Still waiting for some of those examples of the GAB warning Democrats over sending mailers misleading voters on voting rules.

Patriot GOP are the party of Richard Nixon. Spiro Agnew. The torch has been passed to Karl Rove etc, - to now where dirty tricks is standard Patriot operating procedure.

Wasn't deliberate disinformation a common tactical tool used by the Bolsheviks in the USSR up through Stalin's time? Wasn't the father of the Koch brothers exploiting oil supplies there at that time? Did he learn anything about capitalism from the communists? It seems his children have learned well how to exploit and corrupt a capitalistic society as well. Maybe history doesn't repeat itself but it sure makes one think.

I try not to feed the trolls on either side. It doesn't change the fact that you refuse to say if you think the mailer from the Republican party is wrong.

Obviously....you don't read the links that yada posts, either. You missed HIS rat. Or, you thought that link was relevant.

Maybe Kathy Nickolaus can find the fellow Patriots some examples.

Jeesh. You mean the WI Democratic party hasn't done this same trick? The patriots act like it's done all the time. Surely ye' Patriots have examples. Cut and paste us something.

Really, I think there is something.

Could a patriot refresh our memory of the time the GAB had to reprimand the democratic party for sending fraudelent mailers on voting rules?

I know democrats have done crooked things. But I don't recall anything quite like this. Y'all keep saying they both have dones this - yet I cannot recall. Now is a chance to refresh our memories.

Fedup, aren't you tired of your jokes ?

Wislady, I like how you ignore any direct question towards you but you have the time to post a picture of a rat. You really are the queen of distraction. Unions have nothing to do with this story. The rat in this story are the people that are intentionally trying to suppress and confuse voters. Instead of yelling squirrel as you have been accused of time and time again, you literally posted a picture of a rat.

Donna, I have criticized Obama for plenty of things, he isn't perfect and I have issues with a lot of things he has done. I like how you lumped me in with all of my other cronies. As I have said many many times I am not a Democrat, I vote from the middle.

The Obama campaign....new symbol...an imaginary, flightless bird that's 43 years old and still lives on a government subsidy.

When did the democrats send out fraud mailers like these?

What horse crap. This kind of stuff needs to stop from both sides. Both sides make mistakes, but doing this stuff to purposely confuse people is unethical in my book. The really sad thing is that it is not only both sides, but the GAB also makes mistakes.
BTW, brotherkoch, Mitt Romney has to adhere to the exact same tax rates as You, I, Obama, and every other US taxpayer does, insinuating otherwise is a flat out lie.

Wasp..I do believe there are convicted felons in jail serving terms who shouldn't be allowed to vote. I'm saying before giving the inmates a ballot the deputy could check their computers for current felon status before giving them a ballot. They don't have to ask the inmate anything. Yes there are inmates awaiting trial who are eligible to vote. I'm only concerned with those who are INELIGIBLE to vote. Now, did I type slow enough for you?

donnaw - I know this can be confusing for you, so I am typing really slow. A person could be a convicted felon and have served their time. Then be in jail awaiting trial on another charge not necessarily guilty of anything. You know that troublesome old constitution thing, innocent until proven guilty. Convicted felons are usually in prison because their sentence is more than a year. Do you read what I post? The court doesn't allow them to ask their status.

wasp..do you ever read my whole posts, rather than pick out a few words. These guys are in jail currently so how could they vote if they are currently serving time for a felony or on parole? They have to have finished their sentence and not be on parole. It would take the sheriffs deputy one second to check their status but the sheriff directed the deputies to not check any status. Sounds a little sleazy to me. jMO. Again, goes on in both sides...I don't condon either side doing this. Republicans are not above pulling sleazy things either. We as citizens should not tolerate it on either side.

RE: I would not trust any of the info that WISLADY uses to prove a point here.

Donnow do you ever check the law on the things you post? First of all I will reiterate FELONS CAN VOTE. If they are eligible, or not is not the sheriffs job. It is a legal requirement of the clerk of courts and has been decided by the court.

wislady is just my favorite poster, the democrats do it too. No evidence. Felons are voting. OMG! I have a newsflash for you my dear. Felons can legally vote in Wi. as long as they have served their term and aren't on parole. Why can't you just face facts republicans can't win if everyone votes. So they try to suppress votes in heavy democratic areas like Madison.

concerned....you are so quick to jump on wislady yet you and the rest of your cronies never never criticize your anointed one, Obama. You go first. How about criticizing the Dane County sheriff who directed his deputies to distribute and assist in the completion of absentee ballots to jailed inmates WITHOUT CHECKING TO SEE IF THEY WERE FELONS. Voter fraud happens on both sides. Get over it. And who is going to investigate Dane County sheriff? Are you kidding? He will get a medal!

Wislady, you haven't said that you condemn someone sending a misleading mailer like the one described in the article. I'm not insinuating that you approve, I'm flat out saying it. You refuse to say that you think what was done here is wrong. I think you refuse to admit that anything the Republicans do is wrong. The only think that you said is that the Democrats probably do this too, that isn't the same as saying that it's wrong.

