Gov't Computers Used to Find Info on Joe the Plumber

Politics | Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 8:57:40 pm PDT

We’re living in Orwell’s nightmare.

Government computers in Ohio may have been illegally accessed to find information on Joe the Plumber.

State and local officials are investigating if state and law-enforcement computer systems were illegally accessed when they were tapped for personal information about “Joe the Plumber.”

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher became part of the national political lexicon Oct. 15 when Republican presidential candidate John McCain mentioned him frequently during his final debate with Democrat Barack Obama.

The 34-year-old from the Toledo suburb of Holland is held out by McCain as an example of an American who would be harmed by Obama’s tax proposals.

Public records requested by The Dispatch disclose that information on Wurzelbacher’s driver’s license or his sport-utility vehicle was pulled from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles database three times shortly after the debate.

Information on Wurzelbacher was accessed by accounts assigned to the office of Ohio Attorney General Nancy H. Rogers, the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Toledo Police Department.

It has not been determined who checked on Wurzelbacher, or why. Direct access to driver’s license and vehicle registration information from BMV computers is restricted to legitimate law enforcement and government business.

question, again, is

Will McCain call out the left on this ?

will Bush appoint a special prosecutor ?

Not only do I like Joe for asking the question. I like the way he has handled the loaded-gun follow up questions. When they say, "You would actually get a tax cut under Senator Obama's plan," he says "If somebody works hard to get ahead, I don't want their money."

This explodes liberal heads everywhere, because they have spent their lives amongst people who do not understand the integrity of the real people who populate "middle" America. Which is a large portion of "actual" America.

Republicans are to blame for the McCain nom since I hear that Romney was better qualified, but were afraid because he is Mormon.... so now we might have a closet muslim. Just great.

got this email and its fitting in a dark way.

Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money." I laughed.

Once in the restaurant my server had on a "Obama 08" tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference -- just imagine the coincidence.

When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.

I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.

At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more.

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.

If this was a lib and they thought McCain or one of his surrogates was behind this, it would be the biggest event in the history of the earth.

"When I was face to face with him, my honest first impression was that I expected something more. I had heard so much about 'his presence' in the media that I was surprised to find that he seemed very average," Mr. Wurzelbacher wrote in a live online chat on WashingtonTimes.com

This is why I wanted to see The One when he was in my area in July (unfortunately, I was out of town). I tend to be utterly immune to political charisma and I wanted to see what he actually was like in person. I would have loved to shake his hand and say, "No, sir, actually I wouldn't vote for you in a million years. Have a nice day."

It is a misdemeanor to use the system for non law enforcement purposes.

BMV records are not the only records which can be accessed by the leads system. A criminal records check can also be done.

Is the message from the left that people who do not want their civil liabilities exposed to the public should not ask questions that might portray Barack in a negative light?

I like to do the keyboard mash and pound. It makes for messy but difficult to guess passwords.

WRONG! Palin was hacked because the perp looked up her vitals on line and was able to guess in about six trys one secret question.

Making arguments like, "0bama scares me" is making an emotional argument just like the 0bamabots do in favor of him, and personally- I think our side can do better than that. The man has no qualifications, he's the most liberal Senator in Washington, his views are far from the mainstream of this country and even many in his own party. Emotional arguments do not further our cause.

How about "this man's personal history, legislative track record, and poor understanding of economics and foreign policy, make me fear for the future of my country and its citizens".

What the media and the Obama sock puppets did to Joe W. is disturbing. For merely asking a question to Zero they exposed his personal life for all the world to see. They went as far as exposing his civil liabilities.

Is the message from the left that people who do not want their civil liabilities exposed to the public should not ask questions that might portray Barack in a negative light?

Should those in Joe Ws position be silent from now on?

The company I work for does IT work for the state government. I've had my background checked twice, one for the agency I work for and again by the agency who owns the building the datacenter is located in.

While I won't rule out the possibility its probably someone in their IT dept that did it, as an IT professional I'm appalled by the lack of ethics. Partisanship shouldn't cloud your judgment when you're in a position of the public trust. Weather you're a civil service employee, contractor, or even a temp.

