Obama is Toast Marathon V3.62436

Doin’ tha Bump.  The Toast Marathons are getting more hits lately.  Woo Hoo!

Heeeeerrrrrreeeeee’s Toasty!

Healthy Ridicule:

Here was our favorite line from Mitt Romney’s convention speech: “President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet. My promise is to help you and your family.”

We liked it even better when we saw that the New York Times’s Nicholas Kristof had tweeted: “Seriously, Romney’s speech esp troubled me by mocking rising seas/climate change. The dismissiveness was appalling.” Gaia is a jealous Goddess, and She will not be mocked!

It actually hadn’t occurred to us that the Romney line was a repudiation of global warmism. If so, that’s lagniappe. What we enjoyed was the deft way in which Romney punctured Obama’s self-aggrandizement–by quoting his most immodest promise ever, pausing for effect, then making an almost comically modest promise of his own.

Get off of my (Oval Office) Lawn:

Ryan left the liberals Cryin’:

Mamma Mia! I love Mia Love:

Glenn Reynolds mentioned that there was a very high quality speech that was lost in the sea of other conservative celebrities… he recommended we watch it.  I agree.  Well worth five minutes.  Nice job Ms. Edmonds:

Ouchie: Rasmussen Daily tracking poll has Romney up by 3 points.

Apparently the Democrats in Charlotte have B.O. (Barack Obama): Hillary Clinton to stay as far as possible away from the Democrat Convention.
WOO HOO! Occupy RNC ends in tears and frustration!

This is not the Tweet of a Confident Man:

New Florida poll shows vindication of Eastwood Strategy

1,211 adults were interviewed statewide 08/31/12, after Romney, Florida’s Marco Rubio and Clint Eastwood spoke to the convention 08/30/12. Of the adults, 1,100 were registered to vote in Florida. Of the registered voters, 754 heard the convention speeches. Of the convention speech watchers:

* 66% did not change their mind.
* 16% switched from “undecided” to Romney.
* 6% switched from Obama to Romney.
* Adding those 2 together, that’s 22% who switched TO Romney.
* 10% switched from “undecided” to Obama.
* 2% switched from Romney to Obama.
* Adding those 2 together, that’s 12% who switched TO Obama.
* Comparing the 2 aggregate numbers: 22% switched TO Romney, 12% switched TO Obama.

Some Anti-Obama signs freaking out people.  In Massachusetts, no less:

Voter Fraud and the Collapse of Democrat Registration in Florida.

That’s all for today.  Obama’s toast, y’all.

In Fraud We Trust

It appears that we have a liberal (see comment section) running around parroting the Voter Disenfranchisement Lie.  He’s the same fellow who made the same claim here but couldn’t quite bring himself to address the facts.

I have bad news for Mr. Drugs.   I found another doozey for him to ignore…. a new book detailing the depth and scale of need for voter identification laws.  To wit:

Who’s Counting? treats readers to a trove of actual facts about the tactics of fraudsters, along with lucid explanations of the relevant legal issues. By way of illustration, we learn that a Pew Center study published in February 2012 found that 1.8 million dead people are still on state rolls of registered voters, and 2.75 million voters are registered in more than one state. Small wonder, then, that a Rasmussen poll found 82 percent of Americans — including 67 percent of African-Americans and 67 percent of Democrats — “supported requiring that voters prove their identity before voting.”

In addition, the authors explain that the Supreme Court and lower federal courts have consistently upheld voter identification laws. The charge that reasonable identification requirements are somehow illegal or unconstitutional is utterly baseless. Nevertheless, and despite well-documented evidence of fraud and abuse in numerous states and localities, “only 17 states require some form of documentation in order to vote.”

>snip<

Most examples of actual vote fraud presented in the book involved Democrats, but Fund and von Spakovsky are prudently sensitive to charges of partisanship, and they address the issue forthrightly. “Voter fraud occurs both in Republican strongholds such as Kentucky hollows and Democratic bastions such as south Texas.” Moreover, when Republicans “operated political machines… they were fully capable of bending — and breaking — the rules.” Still, as Larry Sabato has noted, “Republican-base voters are middle-class and not easily induced to commit fraud,” and the inner city populations that “appear to be available and more vulnerable to an invitation to participate in vote fraud tend to lean Democratic.”

