I wonder about this since in Chicago "greased"means working with those in power in the government and some very funny things happened within two days of that decision. The decision, of course, was the one about whether Obama's name could be on their ballots. The strange happening within two days was that Georgia was given two permits to construct nuclear generating plants. So soon when none had been offered in nearly 40 years. There is just a hint of political stink involved here. I really do wonder about it.

For those paying attention, Orly just lost in Indiana. The board even had to threaten her with tossing her "butt" (their word) out if she kept disrespecting the board.

With 10% of all possible state challenges complete, the score is:

Obama - 5, Birthers - 0

That's because your paranoia and pathological distrust of good people just doing their jobs makes you "wonder" about the very air that you breath.

Was the Georgia decision "greased" just a bit. It sure looked like it. Go ahead and hang in there against Orly but tell me about the Georgia decision.

Do you really not see any possibility of Chicago style "Grease" being involved in the fact that they got something two days later that hadn't been allowed in nearly 40 years?

You did read the link, didn't you?

And you didn't read that filth from that conservative site, did you? It won't really dirty your mind to read it unless it is ready to be dirtied by something like that.

Old Saul Alinsky would be proud of your use of attack the messenger as a form of deflection.

I think I was talking about allowing people to be on their ballot without proof of some kind that they are natural born. I gave up on that birther stuff a long time ago but I do think that states run and pay for elections and they should be allowed to say who can and who can't be on their ballot.

Do you not see something a bit fishy with Georgia getting those requests for nuclear generating plants just two days after the decision when nothing like that had been allowed for 40 years? Maybe you need to look at this one without the birther cloud hanging over you.