Then again, I held a security clearance in the Army and worked in a SCIF for two years. I know if I were to pull a stunt, there's the possibility of being caught and ruining my career for the rest of my life. That is if I don't go to jail over it.

The key issue to the "Joe the Plumber" story, which the media often attempt to hide, is that Obama walked down Joe's street and up Joe's driveway where the now-famous exchange took place.

Many think this exchange took place at a "campaign rally" and Joe was a McCain "plant."

The guy was standing in his driveway, and asked a man running for national office a simple question.

How disgraceful that the "mainstream" media and the Obama campaign have attempted to smear this private citizen who asked a question to a candidate who walked up his driveway.

Hillary had 18 million votes. Even a small percentage of those going to McCain can be the difference between victory and defeat. Go read a few PUMA blogs if you're uncertain these folks mean to defeat 0bama. Because they're more pumped to pull the lever for McCain than some on our side are.

They just have to be in the right states.

Oh for pete sake. The polls are weighed. I put a story about polling in the spinoffs on the overnight thread. They get their sample and then tinker with the numbers. In fact- the article I linked was a Q & A where it's basically admitted they have no idea what they're doing.

258 jaunte  Fri, Oct 24, 2008 9:50:01pm

From the article:
The attorney general's office is investigating if the access of Wuzelbacher's BMV information through the office's Ohio Law Enforcement Gateway computer system was unauthorized, said spokeswoman Jennifer Brindisi.

"We're trying to pinpoint where it came from," she said. The investigation could become "criminal in nature," she said. Brindisi would not identify the account that pulled the information on Oct. 16."

How hard could it be to determine an IP address and the person who was there on that day?

I agree. It is the cool head that prevails in the thick of fight. I am fairly certain that McCain will will win probably by 4 to 8 electoral votes. We just have to keep focused on the real issues and do what we can to turn the table on the media and others who are and will continue to demoralize those who oppose Barry. My biggest fear is not some much the economic disaster that will happen but the fact this election will, no matter who wins, create even a greater division our country. We need to stop thinking about them and us and think about the US.

Pat,

I am a Jew and so is NY Grampa....we would not vote for him for a billion $$$$$$$$ tax free to each of us.

And I have friends, Jewish and non-Jewish, who are as scared of him as we are, as they read and watch non-leftie sites...hard to find, I will admit.

This Jew would spit in Obama's smirking, smug, arrogant face if given the chance.

Getting our 4 kids to wake up? We still haven't given up.

The Jews are so much in the pocket of the Demonrats from early in the last century...the current Jews do not yet recognize that the Demonrats are so different from the Party of old that their immigrant great grandparents, grandparents, parents, etc belonged to...it frightens me to think of what it would take for them to wake up. I damned well pray that voting for Hussein will not be it...they still can wake up...

My Jewish ancestors came over in the 1800s. The are much more conservative than the Jews that came from socialist Europe in the 1940's and inexplicably believe that somehow liberalism is virtuous. One would think the horrors of Stalin and Hitler would have taken care of that.

People in MO, OH and PA have to be nuts to vote for a single Democrat. In MO they had the same types threatening people these so called lawyers and law enforcement officials said if anyone put out any ads that so called "were not true" about THE ONE, then those people would be punished under the law. They were people in power either by their legal professions or by law enforcement. Some were elected. The same thing is going on in OH, and it is time for us to know just who in our communities are going to do something like this.

First Obama wants to drive a wedge between the races, and now between communities and those we believe are there to protect us. I believe there is an Alinsky rule for radicals that applies here! Something about dividing the people, and causing us to not know who we can trust.

Looks like Joe the Plumber might have just struck the mother load of all lawsuits. This is what good lawyers are supposed to do; defend us from thugs like these! I hope he finds some really good ones! Like those defending Lt. Col. Chessani!

Some have said this is like "1984" or "Animal Farm" and I agree, but this is becoming way to close to Stalin in my opinion. The actions of the Obama campaign and Obama are too real, and in our faces for it to be compared to some fictional literary work. It is too freaking real! This is no longer the "Twilight Zone", this could be our lives in less than 11 days!

