God is not dead. In fact, the very notion of a world without God is itself overwhelmingly accepted by the Leftinista Cabal generally without even approaching an adequate reading of not only atheist or irreligious philosophes, but especially of one of the first to proclaim the "Death of God" - Mr. Martin Luther himself. However, the most prescient and salient point outside of the Hit n' Run media's growing narcissistic projections (both in terms of the framing of the Presidential race and the often glaringly odd narrative which has been forming), is the rejection of God at the recent Democrat National Convention, which I attended in the past month (albeit from well outside the Convention Center itself). I know not the details, the ramifications, nor the context of the now generally ignored move by the D.E.M. constituency to disavow faith in the Lord - what I do know is it remains a testament to the Left's neurosis and malfeasance, let alone treasonous ideological intent, that they should respond to the issue of God with the Coulterian "Demonic Hoarde"-like hisses and boo's that issued from their grim gullets in Charlotte during the convention. There is no doubt to me, at this point in history, that the American left is deeply engaged in not only Communist/Socialist subversion of democracy within Media and Academe, but is involved in sub-evil.
I would not issue this decree with such assurance were it not for the fact that our Muslim lover POTUS is distinctly, in the light of the Lord and in full view of the World, naked - and his 'disciples', void of the socially cohesive tradition of Morality as properly understood by thousands of years of Western Tradition, basically Godless and amoral. Kenneth Minogue writes at great length of this type of Moral degeneracy and has made a more than adequate case against the type of 'Progress' we're all bearing witness to in our once great Nation at this point in our timeless voyage towards disaster. I'm sure adequate reading of salient authors who write in the tradition of the great Ancestral Forefathers will be not only overlooked but in fact rendered mute by a declining and all around insipidly vacuous dialectic maintained by, honest to god, Communist intellectual elites who generally worship the Devil. This bold and seemingly preposterous claim has evidence to back it up, which can be viewed in my popular video on Saul Alinsky - who both Barack Hussein and Hillary Clinton are not only familiar with but generally acknowledged to be disciples of. Alinsky dedicated his book, "Rules for Radicals", to none other than Lucifer, to whom he gave the honor and title of "The very first radical".
Perhaps he was right on that last point - perhaps Lucifer is characteristically radical. If this is so, by the Left's own admission, their party has basically become THE ideological progenitor of Evil.

"I actually traveled to the convention just to garner protest footage for Politalk. The above video, which reveals the underbelly of the occupy encampment as well as shines a light on the police presence at the convention, is exclusive to Politalk - so, thank you for turning to Politalk for this coverage and I hope you'll enjoy this video."

The Cold War ain't Over
Many have discounted the country of Russia as not exclusively a threat on the basis of cold war sentiment of U.S./Russia relations being based in the Capitalism/Communism dichotomy, which is no longer a problem for Russia itself, nor relevant to our Foreign Policy.
This is simply an untruth. Just muster the various tidbits you've gleaned about Mother Russia for a moment if you will...
Russia is supplying weapons to our enemies in the middle east, how is the Cold War even over? Russian bullets have penetrated our soldiers flackjackets, and we're sitting back as if Russia isn't the most dangerous country on the world stage, one which doesn't need to be fought tooth and nail?
C'mon.
Russia has been and continues to be America's evil best friend, and if we don't sort out negotiations with their country to be aggressive rather than appeasing, we're setting the stage for failure. I mean, they've got frigging NUKES! WTF!
All jesting aside, I've seen first hand the subversion of American society by proto-communist russian immigrants, and to be perfectly frank - they are simply an ethnicity with which I do not comport. My highschool sweety was stolen from me by a Russian immigrant, probably a spy for the KGB or some such organization, and then after being worked over for years by subtle snakish maneuvering was basically FORCED to live in some backwater Russian shithole against her true will. This is a certainty - these russians are goddamned snakes that prey on American virtue at every chance they get.
And there's more of them coming.
Studies indicate that Russian's are emigrating to the U.S. at higher and higher numbers.
Why?
Because they're goddamned snakes who worship Stalin and want to subvert America! That's Why!!!
We need to support an initiative by DDU Founder - Brendan O'Connell - to increase security checks on those who come here from Russia. It's a serious initiative who's intent is based in real world experience with the Russian conspiracy. We need to vet the Russian's.
Thanks,
R.T. Stillwell

