RNC Resolution: Support Core GOP Principles or get no GOP Support New Republican Resolution

This new National GOP resolution came to me from my local Tulsa County GOP. The resolution tells Republican candidates to "Standby by the platform or we will not support you."

If you are interested in how the Republican platform includes the U.S. Constitution, you will find it here.
If you want to know why the following resolution came about, read Dede Scozzafava race in the NY23rd.
After enraged Americas pounded Republicans for their support of the wrong candidate in NY23, and their early jump to support Florida governor, Charlie Crist for the U.S. Senate, this resolution was needed.

RESOLUTION CONCERNING PARTY SUPPORT OF CANDIDATES

WHEREAS, the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee have recently supported primary or special election candidates who professed allegiance to the Republican Party but who, as their circumstances changed and to serve their own interests, turned against the Republican Party and became or supported a candidate of another party; and

WHEREAS, many Republican leaders and Republican organizations were undermined and lost credibility as a result of the actions of such candidates; and

WHEREAS, there will be many more decisions regarding the support of candidates, and many more opportunities to enhance or diminish the credibility of Republicans and Republican organizations, in the coming election cycle; now therefore be it

RESOLVED, that the Republican National Committee urges its leadership and the leadership of all Republican organizations to carefully screen the record and statements of all candidates who profess to be Republicans and who desire the support of Republican leaders and Republican organizations, and determine that they wholeheartedly support the core principles and positions of the Republican Party as expressed in the Platform of the Republican Party adopted at the 2008 National Convention; and be it further

RESOLVED, that the Republican National Committee urges that no support, financial or otherwise, be given to candidates who clearly do not support the core principles and positions of the Republican Party as expressed in the Platform of the Republican Party adopted in the 2008 National Convention.

Adopted by the Republican National Committee, January 29, 2010

Florida Dr. Jack Cassell Treats No Obama Voters: Alan Grayson is Disgusted.

Dr. Jack Cassell says he prefers not to treat patients who voted for Barack Obama. A sign on the door says "changes to your health care begin right now, not in four years." Florida Rep. Alan Grayson says he is "disgusted," and suggests the Republican Party change their name to "The Sore Loser Party."

Dr. Jack Cassell

But here is the real story: Cassell said he is not turning patients away:

"that would be unethical, but if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it." 

Dr. Cassell, 56,  is a urologist in Mount Dora, Florida. Cassell made the message clear, but the Left is musing about what might happen to him under the law. A bioethics professor at the University of Florida's College of Medicine said Allen cannot refuse patients on the basis of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or disability, but political persuasion is not legally protected. However, the professor says Cassell is "pushing the limit." What is that the professor does not understand about no patients being refused treatment?

Dr. Cassell's practice is allegedly in a "GOP-dominated" Lake County, near Orlando, and he says he does not quiz his patients about their politics, but "won't hide his disdain for the bill Obama signed and the lawmakers who passed it." I love that sign!

Obama Rallys for Martha: Dems Blame Bush for Martha's Failure: Kennedy Calls Martha Marcia

You know, it's not just the Democrat leadership. It's the Dems that follow these politicians around - like at the Obama rally for Martha today in Boston. As the audience left, Felicia Sonmez tells us:

"the consensus was that the fault for Coakley's now-floundering Massachusetts Senatorial bid lies with one person - George W. Bush.

 Poor guy, this President of ours:

he works 36 hours a day - to solve these problems that he inherited."

Rep. Patrick Kennedy, the son of Ted and Joan Kennedy was there. He mingled with the crowd after...talked a lot about Marcia Martha. The woman is so inconsequential in the state, that Patrick "repeatedly" referred to her as Marcia! Enjoy the comments on NationalJournal post. Thanks David for the heads up.

Scott Brown Brown-out?: Coakley Wants Catholics out of ERs

Republican Scott Brown has surged ahead by 4 points over Democrat opponent, Martha Coakley, in the race for the people's seat in the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts. Pollster David Paleologos says "It's a Brown-out." Coakley, that woman who has been so hateful to the Ladies of the Garden Clubs, believes devout Catholics should not work in hospital Emergency Rooms. See a video below.