My grandfather-in-law went against the unions in WI and never worked again. Grandma-in-law had to support the family. 5 Kids.
My friend's father went against the union in Detroit. He was murdered.
6 kids.

re: #187 pat

57% of Jews are going to vote for Obama. In fact every Jew is know is going to vote for him , with the exception of some in my immediate family. Party identity is far more important to these people than survival. Believe me. They will sacrifice Israel rather than be scorned at a cocktail party.

I get the Democrat thing, but I cannot fathom or reconcile the facts indicating Jews may not be on the most favored status of THE ONE. What part of dividing Jerusalem did they not get, or Jesse's comments, or any of the other statements made by Obama that should scare the hell out of any Jew? Khalidi? To quote a Jewish person, "OY!"

I do not care if they vote by a large margin for Obama. I will forever measure a candidate by their desires to protect Israel. As a Gentile I take very seriously the part about Jews being God's chosen people. As an American, I take very seriously their democracy and position in the Middle East and an our ally.

Mine came in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries...and went to NY and Boston....most from Kovno, Lithuania...one of the lizards who is a friend has family with the same surname as one side of my family. She was joking that we must be distant cousins. My maternal Granddad zt"l was an East Ender, who served in the Royal Navy as an apprentice, at age 14. His parents were also from Lithuania. Sadly, both Granddads died before I was born, and I am named in their memory.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. The media isn't interested in informing, but rather desire to be kingmaker for a few years. It's like a game. Olbermann and Matthews and Maddow and Paul Krugman and all the other nuts in the Loony Left Media insist on Obama, and if you don't agree then your ass is grass. Take Doug Feith. He wrote the only actual insider Washington memoir about the reasoning surrounding the war on terror and he backed it up with actual textual evidence, including declassified documents. And it defended the conduct of the Bush Administration. And the New York Times didn't even review it.

When the lefties are living in denial, you know that they know that they are wrong. But it seems to only get them MORE riled up, and they wail about hope and change and 'spreading the wealth'.

Goddamn. It's serious to everyone but the media and the lefties. They just want their turn driving the car, their turn piloting the ship. And I'm pretty darn sure they plan to drive it off the road or onto the rocks.

As a former government worker I came across a lot of sensitive information in my job. Part of the job is integrity. I, like the rest of the taxpayers don't want the government delving into my personal life unless there is a criminal warrant out for me and I am dangerous.

The people that looked at Joe's records are lacking the qualities a person wants in a government employee. Sadly, sometimes it is the long time manager that feels the need for greed.

What is effective here is to write/email the organizational leader and the people and ask about ethics violations. As long as it's not the leader that is in question, you can usually start a process that clarifies the issue. You also need to ask for a response back. In a political year for a political issue there are lots of low hang fruit. Ask if these are people associated with ACORN.

I'm nauseated at the thought that those that want a handout forget, or ignore the expense of whom that handout comes from.

I pray to God daily, indeed, hourly....to heal this country. Whether it be the press that so eagerly brought down Nixon (the same press that ignores Obama's relationships with, well, everybody, yet feels so inclined to puruse Sarah Palin's, or Joe Wurlzelbacher's life story down to the penny, date, offense, and speeding ticket as if each was a national disaster.

I have sworn to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, against ALL enemies, Foreign AND domestic.

How many others have sworn the same allegiance? To sit and contemplate the possibility of Congress "unilaterally" poking into 401Ks and Roth IRAs is unconscionable. To think that we put money into those vehicles strictly for us, after having worked so hard to earn that money, and to dedicate it to our own personal use...and then to wake up and "allow" San Fran Nan to stick her syrup-covered fingers in it is beyond the pale.

Help me Lizards....while I have not lost faith, I have resigned to the fact that for the next 4 years self-sacrifice and self-determination wouldn't mean anything.

Tell that to Jefferson, Washington, Adams, Lafayette. Ask, no, BEG Pelosi, Reid, et al, to re-afffirm their allegiance to a document that is now become so muddled that the bulk of Washington D.C. has forgotten, or worse, erased what it's memory meant.

