GOD I HOPE THIS FRANKEN LOSER DOESN'T WIN
Fight Over Absentee Ballots Continues in Franken-Coleman Race
Wednesday, November 26, 2008 8:30 AM
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- When it comes to votes in Minnesota's drawn-out Senate election, five are particularly crucial.
That's how many people sit on the state Canvassing Board, which was to gather Wednesday to decide what to do about Democrat Al Franken's request to count absentee ballots his campaign says were wrongly rejected by poll judges.
Republican Sen. Norm Coleman's team is arguing that the board lacks the power to include those ballots in the high-stakes recount.
Coleman entered the recount guarding a 215-vote lead out of 2.9 million ballots cast. Through Tuesday night, state figures showed his lead stood at 238 votes when Nov. 4 tallies are compared with new counts in precincts where the recount is done.
That doesn't factor in the nearly 3,600 challenges that will get sorted out later, meaning the absentee fight could prove critical.
Franken's advisers say they know of more than 6,400 disqualified absentee ballots. Not all of the ballots would be fair game if the Franken push prevails.
Many were turned away because the voter wasn't properly registered. Other voters showed up in person after submitting a mail ballot, canceling the first ballot.
The Franken campaign has been pressing hardest for information on voters whose absentee ballots didn't count because there were problems with their signature or where possible clerical errors occurred.
The attorney general's office - run by a Democrat - has recommended against opening the rejected absentee ballots as part of the recount.
Both campaigns offered legal arguments to the canvassing board, which is made up of the secretary of state, two Supreme Court justices and two district judges.
Lawyers for Franken, an ex-"Saturday Night Live" personality, are citing a 1962 Supreme Court decision to argue that ballots should not be excluded because of technical mistakes or "an innocent failure" to comply with voting statutes.
His lead attorney, Marc Elias, said Tuesday he hopes the board will approve the counting of votes where the ballot rejection is debatable.
"It has the opportunity to do that and it has the authority and indeed I would say it has the obligation to do so," Elias said.
But Coleman's campaign sees its case as bolstered by 1858 and 1865 decisions by the Minnesota Supreme Court that discuss the "purely ministerial" role of canvassing boards in disputed elections.
"Boards of canvassers have no authority to pass upon the regularity of an election or the qualifications of persons voting thereat," reads the 1858 opinion in a disputed state Senate race.
Fritz Knaak, Coleman's lead recount lawyer, said including the rejected absentees would be "an unprecedented step, one that has never been done before in Minnesota and one that we believe undermines the legitimacy of the overall process that's been created."
Knaak said it's also unclear who would analyze those ballots and decide on them if they were included. He said the issue is best left to a lawsuit that could follow the recount if the losing party contests the result.

