“Voter fraud in Florida, how could this happen? Sounds like the laws were aimed in the wrong direction, at honest people. Does anybody really think that hundreds of millions in campaign funds would draw the finest people?”

“If the Republicans are the ones waging war on women, why do the Democrats love Bill Clinton so much? He was a one-man wrecking crew in a lot of women’s lives, then lied under oath to cover it up. Democrats love their revisionist history.”

“How many people does Gov. Romney employ? He’s a bazillionaire, so according to the GOP party line (tax cuts for rich people equals more jobs for the rest of us), he should be starting a bunch of small businesses and putting lots and lots of people back to work.”

“I have read every Vent since day one, and thank you for posting right around 80 percent of what I’ve sent in over many years. But, today I saw the most idiotic Vent ever. When I read “who else would show up at a demonstration with rocket-propelled grenades or assault rifles besides terrorists or our own tea party,” I felt sorry for whoever sent that Vent in. You see, mental (illness) is a terrible disease, especially when a person has no idea they are that sick. But, I’m sure Obama is counting on people like that. I don’t think most of Obama’s BASE made it past 10th grade!”

“Romney’s silence on his faith: If Romney put his faith on the table, he’d have to address some uncomfortable aspects of Mormon history, including its founders’ polygamy and racism, and chief prophet Joseph Smith’s odd revelations, including his revision of the Bible and his assertion that Jesus once visited America. In the Book of Mormon, God will take care of everyone. I wish He would start now before we destroy our only planet.”

“I am a registered Republican of 47 years who will be voting for Obama and Carmona.”

    4th venter ... would you mind explaining exactly how that poster was wrong?
    No ad-hominem attacks --- a lucid rational explanation of how the poster is in error would educational for all.
    It is a FACT that tea party people HAVE shown up with assault rifles and rpg's.
    Looks to me like the poster drilled in and hit a nerve with you.
    Have you perhaps taken YOUR assault rifle to a demonstration?

    6th venter ... it wouldn't be logical for anyone other than multi-millionaires to vote for Romney.
    He has spoken out and revealed his scorn for the rif-raff 49%.
    He said middle class starts at $250,000 / year income.
    Anyone below that he would consider not worthy of his interest or concern.
    The Republican Party has slipped up and revealed Romney's tax plan.
    They just rammed through tax cuts for the wealthy in Kansas ( State Tax only for now ) of up to $20,000 / year and AT THE SAME TIME THEY INCREASED TAXES ON EVERYONE ELSE.
    fact
    That is the tax plan Romney has for the country but he won't tell you until you elect him.
    There is absolutely no doubt that Romney is ONLY concerned with the super wealthy and corporations.

    Vent #5 - You are WRONG - W-R-O-N-G.

    The LDS Church was NEVER racist. The early members OPPOSED slavery. And they OPPOSED segregation.

    And Christ DID visit America. That is a fact. Thousands of people witnessed it, and it was prophesied hundreds of years before. And you know what? People wrote it down. They wrote what they witnessed. They wrote what was prophesied.

    As for polygamy, even Joseph Smith was reluctant to take part in it. But he was commanded by God to do it. If God tells you to do something, you do it, no matter what.

    And Silly Willie, Vent #4 was right. You are a liar. The Tea Party has been peaceful. They may or may not have shown up with assault rifles, but they never used them.

    Now let's take a look-see at the Occu-pee-ers.

    1. They urinated on police cars (and probably did the "other" thing to them as well).

    2. They commited rape (a heinous crime).

    3. They yelll and scream incoherently.

    4. They use foul language and threaten police (none of which I can put here, for obvious reasons) You might say this is "freedom of speech", but speech should not include threats.


    Who do you think is a more peace-loving group? It's a no-brainer.

    By the way, I'm not even close to a multi-millionaire. I'm not even a 10,000- aire. I'm voting for Mitt Romney. I'd sooner vote for Elmer Fudd than Obama, who makes Mugsy (the tall stupid robber you see in Bugs Bunny cartoons) look almost intelligent.

    And it's the wealthy people that create the most jobs. They are the entrepreneurs of this country. If you raise taxes on the wealthy, you will hurt the middle class as well.

    mrconservative ... Maricopa County Community College had remedial reading courses for adults.
    I would recommend one to you.

    You said " And Silly Willie, Vent #4 was right. You are a liar. The Tea Party has been peaceful. They may or may not have shown up with assault rifles, but they never used them. "

    Apparently you need a lot of help with reading comprehension.
    No one ever said they weren't peaceful.
    No one said they had used their assault rifles or rpgs.

