Still coming in and it’s not looking all that good for a major power swing away from the road to socialism. Is the fraud that rampant or are the sheep still asleep? For the latest Florida election results go to http://enight.dos.state.fl.us/MyElection.aspx

It takes a minute to add all the races, amendments etc to your custom results but once done it can be refreshed to show the latest results.

I’m pretty happy with what looks to be the outcome in Florida with the exception of a few. Alex Snitker has a minuscule amount of votes thanks to the msm shutting him out. Perhaps it’s for the best. I don’t think he would have had a chance considering the “slobbering love affair” (where have I heard that term before?) that the msm and lots of Tea Party people had for Rubio.  Foxnews was talking about a possible potus run in his future. WTF? Of course fox had him on almost weekly.Too many votes for Snitker might have just got Crist in.

I held my nose and voted for scary bald guy Rick Scott because it was a close race. I voted against the Dem Alex (short for Alexandria I think) Sink. I wanted to vote for Peter Allen and probably would have been safe to do so. Latest has him with 2.5% and Scott over Sink by 5%. Would have been risky though. Sorry Peter. Keep at it.

Looks like Jo Anne Jones is not going to win thankfully. She’s a lifelong teacher with a phd so obviously knows how to raise your kid better than you.

Other than that everyone I was voted for is winning.

Remember the vote counting problems in Florida 2000 Gore vs Bush W? After that the democrats spent 8 years saying Bush stole the election even though it was proven that Bush won Florida. They decided to get even. In 2008 we had acorn, dead people voting, people voting multiple times and then even more cases of election fraud were found after the fact. Nothing happened. Obama should probably not even be POTUS but we have a liberal media that is in love with him so nothing was done. They pretty much campaigned for him so they couldn’t exactly turn around and report the election fraud. Now in 2010, as the majority of U.S. citizens (legal) try to stop the socialists, it’s happening again.

Arizona: there’s no proof of citizenship required to vote even though federal law says only U.S. citizens are allowed to vote. The AZ law requiring proof of citizenship was recently overturned by a liberal Judge and we know that only certain federal laws are actually enforced.

Nevada: machines pre-loaded with nominees checked for your convenience. Person in charge of the machines (Lomax) in Nevada claims it is a “glitch” or “sensitive” machines. Favor to: Democrats, of course. (The techs that work on those voting machines are members of SEIU)

North Carolina: Almost identical problems to those in Nevada. Multiple occurrences of candidates pre-selected for the voters’ convenience. Favor to: Democrats, of course.

New York: Absentee ballots for overseas military personnel delayed, jeaopardizing their ability to be counted. NY election officials threaten that the ballots “may not count”. Favor to: Democrats.

Washington:  Same as Arizona, illegals can vote.

Las Vegas Teachers Union offering Starbucks gift cards to teachers voting for Reid.

Texas: early voting started on Monday, October 18. And almost immediately, allegations of fraud and misconduct at the polls followed. I’m told that the Harris County Attorney’s Office is looking into several specific instances of poll worker misconduct in Texas House District 148, where Republican Fernando Herrera is challenging Democratic incumbent Jessica Farrar.

Philedelphia suburbs: A trio of Bucks County residents backed by the county Republican committee say they have evidence linking Democratic Congressman Patrick Murphy’s campaign to a scheme to flood the county voter registration office with fraudulent applications for absentee ballots.

Illinois:  State Representative Dan Brady (R-Bloomington) is calling for a hearing to question county clerks who failed to mail absentee ballots on time to military personnel serving overseas. At least 35 Illinois jurisdictions were found to be in violation of the Sept. 18 national deadline set by the 2009 Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act (MOVE). (most Military are not Dems)

Las Vegas: again: Two days ago, the Democratic Secretary of State announced that voters can be provided “free food” at “voter turnout events.” Harry Reid has been offering free food and, according to other reports, some Democratic allies such as teachers’ unions are offering gift cards in return for a vote for Reid.

Florida: Daytona Beach City Commissioner Derrick Henry and Genesis Robinson, his campaign manager, face voter-fraud charges. In an apparent re-election tactic, they allegedly completed 92 absentee-ballot applications with the names of Floridians who never requested them or who had moved away. (They’re Democrats BTW)

Connecticut: The return address on 250 absentee-ballot applications in Bridgeport, Connecticut is 1238 North Avenue — a vacant lot. (guess which way they voted)

Texas: “‘Would you like to vote a straight Democratic Party ticket?,” is something being uttered all over Houston in early Texas voting right now according to former Justice Department prosecutor J. Christian Adams. Texas poll workers are asking.

