They Will Never Get It

Its unbelievable. We are not even a month removed from the elections and these idiots are already back to their old tricks. Are they completely deaf? What really surprised me is that James Inhofe joined 7 other liberal Republicans in voting down a ban on earmarks (another article). But its good to see this because these liberal RINO's need to go and this just puts another nail in their coffins.

It also appears that the Fed bailout of 2008-2009 is an even bigger debacle than even the most cynical of us could have believed.

Recount Shenanigans

Why is it that ballots are always "found" in races where the Democrats are losing. It happened here in MN when Al Franken stole the Senate election in 2008. Now, I'm not being facetious when I say that, he really did steal it. I documented how here and here.

It appears that things are no different now in 2010. Missing ballots continue to be found for losing Democrats:
