Are you calling yourself a troll? They said your attitude was crap and then you responded and said another troll has surfaced. Frankly, there is fraud out there as several absentee ballot creators and stuffers were just busted in Alabama or something for making ballots.

Soros lost the attempt to get Att. Generals elected at the state level. I am not too worried about that “counting” that was being set up. That was some time ago. My memory is faded at this point but I know he dumped a lot of money into states to elect Dem friendly “vote overseers”.

There was just this in July with Soros and Virginia:

This is an important point.

A bit of history (from Freakonomics, iirc). Jewish lawyers were traditionally squeezed out of “desirable” cases and left with things that “gentlemen lawyers” did not want to touch. They ended up doing a lot of hostile corporate takeovers, which at the time were considered to be undesirable work. With so much practice, they became very good at it.

What the Jewish lawyers learned with all this practice was how to use every possible thing they could to the advantage of their client. One of the big factors was vote counting. They learned how to challenge votes they didn’t like and get them thrown out. They learned how to make sure that “their” side was in charge of vote counting.

IMO, they have transferred this skill to politics. With Jewish voters very heavily on the Democrat side, this means that they will use every trick in the book (legal or not, ethical or not) to help their side win.

(Please note, this is not an anti-Jewish post. I am just trying to point out the facts of what has happened in the legal world and my best guess as to what is happening in politics. I think it was unjust that the Jewish lawyers were marginalized to the crappy dregs of legal work. They made the best of their situation, seized the opportunities available, and turned it to their advantage, for which I applaud them. I don’t support those over the line legally or ethically, however.)

Obama leads Romney 50% to 46% among voters age 18 to 49 (49% of likely voters). Among voters age 50 and older (51% of likely voters), Romney leads Obama 52% to 43%.

Seems the age of accountability and reason has bumped to 50 and older.

So what happened 50 years ago (1962)? What caused this change from a brave and ardent love of freedom to a weak acquiescence to socialist tyranny? How were children raised and educated after 1962 that caused this incredible shift? How did public schools go from education that included the Bible and prayer to socialist indoctrination run by socialist-loving teacher unions?

One may point to many reasons, but something socially, morally, and legally significant and catastrophic happened in 1962, and hardly anyone noticed it. Engel v. Vitale, 370 U.S. 421 (1962), the famous “establishment” case of “separation of church and state,” outlawed prayer in public schools. As Justice Stewart wrote in his dissent, “the Court says that in permitting school children to say this simple prayer, the New York authorities have established ‘an official religion’” (Engel, 370 U.S. 421).

This is where misapplication of the establishment clause to create “separation of church and state” has taken us – to the brink of Marxist tyranny, the destruction of the freedoms protected by our Constitutional Republic, and economic collapse. The fact is, the First Amendment of the Constitution NEVER RESTRICTS FREE AND PEACEFUL RELIGIOUS EXERCISE in government, out of government, or anywhere else. The Constitution ONLY RESTRICTS THE STATE from either establishing religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

Many Christians are confused about this and have allowed the other side to dictate the terms and results in the fight for freedom. The issue today is not an establishment issue, not even close. The issue is the socialists’ use of a Jeffersonian metaphor (“separation of church and state”) in place of the text and meaning of the Constitution to push Christianity and Constitutional free exercise and expression out of government and public life. If God’s people at the foundation of our country were so timid about instilling the things of God in government, we never would have had, for example, the government buildings as well as monuments in Washington D.C. with scripture carved in stone. These artifacts as well as the Constitution itself testify against lie of “the separation of church and state” embraced by our popular culture.

The health of a government DEPENDS ON THE free exercise of religion evidenced by the history of America, probably the healthiest form of government in history. The Book of Revelation in the Bible begins with describing how God's presence is in the midst of his people, the church(es) (Rev. 1:12-3:22). It ends with a description of God's presence in the midst of His people, the holy city, the New Jerusalem (Rev 22:2). In the midst of God’s people is a "tree of life," the leaves of which are "for the healing of the nations." We, the church, institutionally and individually, have God's life and healing so desperately needed in the nations including America. The history of our nation reflects a direct relationship between the involvement of God’s people in government as well as society, and the health of our country that has flourished with individual liberty. Separating the church from the state is like separating the doctor from the patient or the medicine from the wounded. It’s up to God’s people to muster the courage and resolve to get this medicine back into the bloodstream of the dying patient.

We should keep in mind how important money is in politics.

For the past few months, the Obama campaign has been spending every last dollar it’s been taking in and more on ads, while the Romney campaign has been conserving a significant portion of its funds. Yet Romney is still at least even in the polls.

No one panics if his favorite marathon runner is ‘’losing’’ by a few yards halfway through a race, since it’s assumed the runner must be conserving his energy for the final push. The race is not always to the swift but to the conservative.

It’s unlikely Obama will be taking in much money now since the Democrats alienated many Jewish contributors by booing God and Jerusalem. And there’s a limit to how many ads the Democrats can continue to buy without being able to pay for them, as they’re doing now. The future looks bright for Romney/Ryan.
