Ah, the GOP, ...they must cheat and voter-suppress as much as possible in order to claim a 'popular mandate.'

That was only cause the corrupt lady in charge was trying to count them twice while tossing out every other sort in sight. .

Uh..not all. Approximately 2,000 which were incomplete or late. Not a great PR move, but nothing compared to the 96,000 African American voters excluded by Republicans for having names similar to someone who was convicted of a crime.

I can understand you feeling that way. It's kind of like the title Prime Minister of Canada wouldn't get you a free popcorn at the movie theater around here.
The difference being, the Prime Minister of Canada could cut off oil from the oil sands and sell it to China, then drop out of NATO and allow Russian bases on Canadian soil, in which case he would have every one's attention real quick, where as the Secretary of State for Arizona could __________ well you fill in the blanks, Force Democrats in Arizona to write in Obama's name on the ballot?

Well, the AZ Secretary of State seems to have everyone's attention; so I guess that makes them about equal.

I would certainly agree that there are no clean hands, but there are also false equivalents. It was very, very bad judgment to challenge those military ballots, but from all I've read, they were not in fact in compliance with state law. The same could not be said of the far larger number of excluded or prevented African American votes.

So did Osama Bin Laden. Sometimes you get attention because you're somebody, sometimes because you're a loser of grand proportions. he only thing this man could possibly accomplish would be another embarrassment for American politics. He makes Sarah Palin look smart.

Okay, Norm. We've disagreed on things before, and both of us has been guilty of some hyperbole in the past, but this goes too far. It's absolutely outrageous. NOBODY is so dumb as to make Palin look smart in comparison.

First off Bennett is not , never has been a "birther". That being said why is nobody upset with the tax dollar paid brokedicks in Hawai who are simply not doing their job?
Hmmm ..maybe they unable to validate it.

Because they are sick and tired of birther nation requesting birth certificates. They would like to get back to doing the peoples business for which they are paid to do and not continue on this wild goose chase. Seems pretty simple to me.

Also, Bennet may not be a birther, but this certainly won't stop him from participating in the political folly to gain an edge for his man Romney.

In an interview with the Associated Press late Friday, a spokesman for the Hawaii attorney general said Bennett still has yet to show that he legitimately needs a verification of Hawaii’s birth certificate despite numerous emails back and forth.

Hawaii officials have plenty of reasons to push back. Birtherism is a conspiracy theory fueled by a fringe group of writers and activists unwilling to believe Obama is a natural born citizen and therefore eligible for the presidency no matter how much evidence they get.

The effect is that Hawaii has been overloaded for years with requests for verification of the president’s birth certificate, getting as many as 50 new requests a month. Hawaii officials have passed laws and filed sworn affidavits to deal with the matter. The White House has even gone as far as to release a copy of the president’s long-form birth certificate to the public. Yet requests like Bennett’s still keep coming.

In this case he is being a whore for the birthers, and since he is Romney's bitch as well, perhaps the Hawaiians are seeing this for what it is.