I get the feeling that Joe has some money and was looking to get involved in a business in which he could invest/buy. Not enough has been explained about this, but he had to have some source of income to pay the legal fees to get custody of his son.

Perhaps family money . . .

I find that doubtful.

I think you need it for commercial work, but not residential, and it varies from county to county or within certain city limits - something like that. There may also be some requirements that are impacted by apprentice programs.

Whatever it is, I don't think he was under the impression he was doing anything illegal - and what I've asked people is, why didn't Joe's employer insist he have a license, if one was needed for the kind of work he was doing?

Your gramps were called Nana? (oh, probably Nan --the "a" being the feminine version)

My Granddads died before I was born. But my 2 Grandmothers were Bubbe and Grammy...my Mum zt"l was 'Nana', so my kids use 'Nana' for me.

The funniest was when my now 2-year old grandson kept saying 'Nana, nana, nana'...when he was too young to know that was me..daughter called me, laughing, and then she asked him to show her 'nana"...he pulled her by the finger into the kitchen, and pointed at the bananas on the wooden banana tree on the counter. ;)

She reported back. Talk about a deflated ego! But I still laugh.

re: #376 ggt

IIRC there is no "federal" standard for "organic", "natural", and most of the other labels. There is one, but I can't remember what it is --perhaps "pesticide free" or "no msg" or something.

It's all a marketing tool used to cater to those who think it matters. All molecules are god-made --we just rearrange them.

Actually there is a standard .....but it is a certification process .... you are inspected by USDA certified independent inspectors ...but I know people who are certified organic and the inspectors do come and inspect but it does not happen often and it is not random .......there are certifying agencies throughout the country .....it would not be in the best interest of the inspecting agencies if they failed too many people ...... I am not saying that there are not people out there that try to do the right thing ..... I am just saying it is mainly an honor system .....if you are certified organic you can use the words "certified Organic" ...... if not you are not supposed to use the word organic ..... but many do .....the term "natural" ...... can be plastered on anything and often is ......mostly at a much higher price ........

I looked it up. In order to be licensed in Ohio, you have to have five years as an apprentice working under a licensed plumber. Joe will reach his 5 years in November, if he ever gets a chance to work again.

The media spotlight is bad enough, but when people in government are combing through your records to see what they've got on you, that's even worse.

Today's Democrats are scary people, imo.

In all my government career it was a serious "loss of job" no-no to malignantly misuse a public record. But unfortunately people do. Government employees can be insecure people like MSM reporters that they feel the need to abuse their positions. sometimes these are the elected. One can usually tell they are that way once you talk to them. Can't be trusted.

I doubt Sen Obama can be trusted with the keys to public records. I am guessing there will be legislation to make the taxpayer more examined for appropriate social justice and global warming behaviors.

IIRC, Joe was working for a licensed plumber in Ohio on residential homes - which is apparently allowed by Ohio law. Maybe he saw how much the boss was making, I know he'd applied for the license requisite for home plumbing work and he just figured that if he was gonna work 12-14 hours a day, 7 days a week, then he might as well start his own business!

Buy them some books about it for Christmas. Talk to them about it. The last few days, I've been thinking of the tale of the little red hen and what a great parable it is for capitalism. I was thinking how it would be great for older kids to read it again and discus it with them- do they see that parable? Teenagers should read Animal Farm and 1984.

Latest Report on McCain Sign Status on Commute Route of Quickredfox:

As was no doubt inevitable, a couple of nights ago a jerk or jerks unknown defaced the two large handmade McCain signs with black spray paint, using a circle/slash and some squiggles, and put some lines through a couple of the smaller signs. One of the smaller signs was missing entirely.

I determined to undertake a midnight mission to do some de-defacing. I obtained a can of white spray paint and, calling upon my madd tagging skillz, set off around 10 pm (well, not quite midnight, but "10 pm mission" just doesn't have the same ring to it). In addition to covering over the black marks on the big signs, I kidnapped one of the marked-up smaller signs (one of the white on blue official signs) and took it home so I could repaint the parts of the white lettering that had been blackened, the smaller sign needing a narrower line than what the spray-paint could provide. I used quick-drying paint, and soon returned the sign to its former location. The other small one at that location was too solidly planted in the ground for me to move, so I put some temporary signs I had made over it, covering the damage. By then it was around 11:30, so it was practically a midnight mission after all.