This from FOXNation:

Although Brown’s 4-point lead over Democrat Martha Coakley is within the Suffolk University/7News survey’s margin of error, the underdog’s position at the top of the results stunned even pollster David Paleologos.

“It’s a Brown-out,” said Paleologos, director of Suffolk’s Political Research Center. “It’s a massive change in the political landscape.”

The poll shows Brown, a state senator from Wrentham, besting Coakley, the state’s attorney general, by 50 percent to 46 percent, the first major survey to show Brown in the lead. Unenrolled long-shot Joseph L. Kennedy, an information technology executive with no relation to the famous family, gets 3 percent of the vote. Only 1 percent of voters were undecided.

About those garden clubs:

The local clubs quietly maintain traffic islands, town halls, libraries and veterans’ hospitals across the state. Most take in about $5,000 to $10,000 a year in annual dues and plant sales, Smith said.

Newt Gingrich Top Contender for 2012? GOP - Don't Even Think About It

Newt Gingrich believes he is one of the top contenders for the Republican candidate in the 2012 presidential race. This tells me that Newt will now take a hiatus from writing and hawking books.

I was huge fan of Newt's brilliant brain until around April 2007 when I decided I would never vote for Newt, unless I was forced to do so, just as I so reluctantly voted for John McCain in 2008. Is Newt capable of standing up to Democrats and fearlessly point out the absurd? I don't think so.

I echo Senator Jim DeMint. "We need some new Republicans!"

“I need some new Republicans, people who believe in constitutional government, a balanced budget and liberty and so I’m out across the country recruiting new republicans who I think if they get here will not only challenge the institutions of government but be willing to even challenge the Republican Party and our leadership if they feel like we’re going in the wrong direction. I think just a handful of new Republicans in the senate could help change the direction.”

Newt is much of what DeMint lays out: Newt believes in constitutional government, balanced budgets and liberty, but Newt also loves to reach across the aisle and he values his friendships across the aisle, more than he values sound thought.

I have seen and heard Newt embrace Democrats as credible representatives for America far too many times. We need new Republicans who will not view Democrats as credible representatives, because the party no longer represents the Founding documents. It is that simple.

A few days after I wrote my first rant about Newt's character failures, Thomas Sowell states:

"Only where it counts -- in Washington -- are conservatives tongue-tied."

Newt is never tongue-tied when he appears on O'Reilly, Hannity or Greta, but when he is outside the FOX family, we cannot count on him to not extend his hand across the aisle to the worst of Congress. Whether it is John Kerry or Hillary Clinton, Newt is old politics. He cannot retrain his brilliant brain. He wants to scoop everyone up in his warm political embrace. That will not work when we face off against Democrats in 2012.

It takes a lot of energy, and causes a lot of pain to write about once-heroic Republicans, now turned to damaged goods. Doing so gives me a monumental headache. So I'm reposting the following thoughts about the Gingrich and Kerry, specifically about the debate on the environment, but in general, the overall problem with Newt. He spoke of his long relationship with the Senator and the extreme mental accuity of John Kerry. Really, did we need to hear that from one our leading Republicans, especially when the argument about the environment was, already back in 2007, obviously rife with fraud?

You see, Newt wants to have "interesting dialog;" he wants to discuss "market oriented science," and that's all well and good – it’s a discussion this country needs to have, but the Left intends to bring America to its knees on this issue, fueled by the elite's quest for even more wealth, by manipulating the everyday habits of industrious Americans.

The Left has no interest in entrepreneurial-endeavors that expose the folly of carbon offsets and such. Newt, we watch you on talk shows, read your books - listen to your every word. You tamp-down Democrat strategists with the ease of picking lint. You are tough and calmly aggressive until...until...you pair up with an elected politician.

Those leading, shaping and interpreting public policy should not shine a light on personal friendships. When you do, we angst over it, for recent history has not been kind to trusting Republicans who, daily, watch the unthinkable parade in front of us.

