In a fundraising letter mailed to Ohio Republicans last week, Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell boasts of “delivering” the election to President Bush, and was “pleased” to announce Bush had won the election long before the votes had actually been counted, according to The Blue Lemur.
This one is just so shocking that I find it hard to comment on it. Do you really want someone who all but admits to fixing the election as your next governor? Yep, read the fine print. This guy, who “delivered” Ohio to Bush, and has clearly shown he doesn’t understand the meaning of the word ethics, is running for governor of Ohio. And he’ll probably get in, too, by simply “delivering” the election to himself.

Karl Marx would love the popular moves among politicians in various state governments and the federal government to ban so-called "junk" food in schools, and to "put healthy food in" convenience stores and on the tables of those they define as poor. It's a very elitist and arrogant mindset that promotes this ideology, and it needs to be addressed.
Ultimately, the war supporters in Congress prevailed in the vote on the resolution. Still, the vote was significant because it places every member of Congress on the record as supporting or not supporting the unconstitutional, costly, violent occupation of a country that never attacked us. This vote should serve as an important reminder to the American people of where their representatives really stand when it comes to policing the world, empire building, and war.

That’s just one interpretation of what was said. One could also read that as the governor boasting of the campaigning that he had done on the President’s behalf and that with that well-run campaign, he was sure the state would go for Bush, long before election day. Honestly, if you think the election was rigged – prove it. If you don’t have any proof, let it go. Interpretations of the fund raising efforts of one politician do not a conspiracy theory prove.

Don’t be a sore winner. And pay closer attention. This guy ran the election. When it was challenged, he did everything he could to thwart, and when that failed, subvert the recount. This is why it’s still in court, and why the Kerry campaign finally got involved. And he isn’t the governor yet.

I love it when Democrats complain of election fraud and voter intimidation. The tires slashed in Wisconsin was done by Democrats…in Democratic controlled Cuyahoga County and also in places like Milwaukee and Chicago, more people voted than were actually registered (113% voter turnout in Milwaukee alone)…the independant commision that studied the 2004 election found that there were 4 instances of vote fraud committed by Democrats to every one committed by Republicans. Democrat controlled groups like ACORN had operatives convicted of registering felons to vote (which is illegal in all but 4 states) and were also convicted of registering dead people, cartoon characters (Dick Tracy and Mary Poppins in Cleveland) and imaginary people with imaginary addresses. I guess they figure if they cry wolf enough people won’t notice who is really responsible for the majority of the voter fraud and intimidation that goes on.

Now those are some interesting statistics. By the way, I don’t see any Democrats here.
