Chafee will Support Bolton

The Republicans are falling into line on the nomination of John Bolton to the US Ambassador to the United Nations. There has been a concerted effort by the Democrats to paint him as a mean person. While that may not get you invited to a cocktail party or two, and may be against the perceived Democratic way {ed. -??????????}., at the end of the day it will not keep Bolton out of the UN position.

They tried to pry the more moderate Republicans off and it failed. Senator Kerry ran an online ad campaign again Chafee, it failed. The Democrats ran a smear campaign against Bolton, it failed. God Bless these guys. It is not over yet, but there standing up for the majority to pick their own government is a huge achievement.

One of the moderate Republicans who has been wavering on the nomination of John R. Bolton to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said Tuesday he will reluctantly support the embattled nominee.

Rhode Island Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee’s decision gives momentum to Bolton ahead of a Senate Foreign Relations Committee vote Thursday. Chafee said he decided to support Bolton because he is President Bush’s choice.

“I won’t deny a lot of the information certainly brings great pause, but I fight the administration on so many issues; this is one of those that I’ve been with them on — to appoint their team,” Chafee said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Weeks of inquiry into Bolton’s conduct in office also left three other GOP members of the committee leaning toward supporting Bolton or at least unwilling to write him off.

On Tuesday, the first workday for the Senate after a weeklong break, other Republicans predicted unified GOP support for Bolton when the committee votes.

“I think our team will be together,” Sen. George Allen, R-Va., said Tuesday.

The UN is a corrupt and slovenly institution. As the most powerful member and as the country that foots most of the bill, we need a strong character to come in and demand change. Kofi and Company have run the UN like a 3rd World Dictatorship and the time for that has come to an end.

So a little grumpy, a little course, and the perception that Bolton is there to Woop Ass is what it takes to make the United Nations be a better place, so much the better. However, the globalists in the democratic party that would love to see the USA lose power to the UN are going to have to wait a little longer to see it happen.

Democrats find 4.500 votes more than Registered Voters

What is the bigger crime. The City of Milwaukee having 4,500 more votes cast than REGISTERED VOTERS, or the fact that U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic failed to work hard enough to get to the bottom of the issue? I think that both instances are reprehensible.

281,500 votes were cast in a district with 277,000 voters who were registered. So even if we are moronic enough to believe that 100% turnout was conceivable, then more people voted than were registered. Captain Ed posts a great point on the matter.

Having 4,500 more ballots than registered voters doesn’t mean that 4500 extra votes were cast. It means many more thousands of extra votes were cast, unless Milwaukee normally gets 100% turnout for every election. Milwaukee had over 277,000 ballots cast in the election, and even if that accounted for 90% of the registered voters in the city, it would still mean 30,000 extra ballots before you even get to an overage.

This is horrifying unto itself, but the reaction of the US Attorney Steven Biskupic is even worse. We find a case of corruption that is impossible to explain away. We have an investigation and the US Attorney Steven Biskupic fails to find any evidence beyond isolated instances. That is the real crime going on here.

Voter fraud has to be stopped. We are looking at 2 elections that have been close enough that “every vote must count” is turning into the truth. Here we had a case that showed fraud, and our government essentially says we will look away. What will happen in 2008? Will we say it is open season? We every voter not be held to one vote, but however many they can attempt? If you do not prosecute these instances, why not?

We need to address the issue of voter fraud today, not before there is a constitutional crisis. Look at the State of Washington if you need an example.

This really raise my ire.As a Republic, we are only as strong as our laws. When US Attorney Steven Biskupic fails to properly apply them, people will not respect the laws. These same Democrats slashed the tires of the Republican poll workers. Are we surprised? And when it happens again 5 fold, are we going to look away?

 I hope not.
