It really doesn't help voter fraud...@ 1:45 AM <br /><br />It really doesn't help voter fraud honestly, I've been one of the people who were harassed for being 'Mexican' for having ambiguously dark skin and had people breathing over my shoulder as I voted the first time. <br /><br />Listen carefully to what he said about it though, he said 8% of the Wisconsin Vote is fraud. Let this sink in for a moment, 8% doesn't sound like much but do that multiplied by Wisconsin's population.<br /> <br />5,654,774 x 0.08 = 452,381<br /><br />That is that is bigger than the whole population of the metropolitan area of Green Bay the third biggest city in the state. It's better than the City of Madison. Are you suggesting that many votes actually don't <i>count</i>? If it is true, I think Van Hollen is doing a shitty job catching all these fraud voters and all these people who are voting twice.<br /><br />Here is a more realistic number.<br /><br />5,654,774 x 0.0002 = 1,131<br /><br />While still a lot, they'd be easier to pick out now huh? I won't lie, I know people on both sides of the party who voted twice. <br /><br />To be honest would be all for voter ID, if it weren't for the small print there that it isn't funny that you have to look through. I've gone to vote, showed my ID one time and still got questioned because I wrote 'dr.' instead of 'drive' like on my license when my face was clearly on it and had some respective mail from the bank with me. This? Is not cool. <br /><br />It should be proof enough if you bring your ID and papers where you live, and you shouldn't be harassed about it. You should be forced into long lines questioned about it in great detail and interrogated and force all citizens to just stand and wait, being a major hassle. This is what the problem is going on and you can't defend it. <br /><br />Some people need because they have to work that day or those who live out in rural areas that have a hard time getting to the nearest place to vote at times. <br /><br />Frankly, I don't expect anything to be done about this from the any party - the Democrats won't say a word, One Wisconsin Now is trying it's best but people don't seem to get exactly why it's wrong and illegal by law ... And well, the GOP of Wisconsin , Tea Party, or Americans for Prosperity to responsibility for this until after the election so I have been traveling for everyone to bring their proper ID and their papers because they're going to get harassed. A lot. Exactly like my family and I were when we were all born citizens in America.

I have my certain disagreements with Obama such as the healthcare fiasco where all of the representatives acted like children, but he is much better than George W. Bush and old Ronald Reagan who rank as both the first and second worst presidents of our time.<br /><br />I don't have to look at Wikipedia, in fact you should look at it yourself. <br /><br /><i> > Fascism (pronounced /ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a radical and <b>authoritarian nationalist political ideology</b>. Fascists seek <b>to organize a nation according to corporatist perspectives, values, and systems, including the political system and the economy.</b> (Sounds more like Prosperity for America. Once again, I feel sorry for the Tea Party. Nothing but pity. ) <br /><br /><b>Fascism was originally founded by Italian national syndicalists in World War I who combined left-wing and right-wing political views, but it gravitated to the political right in the early 1920s.</b> <b>Scholars generally consider fascism to be on the far right of the conventional left-right political spectrum</b></i><br /><br />Fascism isn't right winged in intent, but it grows right wing the longer it exists and the more power it grows. While yes, Communism can be fascist in practice - it is because the movement grows right winged itself. It goes so far left that it rolls back into place of those of Cuba under Fidel Castro and Vietnam under Ho Chi Minh.<br /><br />(Also other examples that moved to the political right, Romania, the Soviet Union, and many others.) <br /><br />I am person who worked in the media Bing, but eventually grew sick and disgusting of the marketing manipulation I've seen in this propaganda and those expensive commercials from both sides of the political party is ridiculous. I am sick of getting the pieces in the mail when I know how much they're worth, how much money is spent on this campaigning over actual issues when our state is flooding out west. I get bombarded with Ron Johnson phone calls four times a goddamn day combine that with Scott Walker's war chest and see their commercials on television I swear during the same break and yes once even back to back. I look all over on the web and sees them plastered everywhere and I get it on my cellphone and it makes me so disgusted because I know the money that works behind this. <br /><br />Because I worked in this industry.<br /><br />All I can think during this, is how much money is being spent for their benefit when there is a fucking flood in Wisconsin and many are left without power and are homeless. <br /><br />It almost makes me want to run myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-57818921025876592432010-09-27T16:10:36.468-05:002010-09-27T16:10:36.468-05:00I will 'toss around' any term I want to th...I will 'toss around' any term I want to thank you.

They are more like <b>fascists</b> than socialists. </i><br /><br />Don't toss that term around, I don't call the far right that. Fascism was first used as a term for the totalitarian <b>right-winged</b> nationalist regime of Mussolini. The Nazis in Germany and of course Franco in Spain as well were fascist. <br /><br />As far as I'm concerned, the Tea Party is not completely terrible - just the people the people behind it. Many of the individuals and common men, women, and many others alike who support it are doing it in believing what they are doing is right thing. The problem is the issue that it's the Koch brothers who's combined worth is behind the Tea Party itself. Their combine worth makes them behind Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. This in itself is disturbing. They are just puppets to these big organizations that they will never see and that is what is terrible about this. I don't feel any hate for the Tea Party but rather feel sorry for the people because they're being duped into massive media that just keeps spending.<br /><br />I don't believe that people in the Tea Party are racist, greedy, terrible or anything nor do I believe all Republicans are the same way. Genuinely, most of them are probably thinking what they're doing is the right thing just like you and I. But I must wonder, what happened to Racine which was once the very place that fought for a man's freedom before the Civil War to become so hateful? <br /><br /><b>The people who were in power, the Conservative Republicans - are the very same people who denied coverage for 9/11 victims. And still keep denying them. Many are dying slow and painful deaths from breathing in the asbestos. </b><br /><br />How do you find this right? I personally wish there was a party that wasn't just a sock puppet of the Grand Old Party. I wish the GOP would go back to what it used to be - with Abraham Lincoln, La Follette, Teddy Roosevelt. And think about the interest of the people and not the corporate interests wants.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583157134881112619.post-81889436172904267522010-09-26T13:23:14.339-05:002010-09-26T13:23:14.339-05:004:28 - you are right.