No doubt the jerk will return, but if so, I have more white paint.

Today when I drove the route, the sign owner had been back and put up a couple of shiny new blue and white signs, and attached my temporary ones to a corner of the big sign. Meanwhile, a second O sign (boo) has shown up on the route, but the McCain signs still well outnumber them, being presently 6 in number, or 9 if my temporary signs are also counted.

Um, sorry for the repost, but this is getting longer and speedier by the minute, so to sorta stay on topic (and cause I think it bears repeating):

Wait a friggin' minute here. Is this the same Ohio where the Secretary of State REFUSED to share information with the Board of Elections to better help the Board verify the authenticity of all those 600,000
plus ACORN registered voters (over 200,000 of which the Board was able to throw out because they were so clumsily faked)?
But they can find the time to use government computers to check out a guy who asked Obama a question which Obama, uncharacteristically enough, answered in a truthful manner?!
WTF?!?

In one of the wealthiest Boston suburbs (Dover) that's along my commute there's a huge house along one of the main country roads. A few weeks ago 6 to 8 Obama signs were placed along their property. Last Monday I noticed that someone had painted Hammer & Sickle symbols on each of the signs. I neither approve nor condone such a thing, but I have to admit that I was amused.

Uh, PVC pipe is loved by plumbers all over the place because it is so malleable and so much easier to get in and around other things.
However, LOTS of questions have been raised about using PVC pipe because when it burns, it sets off truly noxious and frequently poisonous fumes.

I didn't know PVC was illegal in some jurisdictions. I know there was a big razoo 10 or 15 years ago (maybe more) when builders were using polybutylene pipe - which apparently wasn't a good idea. But I hadn't heard of problems with PVC.

The Trees (Rush)

There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas.

The trouble with the maples,
(And they're quite convinced they're right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade.

There is trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all have fled,
As the maples scream "Oppression!"
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
"The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light."
Now there's no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

My Jewish ancestors came over in the 1800s. The are much more conservative than the Jews that came from socialist Europe in the 1940's and inexplicably believe that somehow liberalism is virtuous. One would think the horrors of Stalin and Hitler would have taken care of that.

I agree...if that did not wake them up? Were they there during WWII? As far as we know, not one of my ancestors in Lithuania, etc., survived...as for the London branch, we lost a few in the Blitz...I will never forget my first trip to London over 20 years ago, when a friend took me to the East End. I actually wept as we walked on the cobbles...the same ones my ancestors had...a very, very emotional experience. The area where they had lived in was gone...destroyed.

Now? There are nearly no Jews in the area, and I would not go back to the East End again..nor will I go back to Londonistan... since I am disabled it is not possible even if I wanted to.

It's nice to see these newspapers endorsing McCain/Palin on McCain's Web site, but sometimes the articles are (unintentionally, of course) hilarious. Like this one from The State:

The editorial board of The State finds itself faced with a happy dilemma -- a choice between two presidential candidates whom we unanimously and enthusiastically endorsed in their primary contests. Now the nation must choose between them, and while we believe either man would make a fine president, we endorse Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

Barack Obama is an inspiring and even transformational figure. He has the intellect and the temperament to lead the nation well in troubled times. On some issues, such as health care, we prefer his proposals to Sen. McCain's. If anyone else had won the Republican nomination, we would be endorsing Sen. Obama today.

...

For more than 40 years, in war and peace, John McCain has exhibited fierce integrity, principled independence and awe-inspiring courage as he has put his country first. Between two extraordinary candidates, he is the better qualified.

It's nice that they're endorsing McCain, but it's like ... their view of Obama has no basis in any reality I'm aware of ...

And Sarah Palin didn't like that the campaign had given up on Michigan, I think. But I sure don't see any giving up overall, especially not with the polls showing the race tightening up.

