That is the single most stupid uninformed statement I have read in a while. If you knew anything about oil you would know how stupid that statement is. If all the oil thought to be in ANWR is there and we recovered it, it would run the country for six months. The vast oil that is under the Midwest is locked up in shale and takes two bbls of oil to get three out. King Hubert who worked for Dutch Royal Shell as a geologist said that the US would go in to peak oil in 70, it is now known that we went into peak oil in 71. There have been no new substantial oil finds on this planet in the past ten years because its mostly been mapped. To prove all of this why would oil company's be drilling in deep water, or Canada where the US brings in most of its foreign oil getting it from tar sands? It takes half the energy produced to produce it from tar sands. The Saudis and most Arab nations will not let independent geologists in to check oil reserves and with all the pumping of oil over all the years, the reserve estimates have not dropped by one bbl. This is because OPEC allows production of reserve estimates. So much for your bumper sticker drill here drill now pay less Newt I am hitting my secretary on the office desk while my wife is dying of cancer.

The concept of "absentee ballot" too hard to grasp?

Just to recap: The "Americans for Prosperity" saboteurs sent out absentee ballot application forms made up to look official, but with forged dates and a forged destination address, to boot. Because they're stupid, they used a mailing address previously used by the conservative group "Wisconsin Family Action".

They're deliberately messing with the election process, and as far as I can tell, the dittoheads on this thread are just fine with it. Which would have surprised me six months ago, not so much any more.

If your stupid enough not to get your election material from the Registars of Voters office to ensure that it is authentic then your are an idiot who gets what they deserve.

WTF is a ditto head. Some kind of gay ******* sexual device?

loolie lookie you have links.... this is me slow-clapping...


you dont get it, there are hundreds of examples of actual voter fraud where democrat organization members have gone to actual physical JAIL and we hear that it really isnt voter fraud from you guys.


For those who care about truth, the word "Koch" frist showed up on forums AFTER the right started outting George Soros the actual devil of American politics.

The left cannot allow their dimi-god to be outted so they found some strawman on the right called "Koch Brothers" (two must be worse than one right?) and started telling lies.

Like I said, six months I would have been surprised to see people defend the use of forgery to mess with an election. But I guess you don't like to see people mess with the Koch's property - they paid good money for that governor, after all. Having the little people vote to take away what they purchased is practically socialism.

I'd say that if you turn a blind eye to this sort of slimy tactics, you're going to get the nation you deserve.

I'd think the OP would be to admit that Democrat voters are not bright enough to read their newspaper, call their local election board, or vet their candidates. Guess they're not the highly educated elitist members of Mensa they'd like us to believe afterall.

Going rouge on something like that and jeopardizing all the gains the Conservative movement in the State have made, is unacceptable.

An example needs to be made, if the accusations are confirmed to be true.
We eat the corrupt, if they skrew up the integrity of the process, no matter which side of the isle they stand on.
