The midterms are five days away. The democrats will,it seems more than likely,take what Granny used to call ‘a whuppin’. There is no conceivable way they won’t lose additional seats in the House. The big prize is the Senate,where they must retain control to continue to stop any attempt to rein in the power-mad buffoon squatting in the Spite House. Their doing so for the last six years will cost them dearly and rightly so. The only hope they have is to steal a few close elections. The only way they can accomplish this is fraud.
It is their stock in trade. It is as vital to them as water is to fish. It can be traced all the way back to Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall in the mid-1800’s. Here in Illinois stealing elections is a given. They don’t even bother to hide it anymore. Recall in 1960 when the contest was razor-thin between Nixon and Kennedy. Mayor Daley in a conspiracy with mobster Sam Giancana held back the vote totals from Cook County until it was learned how many votes Kennedy needed to carry Illinois and hence the election.
It has been a constant source of irritation to me knowing that Harry Reid blatantly stole his election from Sharron Angle in 2010 by carrying one county…Clark. It’s the largest county in a state where he is reviled to this day and deservedly so. He was down 4 points the morning of election day and won by 6 points. That the SEIU,those compassionate thugs,”maintained” the machines in that county so they could be pre-loaded with votes that could then be scrubbed is merely coincidental. In 2012 polling places all over Philadelphia,among other predominately black precincts, locked republican poll watchers out and forced them to get a court order to gain entrance. By then the phony votes had been tallied and deleted.
They will be grabbing phony,illegal votes with both hands trying to stave off annihilation. Let’s hope they fail.
PREVIEW OF NEXT WEDNESDAY’S HEADLINE
Grunt:you posted about vote fraud in Maryland as I was doing this post.Thats scary.
The Big Role of Black Churches in Two Senate Races
Data from two states that permit Sunday early voting, Georgia and North Carolina, show that 53 percent of the 25,000 early votes cast on Sunday were from black voters, compared with 27 percent of early voters across the two states since voting began for this year’s midterm elections.
“Souls to the Polls” drives are a big part of the explanation. Black churches often promote voting after services, sometimes even taking church members directly to the polls. Such drives are traditionally most popular on the Sunday before an election, when black turnout might be even higher than it was on Sunday.
A good portion of these voters would have probably cast ballots anyway. But given the margins that Democrats run up on Sundays, it is not hard to see why so many Republican election officials have sought to restrict early voting on Sundays.
That way they can still get in a van and go vote in other precincts on election day.Its what they do.
HOW ABOUT WE HAVE A CO-ORDINATED EFFORT BY CATHOLICS AND EVANGELICALS TO BUS PEOPLE ON SUNDAY?
WE COULD CALL IT “WHITES TO THE FIGHT” OR SOMETHING.YEAH,THAT’LL WORK

VOTER FRAUD DENIERS RESURFACE JUST IN TIME FOR THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS

<img src="
Rachel Maddow, the heavyweight over at the pseudointellectual sewage tank of MSNBC – complete with nerd glasses for everyone but Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz! – says that voter fraud doesn’t exist.
“The scourge of voter fraud,” Maddow writes at MSNBC.com, “is largely imaginary.” Her source for this extraordinary claim: a study by Loyola University Law School professor Justin Levitt, who claimed that he had found just 31 instances of voter fraud out of “more than 1 billion ballots” cast. Of course, Levitt’s study looked only at in-person voter fraud. It didn’t look at absentee voting; in the 2010 midterms, 15.6 percent of all ballots cast were absentee.

MU poll has Walker leading Burke, with turnout still key
The homeless votes in Milwaukee and Madison cost a pack of cigarettes.
The big unknown between now and election day, said Franklin, is whether turnout efforts by the two parties have the potential to shift the makeup of the electorate. Democrats have won the past two presidential races in Wisconsin but lost the last two races for governor, in part because of turnout factors; Democrats tend to have more voters who show up in presidential years but drop off in other contests.

In attempting to explain her two-year work hiatus in the early to mid-1990s, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke has said she was just burned out after an intense period of leading European operations for Trek Bicycle Corp., her family’s Waterloo-based global manufacturer.
In fact, Burke apparently was fired by her own family following steep overseas financial losses and plummeting morale among Burke’s European sales staff, multiple former Trek executives and employees told Wisconsin Reporter.

Democrats Accused Of Posing As Republican Election Judges In Colorado

Boulder County GOP Chairwoman Ellyn Hilliard initially raised the alarm when visiting polling locations where she didn’t recognize some of the GOP judges who are tasked with comparing voter signatures on mail ballots to protect against vote fraud.
She became alarmed when she noticed some ballots whose signatures clearly didn’t match those on file for the voter being accepted.
“One of them was a Democrat who had changed party affiliation on Oct. 10, so we are concerned that Boulder didn’t follow the list, then resorted to advertising for these positions,” she told the paper.

Time learned that Biden spent four vacation nights at the Brinkerhoff Lodge, part of the Grand Teton National Park. He had no public events on the schedule and spent those four days with his wife and 11 other family members.
The National Park Service restricts the cabin to “official purposes,” but Time found that the agency expanded that definition to allow for vacations as long as some official business is involved. In some cases, the “official business” only included a briefing from park staff or a few local events.

Sorry, But Media Coverage of Pope Francis is Papal Bull
By Elizabeth Dias – Oct. 29, 2014
http://time.com/3545844/pope-francis-evolution-creationism/
The OMG-Pope-Francis-Supports-Evolution story of the past two days is just the latest example. Almost every news outlet, major and minor, has plastered Pope Francis’ name across the interwebs and proclaimed he has finally planted the Catholic Church in the evolution camp of the creation-evolution debate. The only problem? Almost every outlet has got the story wrong, proving once again that the mainstream media has nearly no understanding of the Church. And that madness shows no signs of stopping.
Pope Francis’ real role in this evolution hubbub was small. He spoke, as Popes do, to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences on Monday, which had gathered to discuss “Evolving Topics of Nature,” and he affirmed what Catholic teaching has been for decades. “God is not a divine being or a magician, but the Creator who brought everything to life,” he said. “Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.”

I was never a fan of monster or horror movies that didn’t have Abbott and Costello or the Three Stooges. I figure, there’s enough horror and monsters in the Real World:
Among the most profound stages of human development is when, somewhere around age three to five (on average for normal minds) a child makes his or her first moral choice, truly choosing Self versus Other, or Right v Wrong, for the first time. The child has left the innocence of the Garden. It’s at that point that the Spirit really has something substantial to work with in encouraging the young mortal ascender to make choices that lead Paradiseward.
So, naturally, this means “post birth abortions” are just fine with some college students (among others).
I believe this same logic can be extended. Since the human mind does not finish growing until the 20s (IIRC), parents should have the option to “terminate” up to that age. And you could probably find folks who wouldn’t argue with that or recognize it as sarcasm.
