EXCERPT: This started as a comment to my article Tuppence - READ THIS.  There, I challenged My 2 Cents and Postman to describe the process by which a fraudulent voter registration could be parlayed into a fraudulent vote.  Their lame responses led to the comment below.
Because this is about to break as front page news, it's time to leave that dialogue with the low-info GOPhers and start afresh.
My 2 Cents & Postman -   Your silence is most...

EXCERPT: My wife received an email titled "Tech Support" and forwarded it to all her friends (and her hubby) along with the comment, "very creative, yet true." This is the text of the email:
INSTALLING A HUSBAND
Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many...

EXCERPT: History is our teacher. The Roman Empire lasted long enough and is well enough documented and studied to give us fair warning. While there are other empires, such as the British, that suggest the same conclusions, the Roman Empire is the greatest study among these.
The question: Is the handwriting on the wall of the coliseum indelible, or can we scrub it off and write a new lesson, a lesson of history and hope for our future generations?
Andrew Lahde, manager of a small California...

EXCERPT: So Sen. John McCain made the centerpiece of his presidential campaign Joe the Plumber. I'm not sure how many central themes this is, 5 or 6, but anyhoo, problems began to scurry out immediately. McCain's meme was that regular guys like Joe would get hit with higher taxes, and not work as hard.
Joe owes back taxes, which means whatever Joe is charged, he ain't paying anyhow.
Joe isn't a licensed Plumber.
Joe makes less than $250,000 meaning he'll get a tax break under Obama's plan.
The...

EXCERPT: According to the NYT:
An energized McCain, rallying supporters in Downingtown, Pa., reiterated his debate themes: He is independent of President Bush, he said, and Obama is a big-spending liberal who would harm small businesses.
"We can't spend the next four years as we've spent much of the last eight, waiting for our luck to change," McCain said. "As I mentioned last night to Sen. Obama, I'm not George Bush, and if he wanted to run against George Bush, he should have run four years...

EXCERPT: Just so we're operating from the same ACORN knowledge base,please read this, My 2 Cents:
CNN Leads Media Failure on ACORN Story
By Zachary Roth - October 14, 2008, 6:26PM
Another day, another effort by the McCain camp to seize the political advantage over the bogus issue of ACORN and voter fraud.
This morning, the campaign trotted out former Missouri Republican senator John Danforth -- playing on his reputation for bipartisanship -- to call on Barack Obama to "rein in ACORN."
Said...

EXCERPT: What debate? McCain’s crotchety, inarticulate, outta-touch Grampy performance sure looked like it was geared to holding his low-info base together rather than appealing to undecided voters -- where I come from, that’s called desperation! Joe, the plumber? That Ohio dude with the tax lien on his house?  Can he be located in any Toledo it coincidental that his surname is the same as that of Charles Keating’s son-in-law who was busted for fraud along...

EXCERPT: Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
 
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
 
So, that's what they decided to do.  The ten men drank in the bar...

EXCERPT: OK. So I watched the debate tonight and all I can say is yawn. McCain did just OK. But Obama did just OK too. I really didn't see anything in either one to say yes about.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not going to vote for Obama no matter what happens. He doesn't appeal to me in the least probably because I think. I don't make $250,000.00 a year yet. Close, but not quite. But I still fear Obama's tax raising plans, his idea of having our government more...

EXCERPT: The results are in, and Obama mopped the floor with McCain.     McCain did better this time around than he did in the second debate.  But, in his effort to be aggressive he was simply Old Man Shouting at Clouds!!    GoBama and Biden!  On to the White...