We are not asking you to abandon the fine art of gentlemanship, but we are asking you to be fearless in revealing the absurd...

We want our finest conservatives to take-on "taking" the Left. We want our conservative leaders to call them out, one-by-one, these rude, mean-spirited, and dishonest politicians. If you personally like the Left, fine - just don't tell us about your buddyship until today’s dire issues have the opportunity to be settled by conservative measures. Then you can tell us how fine Senator John Kerry and his cohorts may be.

On a personal level, I concede that you think John Kerry is a swell guy, but when you “speak” such validation – out-loud, it hurts the conservative movement because the fence-sitter moderates look for the easy way out, and the Democrat strategists quote you, just as they did when you personally validated Hillary Clinton a few years ago.

It only makes sense that we need every honest advantage, and praising the Left, when it’s not necessary, is to put your debate at risk. The problem is, conservative debate is just too proper and vulnerable when up against political friendships.

My message to all conservatives in the public arena today: Taking pride in the conservative nature of accord just gets us into trouble. It doesn't work anymore. Don't even think of telling us that you cannot bring yourself "down" to their level - that you will not stoop that low. Find a way to deal with these people. You're either the person for the job or you’re not.

If Gingrich does declare for the 2012 race, he will suck every dollar the GOP has from the race. The Grand Old Party is hungry for Newt. They think he is a sure thing. Wake up. Support someone outside the Beltway network, because that is our plan.

Take a look at other discussions about Newt and the 2012 elections, and let me know what you think.

Majority Would Vote Against Obama: Poll Shows No Vote for Obama

The Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll shows that 50% of voters would vote against Barack Obama if the 2012 election were held today.

...poll shows 50% say they would probably or definitely vote for someone else.

Fully 37% say they would definitely cast a ballot against Obama.

Meanwhile, just 39% would vote to re-elect the pres. to a 2nd term,

...only 23% say they definitely would do so.

There is no good news for the President in this report.

Quote of the Day Scott Brown: Massachusetts Brown Its Not the Kennedy Seat, Its the Peoples Seat

Scott Brown (R-Mass), running for the U.S. Senate, takes an opportunity that must come up hundreds of times a day in the state> (see a video below)

"with all due respect, it is not the Kennedy seat and it is not the Democrat seat, it is the people's seat."

I haven't written about Brown thus far, but I have read a lot, and contributed to his campaign - even though I'm out here in the mid-south heartland. The election is just days away, so below the video you'll find links to some good information on the man - including the fact that Brown drives a truck with 200,000 miles on it.


Scott Brown (D-Mass) "It's the people's seat" (video)
The video above is courtesy of Vanderleun at The American Digest, who said of the comment "with all due respect, it is not the Kenney seat and it is not the Democrat seat, it is the people's seat:"

How golden is this phrase? Let's just say it's the equivalent of finding a nugget the size of a donkey's scrotum on your first day in the gold fields...and...let a thousand billboards bloom!

A snippet from Mass Resistance:

On the Tom and Todd show this morning (WRKO AM680), Bill Hudak (Republican candidate for Mass. Sixth Congressional Dist., North Shore) called in with a great anecdote on the Brown-Coakley debate last night.

Maine Police have endorsed Scott Brown, but Democrats will delay election certification to keep the critical vote against health care from bringing down Obama's house. Read the details at Frugal Cafe Blog Zone.

This from Opus 6 at MAINFO via geeeeeZ. Donation information here and this plea:

Fight the SEIU and Demcare corruption. Help do the job the national GOP fund-raising organizations won’t do. Support Scott Brown for Senate, Even if you don't Live in Massachusetts.

Sistertoldjah talks about why Sarah Palin would support Scott Brown, a Massachusetts centrist . A commenter there says "we want to change it from a THRONE to a seat!

Solomonia has Scott Brown's position on Israel and believes "supports of Israel will love it."

