Cheap gasoline and cheap tricks

Here in Columbus gasoline is about $3.25. I realize in some cities you can't get it at any price. Never thought I'd say $3.25 was cheap, but that's down $1 from what it was on the peninsula this summer.

Then those great old "community organizers" are rounding up the drunk and homeless to register to vote. Yes, Barack Obama has already started to steal Ohio--as of a few days ago you could register and vote on the same day, and boy were the Demmies ready for that one with a Democrat Attorney General and a court that seems to have lost all common sense. Not satisfied with a Democratic machine in Chicago--they've brought the goon squads here. The locals are outraged.
    "Election officials around Ohio were preparing for a rush of early voting Tuesday, the first day absentee ballots are accepted in advance of the Nov. 4 presidential election.

    Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, is also allowing new voters to register and cast an absentee ballot on the same day during a weeklong period that ends Oct. 6.

    For weeks, the Ohio Republican Party accused Brunner of interpreting the early voting law to benefit her own party by allowing same-day registering and voting. Republicans argued that Ohio law requires voters to have been registered for 30 days before they cast an absentee ballot.

    But the Republican-dominated Ohio Supreme Court decided Monday that Brunner was following the law. The decision was backed by a federal judge in Cleveland. Another federal judge in Columbus declined to rule, deferring to the state Supreme Court's decision." AOL News, Sept. 28
One caller to a local station said it looked like a drunken rodeo with the "organizers" trying to chase down their transported prey in the parking lot and herd them into the building. Hmm. Sounds like Congress doesn't it?

Student reporters interview registrants and "impartial" volunteers getting them to the polls. Here. One guy was for Obama for his "Thug Thizzle." Really, folks, it's pathetic, but no more so than the white, middle class voting for Obama to assuage their guilt for all their failed programs of the last 50 years and a past they had nothing to do with. Or because he is in Joe Biden's words, "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man."

The law wasn't well crafted well. It was supposed to be voter registration should take place at least 30 days before a voter casts a ballot. Sec. State Brunner exploited the loophole. Immoral? Of course. Illegal, not.

Actually, the problem isn't the 'loop hole' in the law...just anyone with any common sense can understand the provision that you must be registered 30 days prior to voting. The 'distinction' is in the Sec of State's parsing the term "voting" with "casting a ballot."

If you have to be registered 30 days prior to voting, it really shouldn't matter whether you're voting at the polls on election day, voting by absentee ballot, or voting early as we can now do.

And since when is it the role of the Sec. of State to 'exploit' a loophole???