Colorado: Then there was the Mi Familia Vota Education Fund in Colorado busted for falsifying voter registrations. Since Obama is promising amnesty, I’m giving the nudge to this fraud to the Democrats.

Troy, New York: This time, they collected DNA evidence to bust Democrats fraudulently filling out absentee ballots. – Advantage Democrats

Jersey: Dibrofsky says that he was at the offices of the Jersey City Education Association (JCEA), coordinating get-out-the-vote efforts, when an unidentified man arrived and announced that he had two voting machines to deliver. The two voting machines, Dibrofsky said, “were already locked, loaded, and voted,” by which he meant that the voting machines already had simulated vote tallies on them, ready to be printed out at the end of the day. Guess who most of the votes were for. Dems.

Illinois: This summer, in another piece of election legislation, lawmakers approved allowing anyone to send out applications for vote-by-mail ballots. And more than 900,000 of the applications were sent to voters by the state Democratic Party. The trouble is the return address was the Democratic Party – where political workers would process the voter’s data, then forward the applications to county clerks.

Ohio: Cincinnati schools under fire for busing students to vote and handing them Democrat-only sample ballots.

Philadelphia: Paying people to go to the polls (and vote Democrat). That is from the chairman of the Philadelphia Democratic party.

Texas: Another blow has been dealt to voters in Harris County, Texas just days after the Harris County Voter Registrar Leo Vasquez released a 72 page PowerPoint on voting irregularities from a local group similar to the infamous ACORN. Today, voters are waking up with the news that the Harris County Election Technology Center was the site of a massive three-alarm fire early this morning burning all the voting machines. (fraud cover up?)

These are just the ones that got caught so far. I’d say by 2012 we’ll be fully 3rd world with rioting in the streets around election time. We’ve already been forced to vote for one of the lesser of two evils just to keep the worse one from getting elected. Now we can’t even trust in that. Will there even be voting in 2012? Goodbye America.

If you see any election/voter fraud report it to voterfraud at foxnews dot com It’s the only news that hasn’t been taken over by Obama loving socialists.

Alex Snitker was shadowboxing three men the other day — as usual, from a distance that would not get him arrested.

The Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate was standing with a microphone across the street from Orlando’s ABC affiliate, where the three major candidates — Republican Marco Rubio, independent Charlie Crist and Democrat Kendrick Meek — were sparring in a live debate.

Outside, Snitker answered the same questions as the Big Three — only he had a volunteer watching the debate at home feed questions to him via cell phone.

“I will be at every debate,” Snitker, 35, of Spring Hill, later declared, “whether I’m invited or not.”

Even in this political moment that hails the “citizen candidate” over the “career politician,” Snitker, the office supply salesman-turned-senatorial candidate, can’t get much traction — no matter how much noise he makes.

He crashed a media-sponsored candidate forum to which he had not been invited. His campaign volunteers flooded pollster Rasmussen Reports with e-mails and calls after his name was excluded from polls. He puts out news releases that lambaste his opponents and peddle his own conventional wisdom, such as “Snitker is considered to be the most consistent Constitutional conservative in the race.”

And with a few exceptions, silence follows.

Snitker blames the usual suspects — the mainstream media, the Republican/Democratic establishment, the pollsters — for his relative anonymity.

But he also wants to know why the tea party crowd flocked to Rubio and not him. And why won’t Glenn Beck’s producers put him on a show, anyway? And why does Bubba the Love Sponge — “Bubba’s a Libertarian!” said Snitker — never take his calls?

“I really thought those guys would welcome me with open arms, and they have shunned us,” Snitker said. “The one thing this campaign is going to show is … if you’re a regular guy, you can’t get into this thing no matter what.”

• • •

Snitker grew up in New Port Richey. His father is a retired machinist, and his mother works for the Pasco County Tax Collector’s office. He graduated from Gulf High School in 1993, served in the U.S. Marines and later worked as a recruiter.

He married his high school sweetheart, Kelly, now a medical assistant at a dermatologist’s office. They have a son, Michael, who turns 3 next month.

A few years ago he got a job in Orlando selling fax and copier machines to businesses. The Snitkers in 2007 bought a home outside Orlando, but had to short-sell last year after the bank began foreclosing. The couple had fallen behind on their $184,000 adjustable-rate mortgage. They now rent a home from relatives in Spring Hill.

“I blame myself more than anyone for that one,” he said.

Politics? He never ran for anything before, not even student council in high school, but being a former Marine, he tried to pay attention. “I’ve always been an observer,” he said, “but I would get frustrated because I never heard an answer to my questions.”

Snitker said his run got its beginnings a couple of years ago when he spent hours yelling at the television news.