Nice Deb has more details on the debate last night - the one where Brown makes it clear the Senate seat is not "the Kennedy seat," and when he responded to Martha Coakley:

Coakley criticized Brown for supporting Bush-era tax cuts for higher-income people, saying, “He wants to go back to those Bush-Cheney policies that provide for the very wealthiest.”

Brown retorted, “You can run against Bush-Cheney, but I’m Scott Brown. I live in Wrentham. I drive a truck. And, yes, it’s 200,000 miles on it now. You’re not running against them. You’re running against me.”

 No Quarter points out that the Boston Herald has endorsed Brown, and made this comment intheir endorsement:

Are they content with a sweeping health care bill, now being negotiated behind closed doors by principals from only one political party? (So much for a new era of bipartisanship promised by our president.)

And are they prepared for the impact that bill will have on the health care industry in our own state, where we already insure 97 percent of our population.

MAF Freedom PAC endorses Brown:

"Scott Brown has been committed to our troops and demonstrated that he understands the importance of our missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is a veteran of the U.S Army National Guard where he holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel."

“Martha Coakley doesn’t understand our troops; she doesn’t understand our mission; and like Obama seems to value the terrorist’s rights even more than our own national security. She believes they should be given the constitutional rights that only a U.S citizen deserves!”

TeresaAmerica takes the Brown-Coakley debate about national security a step further and notes Coakley's frequent discomfort when up against a tough issue:

I hope that her displaying emotions of being irritated when forced to answer tough questions from her opposition negatively impacts her campaign. If her feathers get ruffled whenever she is challenged by her opposition maybe she shouldn't be in the political arena.

And Flopping Aces says "Holy Crap! Scott Brown is Soaring. Take a look at the the $1 million dollars raised in ONE DAY.

Doug Hoffman Republicans Overreached?

U.S. News and World Report's Religion section says that "political analysts" view the Owens-Hoffman_Scozzafava debacle in New York's 23rd District as a failed result for Republicans because Republicans "overreached," by abandoning Dede Scozzafava, who has never been a true Republican, and supporting Doug Hoffman (for 3 days), who then lost to a Democrat - the first time in more than a century.

Republicans

Don't they wish that were the case. The truth is, Liberals understand that Doug Hoffman lost by a miniscule margin, after receiving no backing, monetary or endorsements, from the GOP, and had two opponents against him until the weekend before the election when Scozzafava quit the race - and then endorsed the Democrat.

While Liberals "get it," although they won't admit it, GOP leaders are less clear. Can it be that the heart of the party, the voters, do not want party leadership choosing our candidates? Can it be that voters want true conservatives to have a chance in the primaries before the GOP starts announcing their endorsements? Well it can be, and as Newt Gingrich finally admitted after his careless hawking for Scozzafava, "the age of party leaders picking people is over." 

U.S. News and World Report's Dan Gilgoff points out some interesting dynamics in the race to unearth conservative candidates:

(1) Charlie Crist and Marco Rubio - Florida: 

The ongoing tensions are on clearest display in Florida, where Gov. Charlie Crist, facing the more conservative Marco Rubio, a former Florida House speaker, in the primary for an open U.S. Senate seat. The National Republican Senatorial Committee, the GOP's senate campaign arm, has endorsed Crist, while Rubio is pitching himself as the grass roots' choice. "The conservatives are the ones being purged from the party," says Rubio, who claims the national senatorial committee has scared off potential donors, though the group denies it.

 (2) Carly Fiorina and Chuck DeVore - California:

A similar battle is underway in California, where former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, who supports abortion rights, is fighting state legislator Chuck DeVore, an abortion-rights foe, for the party's nomination for U.S. Senate. An adviser to John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, Fiorina is receiving fundraising support from McCain and other establishment types. DeVore hails from Orange County, a bastion of conservative Christian activism and is a fixture on the tea party circuit, whose economic conservatives are helping fuel bids to take on establishment candidates.