REBROADCAST FOR DDU TEA PARTY - "On Brother 'Bama and Saul Alinsky" *video*
RNC CONVENTION NIGHT 2 COVERAGE - TEA PARTY SPECIAL!
It's interesting that as the Grand Ole Party's National Convention
falls to the mid-tumult spin, the mainstream media is still, as E.I.B.
vet Rush said casually today, not airing the segments of the Repub
convention speakers who are other than the Caucasian race. It's funny,
as Artur Davis's speech from last night was apparently blotted out of
the Mainstream Media's periphery, the horizon upon which the narrative
of the convention is contrived of is failed in convention.
We built it.
And we did build it.
Federally imposed restrictions are irrefutably of a notably absent minded interpretation of the teachings of the bible - a metaphorical one at that. We cannot help people. People can only help themselves. In fact, the extent to which the Obama whitehouse is mistaken in their endeavor to create a welfare state by taking solace in mistaken benevolence is sorely understated by the Vulture-like media establishment surely being fed line's by media hacks and elitist tools for the Fed'ral Gov'ment.
The fault of the President of the Hussein's was to run on an anti-war ticket whilst engaging in harshly blood-letting practices of national security. We could have a Bin Laden, on public trial. Instead, we get manifest vendetta's by freinds and family's of those indiscriminately killed by haphazard drone warfare in the Middle East.
Peace is the priority, democracy is the message, and holiness and divinity are the means.
The concern here is in the tremendous debt we owe to nation and state, and our failure of leadership in electing a socialist radical into the office of the presidency. Obama has read Marx and agreed with it - now get the Gov'ment OFF MY BACK!
We need to let everyone know, who has been attacked by this D.E.M., that help is on the way. And that help is domestic democracy united.
DDU is pledged to constituting an indeterminate respect for constitutionality, and the freedom of position that comes with in it. However, we are committed to fighting the scourge of NEO-MARXISM, CLASSICO-MARXISM, SUB-MARXISM, and PROTO-MARXISM.
a. Neo-Marxism - Adherence to marxist values within a contemporary political environment.
b. Classico-Marxism - Adherence to the works of Marx as an ethics.
c. Sub-Marxism - sub/unconscious adherence to redistribution of wealth, class warfare, and other inherently marxist ideologies.
d. Proto-Marxism - being prototypical of Marxism without agreeing with it in specifics whilst being ideologically in line with it.
We oppose all[ of these forms of collectivist tyranny and spit on the grave of those who seek to perpetuate the Marxist ideology of multi-cult and collectivism.
Ayn Rand need not lie still.
However, the value's of Christianity for the guiding principe of a United Democracy are the cornerstone of restoring america's destiny. As a guiding angel once spoke, "Fate can only take you so far."
The excuses of this administration and blatantly broad-stroked painting of conservatives as ignoble "wealthy" shows full well the notional class war-fare of this administration and it's basis in Socialism, Communism, and Secularism. He said, Mr. Hussein Obama, that if he didn't turn around the economy in 4 years it would be a 1 term proposition. I say we let him politely excuse himself from gentlemanly political discourse this November, because we can do better.

Protester's Outnumbered by Riot Gear Clad Police At RNC 2012, Tampa
The sight outside the Republican National Convention this year is almost humorously grotesque. A relatively miniscule number of protesters, many affiliated with the Occupy movement, are finding themselves virtually outnumbered by a large number of Security forces. I want to to be honest, it's so much better than I expected. The Security forces are immensely technically co-ordinated, using a multitude of anti-riot devices and techniques - making their own orchestrations the main subject of interest regarding the protest movement outside the now infamous Republican National Convention. Inside the convention last night, numerous speakers addressed the delegates in a properly exceptionalist fashion - while outside, more than likely, a high tech counter-insurgency op was taking place. It's pure magic, in the style of nearby Disneyworld, and I'd wager many Occupy protesters will find themselves consumed by the electricity surging around the growingly popular and all around entertaining RNC. It's as if the state controlled media has had %100 percent of the mainstream narrative so far, and for those willing to indulge in the ole style big tent political scene now get a brief look at what presentation of platform looks like in a substantive context - that is, outside of Wolf Blitzer's gaping maw. I think we should sound the air raid siren's every time a politician mention's the constitution, take a shot every time Barack is denounced, and fire a nuke every time the spirit of excpetionalism is provoked
The previously reported 'disallowing of delegates' by the presumptive nominee rule change I reported on did seem to be a non-issue, and one story seems to be (and I'm merely guessing here) that many states supportive of Santorum issued a token delegate to the senator, I'm assuming, in slight protest of not having their voices heard. Every awarding of delegates, with the exception of a few states (Minnesota for example) who pledged the majority of their delegates for Ron Paul, went decisively in Mitt Romney's favor - and this odd configuration of delegation left young Rick Santorum basically out of the Republican picture during this counting of vote's for the Republican nominee yesterday. I'd have to assume that those who put a token Santorum delegate vote forth (relatively few), did so in the spirit of protest.
But the protestor's outside the RNC must surely, as of the afternoon of the second day of the RNC proper, be overwhelmed by the police presence. No molotov cocktails or pipebombs... yet.
There is a lot less of the speculated tension surrounding the affairs in Tampa than was predicted - whether to do with the hurricane or the protesters. The whole organization of the RNC is near a walking-on-water miracle. Not to mention the massively traditional official entrance of the gorgeous Ann Romney into the political dialogue, which went off without a hitch nor hiccup. The only gaffe I can recall after basically spending the entire day viewing this tremendous spectacle was Bob McConnell's "voice crack" as he went on to introduce his platform. Sounded like a giddy schoolyard tween talking to someone about to extract their lunch money.
The whole affair begins again today, and I urge anyone to view it on c-span.org for free.
Thanks,