“I was going back and forth on every issue, almost debating myself,” he recalled recently. “Little did I know I was building a platform at the same time.”

His platform includes: abolishing the Internal Revenue Service and establishing an across-the-board “fair tax” on goods and services; making Social Security optional; setting term limits for Congress; abolishing other federal agencies, including the Department of Education.

“I guess being an anti-establishment guy I said, ‘Okay, I’ll pick the party that best represents me,’ and I picked Libertarian.”

• • •

His wife, Kelly, had known he loved to talk politics. She calls him “the most honest and passionate person you’ll ever meet.” Still, she was surprised the day he came home and said he had something serious to tell her.

“I didn’t know what he was getting into,” she said. “I don’t know if he did.”

His father, Dennis, said he’d told his son to “go for it.” He stenciled “Snitker” on the back of an old business sign and stuck it on his truck.

“I just told him, ‘Be honest, don’t lie, because it’ll catch up with you,’ ” he said.

Snitker started picking up volunteers at various “9/12″ meetings and through his website and Facebook pages. He has put more than 100,000 miles on his 2005 Saturn Ion driving to events around the state. He had raised nearly $25,000 through the last reporting period.

“We don’t have a campaign headquarters,” said volunteer media director Adrian Wyllie, who owns an IT consulting company. “We have a P.O. box.”

Snitker, who resigned from his day job, has his fans.

“As far as I’m concerned, the big three candidates are absolutely mired in scandal,” said Greg Bowen, a Libertarian and Snitker supporter from Clearwater. “We keep handing them power.”

But while Snitker declares himself the ideal candidate for the tea party, many in that movement have rallied behind Rubio. One big reason? They want to win, said Sharon Calvert, president of Tampa tea party.

“From the Tampa tea party perspective, we’re not endorsing third-party candidates. Down the road, we’re not sure,” Calvert said. “We look at this as a very critical election, and we want to get behind a candidate we feel can win.”

Snitker insists he might have a chance if only more people knew about him. He touts political bloggers’ predictions that he could get at least 5 percent of the vote. He makes a bold prediction: If he could participate in the televised debates, he’d win.

“I think people will go, ‘You know what man? I’m going to vote for this guy,’ ” he said. “I firmly believe that.”

Snitker’s camp has tried to get Rubio’s attention, but the front-runner ignores the questions they shout at him as he leaves events. Then last weekend, a ray of hope.

Snitker approached Crist at a Tampa candidates forum. He asked if Crist would support his inclusion in the upcoming debates. Crist, he said, replied: ” ‘Sure, we’d love to have you.’ ”

Maybe he was just being polite? No matter. Snitker’s campaign released a new statement: “Crist Calls For Snitker’s Inclusion In Debates.”

Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate Alex Snitker speaks to around 5,000 members of 11 tea party groups at the Tea Party Network’s Forward to the Constitution Day Rally on 9/18/2010 in St. Augustine, Florida. Snitker spoke shortly after rival Marco Rubio, just one day after being excluded from the Senatorial debate in Miami. Snitker spent all day greeting and speaking with tea party members, while Rubio arrived minutes before his speech and left immediately afterword.

T.E.A. Taxed Enough Already seems to be catching on. Inspired by common sense Americans, TEA parties have started in Australia, UK, Italy and the Netherlands. And the left thought they had the market cornered on worldly views.

From Australia,

From the UK,

Since its launch its February, the TEA party movement of the UK have gone from strength to strength. Campaigning for libertarian principles of limited government and lower taxes, TEA party activists were initially critical of the Labour government, but now with tax increases in the budget, the current coalition government is also facing some backlash.

“Activists are hold a rally at next month’s Conservative party conference in Birmingham at which criticism of Coalition policies will be aired.

A British division, launched last year by The Freedom Association, has held events including a “Boston tea party” in Boston, Lincs.

It has joined forces with the Taxpayers’ Alliance pressure group, which is being advised by Freedom Works, a large Washington-based political group that backs Tea Party candidates.”

Patricia Sullivan Endorsed for Congress by Notorious Defender of our Constitution, Sheriff Richard Mack (ret.) of Arizona

Eustis, Florida – Retired Sheriff Richard Mack of Graham County Arizona defender of liberty, freedom, and our Constitution, endorses Patricia Sullivan for Congress in Florida’s 8^th District.  Sheriff Mack has personally fought against an intrusive federal government, defeating the Brady Bill and the Clinton Administration in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Sheriff Mack stated, “I am honored to have this opportunity to endorse a great American Patriot, Patricia Sullivan, the People’s Congressional Candidate in Florida’s 8th District.  Patricia is just the New Breed of Representative America needs in Congress leading this Constitutional Renaissance.  Patricia is the Candidate who will represent you and not the special interest groups; she will listen to you and stand up for you, ‘the People’ of the 8th District, without compromising you or her Integrity.  I urge you all to stand with Patricia and support her campaign so that she may stand for you in Washington”.

“Andrew Jackson said ‘One man with courage makes a majority.’  When no one else stood their ground to protect the people from an overbearing Federal Government, Sheriff Mack did.  Then others followed.  In this landmark case against the Clinton administration and the Brady Bill mandates, the Supreme Court decided ‘The Federal Government may not compel the States to enact or administer a federal regulatory program.’  We need leaders in our States willing to stand up for the people, keep their oath to the Constitution, and push back a growing Federal Government.  We also need leaders in Congress who will recognize State Sovereignty and be willing to work within the boundaries of the enumerated powers granted by the Constitution.  I’m honored Sheriff Mack recognizes me as such a leader” replied Patricia.

SHERIFF JOE ARPAIO ENDORSES TODD LONG

America’s Sheriff Sees Fighter, Leader in Long

Orlando—Today, Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, offered his endorsement to Todd Long in his bid to replace Congressman Alan Grayson (D-FL). Sheriff Arpaio is a nationally recognized leader in the immigration enforcement movement and has been fighting to secure our borders his entire career. Arpaio recently appeared at a rally in Phoenix to support Arizona and their new immigration law which was held by Long and local Tea Party activists.

“I am proud to offer my endorsement to Todd Long in his run for Congress. Todd is going to go to Washington and lead the fight against amnesty and to secure our borders,” said Arpaio. “With Todd fighting in Congress, we will have a better chance of reversing course and saving our Republic.”

Long said, “I admire Sheriff Joe so much because he gets things done and fights the courageous fight to keep Americans safe every single day. We know that President Obama is going to jam amnesty down our throats after this 2010 election. Our message is clear: The party is over!”

“I am the only candidate in this race fighting against amnesty and illegal immigration because I know how devastating it has been to our nation. I know that if we do not prevail on this issue, we will lose on all our other issues as well and become a bankrupt, government-dependent nation with a very low standard of living for its citizens. We will not be fooled any longer by these Republican candidates who are funded by big business, like illegal immigration and want cheap, illegal labor. The Conservative Comeback’s time has come!”

My first decision/endorsement is for United States Senate Representing Florida. Alex Snitker. After finding another report on Judicial Watch regarding Rubio my mind has been made up about him. I do still have my eye on a Bobbie Bean as well as Snitker.

http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/2010/apr/fla-republican-party-under-criminal-probe

Florida’s Republican Party is being criminally investigated by the feds for allowing elected officials and their staff to illegally go on wild personal spending sprees with tax-exempt political funds.

Several federal agencies—including the Justice Department and Internal Revenue Service—are conducting the widespread probe which is focusing on some of the state’s most high-profile politicians, including the party’s frontrunner for an open U.S. Senate seat, former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio.

A  Florida newspaper investigation recently revealed that Rubio, the Sunshine State’s new Republican darling, billed the party for more than $100,000 worth of highly questionable items during the two years that he served as House Speaker. The charges included repairs to the family minivan, grocery bills, airline tickets for his wife and purchases from various retailers near his home. Rubio also charged the party for dozens of meals during the annual lawmaking session in Tallahassee, even though he received taxpayer subsidies for food.

Last month a complaint was filed with the Florida Commission on Ethics accusing Rubio, a Cuban-American from Miami, of misspending donations to the Republican Party of Florida and his political committees to subsidize his lifestyle. The complaint also accuses Rubio of using his public office to get an unadvertised job at a public university when it was cutting its workforce.

Rubio is not the only one in trouble. The former state party chairman (Jim Greer) and executive director (Delmar Johnson) are also suspected of misusing their party credit cards for personal expenses. Political parties are tax exempt and are only allowed to spend money on political activities such as fundraising, running campaigns and registering voters.

In Florida Republicans dominate state government and the party’s coffers are routinely filled with millions of dollars from lobbyists and special interests. Elected officials and their staff have long been suspected of spending the money illegally with no oversight.

Marco Rubio is just another self serving professional politician in my humble opinion. I knew when I read about him being “an ardent defender of illegal immigrants who certainly doesn’t want to publicize the dark side of illegal immigration or the huge toll it’s having on his state” that he was not a true Tea Party candidate yet he was campaigning the tea party circuit. That and his initial reaction to Arizona being negative when 70% of the Country has a positive opinion shows that he is not “for the people”. Oh, he did the flip flop on it too. That makes it even worse. I’d prefer someone who stands their ground on their opinion even if we don’t agree. It’s better than feeling like a salesman is conning me.