BAD CHOICE FOR OBAMA ADMIN?
Napolitano Bad Pick as Security Chief, Minutemen Say
Arizona Governor Napolitano has been nominated for Barack Obama's new White House administration. She is criticized on illegal immigration by the Minutemen. Napolitano vetoed a border wall and ending tuition aid for illegals.
Monday, November 24, 2008 6:29 PM
By: Dave Eberhart
Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano pushed into law the nation’s harshest penalty for employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants. But that’s not a good enough credential for her to lead the Department of Homeland Security — at least for the border guard watch group Minuteman Civil Defense Corps.
Minuteman President Chris Simcox doesn’t hesitate to lambaste Napolitano, who reportedly is president-elect Barack Obama’s top choice to head homeland security.
“I’m dubious at best," Simcox said. "This is a situation where you might as well put Barney the purple dinosaur in charge of homeland security.”
Simcox contends that problems associated with illegal immigration and drug smuggling pose the greatest threats to America’s security. But Napolitano, he says, hasn’t done nearly enough as governor of a state bordering Mexico to combat them. She would not be any more proactive as homeland security chief, he says.
“Miss Napolitano has no credentials when it comes to security, national security issues, military or law enforcement,” Simcox said during a report on KOVA-TV in Tucson.
On the other hand, Napolitano's signature law is a harsh measure that would take away the business license of a company on its second violation.
At the time of its passage last year, the second-term governor referred to it as the “business death penalty.” She also took the opportunity to slam the federal government for failing to act on rigorous immigration reform.
“The states will take the lead, and Arizona will take the lead among the states,” she said at the time.
Napolitano, who was Arizona’s attorney general and also U.S. attorney for the state, faces skepticism from the zero-tolerance Minutemen because of her willingness to compromise on items considered sacred icons by the border watch group.
For instance:
She vetoed a bill in 2005 that would have cut off in-state tuition aid to students who are in the country illegally. “This bill goes too far by punishing even longtime residents of this state who were brought here as small children by their parents,” she said, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times.
She vetoed bills that would have required the local police to enforce the immigration laws by arresting people in the state illegally.
She has not supported the border fence that is being constructed: “You show me a 50-foot wall, and I’ll show you a 51-foot ladder,” she has said.
She also proposed a temporary worker program that would help employers fill quotas for workers. “Foreign labor should not be a substitute for U.S. workers, but it is critical that we bring foreign workers out of the shadows, put the clamps on the underground labor market and bring greater stability to our workforce,” she has said.
Yet, along the way, she has been unrelentingly tough as well, according to the LA Times. Consider:
Last year, she outlined a series of measures to control immigration, including an enhanced national employer verification system that would use Social Security data.
She has advocated a streamlined visa process and “tamper-proof immigration documents” that would reduce the use of fraudulent identifications.
She was the first governor to call for stationing the National Guard along her state’s 376-mile border with Mexico.
But Brett Farley, executive director of the Arizona-based Minuteman PAC, said his organization has its own calculus, and Napolitano fails.
“Obama’s selection of Janet Napolitano as homeland security secretary could be the biggest attack on our security and sovereignty in our nation’s history,” Farley said.
“The only worse pick for such a position would have been John McCain. This is a slap in our faces.”
Farley lists some of the perceived grievous trespasses perpetrated under Napolitano’s administration. Under her watch, he said, Arizona has:
Become ground zero for illegal trafficking of drugs, weapons, humans, and money.
Seen a spike in violent crime and gang warfare.
Become the headquarters for an international crime syndicate run through Venezuela, Cuba, and Russia.
Seen the highest influx of illegal immigrants along the southern border.
Become known to the criminal world as the “open gate” to the U.S.
In any event, if Napolitano passes the Obama vetting process and runs the gauntlet through Senate confirmation, the 50-year-old will be taking charge of the nation’s third biggest department. She will be responsible for a whole host of security hot spots such as aviation and maritime security, disaster response, protecting the president. She’ll be in charge of a virtual army composed of the Coast Guard, Secret Service, Border Patrol, Transportation Security Administration and Federal Emergency Management Agency, according to a report in USA Today.
“The fact that she is a governor from a border state is extremely important,” says Randall Larsen, a terrorism and homeland security expert and former National War College professor.
But Farley rejects the border-state governor argument, as he and his organization maintain that she has abused that very position.
“Janet Napolitano has spent more time in Mexico coddling the Mexican government and working deals for amnesty than she’s spent working with the legislature in her own state!” Farley said.
“Never mind that, as a state governor, Napolitano has no — zip, zilch, nada — constitutional authority to negotiate with foreign governments on behalf of the United States.”

More on MEDIA BIAS in Support of Obama
Disgusting' Bias for Obama, Time Writer Admits
Sunday, November 23, 2008 5:40 PM
The mainstream media's support for Barack Obama's presidential campaign was so biased that even major insiders are now admitting they were shocked by its depth and depravity.
Last week, Time magazine's Mark Halperin called the media's performance during the campaign simply "disgusting."
Halperin told a panel of media analysts at the Politico/USC conference on the 2008 election, "It's the most disgusting failure of people in our business since the Iraq war."
He added, "It was extreme bias, extreme pro-Obama coverage."
According to the Web site Politico, Halperin, who edits Time's political site "The Page," zeroed in on two New York Times articles near the end of the campaign that profiled both Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama.
"The story about Cindy McCain was vicious," Halperin said. "It looked for every negative thing they could find about her and it cast her in an extraordinarily negative light. It didn't talk about her work, for instance, as a mother for her children, and they cherry-picked every negative thing that's ever been written about her."
But the Times gave Michelle Obama red carpet treatment, "like a front-page endorsement of what a great person Michelle Obama is."
Halperin, a former ABC News political director, allowed that some of the press coverage simply reflected the extreme efficiency of Obama's presidential campaign.
"You do have to take into account the fact that this was a remarkable candidacy," Halperin said. "There were a lot of good stories. He was new."
Obama also had a lot of money and outspent Republican John McCain by more than 2 to 1.
The press never bothered to hold Obama accountable for reneging on his promise to use public financing. McCain kept his promise to do so.
During the campaign, conservatives criticized the pro-Obama coverage, but it had little effect.
Columnist David Limbaugh noted: "Never has that been clearer than in the 2008 presidential election, during which they are covering up rather than covering Barack Obama's shady past and alliances, his knee-deep involvement in corrupt practices threatening the very core of our democratic system, and his many policy misrepresentations."
Limbaugh noted that the press went into a tizzy over Sarah Palin's wardrobe, but ignored extravagances like Obama's "obscenely idolatrous million-dollar Greek coliseum mirage."
Now that the election is over, Halperin is not alone in admitting the bias. The Washington Post's ombudsman recently conceded that the paper’s coverage was skewed strongly in favor of Obama and against the McCain-Palin ticket.