Drive-by Media Ignores Major Story on Repub Convention
Here is some data which I gathered on what, according to el rushbo, is a major story:
"There is an all out effort by the media to scare and intimidate republican's into voting for Obama... They know their biggest enemy is conservatives, and they know that and they are doing everything they can to disenfranchise us."
-Rush Limbaugh (Just Now)
"The big story is thus... a proposed
rule change that would allow a presumptive nominee to "disavow"
delegates."
Arkansas
Colorado
Iowa
Louisiana
Maine
Minnesota
Nevada
North Dakota
Ohio
Virginia
South Carolina
Texas
Those states are the only one's who haven't signed on to a minority report the rule change.
According to eagleforum.com "it is about
protecting each state's right to choose how it selects and governs its
own delegates. We need you to take action today!"
They then go on to urge people in state's that have signed on to Republican Delegates being determined by the presumptive nominee, I.E. Mitt Romney, rather than by the state's themselves to stand up for delegate's rights.
This certainly could be an issue in regards to state's rights, however, as unaware of the implications of the seemingly federally imposed new delegate rule, I should comment that this apparent major story for the convention seems like not a terrible tragedy, but rather a fairly mundane change of order.
However, should this new rule that enables a presumptive candidate to 'disavow' or 'disallow' delegates that would, I'm supposing, have voted for a different candidate in the Primaries have any implications beyond what I'm currently informed of, I'll certainly be proven wrong.
Anyone in NC feel like urging our delegates not to sign on to this new rule which "Strips delegates of their sovereignty", here is the contact info for Mr. Robert and Mrs. Helen.

Apparently, it's a bit of a power move by Mitt Romney and, of course, Mitt Romney was notoriously unpopular in the south, so should be an issue for many paleoconservatives on the other side of the Mason Dixon line.