Snitker2010

This morning I got an invite via facebook in my email. It was from Patricia Sullivan who started the local Tea Party here and is now a candidate running for Florida’s District 8 against Alan Grayson. I read the email and recognized the name of one of the speakers at the “Stand with Arizona Rally” I was being invited to. I recognized the name because this man was in the news throughout his career and especially in the last several of them. Now keep in mind this Rally is being organized and sponsored by Tea Party groups from the region.

North Lake TEA Party, South Lake 912 Tea Party, Tri-County Tea Party, Ocala Tea Party, Volusia 912, Hernando 912, Nature Coast 912, Seminole 912, Central Florida 912, Deltona 912 Patriots, Tea Party Patriots Live

The region includes Orange County FL most if not all of which is in District 8. This man who has been invited to speak is Former Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary. The reason he was in the news so much towards the end of his elected position of Sherrif is due to a controversy that ultimately ended with him admitting guilt to ethics charges. It also resulted in then Sheriff Beary and other republicans being forced to endorse a Democrat that took his place as Sheriff. What was it that the Tea Parties are fighting against? Oh yeah, now I remember. Corrupt Politicians wasting taxpayer money. Here’s some details regarding Kevin Beary’s “ethics codes violation” which would have simply been called fraud or grand theft if it were you or me.

June 13, 2009|By Henry Pierson Curtis, Sentinel Staff Writer

Former Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary admitted he violated the state’s Standards of Conduct for Public Officers by joining a nonprofit venture with several aides to market a Homeland Security survey created with public funds, according to records released Friday by the Florida Commission on Ethics.

In a pending settlement signed Monday by his lawyer, Beary admitted his work for National Domestic Preparedness Coalition Inc. created “a conflict between his private interests and the performance of his public duties or that would impede the full and faithful discharge of his public duties.”

The venture damaged Beary’s credibility with members of his command staff as well as deputies, who learned in 2005 he accepted $43,000 for “off-duty work” despite promising he wouldn’t pay himself from the business.

http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2009-06-13/news/kevin_1_beary-ethics-commission-public-duties

And

In 2004 and 2005, Beary was the subject of accusations of corruption by a former subordinate turned political rival in the 2004 sheriff’s race and a local television news station, which resulted in an audit of homeland security spending by his department. Beary was later cleared of any wrongdoing by a Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation. On April 20, 2007 the Florida Ethics Commission found probable cause to believe that Beary violated Florida Ethics laws as a result of his involvement in his homeland security business and filed four counts against him. Beary is being prosecuted by the Florida Attorney General’s Office and was to face trial on October 24, 2007 before a State of Florida Division of Administrative Hearings Judge on Case # 07-001820EC where Beary could have faced penalties up to removal from office.

In 2008, Beary decided not to run for a fifth term as Orange County Sheriff and left office on January 5, 2009. During the general election for his successor, Beary endorsed Jerry Demings, a Democrat, who was a former Chief of the Orlando Police Department, a former Orange County Director of Public Safety, and the first African-American to hold those posts in each agency’s respective history. Demings also received endorsements from several other high-profile local Republicans to include former City of Orlando Mayor and Florida Secretary of State Glenda Hood. Demings won the election and relieved Beary in a ceremony on January 5, 2009.

In July 2009 Kevin Beary plead guilty to violating Florida ethics laws in the above mentioned case. He was fined a total of $20,000.00, ordered to have no business relationship with the company he started using tax dollars and public employees for three years and given a public reprimand and censure by the Governor of Florida.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Beary#Controversy

And so here it is less than one year after pleading guilty to violating Florida’s ethics laws (aka financially defrauding taxpayers, which evidently is not all that bad of a thing) and he’s going to be speaking at a Tea Part organized Rally. How’s that for ironic idiocy. The man basically committed fraud against not only Orange County taxpayers but against United States taxpayers, since he was using funds from both, he made $43,000 off the fraud and was only required to pay back $20,000 in the form of a fine, he was not removed from office, did not go to jail or even get probation. He was however publicly reprimanded ooh aah. Do the organizers of this rally, one of whom is running for office, really think Mr Beary is a good example of an elected official. Thee highest ranking LEO at that. I’ve been walking around fuming about this all day. I was calming down but then something else crossed my mind. Please don’t tell me he’s being paid to speak. That would just make me lose it. What kind of example are we setting for our children when the man elected Sheriff robs the people, lies to and disgraces his fellow LEOs, doesn’t really get punished (in fact profited) and less than a year later gets a public speaking engagement that he may actually be getting paid for.

That’s what’s wrong with US.
