Crist has also been frank about the existence — or more accurately, non-existence — of vote widespread vote fraud, the latest bugaboo advanced by his party to terrify its base into obedience.

Been hitting the Schnapps tonight, Jay?

With such moves, Crist positions himself as a leader of his party’s sane wing. Unfortunately, that wing is rather small at the moment — about the size of a wing on the flightless dodo bird, as opposed to a wing the size of a soaring eagle. But maybe that can change.

Oh I get it, any move to fling open the polls to any and all comers, foreign and domestic, makes you a member of the sane wing of the human race.

I think that citizens should have to pass a written exam before being allowed to cast a vote. Basic history, some knowledge of how government works, and Economics should be tested.

Educated supporters of both parties would probably do well on the first two parts of the test, but the economics section would wipe out 98% of the Democrat voting base, which is why you’ll never see it happen.

Democrats rely heavily on criminals, the lazy, and the uneducated for their voting base because they all belong in the “something for nothing” crowd and think that government exists to hold their hand all their lives.

Oh well.

NRB’s desperation shows through with his use of statements that clearly have no basis in fact, much less a reality outside the confines of his porous gray matter. Quit eating the mad cows — Economics 101 may have convinced you that it was a good deal but there’s more to an analysis than mere price-per-pound and that’s no bull. I also heard that Palin flunked the “how the government works” quiz and yet she’s apparently the smart one left in the Republican party.

They learned this lesson over 400 years ago:

“The experience that was had in this common course and condition, tried sundry years and that amongst godly and sober men, may well evince the vanity of that conceit of Plato’s and other ancients applauded by some of later times; that the taking away of property and bringing in community into a commonwealth would make them happy and flourishing; as if they were wiser than God. For this community (so far as it was) was found to breed much confusion and discontent and retard much employment that would have been to their benefit and comfort. For the young men, that were most able and fit for labour and service, did repine that they should spend their time and strength to work for other men’s wives and children without any recompense.”-William Bradford

NRB must be reading from some alternate reality for I fail to spot where his “point” is proven. Also, I cannot locate the collection of protests that are “always” under the stated “guises”. Further, NRB offers nothing to link the issue of so-called uneducated Democratic voters with the new topic about idiots that would vote for McCain. NRB, might I also suggest “writing” section for this voter’s test. Better yet, let’s restrict voting to the subset of the population that scores a minimum of 1000 on the SAT. How does that sound. We might have to loosen the voting restrictions on “aliens” though in order to ensure a reasonable number of qualified voters.

Help comes in many forms, NRB. It’s not all about the money, for example. Personally, I’d like for the government to help me live a longer and healthier life by making sure that the EPA does a good job and by keeping us out of needless wars, etc. I don’t need another person’s cash — I’m doing OK on my own. However, I do recognize that there are some people out there that can be best helped with a little money from time to time and that’s OK too. Of course, there’s so much more to talk about and these are just a few quick thoughts.

I’m suggesting that people need to pass a competency test before being allowed to vote. There are plenty of poor people that would pass the competency test, due to the fact that the amount of money you earn isn’t always proportional to level of intelligence.

Also, I did not say anywhere that poor people didn’t pay taxes. I said that there should be a 10% flat tax across the board because it is the only fair way of taxation in existence, and the government doesn’t need more money than that to do what it was designed to do…which does not include coddling the lazy and downtrodden.

Ok, Charlie gets points.

Here’s something for Andy:

For more than a century it’s been generally recognized that the best taxes (admittedly this is an expression reminiscent of “the most pleasant death” or “the funniest Family Circus cartoon”) are progressive— that is, proportionate to income. Lately, however, it’s become fashionable to question this. Various Republican leaders have trotted out the idea of a flat tax, meaning a fixed percentage of income tax levied on everyone. And in their hearts they may be anxious to emulate Maggie Thatcher’s poll tax— a single amount that everyone must pay. Isn’t that more fair? Shouldn’t everyone pay the same amount? In a word— no. It’s not more fair; it’s appallingly unfair. Why? The rich should pay more taxes, because the rich get more from the government.

