Thanks for the heads up. He looks like an equal opportunity
ignorer. He is ignoring all posts to him equally.

So one of the most insignificant and irrelevent laws ever passed gets your panties in a twist? LoL the Swifties showed just how ineffective and absurd the CFR law really is. Plus, it is entirely constitutional how do you get the idea that restricting political PARTIES is anti-constitutional particular give the fact that the Founders despised the whole idea of political parties.

After all the howls from those who have not read the law subsided I told them it was nothing to worry about and only restricted idiots. I would like to see more restrictions on idiot speech personally.

[75thOVI]

Yeah, I understand. There's alot of places where only "approved" speech is allowed. Silly me, I always thought that freedom of speech was available to every free person in this country. But your laser like wit and firmly grounded arguments have swayed me. Like minded people should not be allowed to form as political parties. As for the Swift Vets, the very god of free speech himself, John McCain has expressed his intention to close that "loophole". Then we'll all be safer from speech that our betters feels is "idiot".

[justshutupandtakeit]

One thing this last election proves is there was NO lack of free speech.

But I am sure you have NOT read this law and prefer the pseudo-arguments of the panic-stricken Chicken Littles who abound here.

Why shouldn't it be?

[oceanview]

because we don't have a national election for president - we have individual state elections, each governed by the rules and methods of that state, that collectively elect the president through the electoral college.

[Cold Heat]

The Libertarians have obviously been hijacked by the radical left.

Most assuredly so.

[Brilliant]

I give up. Are you saying that we SHOULD count every vote, or are you saying we SHOULD NOT count every vote?

That's the Boca Raton Psychiatrist doing all the work for the distraught losers of Nov 2nd (P.E.S.T.)

[69ConvertibleFirebird]

Brilliant strategy for Democrats

A once per decade event. Now they'll go back to spewing hate, bragging about wanting to raise taxes, and try to make marriage between man and horse legal.

[Double Tap]

Those who have libertarian leanings, like many of us do -- myself included -- must now come to realize that the Libertarian Party has become an enemy of their own aspirations.

This is very true.

[cookcounty]

Next-door Pennsylvania was actually closer. Ditto for New Hampshire. But those are NOT going to be recounted. We only recount in jurisdictions where DEMOCRATS might gain votes. Jennings, Brokaw, Brown and Rather say nothing, because God did not see fit to gift them with brains.

LOL!!

[oceanview]

all I was commenting on was your comment about the supreme court ruling. the "uniform standards" thing applies within a state. If Ohio is recounting, they must have a uniform standard, that has nothing to do with Pennsylvannia. If Penn engages in a recount, then they must have a standard. But the fact that Ohio is recounting, means nothing to Penn. Otherwise, if just one state recounted, the entire nation would have to recount.

[Brilliant]

I understand your point. I think that the same argument can be made with respect to PA, though.

[WhiteGuy]

An outstanding exercise.

"ensure that all votes were counted properly"

The minimum requirement acceptable.

Unless the reported vote count is 100% accurate, it is unacceptable.

Every vote must count, and be counted.

[WhiteGuy]

"the actual cost to county election boards combined will be about $1.5 million."

I guess they should have done their job lawfully in the first place.

[CWOJackson]

Hijacked? More like they sold out to Soros. This is the first time the LP has flashed this kind of money around in a Presidential campaign. They sure didn't get it from selling brownies.

[Mike4Freedom]

The Libertarians and the Greens specifically asked for donations to fund the recount. It took a week to raise the needed funds. All from individuals in small pieces. All from individuals who want to see honest elections, not elections where secret software decides the vote. Where whole counties have more votes than voters and large precincts do not get enough machines to handle the load and the wait is till 4 AM, suspicion is high, no matter what your political leaning. We were the only ones who took on the matter of fraud, both big parties are willing to let it all slide. Maybe it is because they both have things to hide.

Blackwell, the Sec of State of Ohio patted himself on the back in a Washington Times article, just to quiet the uninformed.

[CWOJackson]

"We were the only ones who took on the matter of fraud..."

Yes, I'm sure the LP has nothing but pure intentions. Forgive me when I don't fall for it.
