Jennifer Brunner - "Ohioians Deserve Better"

Schmennis — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 09:59:13 -0700

This issue can be summed up with one phase....."We have taken this action to recover taxpayer funds spent for voting systems used in half of the state’s 88 counties because Ohioans deserve better", Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner said."

This action has been taken NOT because "Ohioans deserve better" but because Premier Voting Machines didn't deliver a reliable product.

Aside from that, Jeniffer Brunner reveals the REAL issue, motivation by partisan politics, and takes a page from the Democratic Party Agenda to have election "reform." Ohioans deserve better.

Just a veiled way to say politics as usual, and allow those thousands of deceased and ineligible voters in Cleveland and Toledo (registered to vacant crack houses) to have their vote count.

Welcome to election 2000 Part II. This could be resolved without this type of court action.

Thanks Jennifer for working to assure that this election embarrasses Ohio once again.

Please take your place aside Marc Dann.

Ha ha .....

It is hard to use the word "blog" and "journalism" in the same sentence.

Personally, I don't see what is wrong with wanting to say the pledge.

I suspect Obama wanted the man to lead it because he doesn't know it by heart.

Luckily Hillary isn't out of the race yet....

The "douchbag" part of this post is referring to extremists, left-wing, nutjob, democrats like "BI" as if it is legitimate press.

Just because groups cry, yell, moan the loudest, in an attempt to force their "forward thinking" extreme, personal opinions on us, does not mean they represent middle America and what the majority of Democrat Americans want.

Anti-Christ hoax

Personally, I think the Left Behind series and the futurist interpetation of the book of Reveleation is all wrong. I think John of Patmos was indicting Empire, specifically the Roman Empire, for its political oppression and economic exploitation. All the books of the Bible had been written before Islam was founded. Yet, Fundamentalists think we're locked into a clash of civilizations. My fifth grade social studies teacher taught us in the early 1980's that the Communist Soviets would attack Israel from all directions as Pat Robertson and his ilk predicted. That crowd has zero credibility left in my book. But Obama better address the Anti-Christ smears.

Douchebag Post...

This is pretty lame, posting the name and address of a political protester. What's worse is the description of of the protester as a REGISTERED REPUBLICAN. If you had any sense, you would recognize that being a "registered" republican in Ohio simply means he voted in a primary election. Hardly worth mentioning. Over the years, this blog has gone from respectable to shit to somewhat respectable to shit again. So much for the principles of journalism.

PVS = Diebold

Just in case anyone doesn't know, Premier Voting Systems used to be part of Diebold.

Not Accurate

They posted his mother's phone number, not his. There's a huge difference there.

Def. seems like believable

BenKeeler — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 11:02:28 -0700

Def. seems like believable #s at this point in time, even though I am not a huge fan of Survey USA in general. Gonna be a close race to watch.

Shame on you

David,

Didn't you personally voice opposition when some posted the address of a previous blog editor? Now you're supporting the same thing?

Nick D., might I suggest you visit some conservative blogs and post your address?

I don't agree with what this man did. This type of anti-campaigning by either side is what drives many people away from politics and what fans the flames of radicals on both sides. Hopefully both candidates will come to their senses quickly.

The anti-Christ idea goes back further than the series

Randy — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 05:12:23 -0700

Back to before 100AD. "Necessary" isn't the word I would use, but I won't argue with it. I would say that the anti-Christ's coming will precede Christ's return. I don't listen to Sean with any regularity, maybe once every 2-3 months when I happen to be in the car when he's on. The purpose of these anti ads (as I see them) is to emphasize that Obama keeps trying to show himself as the Messiah, or someone to deliver himself. I personally don't believe he feels this way, but there are many of us right-wingers who see Obama as portraying himself as "The One" as you reported to deliver people away. Obama makes very good use of religous feelings when it suits him. He's an excellent speaker. He knows how to lead his people. All very good traits. When the Rev. Wright fiasco hit the fan, he gave a speech about his feelings on the whole fiasco. About 1/2 of his speech focused on the issue. Then he pointed out that the issue distracted us from the real issues. So do these anti-anyone ads that both candidates are running. ("Yeah, but your guy did it first!" - get a life) Obama rightly tried to re-focus from these silly issues to the issues he felt were important. For more information on this speech see my previous comments at http://newfromclt.blogspot.com/2008/04/obamas-remarks-on-wright.html. This post also contains a link to Obama's speech, so you can decide if you think he's focusing on the correct issues.

Where did he get that press badge from?

Powerful Anti-Christ smear attack

paper ballots now — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 22:41:06 -0700

Isn't the Anti-Christ necessary for the second coming of Christ according to the Left Behind crowd? BTW, the Left Behind series is the top seller in the history of publishing---this ad speaks to millions of people. Sean Hannity has been playing clips insinuating that Barack is the Anti-Christ on his radio show everyday. Here's what Barack should say in response to this attack---"I am not Moses, but I'm here to work to deliver people away from pharoh."

So let him have it...

This guy is saying the pledge of allegiance with HIS BACK TURNED TOWARDS THE FLAG!!!! What a terrorist-appeasing, America-hating, non-Christian liberal loonie!

It's always about McCain

kweber7 — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 21:23:21 -0700

I'm not going to be voting against anyone. I want to vote FOR someone, and I want to vote for someone I can trust at their word. Just because McCain is wrong on an issue too doesn't make it ok for Obama to outright lie.

Say what you want about Hillary Clinton, but she said she'd support a filibuster of any FISA bill with immunity for the telecom companies and she kept her word. Civil liberties are important.

I can always not vote for president if there isn't going to be a trustworthy candidate running.

Why did you post his address?
