#1  Gee, I wonder which way he voted?

#2  Makes you wonder if you could sue someone who admits to multiple votes for negating yours. Sort of, depriving you of basic civil rights...

#3  Gee, I wonder which way he voted?
Posted by: Raj 2014-05-27 00:45


Raj, if he is a schizophrenic and bi-polar, he voted yes and no, up and down, left and right.

oddy-oddy-oddy!

#4  Were he in the U.S. he would probably be a Democrat.

#5  "Makes you wonder if you could sue someone who admits to multiple votes for negating yours. Sort of, depriving you of basic civil rights..."

That wouldn't be possible. What he did, however, is a criminal offense both in Germany and Italy, punishable by up to 5 years in prison (3 years in Italy afaik).

He's currently under investigation by the prosecutor's office. If he really voted twice there's documentation.

He'll be let off with a slap on the wrist though, being part of the establishment. This will send a clear message concerning the validity of this 'election' and the legitimacy of this 'parliament'.

Liberal Dems increasingly wary of Hillary
Increasingly??? They pegged the needle in 2007-08...

#1  Just clearing the path for the fake Indian, a complete and utter fraud, a world-class hypocrite, and the senior Senator from Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren.
Posted by: Raj || 05/27/2014 0:59 Comments || Top||

#2  I think she's going to be peeved when she doesn't get it, as well as the Obamanauts voted out as well, Holder particularly.

No, I don't think the election will be fair or honest, but the people have had enough, and the ballot box packing will be caught and fail.

I look to have a Republican administration come fall, as well as new term limits or congress enough of these thieves and liars.
(Particularly Liars.)

#3  No, I don't think the election will be fair or honest, but the people have had enough, and the ballot box packing will be caught and fail.

Oh, I don't think "the people" have had even near enough. Nope. I suspect we'll get Hillary or Elizabeth. Maybe even someone else not on the board yet.

The Left insanity still has a good bit to run yet.

#4  SAM, I hope you are wrong but fear you are right.

The Dems have powerful forces working to keep them in the White House.

1. 95%+ of the people in this country who are publicly funded (direct government employment, welfare, people on public pensions, the publicly subsidized or receiving grants, people in rent-seeking businesses like OSHA consulting or diversity training, etc.) will crawl naked through molten lava to vote Dem, especially in our unrecovered down economy. In an election between Hillary or Warren and anyone who is even remotely perceived as being fiscally conservative and a threat to the magic checks, these people will at best stay home (if they are socially conservative and loathe Dem social policies) but in all likelihood will vote out of fear for a leftist who promises that the checks will arrive unscathed. These people are essentially voting for a living, the Dems continuously tell them this and mobilize them, and they never miss an election or a chance to campaign for Dems.

2. Single women see the Dems as the most powerful force to allow them to continue living in the mythological land of "sex without the possibility of negative consequences, ever" because the Dems are the ones pushing for abortion or welfare, which mitigate or eliminate said negative consequences. A female Dem? extra doubleplus good. A female candidate for president will garner pretty close to 90% of single women. Obama got something just north of 70%. As Professor Reynolds has been noting, for the past 6 months the Dem flacks and hacks who populate our media and who manage it in Hollywood and at NBC, Comcast, and the like have been doing battlespace preparation by story selection favoring the theme of women being at their most oppressed in history, and this will be ramped up over the next two years.

3. The postmodern NPR-listening pseudointellectual class will vote for anyone who is not center or right. They vote as if their life depends on it. Since their "life" is defined by propping up the narrative by any means necessary and someone from the center/right would kill the narrative, they can be counted on to use their disproportionate bully pulpit power in academia and government to shill for Hillary or Warren.

4. Blacks and Latinos will vote for Hillary and Warren in numbers not significantly less than they did Obama. Already you can see the press and public broadcasting transitioning the fervor for Obama into fervor for a female candidate.

Only the tanking of the economy again to the point where the hurt burns through the attempts of the press and public broadcasting to cover it up will peel off the 47% plus the ideologues plus the low info voters from the Dem plantation. Will it happen? stay tuned.....

#5  A robust, thriving economy with everyone working and enjoying prosperity is an anathema to the dems. Socialism finds it's roots in oppression and victimhood which transforms everyone into dependent slaves of the state. Fairness and social justice are their slogans. Oppressive taxes, wealth redistribution, destruction of the traditional family, gov't directed education, the elimination of the inconveniently born and the elderly are their tools. Terms of reference such as The New Normal become widespread and gain shrugs of acceptance.

Work is slavery. Sex is for pleasure, not procreation. There are already too many people disrupting the climate. Procreation encourages the creation of families. Families create social bonding, and units of interdependence which owe their loyalties to one another and to social myths vs the state.

Of all the dangers to the state, social myths are the greatest. Good can only come from social myths when the people are finally convinced that those in high gov't should be worshiped as gods.

#6  Socialist Liberal Dems increasingly wary of Hillary

FIFY

The alliance between the commies and the fascists (crony capitalists) is showing its seams in vying for the office of the First Person which has now been fortified with powers beyond constitutional control. Big prize, big fight.

#7  Anyone between Hillary and what she wants should be wary.

#8  for some time now there have been many Hillary haters in the Dem party

and they have not forgotten their reasons for hating Hillary (pro Iraq war vote, ties to Wall Street, late conversion to gay marriage).

the problem for the Hillary haters is finding someone to rally around (Elizabeth Warren is vulnerable on the Indian identity issue and besides, Warren is in her upper 60s as it Hillary)

#9  Dems increasingly wary of Hillary

Yeah, they can not stomach the thought of calling Bill, The First Gentleman.

#10  “I think it was wonderful. People learned about these two people” things that they didn’t know before, he added. [Harry Reid]

Harry Reid is on a different planet. People learned very little about these two candidates (Hillary and Obama)--Certainly not from the debates, the Democratic Part or the MSM.