 (3) Phyllis Schlafly and Sen. Bob Bennett - Utah:

In Utah, meanwhile, a longtime "pro-family" activist endorsed by Christian right icon Phyllis Schlafly is among the conservatives running against Republican Sen. Bob Bennett. Cherilyn Eagar says her state's tradition of picking nominees by convention makes it easier for her to benefit from the support of activists, including religious conservatives. "Bennett's version of national healthcare had a provision requiring insurance companies to supply abortions," she says. "I find that reprehensible in a state that is highly pro-life."

 It took Sarah Palin's endorsement of Doug Hoffman to grab the attention of voters outside of New York City. Gingrich hit back hard at Palin, saying that a win by anyone other than Scozzafava would result in Nancy Pelosi being "speaker for life." Most conservatives would rather lose the seat, than entrench another Olympia Snowe or Richard Lugar in the party. We've learned our lessons. So Gingrich had to go to bed knowing that the RINO he supported [Dede Scozzafa], asked her followers to cast their vote for the Democrat. Bitter, bitter lesson. And even after all that, Hoffman lost by only a small margin. Just think what could have happened had the GOP abandoned politics-as-usual and looked around for a real conservative. No, it wasn't "overreaching," it was an awakening. Thank you Sarah Palin.

Doug Hoffman NY23 Ballots Errors Updated: NY23 Doug Hoffman Uncounted Ballots?

What if Doug Hoffman was the winner in the NY23rd House race, and not David Owen? The short story here is that "errors in the vote count have narrowed" between Democrat David Owens and Conservative Doug Hoffman in the special election for the U.S. House of Representatives in New York's 23rd District. It's interesting to note that David Owens has already been sworn into the House and voted yea for Nancy Pelosi's Health Care bill, after promising constitutients he would vote no.

From Syracuse.com:

Washington -- Conservative Doug Hoffman conceded the race in the 23rd Congressional District last week after receiving two pieces of grim news for his campaign: He was down 5,335 votes with 93 percent of the vote counted on election night, and he had barely won his stronghold in Oswego County.

As it turns out, neither was true.

In Oswego County, where Hoffman was reported to lead by only 500 votes with 93 percent of the vote counted election night, inspectors found Hoffman actually won by 1,748 votes -- 12,748 to 11,000.

At least 7,178 absentee ballots were turned in, and 10,200 mailed out, with Hamilton district yet to report. These ballots will be counted to determine the winner in this race. According to this report, "Federal and military absentee ballots have until Nov. 16th to be turned in." So what happens if Hoffman won, and conceded only because of the vote status he was given:

Conklin [Communications Director] said the state sent a letter to the House Clerk last week explaining that no winner had been determined in the 23rd District, and therefore the state had not certified the election. But the letter noted that Owens still led by about 3,000 votes, and that the special election was not contested -- two factors that legally allowed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to swear in Owens on Friday.

"We sent a letter to the clerk laying out the totals," Conklin said. "The key is that Hoffman conceded, which means the race is not contested. However, all ballots will be counted, and if the result changes, Owens will have to be removed."

 The Christian Science Montior (linked above) doesn't report quite that way.

 But what happens if Hoffman is certified the ultimate winner by the New York State Board of Elections? That’s up to the House of Representatives. The board of elections will certify the result at its December board meeting.

Broadly speaking, each house of Congress is in control of whom it admits to its membership. Hoffman conceded the election right away. So it was an easy call for the Democrats to swear in Owens, based on the election results reported by the board as of Nov. 5. But if Hoffman is certified as the winner, in all likelihood he would be allowed to take the seat.

Beyond the obvious intrigue of discovering the winner, is this question: Did Pelosi receive this order before the late Saturday night vote on Health Care? And who gave the Hoffman campaign erroneous results on election night.

Rahm Emanuel DeDe Scozzafava: Rahm Calls DeDe: Scozzafava Owens Endorsement Follows

Rahm Emanuel, President Obama's Chief-of-Staff called-up DeDe Scozzafava and according to Darrell Issa, her endorsement of Democrat Owens followed. The question is: what did Dems offer to RINO Republican, Ms. Scozzafava? I have an idea about that.

