This guy is an Anus Face. http://thinkprogress.org/...
During his keynote speech at an election law symposium at University of Toledo on Friday, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted (R) claimed two recent court decisions restoring early voting on the last three days before the election was “un-American.”
Mr. Husted spoke of a recent federal court decision that he claimed intruded on Ohio’s ability to run its own elections and called it an “un-American approach to voting” — an opinion not shared by many who attended the symposium.
“It’s the job of the federal courts to enforce the Constitution; that includes the right to vote,” said Daniel Tokaji, a professor at the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law who was a panelist at the symposium, after the secretary’s comments. “…We should be doing everything we can to improve access to eligible voters.”
You would think wouldn't you? Getting the most accurate count of the vote, the most detailed read of the mood of the electorate, ensuring Freedom
tm by clearly determining the
will of the people is what America is supposed to be about.
There are times I get really sick of this pack of ass gaskets.
Husted has already tried to take this issue to the Supreme Court and Lost. Yet when order to restore the last weekend of early voting, he has only done so while cutting 8 Hours of availability during that weekend compared to 2008.
This is where the race remains in these lasts days. Balancing on a knife-edge of turnout. It's not about changing hearts and minds, it's all about getting people to the Poles Polls.
We do that, we win.
We know it, they know it. That's why Husted has done what he's done, and that's also why Ken Cucinelli the Attorney General of Virginia refused to investigate a GOP contractor for Dumping Democratic Voter Registrations
The Virginia State Board of Elections announced Friday that it will not ask the state’s attorney general to investigate the Republican operative accused of tossing out eight completed voter registration forms, rejecting Democratic-led efforts at a full investigation into the alleged tampering.
State Senator and chairman of the Senate Democratic Caucus Donald McEachin had called for a complete investigation of the incident, in which 31-year-old Colin Small is accused of deliberately discarding valid voter registration forms.
...
A spokesman for Cuccinelli’s office told the Washington Post that the attorney general could only review the case if the State Board of Elections asked him to do so.

The Police can arrest and charge the guy with destruction of voter registrations forms and obstruction of justice but the Cooch still needs to hear "Mother May I?"
Right.
Had enough of this Bullcrap?
How about Marco Rubio trying to undermine the power of the Lilly Ledbetter act by claiming is was just a hand-out to Trial Lawyers? http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/...
“Just because they call a piece of legislation an equal pay bill doesn’t make it so,” he said on ABC’s “This Week.” “In fact, much of this legislation is, in many respects, nothing but an effort to help trial lawyers collect their fees and file lawsuits, which may not contribute at all whatsoever to increasing pay equity in the workplace.”
The 2009 law makes it easier for women to sue their employers if they’re being paid less than men for doing equal work. Rubio said he supports the principle but opposes the Ledbetter legislation as a way of achieving it.
“If you’re the most qualified person for the job, you should be able to get paid — you should get paid as much as your male counterpart,” he said. “Everyone agrees with that principle.”
No, apparently not every one. People who decide they can
get away with paying women less don't. This is simply extending the statute of limitations on protections that already exist with the Civil Rights Act (and for that matter would also increase protection for people being unfairly underpaid on the basis of Race, Religion and Creed as well as Gender). So exactly what does Rubio suggest we do to stop people from doing this kind of thing?
Anything?
Anything..?
Bueller?

How about Donald Trump claiming that Fox and Friends deserves as much credit for killing bin Laden as President Obama?
Billionaire Donald Trump on Monday told the hosts of Fox & Friends that they deserved “as much” credit for the killing of terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden as did President Barack Obama.
Going into Monday’s presidential debate on foreign policy, Trump recommended that Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney “be very, very aggressive because the target is so easy.”
“This is the worst foreign policy in history,” the reality star opined. “I got a kick before when he was saying, he’s the more experienced person, meaning Obama. It’s the worst foreign policy in history. The Middle East is crumbling down and they hate us. We’ve spent trillions of dollars — we spent 1.5 trillion in Iraq and Iraq is going to hell. They all hate us, not to mention the lives that we lost. The lives that we lost in the Middle East, it is the greatest disaster.”
Raw Story (http://s.tt/...)
Isn't it strange and coincidental that this characterization "they hate us" is almost exactly - to the word - what Rupert Murdoch was tweeting yesterday?
I admit, that kinda set me off.
I also argued back two other points...
And...
Yeah, remember we found that WMD in Iraq & got OBL in Tora Bora?
Just one day before the debate on foreign policy, they're making this argument?
Soledad O'Brien even brought this same point up with Rudolph the-Red-Faced Guiliani.
O’Brien noted that former Bush strategist Matthew Dowd said that Republicans were wrong to rush into releasing a report on Benghazi prior to the November election because it had taken “months and months” to get answers about failed intelligence that indicated Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
“So, we’re going to blame this on Bush too?” Giuliani snapped at the CNN host.
“You’ve got to stop putting words in my mouth, sir!” O’Brien shot back. “Seriously, hang on, let me finish. Because every time I ask you a question — let me finish my point — every time I ask you a question, you like to push back as if the question that’s being posed to you is unfair, it’s not. I’m a journalist. You said some things, I’m trying to get some accurate responses from you.”
“It sounds to me like we are trying to blame it on Bush,” Giuliani insisted again. “It’s absurd to blame Benghazi on Bush.”
“That’s not what Matthew Dowd is saying,” O’Brien pointed out. “What Matthew Dowd is saying, similar situation, talking about weapons of mass destruction. And back then — in the same confusion — it took a long time. Years later, we still don’t know. He’s not saying, blame it on President Bush. He’s just saying, weeks in a place like Libya, it could take a long time before someone actually knows what exactly happened.”
Raw Story (http://s.tt/...)
Dowd is absolutely right. It can take some
time to unravel the truth of a complex crazy situation like the Benghazi attack. But rather than admit the truth of the underlying premise, that there is no "lying, incompetence or coverup" over Benghazi, it's just taking time because it
usually does, Ghouliani tries to deflect to whine about "Bush Bashing".
This is what they resort to. Trying to throw enough smoke into the air that they think the rest of us can't see how full of shit they are.
But it's not going to work. We can see through. We can see them. If you're as sick of these Frackholes as much as I am Get. Out. the Damn. Vote.
It's the best way to make all these punks cry.