The noise about Sarah Palin's clothes is ridiculous and a distraction. She looks terrific and she should represent us well. The one who brought that up is Andrea Mitchell. Who is her husband? Alan Greenspan. And what has he been doing on Capital Hill that has been ignored over the clothes flap? Testifying about his role in bringing our economic system to the brink of collapse. And his role was large. I hope we have an October surprise coming up this week (not another down market week). We could use a lift.

re: #55 hermeneutics

This is pure intimidation and a grotesque abuse of political power on the part of Obama.

He is up to his eyeballs in this case. Ohio is not Chicago ‘gangster’ Illinois.

I think his whole staff including himself should be held responsible. Obama can lie as much as he wants to but he is than dirtier hog in mud. I have not respect for the man at all (nor for Joe "mock the guy" Biden).

Records show it was a "test account" assigned to the information technology section of the attorney general's office

http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/st ories/2008/10/24/joe.html?sid=101

That “test account” must have a user name and password (if it doesn’t it’s not secure). Someone knows exactly who did this and the chain of people it went through.

As Iowahawk noted:

We've all witnessed a lot of insanity in American politics over the last few years. Up until the last few days, none of it has seriously bothered me…But after witnessing the media's blitzkreig on Joe 'the Plumber' Wurzelbacher, I can only muster anger, and no small amount of fear.

Joe the Plumber is different. He was a guy tossing a football with his kid in the front yard of his $125,000 house when a politician picked him out as a prop for a 30 second newsbite for the cable news cameras. Joe simply had the temerity to speak truth (or, if you prefer, an uninformed opinion) to power, for which the politico-media axis apparently determined that he must be humiliated, harassed, smashed, destroyed. The viciousness and glee with which they set about the task ought to concern anyone who still cares about citizen participation, and freedom of speech…

Are you a Joe? Say it proud. Leave it on every goddamn newspaper comment section and online forum. Let these pressroom and online thugs know you won't stay silent when they try to destroy the life of a private citizen for speaking his mind -- because for every one of them, there are a million Joe Wurzelbachers. And for that we should all be thankful.

I never saw any of the Apes movies in the theater, until a friend and I went to see a rerun double-feature for kids sometime in the mid 70's. We saw Planet of the Apes and I think Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla. I watched all the Apes movies mostly on after-school movie programs. PoA was my big thing until Star Wars came along. I would scrape up $1.25 to see the matinee of Empire Strikes Back after school. During the week there was usually no one in the theater to see the next showing, and a couple of times the usher let me sit through a second viewing without paying ... life was good, lol

Here is my question for Apes fans:

I've often seen post- "Battle for the Planet of the Apes" histories that show relations with apes and humans deteriorating and the situation going back to the way it was when Taylor landed a couple thousand years later.

BUT I think these histories miss the whole point.

Caesar is supposed to be a wild card, a history-changer, a savior. In the original history, ALDO was the ape who said "No" and led the revolt. In the "rerun" history, Caesar is the one who leads the revolt, and Aldo is a general in Battle, not the Ape leader.

So, history was changed, possibly for the better, by Caesar's presence. That means, Taylor could arrive to find an altered history in which apes and men still live together in peace.

Who knows. Time travel introduces so many paradoxes, it makes my head spin.

BTW, the funniest scene in the original Planet of the Apes is when Cornelius is testifying to the 3 orangutans on the council, and Cornelius claims that Taylor can reason and think. The orangutans consider this blasphemy, and to avoid dealing with it, 1 covers his mouth, 1 covers his ears, and the 3rd covers his eyes (a visual play on the "hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil" image).

re: #633 gmsc

BTW, the funniest scene in the original Planet of the Apes is when Cornelius is testifying to the 3 orangutans on the council, and Cornelius claims that Taylor can reason and think. The orangutans consider this blasphemy, and to avoid dealing with it, 1 covers his mouth, 1 covers his ears, and the 3rd covers his eyes (a visual play on the "hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil" image).