Darrell Issa

The Hill reports this from Issa:

Just hours before [Scozzafava] endorsed the Democrat, she received calls from Barack Obama's chief of staff Rahm Emanuel. She also received calls from the Chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Senator Chuck Schumer," Issa wrote. "Was Scozzafava promised something in return for her endorsement of the Democrat? Time will tell."

I doubt that it would have taken much for Scozzafava to flip - in fact, maybe nothing. Revenge is sweet, but it must be even sweeter when the White House calls. For Rham Emanuel to call Scozzafava...that's a big deal. I suspect that Scozzafava has a czarship in her future, in return for the Owens endorsement.

Gateway Pundit reports on Patrick Gaspard, the White House ACORN czar, and his part in Scozzafava's flip. The story suggests that DeDe's husband, union organizer Ron McDougall, was "in talks months ago," with Democratic operatives about a switch to the Dem party. Read that story here.

Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) originally supported Scozzafava, but moved to Doug Hoffman's camp the day before Scozzafava exited left. Here's his statement:

Doug Hoffman is a Ronald Reagan conservative that has received endorsements from conservative leaders all over the country including conservative New York Republicans like former Governor George Pataki, but most important, he has the endorsement of conservative Republican voters in his own district," Issa said in his endorsement.

I have to wonder why Issa would have ever endorsed Scozzafava. There is nothing in her political background to bring a conservative to support her political philosophy.

My hope is that Scozzafava changes parties. As my husband so elegantly said, we don't need these people "who don't stand for crap."

RINO DeDe Scozzafava Quits NY23: Hoffman NRCC Funds Available? Scozzafavas Scuzzy Suggestion

RINO DeDe Scozzafava tearfully quit suspended the NY23 special election for New York's 23rd Congressional District. It begs the question, will the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) switch their big campaign contributions to conservative candidate Doug Hoffman? In a last attempt to desecrate conservatism, Scozzafava's scuzzy and subtle suggestion that her name will remain on the ballot and, although she is not in the race, voters can still cast a vote for her, is despicable.

Doug Hoffman

Scozzafava has a long-time liberal-leaning-performance as a Republican in New York. Hoffman is a business man who lives just outside the congressional district and says he was "redistricted out" of the voting area. His candidacy got a giant boost when former governor, Sarah Palin stepped in and supported him, over Newt Gingrich's foolish endorsement of Scozzafava. The sparks flew.

Endorsements for Hoffman have come from Governor Tim Pawlenty, former Governor George Pataki, former senators, Fred Thompson and Rick Santorum, Dr. James Dobson, Concerned Women for America, Club for Growth, Steve Forbes, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, The Minuteman PAC, Rep. Jeff Flake, and the Wholesale-Distributor PAC, among others.

The New York Post is endorsing Hoffman and says assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava:

"...is the product of an obscenely corrupt political bargain by GOP bosses that sells out their party - and New Yorkers generally....

And then comes the damning claims of Scozzafava's cozy relationship with socialists tied to ACORN:

With the backing of the ACORN-allied Working Families Party, she supports Big Labor's favorite organizing bill -- card-check -- as well as the federal stimulus, opposed by every House Republican.

Michelle Malkin has a column out on the Working Families Party.

Sounding just Democrat, DeDe's farewell message is a whine and devious message:

In recent days, polls have indicated that my chances of winning this election are not as strong as we would like them to be.

On Election Day my name will appear on the ballot, but victory is unlikely. To those who support me – and to those who choose not to – I offer my sincerest thanks.

Even in defeat Scozzafava's smary behavior continues. Rather than sincerely asking that her supporters switch their vote to conservative Doug Hoffman, she hints that votes can still be cast for her. Are her supporters really Republicans? The district yielded a 52% vote for Barack Obama in November 2008. Was that just a vote against Bush? Are her supporters RINOs too, who will cast their vote for Owens? Whatever the answer, Scozzafava should have said that a vote for Hoffman is the proper way to Republicans and her. In such an important contest, Scozzafava's subtle suggestion is unforgivably scuzzy.

