Politickles

Already Democratic operatives are paving the way for a challenge to the presidential election results. Their talking point is that their polls show that Barack Obama has the votes to win the presidency and if he loses, it has to be on account of voter fraud. – Steve Elwart

This explains the skewing of polls in Obama’s favor with bad samples (e.g., registered versus likely voters). It’s a set-up for the coming challenge.

As Americans, our most precious civil right is our right to vote and to have our vote count. All of our other constitutional rights depend on this.

But today, that right is under siege by forces out to weaken and destroy our ability to hold free and fair elections. If we lose confidence in our electoral process, it will spell the end of America’s 236-year experiment as a self-governing republic. – American Civil Rights Union

GRAVE RESPONSIBILITY
Though his body will surely decay,
A dead Democrat’s ballot may stay:
He moves in with the moles,
But remains on the rolls
And continues to vote anyway.

From the archive:

CITIZENSHIPWRECK
“We don’t care who’s the better debater
Or superior administrator,
We would rather not choose
Who will win, who will lose:
Can we just make somebody dictator?”
(2010)

DEMOCRAFT
“Our agenda aroused such objections
That we lost the dumb voters’ affections,
But there’s nothing to fear
When opponents appear
If you know how to steal the elections.”
((2010)

NIGHT OF THE VOTING DEAD
“We’ll be summoned from slumberous state
To endorse the quadrennial slate;
Then it’s back to the grave,
Where we’ll try to behave
‘Til the conclave of 2008!”
(2004)

REGISTERED VOTERS
The polls open and who comes in?
Mary Poppins and Mickey Finn,
Then Betty Boop
And Alley Oop,
Sherlock Holmes and Gunga Din!
(2004)

POLL FAULT
If they’re often the idlest of souls,
If their names can’t be found on the rolls,
If they won’t likely vote,
Why do we take note
Of opinions they offer in polls?
(1998)

WINNING BY A WHISKER
“Our Party is poised to prevail
With this new registration by mail:
All corpses and cats
Are staunch Democrats,
So our candidates simply can’t fail!”
(1998)

ROCK THE VOTE (TO SLEEP)
If free markets are something you dread,
Our Constitution is over your head,
And American history
To you is a mystery,
On election day, please, stay in bed!
(1998)

FLUKE
“I may act like a female mutt
And have multiple partners, but
That doesn’t mean
You can be obscene
And call me a you-know-what.”

2012
At last, the moment’s here:
The beginning of the year
In which Barack
Is beaten back
And tossed out on his ear!

The most consequential election in our lifetime is still 10 months away, but it’s clear from the Obama administration’s order halting South Carolina’s new photo ID law that the Democrats already have brought a gun to a knife fight.

How else to describe this naked assault on the right of a state to create minimal requirements to curb voter fraud? – Robert Knight

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. claims Jim Crow is returning. In a recent speech, Mr. Holder said that attempts by states to pass voter identification laws will disenfranchise minorities, rolling back the clock to the evil days of segregation. He said that a growing number of minorities fear that “the same disparities, divisions and problems” now afflict America as they did in 1965 prior to the Voting Rights Act. According to the Obama administration, our democracy is being threatened by racist Republicans. Hence, the Justice Department must prevent laws requiring a photo ID to vote from being enacted. – Jeffrey Kuhner

You ain’t seen nothing yet!

Disenfranchise the Dumbbells!

Are Mickey Mouse and Mary Poppins registered to vote in Nevada? In a Las Vegas courtroom last week, prosecutors found the fictional characters not guilty but convicted those impersonating them of voter fraud. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the radical left-wing activist group, was convicted in a massive voter-fraud conspiracy. It has been committing identify theft for decades. – Matthew Vadum

HOUSE OF HORRORS
By the demons we all have been taunted
As unnatural powers were flaunted,
But the townsfolk will rout
And then drive the fiends out
Of the House on the Hill that is haunted.

On Tuesday there’s a good chance “Mickey Mouse” will help bolster the vote count of Pennsylvania Senate candidate Joe Sestak and other Democratic hopefuls across the country. – Matthew Vadum

ACORNOMICS
A gangster hired an advisor
To make the “wise guy” wiser:
“If you want to take over,
I advise a makeover
As ‘community organizer.’”

MIGHTY HOAX
Assigning bailout blame
Can be a cryptic game,
One must be deft,
Read on the left:
