The USPS in Minnesota just discovered
a previously unknown Zipcode and the box on which it was printed contained a quantity of absentee ballots all of which had been cast for Franken.

Homer. More proof of democratic voter fraud!
Tomorrow will be too cold for work so I am going out on Hyde's Lake just west of Waconia to catch a bunch of crappie. Ice is now 18 inches thick and the crappie are lurking on the very bottom around the 14 foot depth. You have to jig them up to your bait as they are really slow during the day.

On paper, everything is fine. That it doesn't actually work is not a liberal's problem. It's the intentions, man, the intentions!

Yes some of it is corruption and diddling with our money and some of it is exactly what we would expect from the federal government. Inept.

in New Orleans were always sending paychecks to dead people. I guess if you don't work for a living it is easy to toss money about.

Chicago way! Who can we thank for this latest fraud and/or incompetency, to be nice, ha! The community Organizer Obama, who learned from the worst of the anti America Chicago cheats; Rev., Wright for starters! Apparently, the President has an attitude that the end justifys any means?! What he doesn't realize is that proud patriots have no tolerance for such unfairness and misrepresentations and we know when we're being had! Now I think, we're mad enough not to take it anymore. If we do, then Americans can blame themselves for the darkness etc., that the radical Obama is bringing. You have to be dumb and blind not to see how the Obamacan'ts just flaunt their will and standards against the majorities wishes. God deliver us from...

This is how it works and has worked for decades. It's why I had no problem seeing what Obama is from the beginning.

BTW- look at any Democrat run inner city. That's Obama's America.

Tell me that American Express can call me at a hotel in Ireland to confirm I am there to verify the charges, and we don't have a computer that can pick out a bad zip code. tell me that every credit card co. in America has a handle on fraud, and these fools think we don't know what is going on. Pleas somebody tell me, they are not that stupid, and pleas somebody tell me that there is someone in government with the balls to do their job. How far off the deep end have the gone? evidently all the way to the bottom.

someone like me next. What I would do, first I would FIRE about 50,000 government workers and tell hundreds of thousands to start looking for new jobs.I would then get the most HONEST and NON political DA in the country and let him go after all the theives, starting with congress and the senate and work our way out into the rest of these crooks.I would start dismanteling government agencies that are simply tools for corrupt politicians, and I would put to end to STYMULUS MONEY, I would first GIVE GM BACK TO THE STOCK HOLDERS, and force its sale to repay the taxpayers, and put the auto workers union in recievership, and recover all the funds absorb in their theft of gm.I would bring a charge of bribery against REID, AND those who...

for demanding a RICO investigation once we get these thugs OUT?

How long with the American people put up with this wage slavery. The only reason they are able to do this thievery is because the American people have been bullied and intimidated by this tax code implemented back in the teens by the Progressives, so they have a money tree on the backs of supposedly FREE CITIZENS.

I don't know what it will take to bring these thugs to justice but they deserve long, long
prison terms starting with Barry Soetoro a.k.a
Barack HUSSEIN Obama, Nazi Pillousey and Dingy Harry.

It certainly is a truism, this Republic an only

Liars, cheaters, fakes, scam artists, thugs, flat out crooks - Acorn, SEIU et al. Crooks and thieves get moved into higher and higher positions within the Obama gang. Their mantra is do as much damage as possible in the shortest period of time. Seek and destroy then build our marxist system on top of the wreckage. We quit watching the news because we get so uptight just seeing all the democrat crap.

zip codes all concur with the notion that bob munck is indeed a "big shot" democrat insider and that the ACORN videotapes are "doctored".

one would mistakenly assume the Democrats would cut it out. But no, keep on brazen-ing and soon nobody will be writing about it because it's old news, and then it will be accepted as fact.

Seems to be a "systemic failure" to me. Is it, in fact, a "screw-up?" Surely not a "lie!"

Regardless of the seriousness and obviousness of the crime, this Dept. of Justice won't prosecute anyone; no Democrat-headed committee will look into it.

William Jefferson simply wasn't as important to them as is Charlie Rangel. Covering up the fact that Stimulus money is, and always was, meant to repay the unions for their support and in the process assure the perpetual election of Dems
is just w-a-a-a-y more important than...

It is the towns that don't exist.

It's all a matter in how you present the situation, don't you see. A Republican looks at this and sees fraudulant funding supposedly going to non-existant zip codes being syphoned off and wasted. A Democrat on the other hand sees a zip code with no town and realizes the only solution is to throw free money at it until a town materializes.