The remake was so pathetic ... the original was just PERFECT for its time, 1968. Of course, when you look back on it, you can see it was a total moonbat movie ... the orangutans were the rigid, close minded "Establishment," the gorillas were the shock troops of the "police state," while the chimps were the tender hearted, open-minded intellectuals (who, along with a few orangs, can be seen protesting the "warmongering" General Ursus in "Beneath the Planet of the Apes" and getting beaten up and arrested for their trouble). Chuck Heston was brilliant in it but it's kinda funny he was in it considering that it was really a very subversive, anti-establishment movie.

re: #377 NY Nana

NY Grampa here for a moment. I tried using the OS discs that came with the computer to do a repair after I backed up NY Nana's data, but it did not work. I am not sure how to reformat the hard drive to re-install the OS. Maybe our computer geek son would come over and help. Only other option right now seems to be paying Dell $123 to extend the in home warrantee to fix the problem.

Grampa: If no one helps you with that soon enough, I'll walk you through it via email or phone. Repair doesn't work very often. You can also find tutorials on the web that will tell you how to do a reinstall.

re: #104 gas238

From the Dispatch’s article it looks like Obama’s thugs not only logged on the Leads system but probably printed out a report and gave it to him and his ghouls. That printer is probably networked to the Leads system. There maybe a log of what was printed and how many pages.

Everything about Obama now is fair game. I hope all of his financial shenanigans, his drug use, his drug dealer(s), and his abuse of power is completely exposed.

[Dispatch.com]

The State Highway Patrol, which administers the Law Enforcement Automated Data System in Ohio, asked Toledo police to explain why it pulled BMV information on Wurzelbacher within 48 hours of the debate, Hunter said.

The LEADS system also can be used to check for warrants and criminal histories, but such checks would not be reflected on the records obtained by The Dispatch.

McCain's lawyers should make sure all of those server logs are not "lost" by the perps investigating themselves. And, I think the RICO act should be used.

Who ever did this should do some time in jail - even Obama himself.

That's an interesting take on this. I wouldn't put it past the MSM considering how pathologically bizarre they have proven themselves thus far.

Would sure be a twist in the future if The One musters enough votes with the help of ACORN and other "organized crime elements." Kidding a bit -- more or less.

Of course they have done this before with other presidents and later claiming that they "led us on" or "lied to us." History repeats itself.

When the one, obama, ran for senator, the sealed divorce papers of his Democrat opponent was made public, it enable the one to defeat him. Then the sealed divorce papers of his Republican opponent was made public, this forced him out of the race. Both actions were against the law, but you cannot oppose the one.

Now Joe the Plumber, his records were hacked.

It’s obvious that Ohio Secretary of State, democrat Jennifer L. Brunner is in the tank with Obama. But, this current abuse of power is outrageous and unacceptable.

McCain has to get to the bottom of this, take names and probably file a complaint. Heads must roll.

5 percent of those polled said race will be the single most important factor in their choice for president, with 11 percent saying it's one of several important factors, and 13 percent indicating race will be a minor factor in their vote.

Note that this is a CNN (i.e. bullshit/biased) poll. However it does beg the question of what percentage of Americans will ACTUALLY vote by race. There is IMO reason to believe that the real percentages will be higher than indicated.

“If you’ve got fruitcup in your house, I’m not taking it,’’ Obama said. But the Illinois senator could still see skeptics in the crowd, particularly on the faces of several men at the back of the room.

So he tried again. “Even if I want to take your fruitcup away, I don’t have the votes in Congress,’’ he said. “This can’t be the reason not to vote for me. Can everyone hear me in the back? I see a couple of dead-threaders back there. I’m not going to take away your fruitcup.’’

We can trust Dear Leader.

My fear is a loss of civil liberties, punitive taxation with rigged elections going forward usuing government resources.

re: #785 littleoldlady

I would like to know (I know we all would, and I suppose we'll find out siin enough) exactly HOW the fraudulent registrations turn into fraudulent votes.

Do they travel from voting district to voting district? State to state?

re: #787 Sharmuta

Well- let's say for example "littleoldlady" registered in two precincts. You would just go to both precincts and vote. Who would know if they didn't cross reference the rolls?

Good morning, Lizards.

(Good morning, littleoldlady & Sharmuta.)