In latest polling dated October 31, Siena shows Hoffman at 35%, Owens at 36% and Scozzafava 20%.

So RNC, can you hear us now? While Hoffman can still lose Tuesday's election to Democrat candidate David Owens, conservatives are sending the message that we will no longer tolerate RINO traitors. We will fund conservatism, and, Newt, we are willing to take the chance that Nancy Pelosi will be "Speaker for Life," in order to try to do the right thing for the future of our country and families.

Janeane Garofalo Beck Bachmann Limbaugh: Janeane Garofalo White Power Movement, Violence

Janeane Garofalo has found another way to say that whites in America are racist by naming white Obama critics as a "white power movement." She bashed whites for being "led" by "the Glenn Becks, the Michelle Bachmanns, the Rush Limbaughs," and accused teabaggers and 9-12ers of a "tacit nudging toward violence." Updates as available. See video below.

Janeane Garofalo

This time, Janeane puts up a buffer and says, of course, she is not talking about people who have policy differences - however, the people who do have policy differences are being "led" by Beck, Bachman, Limbaugh, et al. (NewsBusters quotes this lame libtard as saying "Limbow," which is I believe is where she spends most of her time these days).

Electorally, these white power people don't have their own party – maybe they will one day – so they are electorally-dependent on the Republicans.

According to this report in NewsBusters, Garofalo is distressed that "so few people are willing to say that yes it is racism, straight up racism...," This was:

...before confusing which party controlled segregationist southern states: “The Republican Party has been willing to carry water for racists in this country since about the 1950s.”

History has been so completely revised that perhaps Garofalo is innocent in her ignorance. Hall of Justice has some very concise commentary about the Republican Party:

The first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, took the nation to war for the cause of freedom. Republicans successfully executed the civil war and in response drafted the Constitutional amendments that, for the first time, gave African-Americans the right to vote, access to the justice system and equality under the law. It should be noted that these constitutionally guaranteed rights and privileges were curtailed by the Democrats and their allies on the federal and state judicial benches.

Many Democrats and liberals of today love to whitewash the history of the Republican Party or they speak of the Republican Party betraying its history. Nothing could be further from the truth... The Party worked with prominent African Americans such as Booker T. Washington to establish an efficient black workforce which in turn made up the backbone of the black economy.

The Party stood up for African Americans in the courageous fight against southern lynching, while success in the Democratic Party was measured by how much an individual opposed rudimentary civil rights for African Americans. While Republican Presidents, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge, were speaking against racial segregation and Jim Crow laws in the very heart of Dixie, the Democrats were marching arm in arm with their brethren in white sheets.

It's obvious to anybody who has eyes in this country that tea-baggers, the 9-12ers, these separatist groups that pretend that it's about policy – they are clearly white-identity movements. They're clearly white power movements. What they don't like about the President is that he's black – or half black (applause) – and they, what also is shocking is that people keep pretending that that's not really the case with these people.

Updates coming.

That Caller on Rush Today: Thought Nothing Could Surprise Me, but...

A caller on Rush Limbaugh today identified herself as an attorney who volunteered as a legal professional for G. W. Bush during the Bush-Kerry election.

Her job, along with others, was to monitor happenings at the polls: Were there any problems voting, or problems with the voting apparatus, etc.

Here's what she says happens behind the scenes:

1) When voters do not show up to vote, the poll workers "vote" the vote, In otherwords, they cast the vote for those who do not show up.

2) The list of absentee voters often doesn't make it to the polling venue. If a poll worker cannot check a voter against the absentee list, then it's possible for a voter to vote twice.

3) MoveOn.org is present both outside and inside the polling area. They are busy intimidating anyone working for the Republican side - and especially Republican females.

With no way to confirm that any of this is true, I can see it being true in some of the extremely partisan polling areas, but suffice it to say, Nos. 1 and 2 are terrible! We all probably think it cannot happen at our polling place, but...can it? Is it possible we are losing elections, not just Presidential but Congressional as well, through poll workers casting a vote for no-shows? Is this as shocking to you as it to me?
