What is wrong with the Republican Party – ‘Maine Republican chairman questions black voters’

‘Maine Republican Party Chairman Charlie Webster is once again alleging possible voting irregularities, this time claiming that groups of unknown black people showed up in some rural towns to vote on Election Day’.

“In some parts of rural Maine, there were dozens, dozens of black people who came in and voted on Election Day,” he said. “Everybody has a right to vote, but nobody in (these) towns knows anyone who’s black. How did that happen? I don’t know. We’re going to find out.”

‘When Carrigan pressed Webster on where it happened, Webster provided no specifics or proof of his claims, but said the party would investigate further’.

‘When asked about the issue in an interview Wednesday with the Portland Press Herald, Webster again refused to provide specifics’.

‘He said his point is not that the new voters were black, but that they were not recognized by town officials’.

“I’m not talking about 15 or 20. I’m talking hundreds,” he said Wednesday. “I’m not politically correct and maybe I shouldn’t have said these voters were black, but anyone who suggests I have a bias toward any race or group, frankly, that’s sleazy.”

‘Megan Sanborn, spokeswoman for Secretary of State Charlie Summers, said Summers was shocked when he watched the video of the interview on WCSH’.

“Our office has not heard any complaints about Election Day,” Sanborn said. “Secretary Summers jealously guards the right of everyone to vote and feels that they should.”

“The only troubling thing is that Webster still believes in this garbage and that people still believe him,” Grant said. “The issue of voter fraud has been thoroughly vetted. His party suffers this huge loss and his response is not to reflect or go quietly, but to continue with fear-mongering and blame.”

‘Webster, a former lawmaker from Farmington who has said he will step down as party chairman when his term ends in December, has made similar claims in the past’.

‘He has long complained that Maine elections are too loose and open to voter fraud’.

‘Last year, he targeted college students when he alleged that more than 200 had voted in recent elections without establishing residency in the places where they voted’.

‘The Secretary of State’s Office reviewed Webster’s allegations and found no instances of fraud’.

What is wrong with the Republican Party – ‘Top Georgia GOP Lawmakers Host Briefing on Secret Obama Mind-Control Plot’

Unfortunately this is not ‘just some fringe group’.

This is in fact very common especially with not just extreme but more and more, just self described Conservatives.

This is who the Republican Party, wanting to ‘expand’ their party, opened it’s doors to .

And until Republican leadership and rank and file people say ENOUGH, this, what you think of as a ‘fringe group’, are the ones that wsill be dictating in the primaries who wins and loses. And by extension as the members of Congress will be watching, what legislation is and isn’t proposed and passed.

Republican wanted to open their doors to new members.

Look at the election.

Look at all the people that COULD have been interested in your party but because of this and no one speaking out, will never think of joining a political party that can’t accept that a black man won the Presidentcy of the United States so they make up a delusional fantasy World.

‘President Obama is using a Cold War-era mind-control technique known as “Delphi” to coerce Americans into accepting his plan for a United Nations-run communist dictatorship in which suburbanites will be forcibly relocated to cities’.

‘That’s according to a four-hour briefing delivered to Republican state senators at the Georgia state Capitol last month’.

‘On October 11, at a closed-door meeting of the Republican caucus convened by the body’s majority leader, Chip Rogers, a tea party activist told Republican lawmakers that Obama was mounting this most diabolical conspiracy’.

‘In August, when the Georgia Chamber of Commerce handed out its official grades for state legislators, Rogers got an A+’.

‘The meeting consisted of a PowerPoint presentation followed by a 90-minute screening of the anti-Agenda 21 documentary, Agenda: Grinding America Down’.

‘The presentation also featured a special video cameo from conservative talking-head Dick Morris in which the former Clinton aide warns that Obama “wants to force everyone into the cities from whence our ancestors fled.”

‘About 23 minutes into the briefing, Searcy explained how President Obama, aided by liberal organizations like the Center for American Progress and business groups like local chambers of commerce, are secretly using mind-control techniques to push their plan for forcible relocation on the gullible public’:

“They do that by a process known as the Delphi technique”.

“The Delphi technique was developed by the Rand Corporation during the Cold War as a mind-control technique. It’s also known as “consensive process.”

“But basically the goal of the Delphi technique is to lead a targeted group of people to a pre-determined outcome while keeping the illusion of being open to public input”.

See FOX ‘news’.(my insert)

‘In May, the Kansas Legislature approved a resolution blocking Agenda 21 from being implemented in its state, following in the footsteps of Tennessee’.

‘Rogers, the Georgia Senate majority leader, introduced legislation in January that would have blocked the nonbinding UN resolution from being applied to his state’.

‘If it seems as if Rogers is just repeating John Birch Society conspiracies, he is—literally. As in Tennessee, large portions of his 2012 bill, SR 270, were lifted word-for-word from draft legislation prepared by the Birchers’.

But it’s NOT Republican Voter Suppression – ‘Romney Co-Chair: Romney Would Have ‘Absolutely’ Won Wisconsin With Voter ID Law’

 

‘In an interview with Milwaukee’s ABC affiliate, the Romney campaign’s Wisconsin co-chair, state Sen. Alberta Darling (R), suggested that her candidate would have won Wisconsin but for the fact that the state’s voter ID law was declared unconstitutional by a state court’:

HOST: “Do you think photo ID would have made any difference in the outcome of this election”?

DARLING: “Absolutely, I think so”.

‘President Obama currently leads in Wisconsin by more than 200,000 votes’.

‘So Darling is suggesting that 200,000 people somehow managed to vote twice without anyone noticing — or perhaps that one person voted 200,001 times. Either one would require a conspiracy so massive it would make Fox Mulder blush’.

‘In reality, a study of the 2004 election in Wisconsin found that of the approximately 3 million votes cast, “only seven were declared invalid—all of which were cast by felons who had finished their sentences and didn’t realize they were still barred from voting’.

‘As a result, Wisconsin’s overall fraud rate came in at a whopping 0.00023 percent.”

Republicans 2016 – ‘Jindal rejects Romney’s ‘gifts’ theory’

Creationism and the falling state of education in Louisiana will be Bobby Jindal’s ‘gift’ to the 2016 race.

LAS VEGAS — ‘Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal forcefully rejected Mitt Romney’s claim that he lost because of President Barack Obama’s “gifts” to minorities and young voters’.

‘Asked about the failed GOP nominee’s reported comments on a conference call with donors earlier Wednesday, the incoming chairman of the Republican Governors Association became visibly agitated’.

“No, I think that’s absolutely wrong,” he said at a press conference that opened the RGA’s post-election meeting here’.

“Two points on that: One, we have got to stop dividing the American voters. We need to go after 100 percent of the votes, not 53 percent. We need to go after every single vote”.

“And, secondly, we need to continue to show how our policies help every voter out there achieve the American Dream, which is to be in the middle class, which is to be able to give their children an opportunity to be able to get a great education”. …
From : http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1112/83892.html?hp=l1_b1

‘Gov. Jindal is rather infamous for pushing the very stupidest of stupid right wing positions’;

‘he enthusiastically promoted and signed into law a bill in Louisiana that legitimizes the teaching of creationism under the disguise of “academic freedom.”

‘Jindal’s promotion of creationism outraged scientists across America; one scientific organization actually cancelled a major convention in protest’.

‘More recently, Jindal has also promoted legislation that allows Louisiana state funding to go to private religious schools that teach creationism and all kinds of other anti-science mind rot’.

‘And that’s not all, by a long shot. While a college student, Jindal took part in an exorcism, that he claimed cured a woman of cancer’.

A ‘great education’……

In 2009 –