T, helping those in need is just fine.

What’s not fine is being forced to do so via federal government gunpoint.

The needy would still be helped through a 10% flat tax because you would see sharp rise in donations to charity organizations.

Since Democrats are so generous and un-greedy (is that a word? It is now.) I’m sure that under a 10% flat tax they would take all that extra money that they used to give to Uncle Sam and instead donate it to all of their pet causes.

When I read the exemplars of their ideology here, it seems to me that a great part of the neo-con mindset is formed by a complete lack of courage.

They are in fact, often the absolute antithesis to it.

By that I mean that they are diametrically opposed to the sage advice of FDR and Churchill.

The former who said, “We have nothing to fear, but fear itself.”

The McCarthyites and neo-cons take on this is “We have everything and everybody to fear but ourselves.”

And the latter said, “Never give in—never, never, never, never.”

The rich would still pay more under a 10% flat tax. If someone makes 50,000 per year, they will pay 5000 in tax. If someone makes a million per year, they will pay 50,000 in tax. I’m really not clear in how that’s unfair.

All the whining about “tax loopholes” and “depreciation” costing the government money is ridiculous because the money doesn’t belong to the damn government in the first place.

The social security argument is equally worthless because SS shouldn’t even exist in the first place. We should pay more in tax to support that scam?

Laughable. At best.

As I said before, it’s fine to help the poor. But let’s leave it to private charity. A 10% flat tax would put a hell of a lot of cash back into the hands of private citizens.

This will give Democrats the ability to put their money where their mouths are and donate half of their paychecks to all of their favorite “causes”.

This will give Republicans the ability to put their money to work in starting businesses, creating new jobs and goods and services, increasing the tax base even more and giving the government even more tax revenue.

GOP activist Sadie Fields, an ultra-conservative Christian , says she is frightened by the prospect of an Obama presidency. As chairman of the Georgia Christian Alliance, she believes other members of the Republican faithful should be scared witless too.

I’ll give you three guesses.

When Fields discovered that her only daughter, Tess, is a lesbian, she “came over to where I worked, screaming, and told me I was ‘dead’ to the family,” Tess Fields wrote in an essay in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2002. “She called me ‘sick,’ ‘crazy,’ and ‘of the devil.’ “

My new Halloween decorations^^, boo!

Whether Obama wins or loses, the America in which Fields grew up —- preserved as perfect in the amber of her memory —- is passing away. The monochromatic America of Christian prayers before football games and New Testament scriptures read in fifth-grade classrooms; the America of all-white juries, an all-white Congress and all-white classrooms; the America of gay men denied security clearances out of fear they could be blackmailed and young pregnant women dying from coat-hanger abortions; the America of George Wallace, Phyllis Schlafly and Anita Bryant —- that America recedes before a new tide.

I do not mourn its passing.-Queen Pinko, Urinal

“I wrote to Secretary Paulson, I wrote to Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke, and told them this is something we have to deal with, and nobody did anything about it,” said the Illinois Senator.

I did, I wrote a letter!

Some may find it hard to believe that Mr. Obama had nothing to show for this herculean effort to shake up Washington. They may be shocked as well that such passionate language didn’t move the Fed and Treasury to action. For our part, we note that nowhere in his letter did Mr. Obama suggest that the government should stop subsidizing loans to people who can’t repay them.-WSJ

Wonderful.

Notice how the liberals will shove all of the wonderful ideas down your throat but not their own:

The most egregious example is the fact that more than 200 federal, state, and local tax liens adding up to more than $3 million have been filed against the ACORN network since 1989. All of these liens, which are only issued by creditor tax agencies after a tax debt has become seriously delinquent, are associated with ACORN’s 1024 Elysian Fields Avenue address in New Orleans, Louisiana.