Of Faith and the Electorate
"Some ask if God's power is real why don't we see miracles happening today? Friends, it is not due to the deficiency of the power of an Almighty God, but it's lack of our faith."
-Unknown Kentucky Preacher
Many have asked, what is the vision of America? Is it a transparent democracy, is it a remnant of a once grand Aristocracy, is it's so-called vision one of crass commercialism and corporate greed?
Faith, in our age, is sorely lacking in vision. When one fails to see past the banners and apparent emblazoned ideographs, when one resists putting faith in the unseen - one can truly miss the beauty and majesty of the Constitution. People very often describe America in terms of it's polemically derived failures of authenticity - but this is a crisis of faith, not a legitimate criticism of value. One criticism I've heard in regards to the Constitution of the U.S. was one placed quite speculatively by a student friend of mine - and that is the Framer's themselves were not in fact men of virtue and honor but rather of a nefariously dishonorable type, the dreaded "wealthy". I can only respond in kind - that for a scientific worldview that so often internally is derived from behaviorism and a Hobbesian sense of the Universality of avarice, this position of polemical dislike of all things derived from classical Western Tradition is uniquely sentimental.
We need Faith, if we are to make due in a world of declining and diminished returns - as a country, as a community, an individual, and as a world.
Faith in the temporal unseen and not in a merely apparent present-at-handedness should be the cornerstone of divining America's destiny as, once again, a beacon of light for all peoples who value freedom over despotism. A platform of uncompromising and unceasing peace and prosperity should be in place for our country - however, it is not. What in fact is the case in the U.S. today is a bitterly divisive political climate and a notional/collective downward push. To lift up our nation, we all need more faith.
Very often, our faith is tested... though not in the sense of our being spited by God, but rather every moral act is, in fact, both test and judgement - both punishment and freedom.
When one's faith is tested in the sense of one's making a choice to do the moral thing rather than the immoral thing, one can be seen to be making the choice for passionate involvement with the hand of Destiny, rather than simply discerning between alternatives. Faith leads to morality, morality leads to benevolence, benevolence leads to mastery.
And perhaps that is just where the U.S.A.'s faith is being tested. Perhaps we are not a nation of Masters, but rather a nation of Slaves... If this is so, perhaps the necessary job of turning lower immediacy into higher immediacy (in a Hegelian sense) has been ignored - and we are merely serfs stuck in mediation.
Clearly delineated are the obscure esotericisms of the unseen, and little understood are their method.
So, it is not the deficiency of the power of Conservatism, but the lack of our understanding. Conservatism's vision of a capito-exceptionalist nation is a window into the soul of understanding (verstehen). The disputed transparency of the media is merely a notional residue of the trace of being-present in everyday worldhood. This is the central archetype of the blatant malfeasance of the tragedy of the Recession.

Update
Hi,
Many of you may have been wondering why I chose to discontinue Politalk and why, as of today, I've chosen to re-instate this blog for the foreseeable future.
The reason is thus - I have been ruthlessly attacked by the liberal establishment, along with many other conservatives, and hoped that by simply stopping Politalk I could avoid some of the negative implications of the D.E.M.'s attacks on me and my friends.
I've realized that as long as I value freedom and democracy over socialism and subservience, I will continue to be attacked - there is no stopping the D.E.M. (Democrat Establishment Machine) from attempting, at almost every juncture, from trying to destroy my life.
I understand how paranoid this may sound - however, I know that I am not alone.
Conservatives are being lambasted within the marxist controlled media at such a high frequency that there really is no point in trying to placate the Regime by standing down or answering their rigorous polemic attacks directly.
The only thing to do is to win.
When I started this blog roughly 4 years ago, everyone who knew me understood what I was like - what I believed in - what I stood for.
Now, within the current venomous political climate within America, many people react to my conservatism with outright hate, and it is not my job to answer their treasonous ideology. It is my job to be a citizen of what I understand the U.S. to be - and that means continuing to stand up, be heard, and shout a decisive "NO" to the philandering elitist left and their vision of progress.
Continue turning to politalk for political coverage, commentary, and other miniscule writings.
Before too long, I'll be located in our state's capitol - and I hope you'll stick around for more decisive on the ground coverage.
Thanks
Brendan

