Local Vote Fraud
Our Calhoun Democrat Party Chairperson was discovered to have voted twice in the last election, and reportedly admitted it at one hearing. The judge dismissed the case with no finding of guilt. When concerned citizens protested, the local DA took it to the Grand Jury. There is a well known courthouse joke that any DA worth his salt can indict a ham sandwich with a Grand Jury if he wants to, but in this case they voted “No Bill”. This little legalistic trick also prevents any further investigation by State authorities under the Texas Constitution guarantees against double jeopardy. At least in this instance. Whether this charade is based on personal friendship, pity, or Party loyalty, it reeks of political cover-up.
My first reaction was, “Is anyone surprised? This is a Democrat County, and they are Democrats being Democrats, Vote Fraud is a long recognized tool of the Democrat Party. So What?!” On second thought, “What if these were Republicans?” The Media lap-dogs would be howling 24/7, other Republicans would shun them at best, and most would be demanding a complete investigation and trials for the guilty. This is not because all Repubs are such paragons of virtue, there are greedy, self-centered, ideological fanatics, narcissists, Repukes, and RINOs, but most Republican voters are trying to get rid of them because they are an embarrassment and hurt us all. The Democrat Party however will defend, deny, ignore, even lie and cover up any malfeasance by any Democrat leader or politician. It is a knee-jerk reaction. Expected by any thinking person regardless of political party or persuasion. This strikes at the very heart of Equality before the Law, Constitution Govt, and the very idea of a democratic republic.
Why does this situation exist and why do we tolerate it? Is it because the Democrat Party has become so institutionally corrupt at the Federal level that they encourage corruption at the State and local level? There are plenty of Federal laws to punish any election misfeasance, much less willful malfeasance and a cover-up, but the idea of the Holder Dept of (In)Justice punishing anyone in this case, or any Democrat, is totally laughable. Is it because the Lib/Progressives have turned the Democrat Party into “Communist-Lite”? Buying votes from the ignorant and un-invested, promising a Socialist Utopia while stealing the taxpayers blind and building unsupportable debt to finance crazy schemes for themselves and cronies, and wasting millions on endless parties for The Inner Circle and their apparatchiks? Complacency has let this pimple of Vote Fraud to metastasize into a malignant cancer. Is the real message here that Vote Fraud is to be excused for Democrats? Is it now “RACIST!” to even mention it? What if there is a next strong Republican administration with Repub Congress? Are they to be allowed to cheat on elections, choose what laws they want to enforce, and against whom? I say NO! And I seriously question the integrity of anyone that would tolerate it in the Democrat Party.
We are now seeing the harvest of President Dither’s foreign policy of Apology Tours, ham-stringing our military, supporting and arming “moderate, democratic Muslims”, denying permission for special operations rescue missions, and babbling on to the media his “plans” for inaction, general incompetence, and reluctance to take any stand other than promising to stand with the Muslims if the political winds turn against them. Probably the only promise he has even tried to keep. Al Qaeda/ISIL/ISIS, the Taliban, & Boko Harum are expanding and murdering thousands, our economy continues to stagnate in most of the US, massive illegal immigration is costing millions, race relations are the worst since the Rodney King riots, “Polar Bear Hunting” is the new urban sport, and after 214 months of no increase in “Global Warming” & two years of growing polar Ice caps both he and Hillary Clinton still think that Global Warming the greatest threat to the US. Global Warming and new Carbon Taxes are the only issue they have any interest in addressing. But, the EPA may add 757 more species to the Federal Endangered List. (Maybe freedom-loving Texans is one?) I wonder at what cost? Obama wants us to believe that the ISIL/ISIS/al Qaeda Islamic Caliphate is not Islamic?!? And we should continue to support the “moderate” Syrian rebels. What about the 43 Toyota Hilux pickups he gave them that were immediately transferred to the ISIS war in Syria? Obama is either a self-deluded idiot or a traitor. Hope and Change has become Hoax and Chains. Please think about the real issues and threats to you and to America when you vote this November.
You may not to get to vote for the candidate you want, but you know the Party that we can NOT afford any longer. At any level.
