Then the liberals, the media and Hollywood is acting like everything is great.
Obama thought out how to steal the election for himself and his fellow democrats.
Here is a listing of all the states with voter fraud through acorn.
Allegations of fraud
4.1 Connecticut
4.2 Florida
4.3 Indiana
4.4 Louisiana
4.5 Michigan
4.6 Minnesota
4.7 Missouri
4.8 Nevada
4.9 New Mexico
4.10 North Carolina
4.11 Ohio
4.12 Pennsylvania
4.13 Texas
4.14 Wisconsin
4.15 Virginia

When I was a kid the wild-eyed, purple faced, snarling wackos were called “the lunatic fringe.” Now we just call them Republicans/Libertarians/Teabaggers/anarchist wackos.

So will reason prevail and sensible health care reform will pass, or will the minority screamers prevail and insurance companies continue to reap huge profits for health care for profit?
DrCanuck said, 3 months ago
I’m betting on Big Insurance’s “useful idiots.” Reason and evidence is useless against the onslaught of emotion and belief.

Wow 77 you’ve got your facts nailed down, totally inaccurate but hey…

Strippy: A majority of the stimulus package went straight to liberal causes.
Hmmm… helping out people who need help, improving schools, saving the planet. As opposed to funding wars (which has killed countless innocents abroad), lining the pockets of the VP’s former business, supporting Big Oil, Big Business, Big Insurance, and the Big Pharmaceuticals.
OK… I recognize my overgeneralization, but do you?

I love how Striper first gave a list of “all the states with voter fraud through acorn”…and there were NO items in the list.
Then he gave a list of the ones with “allegations of fraud”, and listed 15.
Guess those allegations didn’t quite pan out for you, Striper?

Gee, Triper, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry…
Think I’ll laugh.
You one crazy sumbuck!

This means John McCain and Sarah Palin were born in Kenya?

Striper77,
You need to get over it as you told Democrats to get over 2000 and Al Gore and Florida, there was zero Voter Fraud either time. Bush 43 won Florida in 2000, and Obama won Florida in 2008.
Oh, Had Al Gore won Tennessee in 200, he would have Been President. You can do the math yourself. Subtract 11 form Bush43’s Electoral Votes and add them to Al Gore’s Electoral Votes, and Gore is President without Florida.
Also blame the Stupid Media when they called Florida for Gore when the polls were still opened in the Republican Heavy Western Florida Panhandle which a small sliver falls in the Central Time Zone. The Stupid Media all in their hurry to be 1st in announcing our Next President for the new Millennium, and went on the Location of the State Capital of Florida, Tallahassee, which falls in the Eastern Time Zone, to declare Gore winner an hour too soon.
The Idiot Media didn’t’ think didn’t think to look at their Trusty Time Zone Map which shows the Division of all Time Zones, had they done this, then they would have awaited until 08:01, EST, then they would have said Florida was too close to call, and we would not have had weeks of endless recounts.

Nomad,
In August 2001, Bush43 received an Official White House PDB informing him in the not to distant future, Osama was planning to use our Planes and fly them into our Buildings killing thousands of our citizens. Yes, Bush43 did indeed know about 9/11 before it occurred. He did not act to add tighter Security Measures at our Airports.
They have Official Security Airport Tape of one of the Airports where one of the ill fated flights originated. The Tape clearly shows a Security Screener taking Box Cutters from 4 Muslim Passengers. Then the tape shows this same screener run up to the 4 Muslims and hand their Box Cutters back to them.
Had Bush43 heeded the warning, he could have issued a directive for tighter Security Measures based on a viable threat he received. All he had to do was send a directive banning all Sharp objects form carry-on Luggage and on our person. This includes the following:
Box Cutters
Nail Clippers
Nail Files
Leatherman Tools
Pin Knives
Pocket Knives
Matches
Lighters
With the above list of items being banned, they would have been confiscated; it would also have been possible to detain the passengers carrying these items for further questioning.

77 the voter fraud you cite wasn’t real, kind of like the Obama Death Panels. Look into what action steps Acorn has actually taken regarding fraud and what laws they are obligated to follow when acccepting your registration. The number of indicments speaks for itself.

striper is not capable of rational though. Don’t waste your time trying.

What happen to my answer to strippy yesterday? Perhaps when I stated it just BS it was pulled. The part about VA is BS , I voted in that one and Dole blew it in NC when she went on a religious attack aginist her opponent.

Have you seen any of the behind the scenes of what is getting through the airports? A lot of the items you mentioned gets through quite a bit.
In all actuality if someone puts their mind to it, in which they do, they can get stuff through the check points.

You can start at Google. Acorn fraud 1.3 million web sites.
striper77 said, 3 months ago
Humphries,
I missed you statement yesterday. I am sure it was pleasant since it was removed.
Today you mentioned their was not voter fraud in NC and VA.
You can start at Google.
Virginia voter fraud 194K web sites.
North Carolina voter fraud 124k web sites.

Wasn’t in Gargantua that there was a judge who decided all his cases by stacking up the briefs submitted by both sides, and ruling in favor of whichever side had the bigger pile? Gosh, striper has finally figured out how to discover the truth of any question: count the number of hits Google brings up!
Wait a minute, wouldn’t a Google search of “Virginia voter fraud” pull up ALL the sites on BOTH sides of the allegation?
Oh well, I guess you still have to read the dang things, and evaluate the content.
striper77 said, 3 months ago
fritzoid
Like I said, that is a good place to start. It has information for both sides. The same as anything else out their.
You could find information on Obama as Satan himself, antichrist or a saint.
If your mind is all ready made up you are only going to consider whatever side you are on.
donbeco said, 3 months ago
77 Number of web references is meaningless in the pursuit of facts. Where,specifically, can I find the name(s)of any voter who cast an illegal vote? How many thousands of fraudlelent votes to accomplish what you claim? “Where’s the beef?”