Conformity vs. Non-Conformity: A Brief Exposition
I began politalk with the bold statement that liberals are quote "far more conformist than conservatives", so I'd like to continue on this train of thought for a moment. Conformity, as a cliche, is generally frowned upon. But what I'd like to say is that often conformity is neither inherently negative nor positive, neither pragmatic nor abstract, neither an opposition nor a opposition to the opposite (i.e. counter-culture). What I would like to note, however, is that conformity can be the failed fail-safe of Individualistic Democratic Ideology (I.D.I.) - which is sort of a heavy handed way of saying that conformity can lead to fascism on a collectivistic level - especially when the conformity is imposed upon people rather than chosen. I'm currently finishing up George Bush's "Decision Points", and one of the ideological/philosophical presuppositions/decisions he makes central to his thesis is people must "choose freedom", I.E. - you can't force freedom upon a peoples, they have to choose it for themselves. I rather like that as a basic, almost primordial if I'm permitted to say so, theological distinction. Obviously, primordial is a word used extensively in Heideggerian philosophy, along with words like 'basic' and 'coping'. What I'd like to say is that the relevance of Heidegger within contemporary American society is, in fact, notorious radio-personality Glenn Beck's opposition to Heidegger and ilk. He frequently, and I think this is an important point, derides neo-Heideggerians within America as being a force for Evil - however, I do seem to remember one crucial distinction he made - The basis of his dislike of Heidegger was, and this often seems to be the case, the implications and influence not of Heidegger 'the man', but of those who take his teachings and use them for the groundwork for their academic philosophy/ideology. I think this is important, especially as it relates to my most loved philosophy - the philosophy of G.W.F. Hegel. Hegel is acknowledged to be the most influential philosopher of all time in terms of the impact of a thinker on various disciplines and vocations. However, on the back cover of his Philosophy of Right (written by Robert Solomon), he is credited with begetting (and when I say influential, yes - I literally mean 'beget') both socialism and democracy. So what I'd like to enter into the formula for a moment is the traditional philosophical distinction between judging a philosophy by the life the philosopher lived and the works themselves - and what I'd liek to say is this may, in fact, not be an important distinction - however, it is crucial to note that some judge a philosophy by the content and others by what amounts to polemics. If you think about other important distinctions related to this subject, one that I think we all sort of know is the distinction between the worldviews that deem philosophy itself to be invalid due to the ethical inconsistencies of the society which spurned the philosophy, the person who derived the philosophie etc., and those who respect the validity of the works themselves. So what we see here, in a sense, the way in which polemics play a role in conformity, with the end result being a dismissal by students and others of relevant content without inquiry - and this, I want to say, is conformity. I'm loathe to compare G.W. Bush's ideology/philosophy/theology to an 'unrepentant Nazi', which obviously Heidegger was; but there is a single phrase in seminal and in need of adequate analysis work Zein und Zeit that is basically exactly the same theological position of George W. Bush (take it for what it's worth) - and that is the turn of phrase or theological formula that runs thusly - "Fear is Forgetting", and George Bush in his "Decision Points" makes a great deal out of the distinction between 'Fear' and 'Hope' - not to mention the monumental turn of narrative that I'll simply say we all remember. In terms of repenting, personally, for my knowledge of Heidegger - I'll sum up briefly by referencing an old noir film about two Englishmen who end up in Germany riding a train right as the war of the world number two breaks out. One of them has a copy of 'Zein und Zeit' and the other questions him on it - he responds very casually - "I figure I'd better figure out what this Hitler fellow is going on about". Anyhow - conformity, which I've never defined, can be seen as, within the context of the Greatest Generation, the ability for people to ardently agree with an ideology/philosophy/theology they are not ardently familiar with. Thanks for reading.

Why Do We Remember the Villains, not the Heroes?
Hitler.
Al Capone.
Bill Ayers.
Sound Familiar?
Now try this name.
Waverly Brown
There is no need to fill you in on the names and ideologies of those mentioned previous to Waverly Brown - you already know who they are, what they stood for, what they look like. You should be capable, fully, of summoning a mental image almost immediately of the first three persons to varying degrees of accuracy. We know them. They are not only familiar, not only notorious, but oft glamorized in such a way that we may not even be conscious that such figures are being held to be by many, especially within counter-culture, as virtuous. Why? My answer shouldn't be explicated.

The New Romney Ad which features Hillary Clinton: A foregone conclusion
After the myriad of attack ads leveled at businessman and presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's bid for the oval office, his campaign more or less responded with a single jab directly to Biden's chin: A commercial featuring Hillary Clinton, now Secretary of State and former 'Bama Hussein 2008 POTUS run opponent, saying quote "Barack Obama has spent millions perpetuating falsehoods (etc)... Shame on you Barack Obama." More than simply a play for Clinton sympathizers, the ad shows how a thunderstorm of manifold messages can be undone by a simple flutter of Mormon cricket wings. Obviously a play for female voters, this counter punch hits the "forward" ads directly where they are most vulnerable while remaining overwhelmingly above the belt. I'd assume my international readers are unfamiliar with this advertisement in what 'Bama Hussein and his Regime o' Scum-Powered-Automobile's have turned into a divisive political climate all throughout U.S.A. U.N. Disctrict #103. This understated bit of pole-tested political big tent advertising by the Romney campaign gives voters the signal that Mitt won't be coming off the ropes swinging blindly as the 'forward' initiative by 'Bama Hussein has done. With this comparably sole response to the slew of attack ads leveled at Mitt containing the invocation of Hillary Clinton and her seemingly visceral dislike of 'Bama during the last POTUS election cycle, the Romney Campaign's tone can be surmised thusly; Less is More. Obama, on the other hand, has been making appearance after appearance on Cable/Satellite television during press conferences apparently issued directly from Lucifer's laptop. The amount of 'acting' by 'Bama is thickly 'transparent' as he reads issued teleprompter snippets as if it were casual friday at the middle America cliche factory. I mean, as famed Mustachio John Stossel once said - 'Give Me A Break'. It's so funny to see the dems put on their best conversion suit, trying shamelessly to pander to potential voters whilst going ardently 'off-message' by airing ads about Mitt's lack of support for planned parenthood. That's certainly a revelation of major consequence... a Repub candidate who dislikes abortions... wow. And then the punchline of this particular attack ad - 'Planned Parenthood provides mammograms - why does Romney hate women?' Clearly. Anyhow, the ad in which the Romney Campaign sort of officially dips it's cane into the political dialectic is so massively effective it's almost a cursory, forgone conclusion. It presents something that undecided voters sympathetic to 'Bama Hussein will not likely be able to extract from their conscience when casting their ballot - The 'I supported Hillary Clinton' sentiment they themselves explicated back in 2009. I certainly hope they ultimately take the foregone conclusion to it's utmost implications for the country; that Barack Hussein Obama is 'hurting America'.