ANd why would someone go the extra step of altering a statement then scanning it or sending it back to their phone? You can use a paper utility bill to register to vote, why not just alter it and then print it and take that in? My point is that there are laws in place to make this illegal and regardless of paper statements or allowing it to be shown on a phone it can already be faked but it's illegal.

This is pretty damn bad thing to do. Why can't our Patriots just stick to conventional lies, and name-calling?

I'm still waiting for federal & state election laws to hold all publications to the same threshold as these same governments hold others to. Misleading advertising is not allowed for merchandisers or retailers why or why do they allow politicians and political parties do it?

Actually, I'm fine with my tax rate - I want Mitten's tax rate to come up to my level.

I want a tax rate like Mitten's.

I still want a free Obama phone.

What's next, showing a birth certificate on your phone?

Let's ask mteg - she's our resident birther.

These mutated patriots are incapable of shame.

totellthetruth - I call BS. Can you post a link to this letter or a story about this letter?

I have not seen the mailer, have you? I said...."Not one person has said it was ok, but it would be enlightening if the media acknowledged that all parties are engaging in this.....not just republicans." You are trying to insinuate that I approved.

I get most of my statements electronically also. Anyone can print a statement from email, alter it, and then resend it so it can be shown on the phone. Just having a statement on your phone doesn't prove anything.

What's next, showing a birth certificate on your phone?

Plutocracy in Action!

You haven't said it's wrong, you have only said that the other party does it. I want to know if you think if the mailers that this article is talking about is alright or if the republicans were wrong for doing this. I have already said that if EITHER side does it it's wrong.

If I bring in a forged document for someone else's address (which speaking from experience with photoshop is extremely easy to do) is theirs? No, both are just as easy to forge and steal. However, the intent for allowing utility bills to be shown on a phone, is due to the fact that many people, myself included, don't receive statements in the mail anymore. Everything is done electronically. To get to my utility bills on my phone, I have to log into my account with my password and then I can bring up the bill. I get an email from WE telling me a bill is available, and then I log into see it. Lets say that they don't allow people to show electronic bills, I could get a bill, and put anyone's name and address on it. HOw is that any different?

Not one person has said it was ok, but it would be enlightening if the media acknowledged that all parties are engaging in this.....not just republicans.

When people come to the polls with a "document" on the phone, will they have to prove it is their phone?

HOw is changing a bill and uploading it to your phone any different that changing it, printing it and bringing it to the polling location and registering? It's just as easy. If you aren't willing to say that what the Republicans did was wrong, do you agree with the mailing? Do you believe that it was ok for them to send out mailers with information that is wrong about where to register to vote?

No one is better at confusing voters than the GAB. How many times have they published instructions on HOW to fill out voting registration, how to get registered if you have no identification, and how to show your legal residence by displaying it on your smart phone (even though it can be easily changed, and then uploaded to your phone).
If only the GAB put half as much effort into making sure the municipalities follow the law. Yet, many people choose to ignore that dirty little secret, but choose instead, to make sure some felons can fill absentee ballots.

Wislady, you seem to avoid the topic at hand. The republican party clearly sent out mailers to heavily democratic areas with false information to cause confusion and suppress votes. If the democrats are doing the same thing it's wrong either way. Let's try something new, we all know you are a republican no matter what. That doesn't mean that you aren't allowed to say that you disagree with something your party does. Same way that Packer fans are allowed to call out a player or coach for something they didn't agree with. I personally would be upset that my party did something this ridiculous that put a negative spot light on my party instead of defending it.

Really, no one is.

No one
should be surprised by this.

wislady asked, "Can you tell this is an AP story?"

Yes, the dateline makes that quite obvious: "By ASSOCIATED PRESS"

Now that we've cleared that up, perhaps you can answer my questions.

"One of the mailings in question"....
the dems have sent out questionable mailings also. Can you tell this is an AP story?

wislady and factforyou, would either of you please explain why, "the Republican Party of Wisconsin incorrectly told residents in the heavily Democratic areas of Madison and Dane County to return voter registration applications to the town of Albion, even if they did not live there."

Has the Republican party offered an explanation as to how this happened? Have they sent out mailings to correct the misinformation? Have they apologized to those that received the incorrect information?

Stay on topic if you can."

wisperson - you are a real piece of work!

factsforyou, you have a very limited view of history. Look up Herbert Hoover, Millard Fillmore, US Grant, James Buchanan and Zach Taylor.

While you're at it, check out effect vs. affect. You lose credibility when you don't have a grasp of basic grammar.

(before someone says off topic)

I should have directed my response to the previous comments made by..
factsforyou

The Obama the world saw at the debate, is the real Obama. This was one of the very few times that he did not have the shield of the media or the press.
He is unable to speak intelligently, unless he has a teleprompter.
He needs to be held accountable for his failure in the debate, and his failure as president.

If you know the local clerk and they have a sign for Either party in there yard they can't be "Trusted"

Why would anyone believe the GAB?

Democrats just intimidate.

Come out come out wherever you are repub talking parrots--please tell us that only democrats commit voter fraud (we can wait until you get your patriotic answer from any of your masters).

Republicans committing voter fraud.
