Can’t ask the guy about energy or gas prices without being considered an adversary.  I thought he was supposed to serve the people.

Watching the Admin & Finance committee proceedings on the City County Budget, Chairwoman Marilyn Pfiesterer (R-13th) along with Council President Bob Cockrum (R-22nd) stated their opinions the voter rolls have errors or have duplicates in the registration rolls.

Mrs. Pfiesterer stated she did a mailer to every registered voter within her Council District. She said 53% of those returned as bad address, or person moved and forwarding address expired. 53%. Over half of the registered voters - ARE NOT WHERE THE VOTER REGISTRATION SAYS THEY ARE!!!

No wonder why the illegal immigration problem is so bad - we can’t keep track of millions of illegals if we can’t even keep track of a few hundred thousand registered voters.

So someone could have a common name, such as “John Smith” - and even with photo ID go vote at multiple locations since the address doesn’t need to match the registration. Don’t get me wrong - the process of Voter ID is working. I’m just looking at a loophole that could affect a small percentage of situations. Every fraudulent vote cast [usually in favor of Democrats] cancels out a legitimate vote.

And what did the representatives of the Voter Registration Board proclaim? “Use your own party’s mailing lists rather than the registration rolls - The party lists are more accurate”

Ummm the Voter Registration rolls should be accurate too. Starting with decea….errr I should say “mortality challenged” voters.

It seems B. Hussein Obama feel the United States is in a dire state of distress. His tickets for his rally at Invesco Field during the Democrat National Convention depict Old Glory flying upside down! [Thanks for Gateway Pundit for the picture!]

Maybe during their rally to the aid of America’s distress they can all recite The Obamassiah’s Prayer.

I apologize for the technical problems we have been having today. Our tech is on it and we hope to have the problem completely resolved soon.

Over the weekend, I blogged about Baron’s new-found opposition to oil price speculators.

Baron now says that there is a loophole in the law that needs to be closed, and this loophole is responsible for the rise in gas prices since Baron was elected (up about 75% as of this posting).

Baron, of course, promised when he ran in 2006 that he would reduce gas prices if sent back to Congress, something that quite clearly has not happened.

In fact, Baron has said that anyone that points out his campaign promise to lower gas prices is an “adversary.”

But anyway, I noted that such opposition to oil speculators was interesting, given that the speculator legislation Baron now denounces came before a committee Baron Hill sat on, and Baron voted for the legislation that created the very speculator loophole he now says he wants to close.

The creation of this loophole was sought by now-defunct energy giant Enron; heck, the loophole itself is frequently dubbed the “Enron loophole” for just that reason.

It turns out, after a bit of digging, that Enron was a contributor to Baron Hill’s reelection campaign.