Obamatax - The Road to Death Panels
As we as a nation begin our slow climb towards the actual implementation of Death Panels in the United States of America, we should pause briefly to acknowledge Obamatax's devious design. Packed and sold to the public as a cure-all for those obese cigarette smokers who cost us approximately 20 more dollars a month for our insurance, Obamatax hides beneath a web of technicalities the framework for all kinds of nefarious abuses of power down the road; and Romney is right to put repeal of Obamatax first and forefront in his recent campaign advertisements. Scoffed at the idea of Death Panels? That is, a department of pulling the plug on granny? That's just the start of the potential ramifications of Obamatax and similar legislation. With this, we as a society move from deifying science to deifying health; as no one can deny that the body is the temple for the soul and calls for increasing the health of said 'temple' certainly must be the most prescient need for our ailing and waning country. Perhaps we should re-enlist Arnold Schwarzenegger to sell government programs to our children whilst mocking their belly fat! It certainly would have the right tone for creating an entire leg of government honed to quantifying health, finances, and who to spend resources on. If you posit that given an adequate length of time for the potential effects of given legislation to come to fruition then much is possible, surely you could see that imposed sterilization, restricted healthcare access, imprisonment of the uninsured, and forced abortions are all distinctly possible permutations of Obamatax type legislation. Obamatax is a federal monstrosity which will consume what Washington elite's refer to as 'Fly-Over Country', and could have a number of unforeseen consequences in which the freedom of individuals takes a backseat to charts and graphs indicating probabilities. The idea of death panels, as properly understood, seems foreign and improbable to many. The fact that this was first advanced by Sarah Palin, who other than being lampooned by Katie Couric was a rogue tea party republican with problems with the establishment, shows that the conservative movement didn't want the public to be capable of 'looking away' or 'sticking their heads in the sand' when it came to reckoning with the main problematic of Obamatax - Loss of Life. I'd suppose the issue splits right down the middle between the 'right to life' crowd and the 'right to choose' crowd, further solidifying the 'choice' movement's connections with planned parenthood and eugenics. Obamatax IS the implementation of the ideology of eugenics - if not repealed, Obamatax WILL result in quantifiable loss of life. These are certainties. Now one would probably be better off weighing the potential effects of Obamatax on the pragmatic realities of simply receiving healthcare, and this too, I'm certain, will suffer from the Obamatax legislation. It's not unheard of in some places with socialized medicine for people to be unable to receive care for periods of days or weeks; and while this might not happen tomorrow or the next day, one has to wonder - what about the children?

Inside Scoop - The Fracking over-ride vote
So the big news in NC this morn' is that the Fracking Veto made by Bev Perdue was over turned last night in a late session vote in the state legislature, much to the chagrin of dems statewide.
Well, I'm blogging this very quickly as I have an inside scoop on the over-ride vote from inside the legislature. A reliable inside source has informed me that during the vote last night, a single dem representative named Rep. Carney mistakenly cast her vote incorrectly by quote "pushing the wrong button". Not only is this a fact from inside the legislature, apparently - if the vote had not been made incorrectly, the over-ride of the fracking veto would not have gone through; meaning it was this single mistakenly cast vote that led to the fracking veto being over-turned. Apparently, during the vote someone (presumably Rep. Carney) was heard to shout, "Oh no, I pushed the wrong button!"
I'll leave this piece of breaking news as a testament to Politalk's politcal cahone's and simply say, "Insert Misogynistic Punchline Here".
