Voting Machines Gone Wild
Among the many worries facing the nation this Election Day, voting machines certainly rank high. Even during the primary season, there were claims that Sen. Hillary Clinton's numbers received a boost in "Diebold Districts," or voting centers that utilized the machines.Today, voting rights advocate Brad Friedman at The Brad Blog brought to everyone's attention that ES&S iVotronic touch-screen voting machines are flipping votes away from Democratic candidates in four states.

I work in the IT industry, and have a bachelors in programming. Who in their right mind would believe that computerized voting would ever be free of possible manipulation and errors. It is hard enough when it is done on punch cards, let alone when computer files can be so easily lost, corrupted, changed, stolen, and manipulated (intentionally and non-intentionally), and etc.

I want to hear that when you try to vote for a democrat, a cup of coffee is dispensed which drips the exact amount of moisture into the system to void that vote.

Democrat's claim when they try to vote on the newest voting machines the button to select the democratic candidates is a shock mechinism, which causes a reflex motion that jerks the hand just enough to push the republican button.

CHOOSE, MABUS OR OBAMA.
MCCAIN, IS A PETTY PETTY MAN WITH NO VISION FOR AMERICA.
HE IS A DINOSAUR, OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY.HE FAILS ON JUDGEMENT.

HE IS CERTAIN TO BRING ABOUT ARMEGEDDON IN OUR LIFETIME.
ENOUGH OF THE REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH FROM THE BOTTOM UP!
OUR CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE, NOT CANNON FODDER.

Palin has been a breath of fresh air. She is competent; she is honest; she is hard working; she embodies the spirit of America.
The media as disparraging as they have been, haven't been successful in their non stop barrage. She's not a kiss ass and they can't take it! The crowds love her SARAH SARAH SARAH USA USA USA SARAH USA SARAH

For one thing he's hiding Vera Baker in Martinique...courtesy of the outraged Michelle Obama. Word is Michelle originally became suspicious when she found out Vera was getting paid $50,000.00 for being a financial manager .... ooops already had a financial manager. Vera was shipped off to NY, but that wasn't far enough for Michelle... and now the lovely and lonely Vera hides out in Martinique.

Obama has a half a billion dollars ... I believe in public financing ... whoops, how much? .... no, I don't believe in public financing.
Obama doesn't require the name on the credit match the number ... one woman complained because $174,800 was fraudently charged to her credit card in different names over and over to donate to the Obama campaign.