SOMETHING FROM NEWT....
Crony Capitalism, Predatory Politicians, and the Detroit Three
By Newt Gingrich
There's a term that's commonly applied to the economic systems of some Asian and Latin American countries. It's "crony capitalism."Crony capitalism is when government controls significant parts of the economy. Under this kind of bureaucratic micromanagement, politicians - not the free market - call the shots. And that means that the decisions that control the economy are of necessity political decisions, not economic ones.Crony capitalism is bad for government. Economic power in the hands of politicians breeds corruption.Crony capitalism is bad for democracy. Individuals and businesses outside favored industries have an unequal voice in self-government.Crony capitalism is bad for business. Politicians wedded to the status quo stifle growth and innovation.And there's one more thing about crony capitalism: It's come to America.
OUTRAGE!! Billion-dollar drug company hides astounding discovery of a natural cancer killer.
One pharmaceutical company actually made the 'discovery of the century' - a miracle breakthrough that could save you or someone you love from the ravages of cancer. But...
They hid the secret for SEVEN FULL YEARS...with no plans to tell anyone about it ever! Why? Because the substance they found is completely natural... so they couldn't take out a patent on it. Until one brave researcher came forward to break the silence-and tell the world about this true cancer cure. Click here to read the full story
Predatory Politicians Practicing Crony Capitalism Created the Economic CrisisIt's the nature of crony capitalism to expand; for government to acquire more and more of the economy.The agents of this expansion are elected officials. Call them "predatory politicians."Crony capitalism practiced by predatory politicians is at the root of the current financial meltdown.In exchange for campaign cash and support for favored constituents, predatory politicians aided and abetted the government-backed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as they created and fed the subprime mortgage market

Folks facing foreclosure get Holiday Hail Mary from Lenders
Holiday Gift From Fannie, Freddie: Foreclosure Halt
Kathryn Glass
The holidays could spell relief for many troubled homeowners, as two mortgage giants have decided to keep people in their homes a little longer.
Mortgage giants Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE) have announced they will suspend foreclosures between November 26 and January 9. The government-sponsored entities will use the time to determine if borrowers are eligible for a loan modification plan.
The loan modification program restructures mortgage loans so that primary payments do not exceed 38% of borrowers’ monthly income before taxes.
The program applies to homeowners whose loans are held by Fannie and Freddie that are at least three months behind on their mortgage payments, in an effort to slow the increasingly dire mortgage crisis

BESMAYA RANGE COMPLEX, Iraq, Nov. 20, 2008 –
A group of Iraqi soldiers stepped up to help California residents victimized by recent wildfires raging throughout the state.
Iraqi army Col. Abbas Fadhil, Besmaya Range Complex commander, and his team of “Abbas’ Eagles” raised $500 for wildfire relief.
“We want to send a message to the American president and the American people,” Abbas said.
“We feel that we are a family — one body. When one part of the body suffers, the other parts suffer, too.”
This is the fourth donation the soldiers of Besmaya have sent to the American people recently. In September, they raised $1,500 for victims of hurricanes Gustav and Ike. The Eagles also donated $500 to the National Sept. 11 Memorial.