The chances of such fraud being caught are diminished by the simple fact that most ballots this year will never be seen by a human being. They will be electronically tabulated, and what criteria would be used to reject a fraudulent registration or ballot varies from state to state. Some states, such as OH, where I live, not only have no noticeable criteria, but even court challenges have failed to remove spurious registrations and ballots in the past- while at the same time our SecState is busy trying to get military ballots ruled invalid because they have no home address due to there being no place on it for such an entry. (Or that the ballots don't fit OH ballot criteria laid down by... herself. Like the absentee ballots received by registered Republicans from the SecState's office. I could go on, but you get the idea, I'm sure.)

As for multiple votes in different areas, as long as the same name doesn't show up twice at the same address in the same precinct, it will be counted. Which means that Joe Smith of 1111 Dem St. in Columbus and Joe Smith of 1112 Dem St. in Columbus are two different people as far as the Secretary of State is concerned. Ditto if Joe also votes in Chicago- now he's three different people. (All voting for The One, of course.)

The one thing that should be used as an ID, already issued by the government nationally, the Social Security Number (SSN), is not used in any state. I think it should be used in every election in every state, but that's just me.

Here's a link to an article on how vulnerable your state's voting system is to hacking;

DVICE.com-VoteYour text to link...

The article associated with the map of course assumes that it will be evil ReThuglicans who will be trying to rig the election.

The One is, in their opinion, just too pure.

Hey Eon. When I voted (absentee) I had to give my ssn. The funny thing is I wrote it down wrong on the form. The lady gave the form back to me and said the number was incorrect. I realized what I had done, (wrote a number wrong, how I did that I'll never know) so I fixed it.

She came back handed me back the form again, and said it was still wrong. Checked the form again (I had written two numbers wrong, I'd like to be able to say that I was testing them, but how the hell it happened I'll never never know) so I fixed it. Then she let me vote.

So, I am pretty comfortable with my county's voter registration office on early voting. But I know that is one county.

opnion (#829),

Prof Lamont Hill , the grinning guy from Temple University is now on FNC, suggesting that mentioning Socialism with Barry is Red Baiting.

Obama's campaign is scared to death of that issue:

WFTV-Channel 9's Barbara West conducted a satellite interview with Sen. Joe Biden on Thursday. A friend says it's some of the best entertainment he's seen recently. What do you think?

West wondered about Sen. Barack Obama's comment, to Joe the Plumber, about spreading the wealth. She quoted Karl Marx and asked how Obama isn't being a Marxist with the "spreading the wealth" comment.

"Are you joking?" said Biden, who is Obama's running mate. "No," West said.

West later asked Biden about his comments that Obama could be tested early on as president. She wondered if the Delaware senator was saying America's days as the world's leading power were over.

"I don't know who's writing your questions," Biden shot back.

Biden so disliked West's line of questioning that the Obama campaign canceled a WFTV interview with Jill Biden, the candidate's wife.

"This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election," wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign.

Don't question Dear Leader.

Just woke up to read this story. uggggghhhh

I AM a government worker---but for less than ten years. I took this job as my exit strategy to retirement.

Not ALL workers are feeding at the trough for 20+ years, but most are. And you realllllly have to fight the pull toward incompetency that being in a workplace where almost no one can be fired creates. After having worked in the private sector all my life, I'm still not used to it----and I'm glad.

I'm determined to hold onto my job if only to offer balance.....or resistance.....to what may be coming. And I am truly afraid----it is VERY easy to hide widespread corruption because the collusion occurs at every level.

The only beef I have with some commenters at other places is the idea that government employees should not be allowed to vote. Make me a non-taxpayer before taking away my vote, please. No taxation without representation.

Not here. They're not even allowed to ask. I'm glad they do where you are. I think it should be federal, and as a rule I'm leery of federal "mandates" of any kind.

If there was an effort to make it statewide here in OH, I guarantee that Miss Brunner would go judge-shopping in a federal court to stop it. She's not only a fanatic, she's absolutely shameless. I'm sure she believes that after the Triumph and the Anointing, she will be one of the Select, and not only will All Be Forgiven, but she will be Immanetized As A Saint.

If McCain wins, I want to see the look on her face when she gets the news.