    You like to put words in people's mouths ... but that only works when the people can't talk back.
    I can.

    Venter #4 is absolutely wrong to infer that the person who posted the article he objects to is mentally ill.
    Especially when the statements the person made about people bringing weapons to an assembly was spot on, and in fact, tea partiers have brought weapons to rallies.

    Well well, look who's back to spew more lies - hiya mrconservative!

    Still claiming "tea partyers" never bring weapons to demonstrations?
    Still claiming to have scientific proof of spirits?

    It would be HILARIOUS if you were joking, but it's SAD AND PATHETIC since you are actually serious.

    "Christ DID visit America. That is a fact."
    What a loon. Provide evidence for this claim, or add it to your long list of lies.

    What a spineless little weasel.

    Keep that in mind the next time you feel like threatening those who don't share your superstitious beliefs.

    VENT # 3: “How many people does Gov. Romney employ? He’s a bazillionaire….”

    Is that a bazaar? . . or a person whose wealth is estimated at millions? Or both?

    Like some of the richest Democrat members of Congress; U.S. Sen. John Kerry, a Democrat from Massachusetts, reported a net worth of between $182.8 million and $294.9 million, and millionaire members U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a Democrat from West Virginia, and California Democrats Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Nancy Pelosi.

    Wilie - You need to work on understanding context. The letter writer was referring to Libya, where they did use their automatic weapons and RPGs.

    MRConservative -
    NEVER racist? Can you describe the Mark of Cain (as your faith sees it) to me?

    The visit is fact? No. I'm not aware of any archaelogical proof of this. You have FAITH it happened, but that should never be confused with facts.

    Polygamy - Again, you're ascribing faith as facts. You're assuming Smith would include things he didn't like in the religion he created because God told him to.

    Claiming the Mormon Church isn't racist is like claiming the KKK is in favor of racial equality -- a silly lie that doesn't fool anyone not living under a rock.

    Racist verses from the Book of Mormon:

    1 Nephi 11:8
    1 Nephi 11:13
    1 Nephi 12:23
    1 Nephi 13:15
    2 Nephi 5:21
    2 Nephi 30:6 (1830 edition)
    Jacob 3:8
    Alma 3:6
    3 Nephi 2:15
    Mormon 5:15

    "Why is it in the Church we do not grant the priesthood to the negroes? It is alleged that the Prophet Joseph said - and I have no reason to dispute it - that it is because of some act committed by them before they came into this life. It is alleged that they were neutral, standing neither for Christ nor the devil. But, I am convinced it is because of some things they did before they came into this life that they have been denied the privilege. The races of today are very largely reaping the consequence of a previous life." - Melvin Joseph Ballard (Quorum of the Twelve Apostles), Three Degrees of Glory, p. 22

    Voter ID laws, That possibility is nothing but a Republican fantasy. George W. Bush's Justice Department convicted a grand total of 86 people for having casted invalid ballots. that's in the entire nation. Voter ID laws have one real purpose-'"to disenfranchise as many likley Democratic voters as possible". The Washington Post
    I am sure that George W. Bush checked only Democratic, But if Bush's Justice Department had checked Republican voters they would have found let say the results would have been different

    DonMey ... you said " Wilie - You need to work on understanding context. The letter writer was referring to Libya, where they did use their automatic weapons and RPGs. "
    Well my eyesight may not be quite perfect but I failed to see the word Libya anywhere in that 4th venter's post. No mention of Middle East or any other place either.
    And, if he was talking about Libya --- how the heck did the Tea Party get involved?
    The poster only mentioned " terrorists and our own tea party " (in the posters own words ).
    How someone is supposed to deduce Libya out of that I dunno.
    Perhaps you know because you were the person who sent that Vent in. :)

    Willie - That vent was a response to a previous vent, which did talk about Libya; something which could still be deduced by the mention of terrorists showing up to a demonstration with RPGs.

    Vent #1: I think you are being facetious but you have to remember that according to the liberal/progressives there is no such thing as voter fraud and there is no need for voter ID laws.

    Vent #2: There is no war on women. You are right that Bill Clinton is a confessed liar and an accused rapists.

    Vent #3: Mitt Romney has created thousands of jobs and started many businesses. It's never good for the government to punish success.

    Vent #4: I'm not worried about what a venter may say just as long as I can reply to their comments.

    Vent #5: Romney's faith is not the point of this election, it's about leadership and economic policies. Romney has the leadership and economic experience we need.

