And after Dem leaders already called for slashing the military budget by 25%? Surprise! A phalanx of liberal think tanks and interest groups – anticipating a Democratic victory on Tuesday – are mobilizing to push Sen. Barack Obama to……

This exemplifies one of the many reasons why I scoff at “elites” and those with a slew of degrees UNLESS they can clearly demonstrate they actaully know something more than me.

And based on the Sarah-cuda phenomenon, I’m not alone.

They must has planned to vote in both Ohio and their home state otherwise why do this? Do you think they learned anything or are they just going to do it “smarter” next time?

These operatives knew exactly what they were doing.

Setting the MSM meme for the hundreds/thousands/ of similar operations that are sure to be discovered in the near future.

The McCain campaign today continued to plumb the depths of political attack strategy.

Today’s target? Overzealous, but well meaning, college kids. Ignorant of the law, caught up in the Spirit of The Lightworker. And they apologised. No harm, no foul. Nothing to see here. Moveon.

In truth, its misdirection. Takes the focus away from the ACORN Motor Voter Vans that will be rackin’ up miles come election day.

{C’mon, did anybody really beieve that the law’s name only referred to registration.}

You see, we humanities folks can occasionally come up with something logical too. ;)

Heh. Not saying you can’t, only that fields with more subjective criteria are highly susceptible to infestations of mediocrity.

And if you were so honest.. WTF are you doing? I call BS!

upinak

Exactly, barbrastreisand.

Oh, I’m sure they’re not dumb…

Then their “admission” is a lie and they have to be prosecuted for perjury…

Exactly my point. You see, we humanities folks can occasionally come up with something logical too. ;)

If Obarbo wins, it will be a fraudulent victory.

And if the New Age messiah loses, it’s simply not possible that it could be anything else but racism that he and what he represents is defeated.

Oh what am I to do!?

A bunch of busy-bodies with MTV majors.

Oh, I’m sure they’re not dumb:

Then their “admission” is a lie and they have to be prosecuted for perjury, which was good enough to get Martha Stewart put away for 6 months, or obstruction of justice.

I wonder if these geniuses are studying law or political science (though I think the Rhodes term is “political alchemy”)?

a couple of my friends are/were Rhodes Scholars, and you have to be really smart to get that. You don’t have to be honest though.

Meh. I’ve never been overly impressed with any Rhodes scholars. The only ones I’ve seen has been non-scientists and what passes for logic in fields that don’t require strict mathematical reasoning is generally laughable. Not all the time, but generally.

Sorry, messed up the quoting above

Two others are Jessica Schumacher of Lexington, Ky., and Sarah Green-Golan of Boston, respectively a sophomore and a senior at the College of Wooster. I met them on campus and heard how they and their friends had persuaded 700 of their fellow students to register in Wayne County, where the Republican presidential margin has ranged from 11,000 to 12,000 votes in the last two elections.

700 out of around 2,100 students, registered here in Ohio. College of Wooster has students from all over the World. I bet they barely have 700 that come from Ohio.

It only follows that they must too dumb to actually be qualified for the Rhodes Scholarships, too (frankly, they’ve admitted to being too dumb to be in any college).

And I wasn’t even a Rhodes Scholar!

Evidently it’s more difficult to understand simple election law than it is to get a Rhodes Scholarship. But I appreciate that the Rhodes Scholars have admitted their stupidity.

I hear you, Cindy. This has driven me nuts for years.

I swear W’s biggest problem is this bi-partisan crap. He won’t have his DOJ go after this but the Dems will say 45 times a day that there needs to be hearings on the firings of prosecutors that it was legal to fire. Just bang my head on the wall repeatedly.

Drivers licenses for illegals, Motor Voter laws, prohibitions against requiring ID at polling stations, growing preponderance of permanent absentee ballots nationwide, etc. will all serve the goal of creating a permanent Democrat majority. Free and fair elections in this country will be a thing of the past.

We have become a joke of a society that is unable to honestly hold anyone accountable for their actions, which will lead to the total collapse of confidence in our systems (as we all just watched happening in the financial system a few weeks ago) which will be the end. This is all just insane. Each of these brats should have lost the right to vote for no less than 30 years, had their scholarships (those that come from the government) revoked, and had serious felony charges (fraud, of whatever sort) brought against them leading to at least 6 months in jail for each.

If this country can’t hold people who are caught red-handed to account for their actions, then there is nothing left. I just can’t stop shaking my head in disbelief at this. The US cannot continue like this. That’s for sure.
