BAMZ! is ruining it for GOP fund raising. The last time we had a Republican administration, the GOP were finally seeing the fruits of their deregulation: skyrocketing unemployment combined with a drastic, almost catastrophic loss of jobs around the country. Big banks, with their risky bets, helped the Republicans bring Americans together...in unemployment lines and soup kitchens.
Now BAMZ! is dividing the country by exposing the Republicans as liars who swear he is ruining America by his longstanding tradition of creating jobs to push his partisan agenda of economic recovery. Bad BAMZ, bad!!!
During the last Republican administration, unemployment numbers were up to 10%. Employment rolls decreased in 11 out of 12 months in 2008, some months by as many as 800,000. And just when Americans were coming together in unemployment lines, BAMZ! sought to put a stop to it by lowing unemployment numbers. Unfair!!!! What are the Republican POTUS candidates supposed fund raise on now?
FRANKFORT — Some of the most powerful public officials in Clay County corrupted elections in recent years, buying and stealing votes in pursuit of power and money, a federal jury ruled Thursday.
The jury convicted all eight people on trial, including former Circuit Judge R. Cletus Maricle, 66, and former school Superintendent Douglas C. Adams, 58, on a charge that they engaged in organized criminal acts to rig elections.
After a seven-week trial, jurors deliberated about nine hours before convicting the defendants on all the charges they faced, which included vote-buying, mail fraud, extortion and money laundering.
WICHITA — The top election official in Kansas has asked a Sedgwick County judge to block the release of voting machine tapes sought by a Wichita mathematician who is researching statistical anomalies favoring Republicans in counts coming from large precincts in the November 2014 general election.
Secretary of State Kris Kobach argued the records sought by Wichita State University mathematician Beth Clarkson aren’t subject to the Kansas open records act and their disclosure is prohibited by Kansas statute. His response, which was faxed Friday to the Sedgwick County District Court, was made public Monday.
Hmmm, it seems that the political party most worried about voter fraud is the same party committing the fraud.

And the beat goes on... Vote Buying Is at Center of Kentucky Judge-Executive Case Then, to top it off, the guy hired one of the other vote-buyers to be his "administrative assistant" after his prison sentence ended. The irony of all this is that - as was noted earlier in the thread - the POINT of the ACRU (the source for these stories) is, consistent with the ROT, to undermine confidence in election results, in support of bogus election-fraud suppression efforts. But, the net generally catches Republicans. The ACRU is meant to sound like the ACLU, but is, in fact, the opposite (ya gotta read the fine print: "Since the 2010 elections, 15 states have put common-sense laws in place to help prevent cheating — but too many have not. In 2011, measures requiring photo ID were approved in 14 states, but five were vetoed by liberal governors.")

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