    Vent # 6: This is a repeat vent and I will repeat my response. Good riddance RINO, now go get your Obama big government handout.

    It must be pretty darn nice to be a Republican politician in Arizona.
    Two days ago there were headlines about the State Attorney General Horne being investigated for campaign finance irregularities and while the FBI was investigating that they caught him leaving the scene of a hit and run accident he had while he was taking his office tootsie to her house for a nooner.
    NEXT DAY
    Not one word in any of the media about either one of those scandals.
    Apparently the Republican Party must have put pressure on all the media to shut their mouth.
    Will these scandals ever see the light of day again?
    Are Republican officials exempt from the laws that apply to everyone else? hahahah of course they are.
    Of ONE thing there is NO DOUBT.

    If it was a Democratic Attorney General who was involved in those scandals -- it would be front page for MONTHS.
    The media would NEVER take the story down.

    *Yawn*

    You liberals, particularly Willie, are really beginning to bore me. Willie, I don't think I ever claimed that the Tea Partiers never brought weapons. If I did, then I was wrong. I'm not afraid to admit when I am wrong. The Tea-partiers, howver, have been peaceful. I have heard no reports from the LIBERAL media of any violence. I think they would have said something if that had occurred.

    But I have NEVER lied once in my comments. NOT EVEN ONCE.

    My knowledge of the Book of Mormon is not something I am merely certain about, nor is it merely a belief. I KNOW it to be true. I suggest you read a book by Rod L. Meldrum, called "The Book of Mormon in America's Heartland: A Visual Journey of Discovery". It has many pictures, as well as SCIENTIFIC evidence of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon.

    This same man, Rod Meldrum, has a DVD presentation of DNA evidence of the Book of Mormon. It's very fascinating. You might learn something from it, Willie.

    There are no racist statements in the Book of Mormon, either. I checked those references that one dude mentions. Most of them are not even referring to the skin color. One talked about white fruit. How is that racist?

    See y'all in 30 days. By then, Mitt Romney will have won the election. [smile]

    " I don't think I ever claimed that the Tea Partiers never brought weapons."

    "That's a lie! The tea partyers NEVER bring weapons to a demonstration. NEVER"

    Wow...from "NEVER!" to "I don't think I ever said that"

    Why can't these immoral cockroaches just come clean and admit when they get caught in a lie?

    "But I have NEVER lied once in my comments. NOT EVEN ONCE."

    Not even once - DOZENS OF TIMES. I even made a list of your filthy lies, but you had it deleted.

    Let's start with the one you just posted - "I KNOW it to be true." - then present your Knowledge (not some holy book, not some belief, actual FACTS). If you don't have factual knowledge, then you do not KNOW. And to keep claiming you do is a LIE.

    Let's finish off with your most idiotic lie to date:
    "There is scientific proof of spirits"

    Ahahahahahahaha!!!! No, really! LOL

    "There are no racist statements in the Book of Mormon"

    "the skins of the Lamanites were dark, according to the mark that was set upon their fathers, which was a curse upon them because of their transgression." - Alma 3:6

    I already listed these...poor mrconservative wants to twist word meanings to make them sound less racist.

    Not just the Book of Mormon, the elders of the religion itself, IN THEIR OWN WORDS:

    "Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be " - Birgham Young

    "Cain slew his brother. Cain might have been killed, and that would put a termination to that line of human beings. This was not to be, and the Lord put a mark upon him, which was the flat nose and black skin. " - Brigham Young

    "Had I anything to do with the negro, I would confine them by strict law to their own species, and put them on a national equalization" - Joseph Fielding Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 270; History of the Church, 5: 218

    "Thursday, 8--Held Mayor's court and tried two negroes for attempting to marry two white women: fined one $25, and the other $5" - Joseph Fielding Smith, Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 6: 210

    “But let them apostatize, and they will become gray-haired, wrinkled, and black, just like the Devil" - Brigham Young, Journal of Discourses, vol. 5, p. 332

    Truth, you need to get your facts straight. One fraud vote is one too many. Voter ID is to prevent that.

    By the way, one Obama staff member was recently caught trying to help someone vote twice.

    Just so you're aware, voter fraud is a much bigger problem than liberals would have you believe. I've head of many cases - more than 86 - of voter fraud. I can't post them all, obviously. I'm aware of one person trying to register their dog to vote, and one person tried to register under the name "Mary Poppins". The list goes on.

    That's all I have to say for now. I will say more, after the election, but I will likely put in at least one more post before November 6.
