The Week Just Passed: More Voter Fraud, Karzai Wins Afghanistan Election, Sinclair Wimps Out
KARZAI WINS!
No mind the issues with UN issued Sharpie pens, the main opponent of Hamid Karzai has conceded the election.
Grandmother thinks Mr. Karzai is very handsome and of all the funny headgear worn by those folks, his is the most attractive.
Well, it’s true.
The more important story about Afghanistan is quoted below with a link to the rest of the story. Seems there are Afghanistan Bloggers too and one wrote the following insight into that country’s first and most amazing election…EVER!
I think the verbiage is mind-boggling and consider it hereby immortalized for sweet Granddaughter.
. We worry about rain affecting voter turnout in the States . . . I heard stories of lines over a mile long . . . of people standing in those lines on crutches, with legs amputated because of landmines, and families who pulled their grandparents to vote in oxcarts, because they were too old to walk. . . standing in lines at 3:00 in the morning, in the snow, so that they could vote. . .
The Afghan Army and Police did a great job. We've trained them well, and these patriots took their lives into their hands . . .
Finally, I leave you with a personal experience. We have a group of Afghan men who clean the building where I work. . . I see them in the hallway seven days a week. They like to practice. . . the English phrases they're learning: "Good morning, How are you? I am fine, thank you..." You get the idea. They didn't work on election day, because they were voting, and the roads were pretty congested. I asked them the first morning they were back to work if they had voted. They all got smiles a mile wide, had to show me their thumbs with ink on them, and each of them wanted to shake my hand and I got to congratulate each of them on their new country! Now, if that doesn't bring a tear to your eye, then you have ice water in your veins!
As good as this is, we're not done yet. There are still some out there that would like to cut off thumbs, rather than stain them with ink. But that group is up against a dedicated, capable Coalition that will not accept failure. . .
Possible Voter Fraud Eliminated But It Took An Appeal
It really isn’t too much to ask a voter to appear at the correct precinct. Especially when election workers will direct the errant voter to the correct voting location.
But Democrats thought that a voter who showed up at any precinct anywhere in the county should be allowed to vote even if at the wrong precinct.
I mean, why have rules and why can’t we all just vote in any damn state we want and why can’t the voter be bothered to go to the correct precinct?
Of course when one’s ‘Get Out the Vote’ effort includes scooping up the homeless off the street and out-of-town passersby onto big buses headed to the nearest precinct. Once the ‘voters’ punch their cards they might get a pack of smokes, perhaps some smack. It’s such a pain to have to haul those folks all over town to the actual correct precinct.
And Ohio Clinton appointed judge ruled that this was entirely too difficult on the Democrats and that Ohioans could, indeed, vote in any precinct so long as in the same county or city. His decision was reversed when the Republicans appealed it.
It’s taking the Conservatives to wade through layers of crap to get justice in this election. Stealing an election is in such poor taste.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (news - web sites) ruled that a provisional ballot cast outside a voter's home precinct isn't valid, agreeing with Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell
Sinclair Is No Dinosaur
Back in the distant past, there used to be a great gas station chain called Sinclair. It’s corporate icon was a dinosaur. Oh well, I remember.
The Sinclair Broadcasting company backed down totally from pressure applied by Democratic Stockholders. Including some teacher’s union pension fund and if it’s union than you know it’s Democrat.
No matter how the Broadcaster spun it, financial pressure was too much.
Well hey, it’s understandable. The right did the same sort of thing to the Dixie Chicks.
The point about it all as I only mention the entire incident for this reason one week before the 2004 presidential election in this year of our Lord, is….WHY WAS KERRY SO SCARED OF THE STORY?
Two Sunday Political Talk Show Comments
I note that Juan Williams, Fox pundit, mentioned that he spoke with Kerry several times during a recent gabfest. “When I spoke with Kerry…,” Juan would say then make his point. Not that us idiots in the audience figured out that maybe Juan is telling us what KERRY thinks what with those conversations with the man and everything.
Terry McAuliffe is expected to be over the top in his position as Chairman of the DNC. But his answer to a question posed by Wolf Blitzer in yesterday’s late edition was so over the top it left me laughing for two hours.
The conversation revolved around Kerry’s ridiculous photo op recently as some kind of goose hunter. Wolf asked if Kerry wasn’t trying to calm the fears of gun-toting Ohioans that he too wants guns and wouldn’t dream of taking theirs away.
“Absolutely,” Terry responded. “The only way an Ohioan has ever lost their gun is by having to sell it because of the personal economic impact of this administration’s policies.”
Damn but I would hate his job.
Below is the link to FreeRepublic’s daily Sunday political talk show thread. Excellent commentary posted as it occurred.