ACORN stoutly defends the right of workers to organize unions, but the group doesn’t like it when its own workers try to organize. It has tried to stop its own employees from signing up with unions, and in 2003 the National Labor Relations Board determined it had unlawfully blocked its workers from organizing.

ACORN supports raising the minimum wage and enacting so-called living wage policies. Yet a 2003 study of ACORN by the Employment Policies Institute found the group paid a wage of $5.67 per hour, which was “less than half the level demanded by many proposed ‘living wage’ ordinances that ACORN supports.”

Sweet, isn’t it?

Raising taxes, indeed sharply raising every major Federal tax, increasing government spending by unprecedented trillions of dollars, and increasing regulatory costs by over another trillion dollars through Obama’s global warming energy plan, is not the way to restore the American economy to prosperity. This is the road to economic disaster. Yet this is precisely the “Change” that Obama and his ultraliberals are proposing. Cutting taxes on savers and investors, and on American companies facing tax burdens that leave them uncompetitive in the world economy, sharply cutting government spending, and avoiding unnecessary regulatory burdens are the only means of returning to prosperity. This is the Change We Need, but Obama and his ultraliberals promise to take us in exactly the opposite direction.

Obama has the entire country mesmerized by the promise of a measly $500 income tax credit for “95% of Americans.”-AmSpec

Jay, you are an idiot. Always so quick to point out a few off-base comments on the right and condemn conservatives, but what about the overwhelming oversupply of idiots on the left? All of the vile and unprovoked attacks on John McCain, Sarah Palin and any American who dares to espouse or express a viewpoint that is not in lockstep with the looney left! But that’s your opinion and no matter how wrong you are, you’re still entitled to it.

The “rich” foot the bill to get the Congress of thier choice elected then want the elected congress to bail their greedy carcasses out. Nannyism 101 for the corporate set… That’s right, the guvmint is only supposed to bail out rich folks and coporations that have already s** on their investors, then the corporate officers go to the spa… Great system… Andy must be a millionare, he has the time to post on here 24/7 (no job) and he wants 8 more years of this…

As for the 10% flat tax, what you idiots want to do is make me an IRS agent. I’ll have to collect 10% on all my companies sales and pay it to the IRS, yeah… like I need one more additional hassle in my day, like being a tax man for the guvmint… I run a small business, I have enough to do already planning my workdays around the lazy American worker who need to talk on their celly’s all day, and leave early most days due to personal engagements or to see their parole officers… I’d rather not become an IRS agent as well, they’re already doing their best to make me an INS agent…

NRB & etal,

Your comments are reflective of the real America. The election will be determined by the “RACE BALLOT” no matter what we think. The politicians know it and the press has to down play it for the sake of our country. Most minorities will vote for Obama. They would vote for him if he were white. The key vote will come from white people who hold no racial or religous prejuidice or do not think that they are superior in work effort and intellect. Joe the plumber has been very good for McCain because it put the face of a hard working white man in the minds of the majority voter. It sounds better to refer to Obama as a sociolist instead of an Arab, terrorist or the N word. America is what it is… Good and Bad.

You right-wingers should be happy you’re about to lose… now you can go back to blaming everything on that darn government, like you’re used to.

It was kinda awkward to hate the government and scream about its incompetence when you were running it—even though that’s when our government was at its worst.

Now you won’t have those problems. You can return to clean, simpleminded hate, where you’re the most comfortable. And America will MoveOn without you.

NRB - I read your comments where you said that you “think that citizens should have to pass a written exam before being allowed to cast a vote.”

I would suggest you look back at the reason for the VOTING RIGHTS ACT of 1965. People were being discriminated against by test, counting jellie beans, soap bubbles, etc….. People were also killed trying to gain the rights to vote.

NRB you are an IDIOT. I didn’t read through all of the comments, after that statement, so someone might have pointed this out to you.
