Have mercy, I'm an Orphan!

Nice looking woman that Lizzie Borden. She killed her father and his 2nd wife. She was set free by a jury who could not prove she did it, and for some, felt sorry for her for being an orphan.

See these guys? They are the public figureheads and talking spokesmen for the GOP, which is now standing over the financial body of millions of Americans. They want to pretend they are innocent and that we should pity them.
They want to stop Americans from fixing what they broke.
They want to freak you out.

A new GOP advertisement goes so far as to accuse the Democrats of planning to do what the GOP HAS been doing for 6 of the 8 last years until they messed up so badly that Americans put some Democrats back into one of the branches of government.

"These liberals want complete control of government in a time of crisis, all branches of government," the ad's narrator states. "No check and balances, no debate, no independence. That's the truth behind Kay Hagan. If she wins, they get a blank check."

Crying foul, pointing fingers and trying to ignore the fact that THEY have been in total power in all branches of government, have not shared power with the Democrats, and have done everything they could to keep TOTAL GOP control, they are now nervous.
They are afraid that the Democratic party will do to them- and the country- what they did to us.

Not a chance.
Democrats have no interest in stripping the country bare, lining their own Halliburton Enron Lehman Brothers pockets and then taking the golden parachute and ignoring what hell they wrought.
We have to clean up their mess.

They stood there and hacked America up with deregulation, retribution wars, and a daily claim that THEY were the victims of the big bad old Democrats that they had left for dead on the couch!

It turned out that the claims in 2000 that the Democrats had glued the drawers shut and stolen the W's on the typewriters in the West Wing were deliberate lies spread to discredit outgoing Clinton staffers.

It turns out that the 'invasion' of Iraq was a sham planned even before Bush took office, in collusion with Tony Blair's administration, to deliberately get rid of a dictator in an oil rich country, and war in Afghanistan conveniently bombed out the EXACT path for an oil pipeline that would have otherwise been too expensive to create.

It turns out that while claiming voter fraud, the GOP fired lawyers that would not illegally and without cause prosecute groups like ACORN when they did their jobs and followed the law.

It turns out that, without any help from anyone , McCain was part of the securities and exchange commissions scandal with Keating- but rather than mention it, his campaign wants to tie Obama to felon years after the man paid the price and turned over a new leaf, and on the flimsiest of excuses.

It turns out that while standing around talking about family values, Sara "I'm almost as qualified as Paris Hilton" Palin had someone fired for NOT illegally firing her ex brother in law.
And she padded state accounts for her kids to travel.
And she did NOT sell a plane on EBAY- but she tried.
And the GOP spent over $149,000.00 to clothe "Mrs. Everywoman".
And BROKE THE MCCAIN WRITTEN LAW ABOUT SPENDING CAMPAIGN MONEY ON CLOTHING.
WTF is up with that kind of logic?

Considering that the GOP is desperately ignoring that RIGHT NOW her predecessor, Ted Stevens, is on TRIAL for corruption, it's kind of funny how they can just ignore everything when cornered.

Be kind to them! Listen to them! They know what they are talking about when they mention destruction-- they are orphans!

Just a Thought on "One of the People".

Ontario police arrest man in voter fraud case

Mark Jacoby, who owns a firm hired by the California Republican Party, violated state laws with his own registration, authorities say.

SACRAMENTO -- The owner of a firm that the California Republican Party hired to register tens of thousands of voters this year was arrested in Ontario over the weekend on suspicion of voter registration fraud.

State and local investigators allege that Mark Jacoby fraudulently registered himself to vote at a childhood California address where he no longer lives so he would appear to meet the legal requirement that all signature gatherers be eligible to vote in California. His firm, Young Political Majors, or YPM, collects petition signatures and registers voters in California and other states.

Jacoby's arrest by state investigators and the Ontario Police Department late Saturday came after dozens of voters said they were duped into registering as Republicans by people employed by YPM. The voters said YPM workers tricked them by saying they were signing a petition to toughen penalties against child molesters.

The firm was paid $7 to $12 for every Californian it registered as a member of the GOP.

Dan Goldfine, an attorney for Jacoby, on Sunday denied any wrongdoing by his client and called the charges "baseless."

He said the arrest outside an Ontario hotel, which involved seven squad cars and nine police officers, was part of a "long pattern of harassment against Mr. Jacoby for an entirely valid voter registration effort."

Goldfine said the case that prosecutors are bringing against his client involves charges that are rarely pressed.

Jacoby was released on bail Sunday evening from the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, Goldfine said.

After complaints by voters and Democratic Party officials, several agencies launched investigations into Jacoby's activities. They included the Los Angeles County district attorney's office, which issued the warrant for his arrest earlier this month on felony charges of voter registration fraud and perjury.

"We contacted people at the addresses where he registered, and they have no idea who he is," said Dave Demerjian, head deputy of the public integrity unit at the L.A. County district attorney's office.

Goldfine said his client does business in many states, traveling frequently, and his permanent address has been his parents' Los Angeles County home, where he received mail and registered to vote.

Demerjian said his office is continuing to investigate allegations that YPM workers improperly re-registered voters with the GOP.

Several dozen voters recently told The Times that YPM workers said they had to become Republicans to sign the petition, contrary to California initiative law. Other voters said they had no idea their registration was being changed.

YPM has been accused of using bait-and-switch tactics across the country. Election officials and lawmakers have launched investigations into the activities of YPM workers in Florida and Massachusetts. In Arizona, the firm was recently a defendant in a civil rights lawsuit.

In a written statement Sunday, the state Republican Party called the charges against Jacoby "politically motivated." The party said the charges do not support accusations from voters and Democratic officials that YPM has been duping voters into joining the GOP.

The statement accused Secretary of State Debra Bowen, who announced the arrest, of "using her office to play politics."

Bowen is a Democrat.