For the enlightenment of skeptics, the book provides detailed descriptions of numerous vote fraud enterprises, and they are by no means limited to big city political machines. The authors acquaint us with fraud that perpetuated the power of local Democratic Party politicians in rural Alabama and Mississippi — where both perpetrators and victims were largely African-American, and the candidates on both sides were Democrats — to a variety of schemes in Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, Georgia, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, New Jersey, the District of Columbia, and elsewhere.

Uh huh.

 

New Mexico Dog becomes registered voter

Buddy the Dog better be careful, though.  Obama eats dogs.

No, nothing fishy here… *rolleyes*

160 Counties Have More Registered To Vote Than Eligible Vote.  Voter I.D. ….  it’s a bulwark to protect us from descent into a banana republic.

 

Slaying the Liberal Disenfranchisement Straw Man

Who are you going to believe?  The false narrative of Democrat talking points or the facts?  The banana republic part:

In the ’08 campaign, Republican Sen. Norm Coleman was running for re-election against Democrat Al Franken. It was impossibly close; on the morning after the election, after 2.9 million people had voted, Coleman led Franken by 725 votes.

Franken and his Democratic allies dispatched an army of lawyers to challenge the results. After the first canvass, Coleman’s lead was down to 206 votes. That was followed by months of wrangling and litigation. In the end, Franken was declared the winner by 312 votes. He was sworn into office in July 2009, eight months after the election.

During the controversy a conservative group called Minnesota Majority began to look into claims of voter fraud. Comparing criminal records with voting rolls, the group identified 1,099 felons — all ineligible to vote — who had voted in the Franken-Coleman race.

The real disenfranchised group were those people who were not law breaking felons who played by the rules.   Dems and fair play.   They ought to meet sometime.

Democrat Voting Miracles

Fellowship of the Minds provides evidence of these magical Democrats!  A few juicy parts:

Madison is the capital city of the state of Wisconsin, located in Dane County. After the votes were cast and counted, a Madison City Clerk discovered that 119% of registered Democrats in Dane County had voted!

What a feat! Maybe Democrats can also walk on water!

Back on June 13, I wrote a post on the miracle of dead people voting in America. Briefly, a report from the Pew Center on the States found that a whopping 24 million – or 1 in 8 – of active voter registrations in the U.S. have serious errors. Those errors include 1.8 million dead on America’s rolls of registered voters, as well as 2.75 million who are registered as active voters in more than one state.

See this pic below of the cute doggie?

His name is Mozart, whose owner is Tim Morris.

Conservative Byte reports on June 19, 2012, that Morris got a big surprise in his mail — a document asking his dog Mozart to register to vote.

“I opened it up and looked at it and I just laughed,” Morris said. “I thought it was a joke at first and it turns out it’s real.”

The form is addressed to Mo, the family’s nickname for the dog.

Sadly, Mo’s been dead for two years.

Perhaps we can get a comment from our local ‘voter disenfranchisement’ visitor.

In Fraud we trust: The Democrat Voter ID ‘disenfranchisement’ scam

Asking people to show identification to vote is too much for the Democrats… but having an 18 year old woman fly to DC for a day trip to testify that she can’t get identification – but can get through TSA security- is beyond the pale of logic.

I know.  We’re talking about Democrats and logic…. but still…. this is straight out of Monty Python.

…with ACORN involved, there’s a kernel of truth there.  (Get it?)

Liberals: In Fraud we trust

Datechguy has an excellent compilation of liberal hand wringing over the voter identification laws just passed in Pennsylvania.   One site he excerpts is wailing over the potential loss of ‘750,000’ voters.  Doesn’t say if those voters are room temperature but I digress.  Go see the excerpts.   Almost as good as dessert.  Almost.
